mam Hussains (as) name deserves a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records as the historic figure who has been the greatest subject of poetry of all languages in the world. Prophet Mohammed (SAWW) “Hasan (Imam Hussain’s elder brother) and Hussain are the leaders of the youth of Paradise” “As a result of the assassination of Hussain such a warmth will be kindled in the hearts of the believers that shall not become cold till the Day of Ressurection.” Hussain o minni wa ana minal Hussain - Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain Mahatma Gandhi (Father of the Nation - India)“My admiration for the noble sacrifice of Imam Hussein (a.s) as a martyr abounds, because he accepted death and the torture of thrust for himself, for his sons, and for his whole family, but did not submit to unjust authorities.”“I learnt from Hussain how to achieve victory while being oppressed.” My faith is that the progress of Islam does not depend on the use of sword by its believers, but the result of the supreme sacrifice of Hussain.” “If India wants to be a successful country, it must follow in the footsteps of Imam Hussain(as). “If I had an army like the 72 soldiers of Hussain, I would have won freedom for India in 24 hours.” Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (1st Prime Minister of India)There is a universal appeal in his martyrdom. Hazrat Imam Hussein (a.s) sacrificed his all, but he refused to submit to a tyrannical government. He never gave any weight to the fact that his material force was far less in comparison with that of an enemy; the power of faith to his greatest force, which regards all material force as nothing. This sacrifice is a beacon light of guidance for every community and every nation” Imam Hussains sacrifice is for all groups and communities, an example of the path of rightousness. Muhammad Ali Jinnah (1st President of Pakistan)“The world is unable to present an example finer and brighter than thepersonality of Imam Hussein (a.s). He was the embodiment of love, valorand personification of sacrifice and devotion. Every Muslim, inparticular, must learn a lesson from his life and should seek guidancefrom him.” Reynold Alleyne Nicholson (Eminent English orientalist scholar of both Islamic literature and Islamic mysticism)Hussain fell, pierced by an arrow, and his brave followers were cut down beside him to the last man. Muhammadan tradition, which with rare exceptions is uniformly hostile to the Umayyad dynasty, regards Hussain as a martyr and Yazid as his murderer.
