Highlights of Karbala
The events of Karbala reflect the collision of the good versus the evil, the virtuous versus the wicked, and the collision of Imam Husayn (the head of virtue) versus Yazid (the head of impiety). Al-Husayn was a revolutionary person, a righteous man, the religious authority, the Imam of Muslim Ummah.
The Story Of Imam Husayn
Imam Husayn (S) is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (S) and the son of both Imam Ali (A) and Lady Fatimah (A). Prophet Muhammad (S) adored him and credited him with a number of important merits during his life. However some 50 years later he was brutally massacred for refusing to side with a corrupt tyrant.

THE DAY OF ASHURA
Ashura marks the death anniversary of Hussain ibn Ali, a 7th century revolutionary leader who was killed in The Battle of Karbala. The Day of Ashura is recognised by millions across the world to remember Hussain’s dignified stand for social justice.
THE BATTLE OF KARBALA
Hussain, his companions and family were forced to stop in the desert land of Karbala by Yazid’s soldiers. At dawn on the Day of Ashura, Hussain and his men knew what was coming and made their final prayers. Despite knowing they would die that day, all of Hussain’s men which had reached over 70 people, stayed loyal to him and their cause and chose to die loyal to their principles rather than live under a corrupt ruler.
