تاريخ الإسلام والأنبياء والصحابة
واقعة كربلاء الأليمة (ملحمة الفداء)
72 faithful companions and family members of the Holy Prophet ﷺ — Water access to the Euphrates River was cut off for three days against the family of Rasulullah ﷺ.
72 martyrs (including Imam Husayn, his sons Ali al-Akbar and infant Ali al-Asghar, Abbas, Qasim, and loyal Sahabah)
4,000–30,000 Kufan cavalry and infantry
Over 80 Kufans slain in individual duels
Surrounded at Karbala, Imam Husayn gave his companions the freedom to leave in the night, but every single one refused, choosing martyrdom alongside the Prophet's grandson. On the Day of Ashura, after his companions and family members fell one after another, Imam Husayn fought with astonishing lion-hearted valor despite dehydration and 33 lance wounds and 34 sword cuts before being martyred.
The Kufan army surrounded the camp, blockading water from women and children.
One by one, the noble companions and Ahl al-Bayt sacrificed themselves to protect Imam Husayn.
Imam Husayn fought with unmatched valor until his pure soul ascended to his Grandfather ﷺ.
The eternal moral lodestar of Islam. Shattered any notion of hereditary tyranny and inspired righteous reform movements across Islamic history.
Narrated Ya'la ibn Murrah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. May Allah love whoever loves Husayn. Husayn is a nation among nations.'
Narrated Ibn Abi Nu'm: A man asked Ibn Umar about the blood of a mosquito (while in Ihram). Ibn Umar said: 'Look at this! They ask about a mosquito while they shed the blood of the grandson of the Prophet ﷺ!'
