No more than 50 years had passed since the death of Muhammad

(the last Prophet of Islam) and the Muslim Empire was sliding into corruption

under a tyrant from the Ummayad dynasty, Yazid

Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad took a stand against

Yazid’s illegitimate rule. Whilst Yazid was in equal parts feared and despised

for his ruthlessness, Hussain was admired and respected by society at large

Mindful of this, Yazid decided that he would demand Hussain’s allegiance,

hoping to gain some form of legitimacy for his inherited rule

Hussain had a choice to make. To endorse Yazid would no doubt mean a

handsome reward and a life of luxury. To refuse would invariably lead to his

own demise. What should he do? What would you or I do? For Hussain the

choice between the easy thing and the right thing was no choice at all

Hussain refused

He said:I will never give Yazid my hand like a man who has been humiliated

nor will I flee like a slave. I have not risen to spread evil or to show off. I

only desire to enjoin good values and prevent evil
