Al-Hussain in Prophetic Sunnah

Al-Hussain in Prophetic Sunnah

The life and sacrifice of Imam Ḥusayn (ʿa) were not isolated events in Islamic history—they were foretold and honored within the sayings of Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him and his Family). Al-Hussain in Prophetic Sunnah unveils how the Prophet’s own words and actions affirmed Imam Ḥusayn’s (ʿa) sanctity, mission, and destiny at Karbalāʾ, establishing his martyrdom as a continuation of the Prophetic legacy of truth (ḥaqq) and justice (ʿadl).

About the Book

Al-Hussain in Prophetic Sunnah gathers narrations from the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) that describe the love, praise, and grief of Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him and his Family) for his grandson, Imam Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (ʿa). Drawing from authentic ḥadīth sources, the book illustrates how the Prophet (peace be upon him and his Family) foretold the tragedy of Karbalāʾ and emphasized the spiritual rank of Imam Ḥusayn (ʿa) as a symbol of sacrifice and divine guidance. The author situates these narrations within the broader mission of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa) (the Prophet’s Household), linking the mercy of the Prophet with the steadfastness of his Family. The text combines devotional reverence with scholarly analysis, making the Prophetic witness to Imam Ḥusayn’s (ʿa) revolution intelligible to contemporary readers.
