In the darkness of the trials and hardships of the times and the darkness of the devil's traps, Hussain is the guiding light and guide of man towards the light and enlightenment that one must follow in order to be guided to the destination. Falling ahead of the guiding light and falling behind it leads to destruction. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said:

« مَثَلُ أَهْلِ بَیْتِی کَمَثَلِ سَفِینَهِ نُوحٍ مَنْ رَکِبَهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا هَلَکَ‏»  “The example of my family is like that of Noah’s ark. Whoever boards it will be saved, and whoever stays behind will perish.”

Bihar al-Anwar 23, p. 124 Just as the Ark of Prophet Noah saved humanity, anyone who wants to be saved from drowning in the turbulent sea of ​​the world and its pollutions must board the ship of salvation of Imam Hussein. Whoever does not board this ship will drown in the waves of the turbulent sea of ​​events and misfortunes of the times. "Whoever deviates from it will perish." The only way to salvation is to board the ship of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) and hold on to this strong divine rope along with holding on to the Quran.

The Prophet of Islam also said: " انا الحسین مصباح الهدی و سفینة النجاة"  This means that Imam Hussein (AS) is the lamp of guidance and the ship of salvation. This hadith expresses the special position of Imam Hussein (AS) in Islam and his role in guiding and saving people. With the Ashura uprising, he presented a model of resistance against oppression and oppression and an effort to revive the religion of Islam.
The lamp of guidance:
This part of the hadith means that Imam Hussein (AS) shows people the right path with his behavior and speech and saves them from misguidance. By providing a practical example of faith, piety, and morality, he lights a lamp on the path of guiding people.
The ship of salvation:
This part of the hadith means that Imam Hussein (AS) saves people from drowning in the whirlpool of oppression and corruption with his uprising. The Ashura uprising was a revolutionary movement to revive Islam and confront deviations. Imam Hussein (AS) saved the Islamic nation from the danger of destruction with his sacrifice.

The major trait of Muslim Ummah is immense love for the family of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) especially his grandsons whom he himself loved immensely. To write a detailed biography on merits of his 2 grandsons would require uncountable pages therefore we have taken detailed extracts from the famous history work called "Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah written by Imam Ibn Kathir (rah)" It mentions virtues of Imam Hussain (Radhi Allah Anhu), his martyrdom, “what actually happened" "who was behind his martyrdom" "who fought him" "where" "when" "how" and why?” and the correct way of how we should remember him.

INTRODUCTION OF IMAM HUSAYN (P) IN LECTURES ON ASHURA

It cannot be gainsaid that the Ashura Day or the Tragedy of Karbala has no parallel in the history of the world. Though its significance has been realized by a large number of people, yet it requires to be brought home to the ignorant masses and the educated persons, who are desirous of learning the true concepts of Islam, but have been handicapped by hearing or listening to only one-sided or biased accounts.

This tragedy occurred (61 A.H) 50 years after the passing away of the Holy Prophet (11 A.H). The hero of this tragedy was Husayn bin Ali bin Ali Talib (P) the grandson of the Holy Prophet. The Holy Imam [ Husayn (P) ] was martyred on the l0th of Muharrum (Ashura day 61 A.H) at the plains of Karbala (Iraq).

Why was he martyred? It was because he refused to pay allegiance to Yazid who was nominated Caliph by his father Muawiyyah. Muawiyyah, who belonged to the Umayyad clan was the worst enemy of Ali (P) who, like the Holy Prophet, belonged to the Hashimiite clan. The enmity between the Umayyad and the Hashimiites was proverbial. In the battle of Badr most of the Umayyad were killed and Islam was now on a firm footing. Abu Sufyan who was always trying to kill the Holy Prophet and destroy Islam, was the leader of the Umayyad. Although later he apparently professed Islam, he was at heart the bitterest enemy of Islam and the Prophet.

When Yazid, the vilest of the vile, son of Muawiyyah and grandson of Abu Sufyan, declared himself to be the Caliph of Islam, he got martyred Husayn son of Ali and Fatima, the dearest daughter of the Prophet of Islam. The fight between Husayn (P) and Yazid (L) was really a fight between Truth and Falsehood, and between Faith and Infidelity .Had Husayn (P) any desire for power, he would not have gone forward to sacrifice his life along with a band of less than hundred of his kith and kin including his children and women.

This tragedy occurred within fifty years of the passing away of the Holy Prophet. During the twenty-three years of the Prophetic mission an unparalleled revolution had taken place. The Holy Prophet suffered extreme troubles in propagating Islam which gloriously spread by leaps and bounds with the support of his real uncle Abu Talib who had nurtured him in his childhood and protected and defended him from his inveterate enemies.

After the demise of Abu Talib the Holy Prophet pursued his preaching with his cousin Ali bin Abi Talib (P) at his support, until the task was accomplished in 10 A.H. It was then that after receiving Allah's command Proclaim what has been sent down to you and if you do not, you would not accomplish the mission at all. -(5 : 67). The Prophet of Islam, returning from his Farewell Hajj, ordered a halt at Ghadir-e-Khum on 18th Zil Hij, mounted the pulpit and taking Ali's(P) hand in his own proclaimed amongst multitudes of muslims. "I leave behind two grand things -Allah's Book (the Qur'an) and my Progeny (Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husayn). Beware! how you behave to them when I am gone from amongst you. Both of them will never separate from each other until they reach me in Heaven at the fountain of Kauther". Then he reiterated taking Ali's hand in his hand "Whomsoever I own the guardian- ship Ali also owns his guardianship?" The Divine Mission was accomplished and shortly afterwards the Holy Prophet passed away in Madina on 28th of Safer or 12th of Rabiul Awwal.

Thus ended the revelation of Wahi,since the Holy Prophet was the last Prophet and the Holy Qur'an is the last Book of Allah.

The Holy Prophet in his lifetime had forewarned the people of the atrocious activities of Bani Umayya against his progeny. The Holy Qur'an also said: Say O Prophet! I do: not require any recompense from you except love for my kin. Allah also said about the Prophet's Ahlul Bayt: Verily Allah intends but to keep off from you, O' the People of the House, every kind of uncleanness and purify you with a thorough purification. (33: 33)
