The grandson of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w) Imam Husayn (As) son of Ali bin Abi Talib (A.s) and Fatimah (A.s) Bint Muhammad (s.a.w.w) was martyred on 10^th Muharram 61 A.H in the plains of Karbala by the army of Yazid bin Muawiya.

This tragedy of Karbala, as is famously known, presents the everlasting struggle between right and wrong – justice and injustice.

This struggle is inevitable in every human being. There exists an inner voice in us that tells us to do good and act justly on one side. And on the other hand, another tempting voice that commands us to do the opposite. It takes an independent minded person like Hur ibn Yazid     Ar-riahi (r.a) who, all along was serving under Yazid’s army, to change his mind and join Imam Husayn’s (A.s) camp.
