SACRIFICE...!!

Human history is not only a story of rise and fall of glorious civilization,.achievement,and progressive social evolution,it is also a story of human sufferings and tragedies,sacrifices and ruthless suppressions.
The concept of martyrdom which is the transfusion of blood in the body of the society, has arisen due to these tragedies and sacrifices.


In Muslim history the essential moral message is conveyed most effectively by the martyrdom of Husain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)and his comrades in battlefield of Karbala(Iraq) some 1400 years ago.It is a peculiarity of his martyrdom that it has converted military into a moral success and spiritual victory.


By the time Husain ibn Ali assumed the supreme leadership of the group formerly led by his grandfather Holy Prophet, the power has been transferred in the hand of unjust Bani Ummayad dynasty which has opposed the peaceful message of Islam in the lifetime of Holy Prophet.


Callous Yazid had absolute power on each and every individual of his empire. He did force people to swear allegiances to him.


Opposed to his injustice and racial, tribal and dynastic imperialism stood a small but resolute group of people led by Husain ibn Ali.


In these circumstances,Husain's personality was supreme not only because he was Prophet's grandson ad son of
Fatima Zehra and Ali, but more so because he stood for human and moral values of Islam, opposed to the exploitation and oppression of under privileged and poor


To remind the people of these human values, Husain with his 71 companions and family died thirsty for three days, fighting injustice in the battlefield of Karbala, giving a strong voice to the poor and oppressed class, which is still echoing in this world.


Every year Muharram is observed across the globe by mourning to commemorate his martyrdom.
