\n———————————–
\nAWAZ The Voice, an online journal operating in various languages, recently published an article penned by Eman Sakina on the significance of the character of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and the sacrifice he made to save Islam from total annihilation. <\/p>\n
It notes that the sacrifice of Imam Husain ibn Ali (peace be upon them both), the revered grandson of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his pure family), stands as one of the most pivotal events in Islamic history, safeguarding the faith\u2019s core values and principles.<\/p>\n
The author highlights that Imam Husain\u2019s martyrdom (peace be upon him) at Karbala in 680 CE was not merely a familial tragedy but a profound act to preserve true Islam. At a time when the Umayyad dynasty, under Yazid ibn Muawiya (may the eternal curse of Allah be upon them both), threatened to distort Islamic teachings through tyranny and corruption, Imam Husain (peace be upon him) courageously refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, famously stating, \u201cA man like me does not pledge allegiance to a man like Yazid.\u201d<\/p>\n
He adds that, despite overwhelming odds, Imam Husain (peace be upon him) and his small group of followers stood firm in Karbala, resisting oppression and defending justice. His martyrdom ignited widespread moral awakening across the Muslim world, inspiring movements against tyranny and reinforcing the spiritual and ethical legacy of the Prophet.<\/p>\n
The writer also states that Imam Husain\u2019s stand (peace be upon him) symbolizes unwavering resistance to injustice, the preservation of Islamic values, and empowerment of the oppressed. His sacrifice continues to inspire Muslims globally to uphold truth and justice.<\/p>\n
As Eman Sakina concludes, \u201cIslam remains alive because of Husain\u2019s martyrdom,\u201d underscoring the enduring impact of his noble sacrifice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
