Husayn Ibn Ali

Husayn Ibn Ali was an inspirational figure from the 7th century. He sacrificed his life to fight injustice. He was the grandson of prophet Mohammed and the son of the caliph Ali. He was very close to prophet Mohammed in relation.
After the death of Mu’awiyah, the caliph of Muslims at that time, his son Yazeed took the succession, but Husayn Ibn Ali refused to sign pledge of allegiance because of the corruption that Yazeed’s father made to Muslims, and because they did not follow the treaty that says after the death of Mu’awiyah, Husayn will be the caliph of Muslims. They used to distribute the donations for charity unfairly, they give the upper class and their friends most of the money, but only a little for people in need. They also used to kill anyone that does not accept to follow them. After a while, the conflict between Husayn and Yazeed grew, and every body in the Islamic countries heard about it, but no one was able to give his opinion, because they were scared of Yazeed, except for a group from Kuffa, they sent a massage to Husayn telling him that they support him and will fight against Yazeed. Husayn was happy of knowing that he has some supporters, so he sent a messenger to Kuffa to give him a report

The prophet once said, “Hassan and Husayn are the masters of young men in paradise”, which shows how close Husayn was to the prophet. The second reason that makes it very depressing was the abandon of Kuffa’s people to Husayn. They told Husayn to come and they will support him, and Husayn trusted them because he thought that every body was good by nature, but they betrayed him when he needed them because the simply they were scared of death. What everybody and I will feel when we hear the story of Husayn is extreme sadness and proud, because he represents every human in the world because all of us were born
