We are the Household of the Prophethood, the source of Messengership, the descending place of angels; through us Allah has begun (His favours), and with us He has perfected (His blessings); whereas Yazid is a sinful man, a drunkard, killer of innocent people, and one who openly indulges in sinful acts. A person like me can never pay allegiance to a person like him.

There is a universal appeal in this martyrdom. Hazrat Imam Hussain (as) sacrificed his all, but he refused to submit to a tyrannical government…The power of faith to him, is the greatest force, which regards all material force as nothing. This sacrifice is a beacon light of guidance for every community and every nation.

Is this the custom of justice that you sit your women-folk and maids behind veils, while you captivate and parade the daughters of the Prophet of Allah (pbuh)?
