THE UNIQUE VALOUR OF THE IMAM
When Hadhrat Imam Hussain (as) stood alone in the desert of Karbala in the midst of the forces of evil and corruption, before laying down his life he displayed to them his unique valour he had inherited from his father and pushed back the army, until voices of request sprang from amidst them.
One of those who fought the battle of Karbala against him says, “I have never seen a person bereaved of his son’s, menfolk, and his companions more Lion-hearted than him. The foot soldiers were scattering to his right and left like goats when a wolf comes upon them.”
It was the voice of Allah Almighty which called out to him saying,
“O Serene Soul (O soul that art at rest)! Return to your Lord, well- pleased (with Him), well-pleasing (Him), So enter among my servants, And enter into my Paradise”. - (Surah Al Fajr 27:30)
Hearing this Imam (as) sheathed his sword and bowed down his head in submission (to Allah). Seeing this, the enemies pounced upon him like hungry wolves and cut off his sacred head, while still in prostration.
Thus Imam Hussain (as) was martyred, but his concept, aim , ideology, and above all the truth prevailed.
