The revolutionist whose sacrifice shook the roots of humanity
I have not come to stir emotions, to play with oppression. I want to bring the people back to the path of enjoining good and forbidding evil We have all firmly acquainted and primed ourselves with information concerning the successive uprisings undertaken by the esteemed personage we identify as revolutionists. Each humanitarian espouses a similar message that hitherto echoes within us. By studying the consecutive events in history, we learn that being docile and silent to repressive authorities is never an option, and that rebuffing the very thought of being silenced is, in itself, coming to terms with and revolutionising our inner selves. Needless to say, the tenacious need for an exhaustive Source: Unidentifiable corpus of laws and authorities to enforce them is an innate concept and the source of our enduring quest for a scrupulous, stalwart personality to guide us in our endeavours. This relentless unrest is the thrust of revolution and the purpose of dislodging any despotic regime that pays but lip service to the rule of law. While each renowned activist possesses a unique story, they all draw their inspiration from the leader of noble revolt, Imam Hussain (peace and blessings be upon him).
He was the goliath of his time and the
cream of mankinds history. Being the beloved grandson of the Messenger of Islam (peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny), Imam Hussain (p) was familiar with the peaceful teachings of Islam from a very young age. Source: Unidentifiable
His precocious character and overall
clemency and poise is manifested in the teachings he spread in his lifetime. He knew that the only means of achieving peace was by creating peace. He was, by virtue of his wisdom and benevolence, the backbone of the orphaned, the heartbroken and the downtrodden.

He was unflinching in his faith and sought
to achieve justice at every nook and corner of Arabia. Upon legions of pleas beckoning Hussain (p) to come to Kufa, Iraq and save the people over there from the crafty manoeuvres of their dissipated, tyrannical leader, Yazid, son of Muawayia (may the eternal wrath of God be upon them both), Imam Hussain (p) took it upon himself to reinstate the justice of Allah and His Messenger on this tarnished earth. The opposition was blatantly afraid and repined at this erratic decision and went to absolute extremes by rallying troops to fight Hussain (p), so they can repose on their unmerited thrones at the expense of the masses. The stoic Hussain (p) had foreseen his fate, en route to Kufa, on the soil of Karbala to be soaked in his own blood while the foes of Islam rejoiced; though this did not preclude him from leaving behind his indelible legacy. His family traversed the plains of Madina shoulder-toshoulder and had collectively borne the travail of restoring justice with Imam Hussain (p) at whatever cost.
mercy they exhibited on the battlefield
reinforce the very rules of war that soldiers, to date, abide by. Imam Hussain (p) was slain ruthlessly, although his blood did not spill in vain. Those who accompanied him endured lethal privation, with the enemies mercilessly depriving water to even the youngest of Imams kin. Notwithstanding all this, they braved sorrow with utmost valour and relentlessly sought to preserve the untainted principles of Islam. There is much to derive from the battle of Karbala. Hussain (p) teaches us that human rights take precedence over all fallible authority, and if humanity is clamped down by hirelings and merciless leaders, it is our job to speak out, even if it costs us our lives. He told us that living in humiliation is far worse than dying a freeman. Moreover, we learn that any sacrifice made to God will reach Him, and it is His appeasement we must desire. And its no wonder that after so many years, millions of people from all walks of life circumambulate his shrine every year, reciting eulogies and dirges in praise of him...

By bringing his family, Hussain (p) reveals
to us his sacrificial conscientiousness to preserve and uphold human rights, namely ones freedom to express without fear of persecution. His companions, who had come to his aid without hesitation upon hearing about the oppositions plans, had stood alongside him in his revolt. Although a paltry lot, the prowess and
