Muharram Commemoration in Raipur, Jan. 2008

Imam Husain, the Defender of Truth

The story of Imam Husain is that of victory of good over evil. Imam Husain was the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. He was the spiritual leader of the Islamic nation of his time. Yazid declared himself the ruler of the Islamic nation & gained power and support with a combination of evil acts and demanded Imam Husain to submit to him or be killed. Imam Husain's reply was that Yazid was an imposter and that Good can not submit to evil. Imam and his family members and supporters were surrounded by Yezid's army and they were denied food and water for 3 days. They were attacked by an army of 70K soldiers whereas Imam's supporters included elderly, teens, children and an infant 6 month old totaling about 72. They defended themselves and fought bravely till their last breath.
