Story of Karbala
Battle of Karbala, October 10th 680( 10th Moharram AH 61) was a battle between hazrat imam Hussain bin Ali, (grand son of Hazrat Mohammad )with a small party and an army sent by the Umayyad caliph yazeed 1 bin Moaawiya.
In this battle, hazrat Imam Hussain (RA)with his family was martyred and this incident among Shia Muslims( followers of Hussain) , the 10th of Moharram, Ashura, became an annual holy day of mourning.
Causes of Karbala
Hazrat imam Hussain refused to commit yazeed
Instead, hazrat Imam Hussain, ibn e Zubair, Abdullah bin Abbas, Abdullah bin Zubair and Abdurrahman, all the Muslim world accepted Yazed's reign.
When we see the basic causes of the Karbala battle, the main reason is the selection of Yazed and his reign. Remember that he was hereditally elected.
Before hazrat Mo’awiya, the foundation of the Islamic state was on democracy, not on heriditty elections.
Rasool Allah and the fourth caliphs of Islam were its golden example.
But Ameer Mo’awiya, against this norm, selected Yazed, his son, as the next throne of the empire after his death.
Due to this, the foundation of Islam collapsed.
In Islam there was no concept of dictatorship.
At that time, companions of Hazrat Mohammad(peace be upon him) the last prophet of Allah were alive. They were trained by Hazrat Mohammad. They couldn’t see this and for them it was impossible to accept dictatorship, so Hazrat imam Hussain (RA)took a stand against this for the sake of the dean. So he refused to follow.
Character of Yazeed
Yazeed was an irresponsible and materialistic man. (As we had said about him in article, link is here ,
Persistence to commitment
As Yazed accomplished his government , he sent a mandatory order to receive a commitment from hazrat Imam Hussain and Ibn e Zubair. He knew the dangers, so he consulted with Marwan bin Hukam. He gave an opinion to take agreement from them urgently,
"If they refused to kill them, if they heard the news of Mo’awiya's death, every one of them would claim a caliphate. Then we will face more difficulties"
Hence, Waleed bin Marwan was called hazrat Imam Hussain and Ibn e Zubair. Yet then the news of Mo’awiya's death had not reached Madina. But both of them had understood the meaning of order. So they went to Waleed. First, he gave them news of Mo'Aya's death and told them Yazeed’s order.
Hazrat Imam Hussain said ,
“I can follow Yazed's reign in this way silently and it didn’t suit a person like me to commit hiding. When you call the rest of the people, then I will come.”
Waleed was naturally a good person. He agreed and went back.
Hazrat Hussain and hazrat Ibn e Zubair left Madina (the city of Saudi Arabia) that night and sheltered in Haram.
ON the other hand, Marwan scolded Waleed about why he left them without allegiance.
Now you can not power over them till qiamah. He said in reply,
" I can not tinct my hand with the blood of Hussain".
