Hussain's Alone | Sayed Ali Alhakeem

A deeply emotional reflection on the loneliness of Imam Hussain in the final moments of Karbala, after every companion and loved one had fallen. To visually portray this feeling of isolation and resilience, we travelled to Mount Vesuvius in Italy — a lone volcano standing powerful and defiant against the horizon. Its striking presence became a symbolic backdrop for the message of Karbala. The project also blends cinematic storytelling with cutting-edge AI technology, allowing us to recreate unseen acted moments inspired by the tragedy of Karbala in a deeply moving and immersive way. A release created with emotion, symbolism, and remembrance. ------------------------------------------------------ Keep up to date on projects for the Ahlulbayt (as) Instagram -   / alialhakeem_   ------------------------------------- Poet: Sayeda Fatima Alhakeem   / ink_of_najaf   ------------------------------------- Our Production Equipment Main video camera: Sony A7iii https://amzn.to/3tvE5op Main camera lens: Sony 24-105 mm F4 Standard Zoom Lens https://amzn.to/3hGB0zy Main drone: DJI Mavic Air 2 https://amzn.to/3hqETbt Main tripod: K&F Concept Tripod https://amzn.to/3TqsX6Y Main gimbal: Zhiyun Weebill-s https://amzn.to/3Et80nu Vlog camera: GoPro Hero 10 Black https://amzn.to/3tuuf6c Vlog tripod: Joby Gorillapod https://amzn.to/3hBPUa9 Lights: Neewer Lights https://amzn.to/3Uy5wtE Microphone stand: Tiger Microphone Boom Stand https://amzn.to/3US3vZi Main editing laptop: MacBook M3 Pro 2023 18 GB Ram Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen https://amzn.to/3E2lUf5 Microphone: Samson Condensor Microphone https://amzn.to/3WRGQ17 ------------------------------------- Poetry: He was all alone His soldiers gone Hussain’s Alone No one left by your side All companions died Around your tents you stride You walk passed severed heads Armour drenched in red The air filled with dread Karbala all silent Despite the violence Despite the tyrants You bid your goodbye Tears fill your eyes You must now rise He was all alone His soldiers gone Hussain’s Alone You command your horse go His hooves don’t follow You look down below You hear a crying sound Coming from the ground In grief your heart drowns It’s Ruqaya you hear Clinging on from fear Begging please stay near The truth you do know That you must go Despite sorrow sorrow He was all alone His soldiers gone Hussain’s Alone You declare your vision Recall your mission Make your decision You clench your sword so tight Face them all with might Defending what’s right With no fear you progress At those who transgress And those who oppress Suddenly you stop On sand blood spots Your armour drops He was all alone His soldiers gone Hussain’s Alone You’re pushed onto the ground Silence is the sound On your chest he mounts Shimr holds your beard high Like showing the sky The final goodbye Angels begin to weep His dagger digs deep Blood begins to seep The world starts to fade Under his blade Left with no aid He was all alone His soldiers gone Hussain’s Alone
