Why Did Imam Hussain (a.s.) Revolt? - Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini || 10th Muharram 2018

Its extremely difficult to comprehend that the grandson of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was brutally massacred in the desert of Karbala by a group claiming to be Muslims, only 50 years after the death of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). In this informative discussion, Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini provides some historic context to explain the reasons behind Imam Hussain's revolution against the tyranny of Yazid, which ultimately led to the tragedy of Karbala. Within the discussion, we learn that Imam Hussain (a.s.) was a manifestation of every noble trait in this confrontation, standing courageously against a regime of falsehood, aggression and corruption. We also reflect on how performing prayers might not be a deterrent against evil if its performed as a routine-based exercise without reflection, just like the troop of Yazid practiced it. Dr. Sayed Moustafa also sheds some light on the integral role played by Sayeda Zainab (a.s.) as the primary media outlet that introduced the message of Karbala to the world, were it is now commemorated globally and eternally by the entirety of humanity. ____________________________________________ Verse of Discussion: "Among the believers are men who were true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow (by martyrdom), and some are still awaiting and they have not changed in the least" - Surah al-Ahzab, Verse 23 Al-Rasoul Islamic Society || Night 10 - The Holy Month of Muharram 2018
