Product Description
Few events in Islamic history have pierced the heart of the Muslim world as deeply as the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali at Karbala. It highlights the unshakeable bravery of the Prophet’s grandson, who stood against tyranny and chose death over humiliation, unwilling to lend legitimacy to falsehood at the cost of truth, honour, and faith.
The author, Dr Alawi bin Hamid, a Professor of Hadith at the University of Seiyun, draws exclusively on the recognised authorities of Ahl al-Sunnah: Ibn Kathir, al-Baladhuri, al-Dhahabi, Ibn al-Athir, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Ibn al-Jawzi, and many others. He lays out The Events of Karbala in a way that the historical record speaks for itself.
A valuable resource for teaching and educating the next generation.
Inside, you will find:
The immense virtue and rank of Imam al-Husayn, raised in the very house of revelation
How the caliphate was quietly transformed into hereditary rule
The letters from Kufa that summoned the Imam and the betrayal that followed
The courage and sacrifice of Muslim ibn Aqil
The final journey of the Prophet’s household toward Karbala
The terrible scenes of the martyrdom of Husayn and his loyal companions
The aftermath: the captives marched through the lands, the grief of the scholars, and the fate of those who shed his blood
The poetry of Imam al-Shafi‘i and Imam al-Busiri in mourning the tragedy of Karbala
