He was not an ordinary human being.
His name was Hussein.(Hossain)(hosayn)
Hussein was the grandson of Muslims" holy prophet Muhammad.
He stood up against oppressors and he is a role model for Muslims in sacrifice, freedom, liberty and resistance
We call him imam, imam means leader and rector.
In year 61 AH (a way of calculating year based on the position of the moon), Imam Hussein along with his wife, children and siblings went to Iraq from Arabia, in order to respond to Iraqi"s request;
More than 4000 Iraqi wrote a letter to Imam Hussein and asked him to come to Iraq and rescue them from cruelness and injustice of their king "yazid" and bring justice, goodness and beauty.
Yazid was a cruel leader and he took peoples" property by force and represented Islam in an unrealistic and cruel way.
Actually he does not know anything of real Islam and do whatever he like to do and whatever benefits him.
He had broken a lot of absolute law in Islam himself!! So Iraqis asked for help, and Imam Hussein answered them by coming to Iraq.
Yazid prevented Iraqis to join Imam Hussein by force and threat.
On the other hand he prevented Imam Hussein to inter in capital city of Iraq so imam had to stay in a midway land called "Karbala".
In Karbala, cruel yazid along with ten thousands soldier and military man stood against him and ordered his army to start a war with Imam Hussein.
Imam and his wife and his children and siblings with his companions were only 72 people!!
One side an army with 72 soldiers and on the other side thousands of soldiers!!
But cruelness did not stop here; they surrounded the river and did not let Hussein"s companions even the children and women to drink water!!
After a few day of surrounding and not drinking even a drop of water in a hot desert, all Hussein"s companions were desperately thirsty and weak, they cannot do anything but tolerating the situation they"ve trapped in.
That was not a fair war.
Yazid told Imam Hussein, if you want me to stop killing you and not imprisoned your family, you should accept my leadership and accept all my deeds and unite with me!! (Consider this fact that Imam Hussein is the Prophet Muhammad"s grandson and yazid had been violating most of Islamic laws purposely, so there is no way Imam Hussein accept yazid"s conditions!!).
So Hussein obviously did not accept his offer and told him that "dying with dignity is way better that living with dishonor".
After this yazid (god never forgive him) attacked Imam Hussein and his few companions with his huge army.
Every single person in imam"s side was killed one by one.
One of imam"s son who was named" ali akbar" started fighting back and killed some of the enemies, but a lot of yazid"s army attacked him and tore apart his body and cut off his head!!
All imams" companion was killed and their head were cut off while they were thirsty so bad.
After ali akbar, imam"s nephew "ghasem" went to battle field.
He was only 13 years old but he fought like a brave fighting man.
Ghasem killed 3 soldiers of enemy but then they killed him and they throw stone at him and then they cut his head off!!
The last brother of imam wanted to go to the battle field but youngest daughter of imam asked him to bring water because they were so thirsty that they cannot tolerate.
Imam"s brother was "abbas", he was a strong and brave fighter.
All the yazid army scared of him and ran away when they hear his name.
abbas founded a way to the river to bring water for innocent children.
When he arrived near the river all the enemy soldier ran away.
Abbas took water and guide his horse toward kids but enemy soldier shoot arrow at him to stop him.
They cut his right hand off first, abbas took the water with his left hand and continue his way but enemy cut his left hand too.
He had no hand to take the water so he took it with his teeth and ran toward kids to give them the water but enemy shoot an arrow to his eye and one to his water container.
The arrow tore the water container and all the water wasted.
Abbas fell off his horse and hit the ground with his face.
Enemy smashed his head with an iron hammer.
Abbas could not give the water to the children and was killed.
All imams" companions were killed and there were no one left
Imam had a six month old son, "ali asghar"
The infant could not cry due to thirstiness.
Imam showed him to the enemy army and said "this innocent six month old infant is dying, givesome water only to him", but suddenly an arrow shoot to the infant"s throat and cut his head off.
Imam got so sad and buried the infant there.
Then imam said goodbye to his wife and children and sisters.
Everyone was crying, but imam had to go to the battle field.
Without any other help, no kid, no brother, and no army, he attacked the enemy.
He killed some cruel soldier but enemy shoot arrow toward him and imam fell off his horse and they cut his head too.
But they did not stop they unforgiving actions, they ran across his dead body with horses.
After this, yazid gave an order to attack the women and children and imprisoned them.
Imam Hussein is our third imam.
He sacrificed himself for preventing Islam to be destroyed.
Yazid presented Islam wrongly, in a furious way, so imam was against him.
Imam Hussein is the symbol of freedom and liberty, he accept dying instead of uniting with the oppressors.
Nowadays, isis (Islamic!!!! state of Iraq and Syria) like yazid, shows a cruel and wild presentation of Islam that is completely wrong, and they kill imam Hussein"s admirer and cut their heads off.

Imam Hussain made no doubt of his intentions to fight the regime of the Umayyads.
امام حسین علیه السلام در مورد تصمیمش برای مبارزه با بنی امیه هیچ شکی نکرد
The speeches he delivered at Mecca were consistent.
سخنرانی هائی که ایشان در مکه کردند همه در یک جهت بود
Besides, the will which he entrusted to his brother Mohammad ibn Al-Hanafia who remained at Madina
بعلاوه ایشان به برادرشان محمد حنفیه وصیت کردند تا در مکه بمانند
That will, in fact, was a declaration of the revolution
آن وصیت در واقع اعلان انقلاب بود
He (p.b.u.h.). Wrote,“I am not campaigning for unwillingness to accept righteousness, or having intent to do mischief and suppress people"
امام علیه السلام در نامه? خود نوشتند "من برای سرکشی و خوشگذرانی و فساد و ستم قیام نمیکنم "
Indeed, I have decided to reform my grandfather’s nation
در واقع من تصمیم گرفته ام که دین جدم رسول الله را دوباره احیاء کنم
I want to enjoin what is right and forbid dishonor
من بخاطر امر بمعروف و نهی از منکر قیام میکنم
People who accept my call for being right, and then God is the Master of righteous people
پس هر کس از من پیروی کند از امر خدا پیروی کرده است چرا که خداوند بر حق است
Those who reject my call, and then I shall be steadfast till God passes His Judgment
و هر کس مرا اجابت نکند من صبر میکنم و حوالتش را به خداوند میدهم
Indeed, God is the best Judge
چرا که بدرستی خداوند بهترین قضاوت کنندگان است

Imam Hussein went to Mecca and stayed there for four months. He visited different groups and wrote a lot of letters to Kufa, Basra, and to individuals. He went on apilgrimageto Kaba and he visited the tombs of diseased predecessors; he went to the Aboutalib Cemetery and visited the graves of his great grandfather, Aboutaleb (A.S), and his great grandmother, Khadijeh (SA). He said his prayers right there.
When he learnt about the plots of his enemies, who were trying to kill him, he decided to leave Mecca as a sign of his respect to Kaba. This is the most beautiful respect one could have for the House of God. Imam Hussein did not want to do what Abdullah bin Zubayr did; he took refuge in Kaba, and doing this, he actually disrespected the holy place.
Hussein bin Ali (A.S) treated Abdullah bin Zubayr respectfully and told the people, “Ibn Zubayr wants me to take refuge in the holy shrine, but I would rather be far from the House of God in the time of death. I would rather die next to the Euphrates, than in Kaba.”
It is also said that Abdullah bin Zubayr told Imam Hussein (A.S) to stay in Mecca and to take refuge in Kaba. Imam Hussein answered, “This is not a right thing to do. I do not think that I should do that. I would rather get killed in the desert than in Mecca.”
With all the respect Imam Hussein accorded to Kaba, he left it, tears in his eyes.

Hussain - the Universalist
Hussain (4-62 AH. - 614 AD.) was the youngest son of Ali (A.D. 600-661) by Prophet Mohammed"s daughter Fatimah. Ali was the first caliph of islam When Yazid, son of Muawiyah, became Caliph he demanded allegiance from Hussain. He refused because of Yazid"s wayward ways. Ultimately he had to confront Yazid. It had to be done, to preclude any further deterioration and eventual disintegration of Islam. He had to clear up the damage -the transgression of Islamic values, the frivolous social behaviour, in the name of Islam - the sickening dashing of dreams about future glories of Islam. Hussain had no illusions about the extent of that damage. Was it to ask too much of Hussain to take the responsibility? Certainly not. He as the Prophet"s grandson had to do his duty. But there was no easy option for him. He had to bear the brunt. When a situation of this kind arose, a very heavy burden fell on Hussain.
Atonality from Yazid"s degenerated symphony
Little wonder that Hussain"s patience snapped when the Caliph firmly demanded allegiance. He realised that the consequences of this prolonged anarchy in Islam and a shattering triumph for immorality would permanently deface and disfigure the true faith and a pseudo-religion would emerge under the guise of Islam. Blasphemy would be practised till it dulled the senses and mob psychology took over. Religion would be compromised and its long term effects disregarded.
But for the men behind Islam, with their eyes on the future, this was not to be tolerated at any cost. They had to act before it was too late to halt or reverse the inexorable decline.
Hussain intensified his campaign. He was determined to accomplish his mission by means more vigorous than had hitherto been used. He deserves full credit for the exemplary courage and aplomb with which he handled the ugly situation. He did not resort to aggression yet firmly resisted Yazid"s bluster.
Can man stand up to these conditions? When the scene moved to the battle-field of Kerbala, Hussain managed to say daringly: "Man can - but not necessarily with ease He, and a small group of followers including his immediate family were mercilessly massacred. The day of this tragedy is universally commemorated every year and is called "Ashura" (10th Muharram, Islamic calendar) and is marked by processions and mourning. It is observed as a national in holiday certain countries.
Hussain is buried in Kerbala (Iraq). His holy shrine is visited by millions of people, from all over the world, as a mark of veneration.
It is in the very nature of great reformers that they belong to everybody, everywhere. Hussain"s noble deed is so relevant to the entire human race, that I am sure there is a far bigger audience waiting for him somewhere than the one he has already. All that is required is to draw people"s attention.
The contemporary society, irrespective of race and religion, would do well to have a closer look at the Hero of Kerbala as his message transcends the barriers of caste and creed, race and religion. Advocates of human rights, sociologists, reformers, theologians, all included, will find "delightful wisdom, sweet instructions, and a meaning suited to their mind", in his story. His message is certainly not an exclusive preserve of any particular group. It embraces the entire human race. It was not a power struggle. Hussain persistently and explicitly expounded: "what matters to me is to "correct", not conquer" - an affirmation that he would die in the firm belief that a despot"s idiosyncrasies could never be an effective instrument of religious policies.
