Karbala is an important city of Iraq; it is the city where Imam Hussain RA martyred by Yazeed, who was the ruler of Iraq. Kabala ka waiqa is an important incident that left everlasting effects on Muslims.

We all know that Hazrat Zainab RA was the daughter of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. She was married to Shar-a-Khuda Hazrat Ali RA, who was the cousin of Prophet PBUH and was with him from the first day of Islam. Imam Hussain RA was the son of these two noble personalities. It means that he was also the grandson of Holy Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Hazrat Ameer Muavia RA announced his son Yazid as the next caliph of Islam, after announcing, Hazrat Muavia RA died. People wrote the letter to Imam Hussain RA about this nomination later after the death of Hazrat Ameer Muavia RA. Hazrat Imam Hussain RA came here to settle the matter between Yazid and the people, according to Prophet Muhammad PBUH and the holy Quran.

The army sent by Yazid intercepted Hazrat Imam Hussain RA and his family members. Yazid spent a lot of days in trying to console Hazrat Imam Hussain RA for his consent to make him Caliph of Islam. But, Hazrat Imam Hussain RA refused to do so at every time. Hazrat Imam Hussain received a letter from the people of Kufa announcing to support him.

Later, when Yazeed saw that Hazrat Imam Hussain RA was not going to support him in a bid to make him caliph. He employed several techniques to forcefully change his decision, such as preventing Hazrat Imam Hussain RA from accessing water from the river. It was a famous and sympathetic incident that when Hussain RA came out from his camp with Ali Asghar RA to seek water for them who was thirsty, in reply to his request, the oppressors threw an error and martyred Hazrat Ali Asghar RA.

Hazrat Imam Hussain RA had to continue his journey toward Kufa. But he received news that the people of Kufa surrendered themselves before the forces of Yazid. But, the grandson of Prophet refused to stay here.

Hazrat Imam Hussain RA stayed on the way to take rest with his family. But, shortly, after staying, he and his family were surrounded by Yazidi forces, who were behind them on the entire way. They tried to convince him and his family members to support Yazid as the caliph of Islam. Again, he refused to take such kind of decision.

At last, when 10 Muharram came, the oppressors saw that there was no chance to move Hazrat Imam Hussain from his stance, they surrounded his camp and later martyred him and his family members when they were busy in prayers.

The slogan Ya Ali Ya Hussain is a very famous slogan that use to speak many times, particularly in the days of Muharram. In fact, the purpose of this slogan is to show solidarity to the grandson of Prophet Muhammad and his father, Hazrat Ali RA.

According to Shia Muslims, Ya Ali Ya Hussain is the best way to show solidarity with these noble personalities. There are some other respectable slogans like Ya Ali Ya Hussain, which are used to show solidarity with these noble personalities, for example, Ya Hussain ibn Ali.

Hazrat Ali RA ki shahadat left a strong effect on the Muslim world. After the martyrdom of the 3rd Caliph of Islam, Hazrat Usman RA, Hazrat Ali RA, was nominated for the post of Caliph of Islam. But, some people did not agree with the decision. Hazrat Ali RA had to transfer its capital of the Islamic government from Madina to Kufa.

The slogan of Ya Hussain ibn Ali is an important slogan, according to Shia Muslims, it is the way by which the Muslim can show solidarity to Hazrat Ali RA; also the slogan of Ya Hussain Ibn Ali is one of the best ways to describe the honor of the family member of Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

We should give importance to Islam, but the question emerges before us why we should give importance to Islam? We should not take time to find the answer to that question; we should see the incident of Martyrdom of Hazrat Ali RA and Hazrat Imam Hussain RA , and learn to sacrifice from the incident of karbala . They pleasurably presented them for Islam like their forefather, for example, Hazrat Ibrahim.
