O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise.

It is for this reason that the sacrifice of Husain (A) is commemorated annually throughout the Muslim world. Our sorrow never abates as we relive the tragedy. As Allama Iqbal says in his Baqiyat (in Urdu):

Ronay wala hoon Shaheed-e-Kerbala key gham men main,
Kya durey maqsad na dengey Saqiye Kausar mujhey

I am one who weeps at the plight of the Martyr of Kerbala
Won't the reward be given to me by the Keeper of Kauser (Imam Ali (A))

	Obaydullah ibn Ziyad's henchmen about to throw Muslim bin Aqeel from a tower in Kufa
	Imam Hussain (A) arriving at Kerbala leading a convoy in the desert
	Imam Hussain (A) talking to people of Bani Asad tribe and negotiating purchase of Kerbala
	Imam Hussain (A) addressing the army of Omar ibn Sa'ad before fighting
	Imam Hussain (A) with 2 men accepting bayyah. Hur offering apologies and joins the camp of Imam
	Imam Hussain (A) bringing a martyr's body into the women's tents
	Battling with the enemies

	Abbas (A) on the Euphrates looking towards the fleeing army of Omar ibn Sa'ad
	Imam Hussain (A) raising the infant Ali Asgher (A) towards the unashamed army, pleading for water to which the army responded by fatal arrow
	Imam Hussain (A) bidding farewell to the ladies at the tent. Al Wida' Al Akhir (The Last Farewell)
	Imam Hussain (A) at battle
	The fallen Imam (A) awaiting the call of Allah (S)
	Zuljana returning without his master
	Women of the pure household at the feet of Zuljana who returns without the Imam (A)
	The ladies with the now masterless Zuljana weeping at the martyrdom of Imam. The women of Imam's household wailing over the total devastation in Kerbala over the past few hours
	The headless body of Imam Hussain left on the plains of Kerbala. Falling on the plains of Kerbala after battle
	Looting and Burning of the tents - Shame Ghariba (Eve of the Disposessed)
	Amidst the terror, the ladies rally around the new Imam - Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-Abedin (A)
	In chains and on foot - the women are prisoners
	Zainab (A) and Imam Ali Zayn Al Abedin (A) at the court of the despot
	Imam Ali Zayn al-Abedin (A) at the court of Yazid ibn Mua'awiyaah with the head of Imam Hussain (A) on display
	Imam Ali Zayn Ali Abedin (A) addressing Yazid in the court
	Long live the banner of Islam which was saved by the holy blood of the Martyrs in Kerbala

He gave his head to save the Head of Islam. Let us ask ourselves, What can we give and what can we sacrifice ?, To save Islam whenever it is in danger

THE BLOOD OF HUSSAYN (AS),

THE PATIENCE OF ZAYNAB(AS),
THE MASSACRE OF KERBALA,
SAVED LA-ILAHA-ILLALLAH...

Hussain Zindabaad!!!!!!!!!!

Long live the banner of Islam which was saved by the holy blood of the Martyrs in Kerbala..
