His Eminence pointed out that the fulfillment of other obligations are related to the commandment to enjoin the good and to forbid the wrong and said, “A degree of enjoining the good and to forbidding the wrong is sacrifice and selflessness and the conditions of society had reached this level during the time of Imam al-Husayn.”

Hujjat al-Islam Nazari-Monfared stated that one of the most courageous people are those who overcome their own passions and said, “Hurr ibn Yazid saw himself between heaven and hell and chose heaven.”
