Imam Hussein (AS) rose up against the tyrannical rule of Yazid who had trampled upon Islamic principles. The Imam, along with 72 of his faithful companions, was martyred in the Battle of Karbala in the year 680 A.D.

Ever since, his heroic uprising has inspired Muslims, especially Shia Muslims, and taught them the lesson of bravery, resistance, steadfastness and upholding the truth.
