RNA - “Who is Hussain?” campaign was launched in 20-12 by a group of young British Muslims, aiming to inspire and contribute to the world around them, using the example of Imam Hussein.

The Grandson of the Prophet Muhammad was martyred in present-day Iraq some 14-hundred years ago. Central to the campaign is showing that the message of Imam Hussein is relevant to all, and not just Muslims.

Using social media, the organizers have started encouraging people to give back to society using Imam Hussein as an example. The hash tag “team give back” has been plastered all over London and taken the internet by storm, helping the campaign to go viral.

The message of this now-international campaign has struck a chord with thousands around the world with many Muslims and non-Muslims coming together to help those in need.
