The most painful moments of human history. It is difficult to listen to and relate the incidents which occurred on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura) in the land of Karbala. Imam Husayn (A), the grandson of the Holy Prophet (S), was brutally slaughtered like a sheep under the open skies by despicable individuals. This series is based on the authentic sources and Maqtals from Lahoof. “Muharram is such a month that the Arabs of the age of ignorance (pre-Islamic) too respected its sanctity and forbade oppression and blood-shed in it. But these people (the Umayyads) did not honor the sanctity of this month nor of their Prophet. In this month, they killed the son of the Prophet and imprisoned the women-folk after looting and plundering their belongings, verily Allah will never ever forgive this crime of theirs.”… -Imam Ridha (A) Nafasul Mahmum, Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi Ch. 2 Tradition n.1 (Relating to the heart rending tragedy of Karbala) Courtesy Islamic Pulse
