After
Imam Ali (PBUH) was assassinated by Kharijites in 661, Six months later
in 661, Imam Hassan Mojtaba (PBUH) who highly regarded for his wisdom,
the Second Imam of Shia and the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), had
to make a treaty with Mu’awiyah (from Umayyad, who made himself the
caliph by force and threat) . This treaty was on the conditions just to
keep the people safe and secure. However, Muawiyah broke the conditions
and began the Umayyad dynasty, with its capital in Damascus. This
brought to an end the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs for Muslims. On
his deathbed Mu’awiyah appointed his son Yazid to succeed him. Yazid was
oppressive, and Imam Hussain (PBUH) felt that it was his duty to
confront him, because Muslims are asked by God to stand against
oppression and fade it.
