Part 7 : who is imam hussain ?
The text from : www.islampfr.com
Imam
Hussain (PBUH) left Medina with his sisters, daughters, sons, brothers,
and the sons of Imam Hassan (PBUH) and the companions for Hajj. He took
a side road to Mecca to avoid being pursued, and once in Mecca Imam
Hussain (PBUH) stayed in the house of ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib and
remained there for four months.
In Mecca Abd Allah Ibn al-Zubayr,
Abdullah Ibn Omar and Abdullah Ibn Abbas asked Imam Hussain (PBUH) to
make Mecca his base and fight against Yazid from Mecca. Imam Hussain
(PBUH) opposed Yazid and declared that Umayyad rule was not only
oppressive, but also religiously misguided. The integrity and survival
of the Islamic community depended on the re-establishment of the correct
guidance. Imam Hussain (PBUH) also knew that the succession of Yazid
was an attempt to establish an illegitimate hereditary dynasty.
On
the other hand, The religious attitudes of the Umayyad caused the
people of Kufa finally believe that leadership of the Muslim community
belonged to the infallibles from descendants of the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH), so, by sending thousands letters to Imam Hussain (PBUH), they
asked him to join them, come to Kufa and help them to be released from
cruel rulers.
