What is the Tragedy of Karbala?
The Tragedy of Karbala is about one man, Hussain, who stood against oppression and sacrificed his life and the lives of his companions, his loved ones, his family, his children, including his 6-month-old baby, in the fight against injustice.
No man's death in the history of mankind has been commemorated for as long as 14 centuries, year after year, in the same way as Hussain's death. The message of Hussain at the battle Karbala is universal and applies to every day and age.
Come and find out more about this great man and this great tragedy in history. In the words of beloved saint-poet of the Indo-Pak subcontinent, Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti (of Ajmir): "Indeed Hussain is the architect of 'Laa Ilaaha Illallah' both are reciprocally related to each other."
SHAH AST HUSSAIN BADSHAH AST HUSSAIN
DEEN AST HUSSAIN DEEN PANAH AST HUSSAIN
SURDAD, NADAD DUST DUR DASTE YAZID
HAQQA KE BENAYE LA ILAH AST HUSSAIN
Hussain is the king, indeed he is the king of kings
Hussain is Deen and also the protector of Deen
He gave his head but not his hand of allegiance in the hand of Yazid
Indeed he was the founder (Like his grandfather) of the concept of One God
