Three Main Factors in Imam
Husayn's Movement
1.
1.This
movement was aiming at preserving reality, equality, and
justice, therefore it will remain for good, and people love and
respect it.
2. 2.Imam
Husayn had started his movement through a great visionary and it
took laymen years to understand him and his great work. People
did not recognize Husayn and were not able to realize his great
role in Muslim world when he was among them. It was only after
his martyrdom that they came to know about the reality into some
extent. The rebellious movement and revolts by Tawabin, Mukhtar
b.Abi. Ubayd al-Thaqafi, Abd Allah, b Hanzala al-Ansari were
reactions after Imam Husayn.
The life
style Yazid employed was not in line with those of the prophet
and Ali (A.) who were humble and modest. In Yazid’s time people
visited a 33-year old man, playing with monkey and enjoying a
full lechery and leisurely life, whose visiting required a lot
of time and energy. People in Medina and other places of the
country were not aware of what was going on in Damascus. It was
right after Imam Husayn’s martyrdom by Yazid that people began
investigations about Yazid’s system: Medina elits sent a
delegation under the supervision of Abd Allah Hanzala to
Damascus. He came back to Medina being much too upset reporting
“Yazid is not qualified for the position since he doesn’t obey
Islamic traditions, drinks a lot, adulterates and even he does
incest”.
He began a revolt against Yazid and was killed accompanied with
his 8 sons.
3.Imam
Husayn’s movement was a great light in darkness.
It was breaking the absolute silence in a suffocating and
stagnating situation.
