How the prophets' community killed Imam Husayn
 (the grandson of the prophet).

The Ashura disastrous event took place 50 years after the prophet's death. It was done by the people who were the followers of the prophet and his tradition; those who had lived with Ali(A.S) and the prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.M); the very people who knew him well. For sure, they were not rejecting Islam, nor they denied Imam Husayn; and surely they believed that Imam Husayn was superior to Yazid. The question is "why and how Umayyad Family took the throne and became caliph?" Abu sufyan, the head of this family, had resisted the prophet and Islam for a long Time, and Muawiya, his son became the governor of "Sham" (Damascus in Syria) 30 years after the prophet's death! He was the caliph for 20 years; in reality he was confronting Islam in those 20 years. The very shallow Muslems killed Imam Husayn through they loved prophet's family and even Imam Husayn. The reason might lie in the fact that these people were firstly under the pressure of a horrorfull and terrifying condition; the situation created by Ibn. Ziyad and others had forced people not think properly and decide consciously. The second reason was " Money"; what people were seeking for; It was easy for Yazid to buy these people, and the third important reason was the weakness of faith towards God in those people. Those people were so weak that they were not able to resist the temptations and hence behaved against Al-Husayn.

To sum we can conclude that Husayn (A.) refused to recognize Yazid as caliph and head of Muslims because Islam was altered by Yazid and the like. The same reasons which caused the prophet to start his rising (movement) in Mecca were present when Husayn(A.)started his movement
