THE KING OF MARTYRS
IMAM HUSAYN (AS)'S MIGRATION FROM MADINAH TO MAKKAH
In the history of Islam, there
is no instance when any
Infallible Imam (a.s.) had ever
attacked first on any suspected
enemy in either open encounter
or from a hiding place. The
Commander of the Faithful Imam
Ali (a.s.) never attacked an
enemy who was disarmed or unable
to defend himself. He gave clear
instructions to the Muslims in
the light of the Glorious
Qur’an, never to attack women,
children, disabled, sick or one
who run away from the
battlefield. This principle
saved the lives of Abu Sufiyan
and Muawiya who ran away from
the battlefield during their
fight against the Noble
Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.). The King
of Martyrs Imam Husayn (a.s.)
followed his grandfather and
father during the entire course
of events leading to the
greatest tragedy in human
history-Karbala. During this
period, many of his friends
offered to accompany him, the
Imam dissuaded them saying that
Yazid was after his blood.
Imam Husayn (a.s.) replied to
their appeals and told them that
he was sending his trusted
cousin Muslim bin Aqil to let
him know the real affairs in
Kufa and that the people were
unanimously petitioned that they
were without an Imam for
guidance. Further he was not
planning to come as a conqueror
but as an Imam fettered by the
chains of Divine laws to act
justly and righteously. He was
not an opportunist to empower
himself with the support of the
disgruntled and impatient
masses.
The Imam (a.s.) said, “I make it
obligatory on all of you
gathered here to repeat all what
you have heard from me now, to
your kith and kin, friends and
acquaintances, in villages,
towns and cities and wherever
you find two believers gathered
in one place.”
