Remembering 10th Muharram

On 10th of Muharram, 61 Hijrah, Imam Husain (AS), the last remaining grandson of the prophet SAW, son of Imam Ali (AS) and Fatimah, the beloved daughter of the prophet SAW, was brutally killed by the soldiers of Yazid Ibn Muawiyah and the Umayyads. The land of Karbala bear witness to this tragedy. Imam Hussain had revolted against oppression and injustice by Yazid, who was then the Amir al Mukminin.
Unfortunately, not many are aware of this tragedy. On the other hand, we remember 10th Muharram as the day of Ashura, a day to be rejoice, a day for blessing and graces. What a contrast!
