حضرت حسین (Hussain ibn Ali) was the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and the son of Ali and Fatimah. He is a significant figure in Islam, particularly in Shia beliefs, where he is revered as a martyr who stood against tyranny. His life is marked by his commitment to justice and truth. In 680 CE, during the battle of Karbala, he and his followers faced the forces of Yazid, the Umayyad caliph. Despite being vastly outnumbered, he refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, leading to his martyrdom. This event is commemorated annually during Ashura, symbolizing the struggle against oppression.
