The event of Karbala marks the greatest sacrifice for the sake of God in the human history. The minute and stunning details of this great event have been written and survived from the very first day by the eye witnesses.
For the last fourteen hundred centuries, the battle of Karbala reflects the collision of the good versus the evil, the virtuous versus the wicked, right versus the wrong, and the collision of Imam Husain (the head of virtue) versus Yazid (the head of impiety).

Edward G. Brown, the professor of Arabic and oriental studies at the University of Cambridge, praises Imam Husain in these words:

"… a reminder of the blood-stained field of Kerbela, where the grandson of the Apostle of God fell at length, tortured by thirst and surrounded by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at anytime since then sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and heedless, the deepest emotions, the most frantic grief, and an exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger and death shrink to unconsidered trifles."
[A Literary History of Persia, London, 1919, p. 227]

This survey of the unique revolution of Imam Hussain (p.b.u.h.) is analytical
in essence. The purpose of this essay is to give a qualitative rather than
quantitative account. It has dealt with the causes, policy and results of this
eternal revolution. This is done in the hope of unveiling the startling aspects
of the revolution’s message, which is often neglected in its traditional
commemoration.

In being confronted with this event, many questions need to be answered. First,
why did this revolution take place? What were its implications and procedures?
And what were its conclusive results? The answers may provide a guiding light on
which people would formulate their judgments. Although the following account is
only a person’s viewpoint which is not necessarily the complete answer.
Nevertheless, it is based on the most popular and trustworthy authorities on the
subject.

The answers of the above questions are by no means easy, because they involve
analysis of the prevailing conditions before and after the revolution. Indeed
comprehensive answers would require volumes in order that one may be satisfied.
Not to mention the stormy and turbulent events of the time, which add
substantial difficulties in the way of objective research work.
