MUSLIM BIN AQEEL AND HURR

previous episode

The news of Yazeed's misdeeds were reaching far and wide. The more Muslims came to know of his every-day life the more disgusted they became. However, the fear of the Syrian army kept them from taking any action. There were groups of people who wanted somebody to rise up against Yazeed and bring back the golden age of the Prophet of Islam. There was no one better suited for this than the Prophet's own grandson Husayn. The people of Koofa, a garrison town in Iraq near the Iranian border, was rife with this feeling. Mostly because Ali, the fourth Khaleefa and Husayn's father, had made Koofa his capital. Koofans remembered the just and puri-tan rule of Ali. Naturally, they were inclined to the son of their previous leader.

At the same time the people of Koofa had been suffering at the hands of the Syrian terrorists, organized and paid by Muawiyah during his reign, only because they were the followers of Ali. In this background, the tribal leaders in Koofa started sending letters to Husayn in Madinah that he should come and take charge of the people of Koofa and restore a just and peaceful society, and that they were willing to fight against the Syrians. Husayn received several thousand of these letters.

MUSLIM BIN AQEEL AND HURR

previous episode

During his stay in Makkah, close to the days of Hajj, Husayn got wind of profe-ssional killers being sent for him in the dis-guise of pilgrims to Makkah. He immediately left Makkah, for two reasons.

• He knew at the meeting with Waleed that there was no way he was going to escape death in the near future, because he was never going to swear allegiance to Yazeed. He also knew that those hired killers had no scruples and they would not respect the sanctity of Makkah (where even the killing of a pest is not allowed). Therefore, he decided to choose a place for himself.
• He wanted to make his death as public as possible, so that he could leave a legacy of sacrifice and martyrdom for all time to come. Husayn wanted to bring about a revolution in human philosophical thought by his martyr-dom.
