Edward G. Brown Views on Karbala & Hazrat Imaam Husaien [Radiyal Laah Anhu]

 

 

 

 

A reminder of that blood-stained field of Karbala, where the grandson of the Holy Prophet of God fell, at length, tortured by thirst...

and surround by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at any time since then, sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and the heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic grief, and an exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger, and death shrink to unconsidered trifles.
