James Corne (Author of History of China) –Views on Event of Karbala & Hazrat Imaam Husaien [Radiyal Laah Anhu]

Muharram

 

Hazrat Imaam Husaien [Radiyal Laah Anhu] and his companions faced eight kinds of enemies.


On the four sides the army of Yazeed was their enemy which was ceaselessly raining arrows; the fifth foe was the sun of Arabia that was scorching the bodies; the sixth foe was the desert of Karbala the sands of which were scorching like a heated furnace; the seventh and eighth foes were the overpowering hunger and the unbearable thirst. Thus, on those who fought with thousands of infidels in such conditions has ended bravado; on such a people no gallant (hero) can ever have pre-eminence.
