This text presents a detailed account of Imam Husayn’s journey from Medina to Karbala, highlighting his refusal to submit to tyranny and his call to uphold justice. It follows his movement through Mecca and his correspondence with the people of Kufa, alongside meetings with key individuals who tried to advise, threaten, or support him. The events at Karbala are presented across multiple chapters, focusing on the siege, the thirst, the final night, and the martyrdoms of his family and companions, one by one.

The aftermath is covered with equal detail. It describes the looting of the camp, the burning of tents, and the violent capture of women and children. The survivors’ forced journey to Kufa and then to Damascus is shown through their suffering and public humiliation. Their speeches and confrontations with the rulers of the time are recorded as acts of resistance. This structure gives clear attention to each phase of the tragedy, with historical precision and a focus on those who stood by Imam Husayn to the end.
