who is Hussain Ibn Ali ? ( part 1)

Hussain ibn Ali was born in 626 AD into the household of Muhammad, the final Prophet of Islam. He was the son of Prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatima, who was married to Ali ibn Abu Talib and grew up during an era of great political turmoil. 


Hussain's parents were both highly respected amongst the people for their wisdom, piety and compassion; and Ali was exceptionally known across Arabia for his bravery, integrity and leadership.

He was only 8 when his grandfather Muhammad passed away, and his subsequent years were clouded by the political turmoil and widespread corruption that affected the community.

His father Ali and mother Fatima were persecuted by those who deliberately misconstrued Muhammad’s teachings of equality for all, in favour of a return to the heavily corrupt clan system of the old days. 

The family of Muhammad were sidelined, yet Ali and Fatima responded to those who wished them harm with courtesy and goodwill. Ali was famously quoted as saying ‘Be like a flower, which gives fragrance even to the hand that crushes it.’

Through their patience in the face of adversity, Hussain’s parents instilled in him the invaluable qualities of selflessness and personal sacrifice; putting the society’s needs ahead of their own, to keep the peace and not to react to abuse or pursue personal agendas.
The next part of the information pack will look at Why Hussain ibn Ali chose to rise up, and what events led up to the uprising.
