14 Ramzan Martyrdom of Hazrat Mukhtar e Saqafi ____Detail:: Musab formed a big army and headed for Kufa. He took Mukhtar by surprise. Ibraheem al- Ashtar was in Mousal City. Mukhtar faced Bin al- Zubair with his small army. Musabs army followed Mukhtar to Kufa. It besieged his palace. The siege went on for four months. Mukhtar tried to raise the siege. He ordered the Kufians to make street clashes. But they disobeyed him. On 14th Ramadan, Mukhtar decided to leave his palace. He said to his companions: “The siege will weaken us more and more! Lets go out and die martyrs.” Only seventeen persons obeyed Mukhtar. “Think not of those who were slain in the cause of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance with their Lord (Surah ale- Imran, 3:169)“. References: · Mukhtar al-Thaqafi by Kamal al-Syyed ·
