An article I wrote a number of yrs ago, about the martydom of Imam Hussain (as): He is an unarmed, powerless and lonely man. But he is still responsible for the jihad. . . He who has no arms and no means has come with all of his existence, his family, his dearest companions so that his shahadat [bearing witness to God, martyrdom] and that of his whole family will bear witness to the fact that he carried out his responsibility at a time when truth was defenceless and unarmed. . . It is in this way that the dying of a human being guarantees the life of a nation. His shahadat is a means whereby faith can remain. It bears witness to the fact that great crimes, deception, oppression and tyranny rule. It proves that truth is being denied. It reveals the existence of values which are destroyed and forgotten. It is a red protest against a black sovereignty. It is a shout of anger in the silence which has cut off tongues - Dr Ali Shariati https://facebook/notes/adnan-khalil/imam-hussain-as-the-ultimate-sacrifice/184857798196067
