The famous Indian Sufi saint, Khawaja Muinuddin Chisti commemorated Imam Hussain’s sacrifice of self and family in the battle of Karbala with the following verse: Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain Deen ast Hussain, Deen Panah ast Hussain Sardad na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed, Haqaa key bina e La ila ast Hussain Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain, Faith is Hussain, guardian of faith is Hussain, Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid. ‘Indeed, Hussain is the foundation of La-ilah (thedeclaration that none but God is absolute and almighty) almighty Hussain Ibne Ali, (grandson of the Prophet Mohammed pbuh , son of Ali ibne Abu Talib and Fatima binte Mohammed pbuh) sacrificed himself and his family, friends, including his six month old son rather than give an oath of allegiance to the Ummayyad ruler, Yezid, who being impious would have put the survival of Islam in danger. He refused to bow down before tyranny and oppression. His fight was for truth against injustice and he did it by showing that those who have right on their side can face any numerical superiority or force, with faith and dignity.
