Thomas Carlyle (Scottish historian and essayist)“The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!” Charles Dickens (English novelist)“If Husain had fought to quench his worldly desires…then I do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam.” Sir William Muir (Scottish orientalist)“The tragedy of Karbala decided not only the fate of the Caliphate, but also of Mohammadan kingdoms long after the Caliphate had waned and is appeared.” (Annals of the Early Caliphate, London, 1883, p.441-442) Antoine Bara (Lebanese writer)“No battle in themodern and past history of mankind has earned more sympathy and admiration as well as provided more lessons than the martyrdomof Husayn in the battle of Karbala.” (Husayn in Christian Ideology) Josh Malihabadi (Shaayar-e-Inqilaab or The Revolutionary Poet)“Insaan ko bedaar to ho lene do,har qaum pukaraygi hamare hain Hussain”(Let humanity awakens and every tribe will claim Hussain as their own.) Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar (Pioneer of the Khilafat Movement and a dauntless fighter in the struggle of independence)“Qatl-e-Hussain asl main marg-e-Yazid hai,Islam zindaa hota hai har Karbala ke baad”(In the murder of Hussain, lies the death of Yazid, for Islam resurrects after every Karbala).
