Editing Tears for Karbala (section)

=== Majlis 5: Habib Ibn Mazaahir ===
Day-by-day, the scene in Karbala’ was changing. More and more soldiers join the enemy's camp. Thousands have gathered to kill Husayn - the grandson of the Holy Prophet. Imam Husayn wrote a letter to his childhood friend, Habib Ibn Mazaahir, who was in Kufa. Kufa was blocked off and nobody was allowed to leave. Habib read the letter from Husayn. He kissed it and tears began to flow from his eyes. He escaped from Kufa toward Karbala without being seen. Habib with his slave galloped towards Karbala’. He fought bravely but was finally over-powered. He fell to the ground. As Habib Ibn Mazaahir fell to the ground, an enemy soldier came over and cut off his head. All the martyrs of Karbala’ had their heads cut off, but Habib's was the first to be cut off by the enemy.
