His visions towards Imam Hussain[edit | edit source]
In one of his books called “Son of Karbala”, he narrated his early life in Karbala, after the second worldwide war. In the second chapter, he explained Ashura as a great event that affected Karbala in various ways. He introduced Ashura as an event beyond military enforcement during which Imam Hussain wiped Ben Yazid’s name off the earth forever. He also mentioned one of the most famous sentences in Islam; “Every day is Ashura, Every place is Karbala”, as the must-learn lesson of Karbala for every Muslim.
