Nafas al-mahmūm: Difference between revisions

The importance of the material presented in a part seems to be a reason for the author to place an independent headline for that chapter. Because the sixteenth to twenty-second parts of the second chapter, which include the most critical moments in the Karbala uprising and a detailed description of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his companions, all have main and even sub-headlines.
