A Study on Imam Hussein`s Movement: Difference between revisions

=== CHAPTER FIVE: HUSSEIN'S IDEOLOGY ===

At the beginning of chapter four, it was stated that Hussein's movement has two practical and ideological aspects. The practical aspect was fighting against the Omayyad government, encouraging and guiding Muslims revolutionarily to rise up against the Omayyad government and annihilate their kingdom. The ideological aspect that is more important than the practical one refers to lessons people learnt from the Karbala event. Hussein introduced Islam as sacrificing in the way of defending truth and justice and fighting against corrupt and tyrant powers. This teaching is the greatest model of immortality to Muslims and glorious men forever. In the current chapter, the ideological aspect of Hussein's movement is discussed more comprehensively although it was briefly pointed to in the previous chapter.
