Those people like Dr Zakir Naik and others who says that the fight
between Imam Hussain (A.S) and Yazid was for acquiring power will have
to admit (God forbid) that Hussain (A.S) did not have his belief in the
sayings of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). If this is not so, which is
factually the case, then we will have to admit that Imam Hussain (A.S)
was all set for embracing martyrdom, not power. The history of Islam is
littered with many scores of martyrdoms having their respective place in
history but the worldwide fame and importance of martyrdom of Hussain
(A.S) owes itself to the fact that those martyred were related with the
Prophet of Islam (S.A.W) through bloodline. It is not merely the
sacrifice of one individual but of many kith and kin of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W). The history cannot forget the epoch of Karbala, its details and
importance at any stage.
However, some people out of their flawed
thinking or lack of wisdom are bent upon belittling the sacrifices
rendered in Karbala by dubbing it as a political clash between two
princes aimed at acquiring power. Adopting this line of thinking is
dangerous and is an attempt at disfiguring the history of Islam. The
fact of the matter is that Karbala represented clash between the forces
of truth and falsehood.
The events of Karbala in particular and
the entire reign of Yazid in general are reflective of the fact that he
left no stone unturned to expose people to the worst forms of cruelty
and oppression who refused to hold allegiance to him. When Yazid took
over the mantle of power, his first act was to replace all experienced,
pious, noble and wise governors with those from among his relatives
having sordid conduct and questionable character. It was in this way
that the entire government was handed over to such people and the
culture of governance was changed. That is why we find that the Holy
Prophet (S.A.W) did not single out one such individual of rotten
character but branded the whole empire as representing sin and moral
decay.
