I learned from Hussain how to be wronged and be a winner.”
Assalamu Ala Al Hussain, wa Ala Ali Ibn Al Hussain, Wa Ala Awlaad Al Hussain, Wa Ala Ashaab Al Hussain (AS)
I never revolted in vain, as a
rebel or as a tyrant, but I rose seeking reformation for the nation of
my grandfather Mohammad. I intend to enjoin good and forbid evil, to
act according to the traditions of my grandfather, and my father Ali
Ibn Abi-Talib. "
(Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44, P. 329) - Imam Hussain (AS)

Imam Al Hussain (AS) in the eyes of humanity
Charles Dickens said:
"If Hussain fought to quench his worldly desires, then I do not understand why his sisters, wives and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore that he sacrificed purely for Islam."
Mahatma Gandhi, in a statement published in 'Young India,'1924 said:
“I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind.... I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of Hussain the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission to save Islam. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.

Amongst his sayings are:
- He who has you, has everything, and he who has deprived himself of you is the poorest in the world. Loser is the one who chooses and be content with anyone or anything other than you. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 98 , P. 228)
- No one will feel secured on the Resurrection Day except those who feared God in this world. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 192)
- People are slaves to the world , and as long as they live favorable and comfortable lives , they are loyal to religious principles. However , at hard times , the times of trials , true religious people are scarce. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)
- To me , death is nothing but happiness, and living under tyrants nothing but living in a hell. (Tohaf-al- Uqoul , P. 245)
- The most merciful person is the one who forgives when he is able to revenge. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 121)
- A
person asked Imam Hussain (as): " O' the son of the messenger of God,
how can we know God Almighty? " Imam replied : " By knowing and obeying
the Imam of your time. "(Biharol Anwar, Vol. 5 , P. 312)
- I
do not know companions more loyal and better than my companions
,neither do I know a household more honourable and passionate than my
household. May the Almighty rewards you for the favors you have done
me. (Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 392)
- On the day of Ashurah, when Imam Hussain (as) saw the gathering of the enemies against him which was like a torrent, he raised both his hands towards the sky and prayed, O’ my Lord ! You are my haven in every mishap, my hope in every predicament, my refuge and defender in every ordeal. How many a distress that weakens the heart, makes the enemy rejoice at the misfortune. When I entrusted it to You out of preference over others, You did not let me down and had driven away and eliminated all these distressing things. You are the Giver of every boon and the ultimate source of every wish to be granted.
