On the other hand, from where Islam emerged, there was a period of a ruler named Mu’awiya in ‘Sham,’ some distance from Madina. After the death of Mu’awiya, Yazid, the royal heir, in which all the demerits were present, sat on the throne of the evening. Yazid wanted Imam Hussain to confirm his seance on the throne as he is a member of Mohammad and has a good influence on the people there.
The house of Hazrat Mohammed refused to consider Yazid as the Islamic ruler because there was no value of Islamic values for Yazid. Apart from refusing to obey Yazid, he also decided to leave the city of his maternal grandfather Hazrat Mohammad Saheb, Medina, so that peace would remain.
This is how the war broke out.
Imam Hussain was leaving Medina forever with family, along with some loved ones, moving towards Iraq. But Yazid’s army surrounded his convoy near Karbala. Yazid placed conditions before him, which Imam Hussain flatly refused to accept. Instead of not accepting the situation, Yazid spoke of war.
While talking to Yazid, Imam Hussain stayed in the path of Iraq with his convoy by putting up a tent on the banks of the river Furat. But the Yazidi army ordered the tents of Imam Hussain to be removed from the river Furat and did not even allow them to take water from the river.
This is how the war started.
The Imam did not intend to fight because only 72 people were involved in his convoy. His six-month-old son included his sister-daughters, wife, and small children. This date was a Muharram, and it was summertime. It may be noted that even today in Iraq (summer), the average temperature during the day is more than 50 degrees.
By the 7th Muharram, the amount of food and water that Imam Hussain had was finished. Imam kept on working with patience, avoiding the war. Imam Hussain and his family died from thirst and starvation from 7 to 10 Muharram days.
Day 9, on the night of Moharram, Hussain extinguished the lights and said, ‘Yazid’s army is large, and he has more weapons than the whole. It is difficult to escape in such a situation. I acknowledge you to leave here. I do not mind. After some time, the lights were lit, and all the companions were sitting there—no one left except Hussain.
On the 10th Muharram, the war started in the army of Imam Hussain and Yazid. All the companions of Hazrat Imam Hussain were martyred one by one. After the prayer of Imam Hussain Asr (noon), he fought with Yazid’s army, but Hazrat Imam Hussain alone died fighting.

This incident of Karbala is a sacrifice made by the house of Hazrat Mohammad for the protection of Islam. After killing Imam Hussain and his male companions and family members, Yazid ordered the arrest of the women of Hazrat Imam Hussain’s family.
After the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain
Describing himself as the victor, Yazid told those watching Hussain’s stolen convoy that this fate was due to those who went against Yazid’s rule. Yazid committed extreme crimes against the women of Mohammad’s house. They kept him in prison, where Husain’s innocent child Sakina died in jail.
