    Description

    The main reason the massacre of Ashura took place is because the likes of Yazid were in power. The question that arises is, how was it that such an individual, who was from the Bani Umayyah, was sitting in the place of the prophet (s) as caliph? Hadn’t the prophet (s) warned the Muslim nation that the Bani Umayyah are to never rule over the Muslims? What happened and what went wrong?

    History is all about turning points; events changing the course of things and directing them in other directions. These turning points do not take place overnight and usually, if not always, have deep roots that have grown over time and in effect of certain circumstances. Without a doubt, one of the greatest turning points of Islamic history is the tragedy of Ashura. This tragedy has cast its shadow not only on Islam and its history, but continues to have an impact on even the world we live in today. One of the major and most significant questions that poses itself regarding Ashura, is the one asking what led to such a tragedy. Why was the beloved grandson of the holy prophet of Islam (SAWW) slaughtered in such a manner only around fifty years after the demise of the prophet (SAWW), and by his own people? What prepared the grounds for such an atrocity? Was it planned? Was it just coincidence? In a nutshell, what went wrong?!
