Imam Husain (A.S.): The Leader of the Entire Humanity
Language: English
Presented By: World Islamic Network
Extent: 158pp
Tradition and history will bear it out that no event in the history of the world has moved humanity as deeply as the tragedy of Karbala, which took place thirteen hundred years ago. It happened then and it is happening today. It will go on happening until there is an end to the conflict between light and darkness, between Good and Evil, between right and wrong between Brute force and Truth and there seems to be on end to it.
The personality of Hussein, the hero of Karbala, has a charm that allures in its fold not only those who are bound to him by the ties of faith but people of different faiths and diverse outlook, people who believe only in the religion of humanity. This can be shown by the hundreds of books that have been written by non-Muslims and the thousands of articles that are contributed yearly by Hindus, Christians and others about Imam Hussein and his sacrifices.
Mr. Khursheed must be congratulated for bringing out this compilation with a view to present Imam Hussein not through the eyes of his devotees and mourners but through different eyes.
This booklet will prove a source of light to those who are in darkness, a source of courage and steadfastness to those who may be fighting for right and a source of peace to those who are afflicted with the war-ridden world of the twentieth century. Karbala has these clear flashing messages for the human race.
