In the real sense of cosmic history, the martyrdom of Imam Hussain is a mighty triumph, a wondrous victory. Who would know the name Yazid today except for the fact that he was responsible for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain? Otherwise he would just be another of the thousands of despots, tyrants, and bullies that have abused their authority, another footnote in the history of man. However by killing the Imam, the human model of goodness and bravery, has become the human model of injustice.
