Imam Hussain’s patience and endurance in the face of tribulations led to the spread of religious values

The survival of Islam, the survival of God's path, and the continued pursuit of this path by God's servants have relied on and drawn strength from the actions of Hussain ibn Ali (pbuh) and Zainab al-Kubra. In other words, that remarkable patience, that steadfastness, that endurance in hardships and difficulties are the reason behind us seeing that religious values are prevalent in the world today. All of these human values that are in accordance with the human conscience are values that have arisen from religion. These values have been taught by religion.
