"It was by divine Will that Husayn ibn Ali, this essence of prophethood and memento of leadership (Wilayat) rose to sacrifice his dear life and the lives of his dear ones for their faith and belief and for the sake of the grand Ummah of the noble Prophet (S) so that, throughout history, his pure blood would boil and water God's religion and safeguard the Revelation and its fruits."
