The martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A) and of the supporters of the Qur'an

"The martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A) and of the supporters of the Qur'an on the Day of Ashura was the beginning of the eternal life of Islam and the Qur'an. The martyrdom of the Innocent ones of the Divine Progeny and their captivity, devastated forever the throne and crown of Yazid and his line who, in the name of Islam, tried, in their immature fancy, to eradicate the Divine Revelation and, it, also, wiped the Sufyanians off the scenes of history."
