"Were it not for this movement, the Uprising of Husayn (A), Yazid and his followers would have presented Islam upside-down to the people. From the beginning they did not believe in Islam and were jealous of the authorities of Islam. By his sacrifice, the Master of Martyrs not only defeated them for, a short time after, the people realized what a great disaster and tragic event had taken place and this calamity disrupted the fate of the Bani Omayyad."
