Imam Hussein is know as a martyr and hero for both Shia and the Sunni. His martyr was for the refusal to pledge allegiance to yazid I, also known for the Umayyad caliph. For this he was exiled, however, many people agreed with his actions and requested that he come back. In doing so his caravan was attacked and he was beheaded, striking a day of mourning on the 10th day of Muharram, also known as the Ashura, for all Shia Muslims.
