What was the significance of the Battle of Karbala?

Answer 1

To save the final word of ALLAH, to save the religion most beloved by ALLAH, to save Islam, to save HUMANITY, to raise the human conscience, to help the opressed stand up against the opressor, to make people understand that ALLAH be worshipped whatever situation they be in & not to give in to evil.

Therefore IMAM HUSSAIN (AS) left His home in Madina (to save its sacntity), knowing what is in store ahead, with His family, friends & supporters, totalling around 72 male members plus some females, including the people of the House of PROPHET MOHAMMED (PEACE BE UPON HIM & HIS PROGENY) by the time the war started on 10 Moharrum, 61 Hijri in Karbala.

IMAM HUSSAIN (AS) did not want a tyrant like yazid (ALLAH's curse on him) to take over the reins of the people, which the IMAM knew will lead to total destruction of ISLAM & human value in general since yazid (ALLAH's curse on him) was introducing new changes against the moral values of humanity.

Hence to save humanity from all such things, IMAM had to raise His voice against this evil and so the battle happened.

Answer B

at Muharram 10, in the year 61 of Islamic calendar (October 10, 680)The so called Umayyad King, Yazid came to power. With his evil intentions he wanted to destroy Islam. He began to turn right to false and false to right. Slowly he was turning the Islamic laws into false due to the fact he was in power. Yazid sent his messanger to Imam Hussain (grandson of prophet Muhammed) in Medina to pay pledge/kneel to Yazid. But Imam Hussain refused.

THEN, the grandson of Prophet Muhammed stood against him. And at dessert of Karbala with 3 days hunger and thirst Imam Hussain gave his life for the right path and did not surrender or kneel to Yazid.

according ro shia Muslims Imam Hussain S.A. the pious grandson of prophet Muhammad PBUH is the 3th leader of Muslims selected by God to lead Muslims after prophet.

by military of Yazid they could not drink water from the Forat river.

Imam Husain S.A and all his supporters were killed, including Husain's six months old infant son, and the women and children were taken as prisoners.

Imam Hussain S.A. said the version of Islam made by Yazid is a fake Islam and said "with Yazid bye to Islam" and I want to save the real Islam for future humans by my blood.

the Battle of Karbala cause Iranians think and understand there are two different versions of Islam: Islam of Imam Hussain S.A. and Islam of Yazid and this caused majority of Iranians accept shia Islam and convert from sunni Islam to shia Islam after Battle of Karbala.

he was aware of being killed if go to Karbala because he received many warnings from Caliph before.
