Imam Husain (A.S.): Guidance Lamp and Salvation Ship

By: Ayatullah Modarresi
No matter how much is written or published on Imam Hussain's personality and movement, humanity remains in a great need for more such production. For, he is a never-ending cause, and an undoubtful drama.
Therefore, we embarked on issuing this book, in a new trial to understand his method, discover through his journey, get guided by his visions, and follow his right path.
Beautiful is what A-Sayed had said in his book's opening: It is a sanction to live a whole life on Imam Hussain's coast deprived of life's water, Hussain's determination, his courage, grace, beneficence, self-sacrifice, confrontation, challenge, and all the beauties given by revolutionary Karbala.
Hussain, related in his grandfather's tradition is, the guidance lamp and salvation ship. He belongs to the holy messenger, and the messenger belongs to Hussain, He is the leader of Muslims and Allah's proof, and is greater than just a tragic figure. Karbala, too, is higher than a mere folklore. Hussain is the prophets' heir, the guardians' translation, and the pious' example, He is the school of monotheism.
