A sensitive and moving account of the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad's (saas) grandson, Hussein ibn 'Ali and his followers in the events leading up to the tragic Battle of Karbala. Recommended for ages 9 and over. The Prophet may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Recognition of the family of Muhammad is freedom from the Fire. Love of the family of Muhammad crossing over the Sirat. Friendship for the family of Muhammad is safety from the Fire.' One of the 'ulama said, "Recognition' in this case means recognising their place in relation to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Recognition of that brings with it recognition of the rights and respect that are due to them because of it. 'Umar ibn Abi Salama said that, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, people of the House', (33:33) was revealed in Umm Salama's house. The Prophet, summoned Fatima, Hasan and Hussein and enfolded them in a garment and Ali was behind him. Then he said, "0 Allah! These are the people of my House, so remove all impurity from them and purify them completely!" (At-Tirmidhi). (Ash-Shifa of Qadi Tyad: II, 3.5, p241.) And may the blessings and peace of Allah be on the Prophet Muhammad, his wives, and on his family, and on his companions, and on all who follow him. Amin.
