Produktinformationen "The Battle of Karbala"
In 680 CE, the arid plains of Karbala became the site of a defining moment in Islamic history. This detailed account chronicles the confrontation between Husayn ibn Ali-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad-and the vastly superior forces of the Umayyad caliph Yazid I. With only a small group of companions and family members, including women and children, Husayn stood in stark contrast to the 40,000-strong army arrayed against him. The resulting massacre and the subsequent captivity of his surviving kin sparked profound grief, political unrest, and a legacy of resistance that would echo through centuries. Set against the backdrop of early Islamic leadership struggles, the battle embodies themes of faith, sacrifice, and moral conviction. Commemorated annually during Muharram, the events at Karbala continue to shape religious identity and collective memory across the Muslim world. This book offers a clear and compelling overview of a pivotal moment that forever altered the course of Islamic civilization.
