as sacred relics. This ram was sacrificed in exchange of Sayyiduna Isma’eel  عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام; those blessed horns were also burnt, they set fire to the blessed covering of the sacred Ka’bah which was left uncovered for many days, and the natives of Makkah Mukarramah suffered the severe tribulation inflicted upon them by the evil followers of Yazeed. The most sacred Masjid, ‘Masjid un-Nabawi’ was made impure by the urine and dung of horses; the people who embraced martyrdom during this massacre were more than 10000 in number including the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم who were famous for their piety and nobility.

However, the biggest truth is that an evil act leads to an evil end, so, shortly after the battle of Karbala, a Roman girl said to Yazeed that a shameless person who is disloyal and unfaithful to his Prophet’s grandson رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ can never be faithful to me. After saying so she repeatedly stabbed Yazeed with a dagger and left him to die. For a few days, vultures and crows feasted on his corpse. Finally, after an extensive search his people found him. They dug a ditch and dumped his rotten remains, other evil followers of Yazeed also suffered horrific deaths at the hand of Mukhtar Saqafi.

Undoubtedly, all these filthy and evil people will be cursed until the Day of Judgment, as A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَنَّان has stated: There is no doubt that Yazeed was impure and using the word ‘Paleed’ (filthy) for him is correct and using ‘رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه’ is impermissible for him as well as for those who hold enmity in their hearts towards Sayyiduna ‘Ali and Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم such people are the enemies of the Ahl-e-Bayt-e-Risalat. Besides that, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin ‘Abdul ‘Azeez رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ issued an order of 20 lashes to be given to the person who had called Yazeed ‘Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen’.

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant us life and death while we have love towards the blessed companions and the blessed household members (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم) of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
