Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed month of Muharram-ul-Haraam is that month in which the most awful event of the battle of Karbala took place where 72 esteemed personalities including the blessed grandson [Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ] of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم were oppressed by Yazeed and his evil followers, such was their cruelty that causes distress for the true lovers of the blessed companions and the Ahl-e-Bayt   (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم). These disgusting people who were responsible for cruelty and the martyrdom of these prominent figures had miserable deaths which were witnessed by the whole world, and these oppressors will also suffer disgrace and humiliation in the Hereafter. Let’s listen to the cruelty and the awful end of the filthy Yazeed.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Who was the filthy Yazeed?

Yazeed was that unfortunate person who has the dark spot of the ruthless killing of the innocent Ahl-e-Bayt-e-Kiraam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم on his forehead; he will be cursed in every era by the Muslim Ummah until the Day of Judgement. Yazeed the evil hearted was born in 25^th Hijri in Damascus. He was extremely fat, excessively hairy, a transgressor, a drunkard, very offensive, cruel, ill-mannered, blasphemous; his cruel activities are beyond description, besides that, he introduced incest (marriage with those whom it is forbidden to marry) and he promoted usury/interest. (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 111)

From time to time, the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did inform the blessed Sahabah Kiraam about the Fitnah (turmoil) of Yazeed.

Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, I have heard the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saying: ‘اَوَّلُ مَنۡ يُّبَدِّلُ سُنَّتِيۡ رَجُلٌ مِّنۡ بَنِيۡ اُمَيَّةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَزِيۡدُ’ The first person in the Ummah to change the Sunnah will be a person from the Banu Umayyah called Yazeed. (Tareekh-e-Madinah, vol. 65, pp. 250)
