to invite the punishment of Allah Almighty. The one who insults or disrespects those esteemed personalities, is disgraced in the world, and he will also face humiliation in the Hereafter.

One wretched individual from among them is Yazeed and his followers who were not only guilty of insulting the Sahabah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم, rather, they also have the blood of martyring the noble Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم on their hands. This was such a terrible act that the Islamic world has always condemned it and will continue to do so until the Day of Judgement.

The abominations of the wretched Yazeed and his followers

Sadr-ul-Afadil, Allamah Maulana Mufti Sayyid Muhammad Na’eem-ud-Din Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: Sayyiduna Imam Husain’s presence was a great obstacle for the freedom of Yazeed. He knew that he would not be able to act freely in Sayyiduna Imam Husain’s blessed era, and his evils were not going to be tolerated at all by Imam Husain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ. He could see that the whip of a religious person like Sayyiduna Imam Husain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ is always hovering above his head, therefore, Yazeed was even more of an enemy of Sayyiduna Imam Husain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ and his martyrdom was a means of pleasure for him.

As soon as Imam Husain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ was martyred, Yazeed became openly free, and all types of sins became commonplace. Immorality, marriage between brother and sister, usury and drinking of alcohol became openly widespread, there was no strictness on Salah, rebelliousness reached its peak. The abominations reached such an extent that Muslim bin Uqbah took an army of 12,000 or 20,000 to Madina Tayyibah in order to conquer it. This purposeless army caused immense destruction in Madina Tayyibah and committed murders and atrocities against the neighbours of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. They plundered the homes of those who lived there. They martyred more than 10000 people, including 700 blessed Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم. Boys were imprisoned and such vile acts were committed which are unpleasant to mention. Horses were tied to the pillars of Masjid-un-Nabawi. People could not offer Salah for 3 days. Only Sayyiduna Sa’eed Bin Musayyab رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ
