He said that Imam Hussain (pbuh) gave the ultimate sacrifice to save the pious mission, while after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (pbuh), the captives of Karbala (pbut) propagated and forwarded same pious objectives with great care.

 She said that on the plain of Karbala, the grandson of the Holy Prophet together with his sons and fellow companions sacrificed their lives to provide a fresh impetus to Islam, while Zainab Bint e Ali (pbuh) and Hazrat Zain al Abidin (pbuh) chained and in captivity, provided eternity to the Hussainiat through their elegant and eloquent addresses and proved that no worldly power can ever harm Islam.
