Husayn ibn Ali

The Battle of Karbala (680 CE) was a confrontation in which Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of Prophet Muhammad, was killed with his companions by Umayyad forces near the Euphrates. It became one of the most consequential events in Islamic history, shaping the development of Shia Islam.

Zaynab bint Ali (626-682 CE), granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad and sister of Husayn, played a crucial role in preserving the legacy of Karbala through her eloquence, courage, and steadfast leadership during one of Islam's most tragic events.
