The Inspiration
When Hussain (as) placed his head in prostration and was struck on the neck, he might have physically been martyred but his legacy lives on eternally. He showed that love can defeat hate, righteousness can defeat might, eloquence can defeat hostility and faith can defeat desire. He stood alone and stared into the eyes of thirty thousand blood thirsty murderers and did not move away from his principles. This is a message to us that throughout our lives, no matter what tribulations or tests we face, our faith should be unflinching.
