Imam Hassan made peace...why did Imam Hussain fight?
Ayatollah Dr Sayyid Fadhil H Milani
Imam Hussain ('a) sacrificed his life along with 72 other believing men, all for the sake of Truth. The rise and advent of Islam are attributed to Prophet Muhammad ('s), whilst the continuity and stability of his faith is attributed to his grandson, Imam Hussain Ibn Ali ('a).
