Why yazid killed hussein

He could not give Yazid allegiance because his person and actions were the embodiment of everything that opposed the letter and the spirit of Islam. As the Imam of the time, Imam Husayn was the custodian of all the values that Yazid was violating, and so he could not condone it by paying allegiance to him.

By merely not paying allegiance, Yazid ordered him to be killed. Imam Husayn travelled to Mecca to be in the protection of the House of God. He surrounded Ibn Zubair in Masjid al-Haram.

Now let us cite words of a Sunni Imam whose words cannot be denied by any Nasibi. From amongst the beliefs which overwhelmed the Sunni people is that Yazeed was right and Hussain was wrong in his rebellion. If they consulted history books they would have know how he Yazeed achieved bayya and how he forced the people and committed every disgraceful thing for the sake of bayya.

If we assumed that his Caliphate was correct, on other hand he committed many acts which are sufficient to abolish his bayya, such as attacking Madina and Kaaba with ballista, killing Hussain along with his family and striking his lips with a stic k. Now let us cite the testimony of a scholar who despite his known Nasibi tendencies confirmed the fact that it was Yazeed who killed Imam Hussain as.

We read in Al-Muqadima by Ibn Khaldun, page While dicussing the events of 63 H, He stated:. Tafseer Mazhari [Urdu], Volume 8 page Yazeed and his associates did Kufr with the bounties of Allah. They deemed it their aim to have a grudge against the progeny of the Prophet s and murdered Hussain ra with oppression and Yazeed did Kufr with the religion of Prophet s to the extent that Yazeed recited the following couplets over the murder of Hussain ra.

The cited report about Yazeed getting upset over the martyrdom of Imam Hussain as is primarily in Tarikh Tabari contain an unknown arrator in its chain. We challenge Nawasib to either prove the authenticity of the narration or shut up and accept that Yazeed was the lead culprit in the murder of Imam Hussain as.

That is not for you or him. Yazeed got angry and said to her : You are lying, by Allah! I may do that, and if I want to do it, I will do it.

She said: No, by Allah. Allah has forbidden that for you, unless you leave our religion and follow some religion other than ours. Yazeed got angry and lost his temper, and he said: Are you speaking to me like that? Rather it is your father and your brother who have left the religion!

Zaynab said: Rather you, your father and your grandfather were guided by virtue of the religion of Allah, the religion of my father, the religion of my brother, the religion of my grandfather. He said: You are lying, O enemy of Allah! She said: You are a tyrant, who slanders people wrongfully and suppress them. By Allah, it was as if he felt ashamed, so he fell silent. He said: Get out; may Allah strike you dead! Adh-Dhahabi said: He is a worthless narrator of stories; he is not to be trusted; he was ignored by Abu Haatim and others.

Ad-Daaraqutni said: He is weak. And he said, on one occasion: He is nothing. Do you think, O Yazeed, after you have gained control over us and we have ended up being driven as slave women are driven, that we are insignificant to Allah and that you are honoured by Him, and that this was because you are of high status before Him, so you began to behave in an insolent manner and began to look at yourself with jubilant self-admiration?

Is it fair, O son of the freed ones [people of Quraysh who were let off by the Prophet blessings and peace of Allah be upon him when they surrendered following the conquest of Makkah, despite their years of enmity towards him], to keep your womenfolk and slave women out of sight and to drive the daughters of the Messenger of Allah like prisoners of war, after you have torn their veils and forced them to show their faces, and their enemies drive them from one land to another?

This is something for which there is no basis in the books of the scholars; rather it is something that was narrated only by the Raafidis who are known for lying.

This is false. End quote. Whoever narrated that he poked his teeth with a stick in the presence of Anas and Abu Barzah, in front of Yazeed, is definitely lying, and his lie is well known on the basis of mutawaatir reports. He cursed Ibn Ziyaad for killing him, and he honoured the family of al-Husayn who had been with him during that march of his, and during their march back to Madinah. He did not detain them and keep them with him. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah may Allah have mercy on him said:.

He was courageous and generous, and he did not openly commit shameful deeds as his opponents said concerning him. During his reign several significant events occurred, one of which was the killing of al-Husayn may Allah be pleased with him.

He did not issue orders that al-Husayn be killed, and he did not express joy at his killing, and he did not poke the teeth of al-Husayn may Allah be pleased with him with a stick or carry the head of al-Husayn may Allah be pleased with him to Syria.

But he did issue orders that al-Husayn may Allah be pleased with him be resisted and his efforts to become caliph were to be hindered, even if that meant fighting him.
