The Devotion And Sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Husain RadiAllahu Anhu

Hazrat Imam Husain RadiAllahu Anhu gave the greatest sacrifice on the battlefield of Karbala, along with his loyal companions, to uphold the honour and dignity of Islam. His entire life was a shining example of worship and righteous deeds. He devoted himself to Salaah, fasting, charity, hajj, and all forms of goodness.

Hazrat Ibn-e- Atheer Jazari Alaihir Rahma described Hazrat Imam Husain's noble qualities by saying:

كَانَ الْحُسَيْنُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَاضِلًا كَثِيرَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالْحَقِّ وَالصَّدَقَةِ وَأَفْعَالِ الْخَيْرِ جَمِيعِهَا

Translation: Hazrat Imam Husain RadiAllahu Anhu was a man full of virtue, he fasted a lot, performed Salaah regularly, performed Hajj, gave charity, and did many good deeds.
