Addressing
a theme central to Islamic History and Culture. The author writes about
the shahdat of Husayn in the Battle of Karbala (10 October 680) an event
that has had the most pervasive and lasting effect on all facets of
Islamic Civilization. After narrating the core historical events from
the death of Hasan bin 'Ali to the death of Mus'ab bin Zubayr based on
the earliest surviving accounts, the author devotes two chapters to "The
Primary Sources" and "The Critical Sources" which scrutinize both early
Muslim and Christian accounts. The succeeding chapters cover cultural
aspects inspired by Husayn: Ideology and Literature, Doctrine and
Ritual, Architecture and Art. By preferring death to dishonor, Husayn
taught that the means justified the end. For this reason, the devotees
of Husayn have become the most frequent targets of terrorists. This new
edition has been enlarged upon.
