Tragedy of Karbala … Then and Now [Quote - 235]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book III (201-300)

"The tragedy of Karbala is not just that people with Muslim names killed Husain, the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, and mutilated his body, and that too in the month of Muharram during which all bloodshed is clearly forbidden. At the same time, the real Karbala Tragedy of our own time is the fact that Husain, while he continues to be a hero to the Shi’a, has become a stranger to much of the Sunni world." (Dr. Pasha)
