Historical references
Hasan and Husain were the grandsons of Prophet Muhammad and the sons of Ali and Fatima. They are commonly known as 'Hasanain' in Islamic tradition. Hasan was the elder brother of Husain and was appointed as the caliph of the Islamic Ummah (community) by their father Ali in 656 CE. However, after Ali's death, Muawiya I seized power and Hasan agreed to a truce, ending the First Fitna (civil war). Hasan retreated to Medina and spent the rest of his life in seclusion, becoming a respected scholar and teacher.
656 CE
Husain, the younger brother of Hasan, was known for his unwavering loyalty to Islam and his commitment to justice. He refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid I, the Umayyad caliph, and led a small group of followers to Karbala in 680 CE. There, they were brutally defeated and Husain, along with his family, was martyred. The tragedy at Karbala is commemorated as Ashura in the Islamic calendar, and Husain is revered as a symbol of resistance against tyranny and oppression.
