the uprising of imam hussain (A.S)

Imam Hussain (as) did not come to Karbala just to fight and be martyred. There were certain reasons for the Imam's revolutionary uprising. In the following, some of these objectives will be reviewed.

"... and I am not taking up arms in order to make merry, or be ecstatic over what I possess. I am not making mischief, nor exercising oppression. But, I am ready to fight for the sole goal of seeking reform of the Ummah of my grandfather, the Prophet of almighty Allah (swt). I want to enjoin good and forbid evil and guide the affairs of the people as my grandfather, and my father, Ali bin Abi Talib(as) were doing."
