Abstract
If the human tendency respects Human and considers him as an axis of the universe, the religious humanism will thus require hard devoutness. It is generally distinguished by a confident submission to Allah, waiting for the age of justice.
Besides that the features of religious humanism is a strong passion of the believer's morale which makes him think of the divine grace and he is provided with exceptional aspiration in this world and the next
Al Hussein and his family (peace be upon them) have the superiority to believe in religious humanism including this exceptional aspiration, since all attempts made by oppositions against his reform project achieved nothing.
The tendency of humanism is the human philosophy that respects the human being and considers him as an axis of universe. includes a number of unique features that distinguishes human from animals.
In extrapolating this religious humanism of Ahl al Bait in their critical circumstances, we say that imam Ali peace be upon him) was assassinated in 660 by a common conspiracy between the outsiders (alkawarj) and bin Ummayya which continued until the succession of Imam Al-Hassan and did not end as many leaders plotted against him.
Therefore, he was forced to make a convention of peace with Muawiya. but the latter broke it then. Muawiyah considered the convention void and promised and announced that all the followers of lmam Ali would be Save.
AL Imam Hussein decided not to make a convention with Muawiya but at the same time respected his brother's decision. Muawiya managed to kill Imam Al Hassan by poison with the help of Imam Hassan's wife. Muawiya started then to make a consiparcy in order to nominate his son Yazid a ruler and he consulted his assistants such as Marwan ibn Al- Hakam who advised him to wait for the best time.
when Hijr bin Adi and the followers of Imam Ali were killed by Muawed iya, Imam Al-Hussein was called by the people of Kofa. This made Marwan afraid and asked Muawyia what to do. Muawyia told him not to tell Imam Hussein anything. Muwayia wrote a letter to Imam Al Hussein that he was not willing to fight him. After Muwayia made his son Yazid a ruler he broke the convention with Imam Al-Hassan, Marwan tried to take approval of the people of Al Madina but he was opposed with disagreement by Imam AL- Hussein, Abdulrahman bin Baker, Abdul bin Azabeir and Abdul bin Omer When Muawiya visited Al-Madina, he promised to punish all of them, but he was opposed by Aisha and he, therefore, make peace with them.
When Muawiya died, Yazid asked his assistants to announce allegiance to him; one of them was Al- waleed bin Utba.Mawayia advised Yazid not to kill Imam Al-Hussein. Yazid wrote to the ruler of Al Madina to take allegiance from those four persons and kill immediately whoever disagreed.
AL Imam Hussein disagreed to announce allegiance to Yazid as to a ruler after Yazid was known for his adultery and desire Muayia, since kill anyone.
Many letters were written to lmam AL-Hussein to get rid of the corrupted Yazid. He sent his cousin Muslim bin Aqueel in order to know the situation in Kofa. In such a case, Yazid ordered Abeed Allah bin Zyaad to put an end to this situation. Consequently, Muslim bin Aqueel, Hani bin Arwa, Abdula bin Yaqteen and aays bin Musher were all killed.
Imam Al Hussein had no choice but to go to Kofa to fight the corrupted Yazid and nobody could change his mind for the sake of reformation. He promised his followers to put an end for injustice and to help all weak people. When he found out the infidelity of the people of Kofa, he made a speech to all his followers telling them that they can withdraw and leave him alone to confront the destiny by himself, but they were all ready to stay with him saying that if they were killed many times, they would have not leave him alone facing the enemy. |
