SAYINGS OF WORLD DIGNITARIES ABOUT IMAM HUSSAYN (A.S.)


The Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) said, “Hasan and Hussayn are the leaders of the youths of Paradise.” “As a result of the assassination of Hussayn, such a warmth will be kindled in hearts of the believers that shall not become cold till the Day of Resurrection.”
Muhammad Ali Jinnah (First President of Pakistan)
He was the embodiment of love, valor and personification of sacrifice and devotion.
Mahatma Gandhi (Father of nation – India)
I learn from Hussayn how to achieve victory while being oppressed. Islam progressed due to the sacrifice of Hussayn.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (First Prime Minister of India)
Hazrat Imam Hussayn sacrificed his all, but he refused to submit to a tyrannical government. His sacrifice is a beacon of light of guidance for every community and every nation.
Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (Thinker of Pakistan and Famous Poet)
Imam Hussayn uprooted despotism forever, till the Day of Resurrection. He watered the dry gardens of freedom with a surging wave of his blood, and indeed he awakened the sleeping Muslim nation. If Imam Hussayn had aimed at acquiring worldly empire, he would not have travelled the way he did. Hussayn weltered in blood and dusk for the sake of truth. Verily, therefore he becomes the foundation of Muslim creed.
Josh Malihabadi (The Revolutionary Poet)
Let humanity awaken and every tribe will claim Hussayn as their own.
Al-Fakhri (Famous Arab Historian)
This is a catastrophe that which naught more shameful has happened in Islam.
Washington Irving (American Author, Essayist, Biographer and Historian)
It was possible for Hussayn to save his own life by submitting to the will of Yazid. But his responsibility as a reformer did not allow him. He therefor prepared to embrace all sorts of discomfort in order to deliver Islam from the hands of Umayyads. Under the blazing sun, on the parched land against the stiffing heat of Arabia, stood the immortal Hussayn.
Antoine Bara (Lebanese Writer)
No battle in the modern and history of mankind has earned more sympathy and admiration as well as provided more lessons than the martyrdom of Hussayn in the battle of Karbala.
Charles Dickens (English Novelist)
If Hussayn had fought to quench his worldly desires, then I do not understand why his sister, wife and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam.
Thomas Carlyle (Scottish Historian and Essayist)
Th best result we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Hussayn and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Hussayn, despite his minority, marvels me.
Sarojini Naidu (Great Indian Poetess titled Nightingale of India)
I congratulate Muslims that from among them, Hussayn, a great human being was born, who is revered and honored totally by all communities.
Dr. Radha Krishnan (Ex-President of India)
Though Imam Hussayn gave his life almost 1300 years ago, but his indestructible soul rules the hearts of the people even today.
Edward Gibbon (English Historian and Member of Parliament)
In a distant age and climate, the tragic scene of the death of Hussayn will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader.
