Why did the Islamic community consent to murder of Prophet’s (pbuh) grandson?
The Islamic society never imagined that one day the son of the Messenger of God (peace and greetings be upon him), with those exemplary virtues and attributes, would be martyred in that tragic manner in the midst of the Muslim nation. Today too, we will continue to witness such crimes and tragedies in the Islamic nation if the intellectuals and people reduce the intensity of their resistance against illegitimate rulers.

Innate values can never be buried
The very place where it was once thought that everything including truths, essences, values, and all manifestations of the pure Islam brought by the Prophet (pbuh) had been buried, attracts the hearts of people from all over the world today! Hence, the hands of materialistic worldviews can never bury innate values. [Imam Khamenei, Nov. 14, 1999]

Book introduction:
"Imam Husayn, The Saviour of Islam" compiled by Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
All those who have served human society, in one way or another, have a right on human society. But no one has so much right on human society like that of the martyrs, and this is the reason underlying the extraordinary sentimental appreciation which people show in regard to the martyrs.

On the occasion of the Arbaeen of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (pbuh)
What does Arbaeen teach Muslims?
Oppressors and tyrants wanted to eliminate the event of the Husseini Ashura as well, but Zaynab al-Kubra (God's greetings be upon her) did not allow this to happen. Lady - Zaynab al-Kubra - made two moves in order to do this: one was made during her capture and her transfer to Kufa and Shaam where she made illuminating and enlightening speeches. The other move was making a pilgrimage to Karbala in Arbaeen. This move means that we should not allow the malevolent motives which intend to erase dear, influential and important eras from memories to be successful.

On the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam al-Hussain (pbuh)
Who is Imam Hussain? Why did he launch an uprising?
Today, wherever humanity has undergone some defeat, either political, military or economic, the roots of it can be traced to ignorance or abasement. That is, either they do not have the knowledge and necessary understanding, or they understand but have sold themselves cheap. They have bought into abasement and have submitted to viciousness.
