The Captivity Journey

The Final Hours of the Day of Ashura

All the women of Imam Hussain (Q) along with his daughters and children had gathered under the captivity of the enemies, while occupied by sadness, distress and weeping. That day had ended while they were in so much sorrow and grieve that no heart can bear. They spent that night having lost their men and protectors, strangers where ever they reside or travel. Yet, the enemies exaggerate in abandoning them and staying away from them, aiming for the consent of the hypocrite Omar Bin Saad who had wounded the hearts and caused for the children of the Messenger of Allah (P) to become orphans. Also, they wanted to become closer to the libertine, Obayd Allah Bin Ziad, who was appointed by the infidel, Yazeed Bin Muawiya, the head of obstinacy and disbelieving.
