The Captivity Journey

The Aftermath of the Hussainy Epic, 61 A.H.

The Implication of the Hussainy Epic

The tragic scene of the epic is not completed yet, it is noon time of the 10th day of Muharram, 61 A.H. as this day marked the beginning of a new phase of striving, revolution, and the objective and conscious exploitation of all the achievements of the Ashura Epic.

The heroes of the ongoing strive (Jihad) on the path of Karbala and its method are different than the heroes of the battle of Karbala. As Zeinab (O) seemed a shining star in leading the captives’ convoy while following the orders of the Imam of her time, Imam Sajjad (Q), whom the legitimate mandate required, in order to preserve the Imamate line, for his stand to be the same as the stand of his grandfather, the Prince of the believers (Q), on the day of the Dar, though he was the main director of the course of events after the battle.

And the families of martyrs, consisting of widows and orphans, had materialized the terminologies to perfect the Mohammedan striving scene. That allowed history to write once again with the help of the rising tears, the rebel cry of pain, and the stands of challenges and confrontations in the Caliph’s castles, the Muslims’ Mosques, their markets, homes and gathering places, as the captives’ convoy was an inseparable part of the blessed revolution of Imam Hussain (Q)
