At the time of his birth, the Prophet (s) foretold his martyrdom and chose al-Husayn as his name. The Prophet (s) introduced him and his brother, [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], as the [[Masters of the Youth of Paradise]]. The Prophet (s) loved the two ([[al-Hasanayn]]) and instructed people to love them. Al-Husayn (a) is one of the [[Ashab al-Kisa']], one of the participants of the [[Mubahala]], and one of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] about whom [[al-Tathir Verse]] is revealed.

In response to letters from Kufa which invited him to lead an uprising against Mu'awiya, he ordered patience until the time of Mu'awiya's death. | ||
The imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) was simultaneous with the rule of Mu'awiya, who apparently respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took all measures to oppress the Shi'a. Imam al-Husayn (a) rebuked Mu'awiya in several cases, he wrote Mu'awiya a letter, condemning him for the murder of [[Hujr b. Adi]]. In another occasion, when Mu'awiya introduced Yazid as his successor, Imam al-Husayn (a) refused to pay allegiance to him, calling him unfit for leadership and proclaimed himself as the rightful leader of the ummah. The [[sermon of the Imam (a) in Mina]] can also be regarded as a political lecture against the Umayyads. | The imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) was simultaneous with the rule of Mu'awiya, who apparently respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took all measures to oppress the Shi'a.
