At his birth, the Prophet (s) foretold the story of his martyrdom and named him al-Husayn. The Prophet (s) introduced him and his older brother, [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], as the [[Masters of the Youth of Paradise]]. The last messenger of Allah (SWT) loved ([[al-Hasanayn]]) and instructed people to love them as well. Al-Husayn (a) is one of the [[Ashab al-Kisa']], one of the participants of the [[Mubahala]], and the last of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] about whom [[al-Tathir Verse]] is revealed. A large number of hadiths narrated directly from the Prophet Muhammad (s) add more to the distinctive status of al-Husayn (a). | At his birth, the Prophet (s) foretold the story of his martyrdom and named him al-Husayn.

After the martyrdom of Imam 'Ali (a), he followed and supported [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]]. Imam al-Husayn stood by the [[treaty between Imam al-Hasan (a) and Mu'awiya]] even after Imam al-Hasan's martyrdom until [[Mu'awiya]]'s death. In response to numerous letters from Kufa inviting him to lead an uprising against Mu'awiya, he recommended remaining patient until Mu'awiya's end. | ||
The imamate of Imam al-Husayn (a) coincided with the rule of Mu'awiya, who supposedly respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took pleasure in weakening and subjugating 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]].

The [[Sermon of Imam al-Husayn (a) in Mina|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) coincided with the rule of Mu'awiya, who supposedly respected the Imam (a) but, at the same time, took pleasure in weakening and subjugating the Shi'a.
