 ==Politics and Rule==
-The short reign of Yazid was a period of great unrest, in which he tried to mercilessly extinguish any disagreeing current. Social and political freedom at his time was so limited that according to al-Mas'udi, "The conducts of Yazid was the same as those of Pharaoh; rather, Pharaoh was more just than him among his people and more fair to the elite and masses." "In the first year of his rule, he killed [[al-Husayn (a)]] and the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] of the Prophet (s); in the second year, he disrespected the sanctuary of the [[Messenger of God (s)]] in [[Medina]], and made it permissible for his soldiers [to do what they wanted with its people]; and in the third year, he attacked [[Ka'ba]] and burned it."

 The oppression and crimes that Yazid committed during his short reign marked the beginning of a series of uprisings and revolts against the [[Umayyad]] dynasty, and finally overthrew it.
