hero to expose to the eyes of the sleeping Muslims the great danger of the Omayyads to Islam.

That could be done only by a unique sacrifice. No one could do that but the grandson of the Messenger of God who is the son of the Imam Ali and the Lady of Light Fatima daughter of the Messenger of God. As the Holy Prophet Mohammad fought for the establishment of the Faith, his grandson fought for the continuity of the Faith.

The Imam exposed the wicked regime by facing the forces of Omayyad in the open on the land of Karbala; by offering his sacred blood and that of the members of his house which is the blood of the Prophet and by Omayyad’s taking into captivity the grand-daughters of the Prophet, driving them from one city to another.

He showed the Muslim World that the Omayyads do not recognize any Islamic Law. Therefore, they could not be trusted with religion. He proved to the Muslims that the Omayyads had taken Islam as a hiding screen behind which the disbelief in Islam was concealed.

By his unique martyrdom the Imam laid the foundation of The School of Heroism whose graduates, from all generations, would not be intimidated by death. These people are the ones capable of reshaping the world and securing the continuity and progress of the Faith.

The Imam secured the continuity of Islam and defeated the biggest force of revisionism. Thus, he is entitled to be called: Redeemer of Islam.
