Re: The Husseini Lesson
I just read incidents related to Karbala in Tareekh e Tabri from the death of Ameer Muaviya (RA) followed by attempts made to obtain Bayat from Hazrat Hussain (RA) by Waleed Bin Utbah and Marwaan Bin Hakam, Hazrat Hussain leaving for Makkah and then sending his cousin Hazrat Muslim Bin Aqeel to see what was the situation at Kufa and people who wrote him for Bayat.
These all incidents suggests that no one knew what is going to happen next. If Hazrat Hussain (RA) knew what was going to be happened, why he sent Hazrat Muslim Bin Aqeel (RA) in Kufa to face such a dangerous situation and also taken Ahl e bait with him for his journey to Kufa which was also opposed by Muhammad Bin Hanifa and Ibn e Abbas (RA).
Spot on, nothing in the history suggests that and i think for someone who already knows whats going to happen is better prepared for it. Claiming that they already knew whats going to happen is reducing the significance of their sacrifice.
