Husayn ibn Ali quotes
Husayn ibn Ali was an important figure in early Islamic history and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. He is best remembered for his martyrdom at the Battle of Karbala, where he became a symbol of resistance against oppression. He is revered by millions, especially within the Shia Muslim community, for his unwavering stand for justice and faith. Here are 32 of his quotes:
Those who worship God for the hope of gaining, they're not real worshippers, they're merchants. Those who worship God out of fear (of punishment), they're slaves. And those who worship God to be grateful towards their creator, they are the free people, and their worship is a real one.
Husayn ibn Ali
Oh God! Surely you know that whatever we did was not a competition to gain worldly positions and not for the worthless physical attractions of the world. But to show the signs of religious ways and to remove corruption from your lands, so that the oppressed feel secured and act according to your traditions and rules.
Husayn ibn Ali
Oh people, the Messenger of God said: Whoever sees an aggressive tyrant that legalizes the forbiddens of God, breeches divine laws, opposes the tradition of the Prophet, oppresses the worshippers of God, and does not concede his opposition to God in word or in deed, surely Allah will place that tyrant (in the Hell) where he deserves.
