“At this critical juncture in the History of Mankind when the brute forces in the world are trying to obliterate civilization, the precious heritage of Mankind, the celebration of ‘Husein Day’ is most appropriate. The valuable lesson that the Great Martyr Imam Husein taught us, not by precept, but by the sacrifices, for the sake of freedom, of most of his male relatives, his 72 devotees, his beloved brothers and sons and finally of himself, is that a noble cause can never perish, how odd the chances may appear provided we do neither fail in our duty nor shrink from any sacrifice how great it be.” – M. Hussain Yawar Khan
