“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
