- Description : ḥusayn ibn 'alī ibn abī ṭālib (حس...(more)ين بن علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب) (third of shaban 626, at medina - tenth of muharram 680, at karbala) was the grandson of the islamic prophet muhammad and the son of ali, the first shia imam, and the fourth sunni rightly guided caliph, and muhammad's daughter fatima zahra. hussein ibn ali is revered as the third imam by most shi'a muslims, and as the second imam by the majority of ismaili shi'a muslims.
he rose up against yazid i, the umayyad caliph to found a regime that would reinstate a \"true\" islamic polity as opposed to what he considered the unjust rule of the umayyads.he was killed in the battle of karbala in 680(61ah).the anniversary of his martyrdom is called ashura and it is a day of mourning and religious observance for shi'a muslims. revenge for husayn's death was turned into a rallying cry that helped undermine the umayyad caliphate and gave impetus to the rise of a powerful shia movement.
