Preface
The issue of Karbala and the role that Yazîd had played therein has
always been a contentious issue amongst the Ulema and the general
masses. Much that has been narrated regarding the events before and
after the incident have been based upon historical narrations.
These can never serve the purpose of being used as a proof, owing not
only to the weakness of the majority of its narrations, but also due to
the existence of conflicting narrations as well.
Writing on this subject has never been deemed easy, since one must
ensure that one maintains utmost respect for the
Ahle-Bait (immediate family of Rasulullâh'), while at the same time
conforming to the demands of justice that has been required before
pronouncing the ‘guilty verdict’ upon any party.
Much courage to take a step in this most dangerous direction was
attained through two articles written on this subject, by two great
luminaries, viz. the great Muhaddith of India, Hadhrat Moulâna
Habibur-Rahmaan Sâhib Al-Azmi and the great philosopher,
Hadhrat Moulâna Manzoor Nu’mani Sâhib, in which both
personalities retracted from previously-held notions regarding the
character of Yazîd.
