Image description

At the Battle of Karbala the followers of Ali, led by the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Husayn, were defeated by the forces of the Umayyad Caliph Yazid. The event, which is often depicted in popular prints, is used by Shia to recall the martyr's role that they feel they have played throughout history.
