Battle of Karbala

The Battle of Karbala (Arabic: مَعْرَكَة كَرْبَلَاء‎) was fought on 10 October 680 (10 Muharram in the year 61 AH of the Islamic calendar) between the army of the second Umayyad Caliph Yazid I and a small army led by Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, at Karbala, modern day Iraq. Prior to his death, the Umayyad caliph Muawiyah I had nominated his son Yazid as his successor. Yazid's nomination was contested by the sons of a few prominent companions of Muhammad, including Husayn, son of the fourth caliph Ali, and Abd Allah ibn Zubayr, son of Zubayr ibn al-Awam. Upon Muawiyah's death in 680 CE, Yazid demanded allegiance from Husayn and other dissidents. Husayn did not give allegiance and traveled to Mecca. The people of Kufa, an Iraqi garrison town and the center of Ali's caliphate, were averse to the Syria-based Umayyad caliphs and had a long-standing attachment to the house of Ali. They proposed Husayn overthrow the Umayyads. On Husayn's way to Kufa with a retinue of about 70 men, his caravan was intercepted by a 1,000-strong army of the caliph at some distance from Kufa. He was forced to head north and encamp in the plain of Karbala on 2 October, where a larger Umayyad army of 4,000 arrived soon afterwards. Negotiations failed after the Umayyad governor Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad refused Husayn safe passage without submitting to his authority, a condition declined by Husayn. The Battle of Karbala ensued on 10 October during which Husayn was killed along with most of his relatives and companions, while his surviving family members were taken prisoner. The battle was followed by the Second Fitna, during which the Iraqis organized two separate campaigns to avenge the death of Husayn; the first one by the Tawwabin and the other one by Mukhtar al-Thaqafi and his supporters. The Battle of Karbala galvanized the development of the pro-Alid[a] party (Shi'at Ali) into a unique religious sect with its own rituals and collective memory. It has a central place in the Shi'a history, tradition, and theology, and has frequently been recounted in Shi'a literature. For the Shi'a, Husayn's suffering and death became a symbol of sacrifice in the struggle for right against wrong, and for justice and truth against injustice and falsehood. It also provides the members of the Shi'a faith with a catalog of heroic norms. The battle is commemorated during an annual ten-day period during the Islamic month of Muharram by Shi'a, culminating on tenth day of the month, known as the Day of Ashura. On this day, Shi'a Muslims mourn, hold public processions, organize religious gathering, beat their chests and in some cases self-flagellate. Sunni Muslims likewise regard the incident as a historical tragedy; Husayn and his companions are widely regarded as martyrs by both Sunni and Shi'a Muslims.

Wandering Caravan

In the modern 21. century, capitalistic behaviour was seen among the whole of humanity. Some suffered, while others bloomed with it. All of them knew one thing for sure - the fight for wealth was unending. Lien was one of those that benefitted from the capitalism. He was cruel and cold, doing all kinds of trades. Trading various resources, weapons and food alike. He even once traded with human life, which wasn't to his taste, but the experience was worth it. Yet among all those that he knew, and he knew a lot, he was the poorest. From the single wealthy people to families, clans and whole organisations, he was the poorest. It wasn't like his earnings were low - no, he didn't want them. The reason he traded was for the trading itself, not for some material benefit. At the beginning of his journey, he might have tried his best to amass his wealth, but later on, he understood something. Material things can be bought and sold all the time - even his life could be bought. There was one thing that truly was his - his soul and the joy he felt when he succeed in an exciting trade. As his joy was the only thing he focused on, there wasn't any speck of empathy or the like. Still, even as a person that was called the Devil in disguise, not a single person attacked him. Being uninterested in wealth was something that made any and all wealthy people happy - for they could at least give him the bit trust they could give someone. And so, he was a middle-man with contacts to all the wealth and upper echelons, dined with them and spend time in luxury, which wasn't really interesting. The trade was Lien's lifelong joy, and at the last speck of his life, he saw a chance to continue it! ...
