In this blessed month of Muharram there is much to reflect
on. In this article we will focus on the similarities between the
situations of Imam Hussain (a.s) and Imam e Zamana (ajf).
The stories of Imam Hussain (a.s) and Imam e Zamana
(ajf) have many parallels:The Loyal Band of Shias- The Shias of Karbala
The small but fiercely loyal group who made up the Ansar
of Imam Hussain (a.s) were a small minority. The majority of
people had abandoned Imam Ali, Ameer ul Momineen (a.s),
and had either plotted to defame him, or were sheeple who
blindly followed their puppet masters. Many just wanted to get
on with life and make the best out of it, and not be bothered
with matters like revolution and standing for truth. This left a
small group of Shias who proclaimed love of the Ahlul Bayt
(a.s)
