The month of Muharram; the first month of the Islamic calendar; brings with it the memory of the sacrifice of Imam Husain [a]; the grandson of Prophet Muhammad [s];and his noble family and friends. This short text reflectsthe deep admiration of its author towards Imam Husain [a]and an insight into the tragedy of Karbala; its reasons andits consequences. It is presented with the hope that it willfoster the Islamic unity and the brotherly love that the author seeks in his preface.The author; of course; is none other than the well-known Sunni English translator and commentator of the Qur'an;Abdullah Yusuf Ali; who died in 1952 in England. Littlewould he have known that his English translation and commentary of the Qur'an would become so popular in the West and East alike; wherever English is read and understood. Perhaps Karbala is not quite over yet.
