SHAFAQNA – In his Dua, Imam Sadeq (AS) said: “And he gave his (Imam Hussain (AS)) blood for the sake of Allah (SWT) in order to take the servants of God out of ignorance, and wandering, and being misled.” Therefore, the main reason for the uprising by Imam Hussain (AS) was to combat ignorance, and as long as the illness of ignorance is not cured, it cannot be expected for the religious values to have influence over the society [1].
