The original Arabic publication of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem, Al-Marjaeya wa Qadaya Ukhra, served as an excellent overview of the most pressing issues on the topic. Translating it to English for the benefit of English speakers was a must. This work will allow readers to deepen their understanding of the principles at stake and the driving forces that guide this leadership to guide others. Sayyid Al-Hakeem’s wisdom and selflessness in the topic is evident throughout his writing. Though he is a religious authority in his own right, he focused his work on the experiences and leadership of those who came before him. He emphasized the lessons and values exemplified by our late scholars and jurists. Through their sacrifices and forethought, he answered the hard questions asked of him. It is one thing to read answers from a scholar who is speaking about the Marjaeya generally; it is an entirely different experience to receive the answer directly from the Marja himself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\" id=\"authorInfoHeading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSayyid Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"209\" data-a-expander-name=\"authorBio\" aria-live=\"polite\" id=\"authorPageExpander\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis Eminence Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem was born in the Holy City of Najaf in 1934.

Whoever does not follow me will not witness the Triumph.\" These were some of Imam Hussain's last words before leaving Medina. He set out from Medina towards Kufa and ultimately to Karbala, knowing the great sacrifice that he would make. He foretold of his fate and knew that his movement would only result in a crushing military defeat. But he also knew the great value - the great triumph - that was to be gained. He set out not to achieve any immediate results or short-term goals. Rather, his movement was meant to build an eternal legacy and achieve lasting reform in the nation of his grandfather. But what and how did Imam Hussain reform the nation of his grandfather? Why did Imam Hussain sacrifice as he did? What was the context in which this sacrifice and tragedy took place? What was the role of the remainder of the Household of the Prophet before and after the tragedy? What was Imam Hussain's goal, and how did he triumph despite the grand massacre? Understanding Karbala is an in-depth historical and theological analysis that attempts to answer these far-reaching questions about Imam Hussain's movement. Based on the work of Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Saeed al-Hakeem, the book looks at the driving factors behind Imam Hussain's journey. It sets the theological framework for studying the movement of the Household of Prophet Muhammad and then begins to analyze their choices as seen in their words and actions, as well as the historical context in which they operated. The book also looks at the great triumph Imam Hussain aimed for and was able to achieve through his movement. By studying the short and long-term effects of the grand tragedy, the book sheds light on Imam Hussain's objectives and achievements and how the remainder of the Household of the Prophet worked to preserve that triumph.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSayyid Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis Eminence Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem was born in the Holy City of Najaf in 1934.

Whoever does not follow me will not witness the Triumph.\" These were some of Imam Hussain's last words before leaving Medina. He set out from Medina towards Kufa and ultimately to Karbala, knowing the great sacrifice that he would make. He foretold of his fate and knew that his movement would only result in a crushing military defeat. But he also knew the great value - the great triumph - that was to be gained. He set out not to achieve any immediate results or short-term goals. Rather, his movement was meant to build an eternal legacy and achieve lasting reform in the nation of his grandfather. But what and how did Imam Hussain reform the nation of his grandfather? Why did Imam Hussain sacrifice as he did? What was the context in which this sacrifice and tragedy took place? What was the role of the remainder of the Household of the Prophet before and after the tragedy? What was Imam Hussain's goal, and how did he triumph despite the grand massacre? Understanding Karbala is an in-depth historical and theological analysis that attempts to answer these far-reaching questions about Imam Hussain's movement. Based on the work of Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Saeed al-Hakeem, the book looks at the driving factors behind Imam Hussain's journey. It sets the theological framework for studying the movement of the Household of Prophet Muhammad and then begins to analyze their choices as seen in their words and actions, as well as the historical context in which they operated. The book also looks at the great triumph Imam Hussain aimed for and was able to achieve through his movement. By studying the short and long-term effects of the grand tragedy, the book sheds light on Imam Hussain's objectives and achievements and how the remainder of the Household of the Prophet worked to preserve that triumph.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSayyid Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis Eminence Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakeem was born in the Holy City of Najaf in 1934.
