10 Muharram is the day in the history that is very important in the history of Islam because on that day the battle between Hazrat Imam Husain (Grandson of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).) and the yazeede army was fought. The Muslims traveled a lot of distance to reach Koofa because the people of Koofa were asking Hazrat Imam Husain for the protest against cruel king yazeed. They came there but people of Koofa left them alone in the battle field. There were very difficult conditions to live in.

The place where this battle was fought is known as Karbala; this is a vast desert and had very difficult conditions. Moreover the yazeede army cut off the supply of water on them, this added more to their difficulties. After that, soon they run short of water and their small children were dying to thrust. On the day of Ashura, the youngest Muslim who was martyred was of only 6 months of age.

An important fact in the day of Ashura is that the Muslims did not bend their knees in front of cruel ruler rather than they preferred to die for ALLAH. They were very small army and they had no weapons but yet they fought having firm believed in ALLAH. They did not turn their backs in difficulties though they had many of them because on the day of fight they were thirsty of many days. They are true men of Muslims very brave and strong. Also their ladies, the mothers of Muslims, played very important role in that incident. They sent out their husbands, brothers, fathers and their sons to die for ALLAH. The ladies speak very bravely in front of the cruel king although their men were killed but still they did not frighten. These facts are very much enough for a Muslim to feel proud because a Muslim knows that martyred never dies rather they get their needing from ALLAH.
