The After-math of Karbala and the Battle of Harrah
Justice to the incident of Karbala can only be done if one looks at it from ten years before the incident and ten years after. This rule in fact applies to all political events. If one studies an event only by looking at the few days during which it occurred, in all probability, one shall accuse a party that has been framed. To find the truth, one needs to search in the past, to see which parties were deeply active in preparing the scene of what had just occurred, and then one has to wait patiently until the future shows which party benefitted the most from what had occurred. In the incident of Hadhrat Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) and Yazid, the past and the future clearly indicate towards the existence of evil forces operating from Iraq, manipulating scenes and instigating one group of sincere men against the other.
When the battle of Karbala ended, many felt that this sad episode in history has now terminated, whereas in reality it was only beginning.
The blood of Hadhrat Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) was taken, so that it could be used as a bait to be dangled in front of the Muslim world, forcing them to once again draw the swords of infighting, which Hadhrat Mu'wiyah (radhiyallahu anhu) had just managed to have sheath.
Before the incident of Karbala, the inhabitants of Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah had accepted Yazid as their ruler, thus very few joined Hadhrat Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) when he left for Iraq. The attitude of the people of Hijaaz however changed after hearing exagerrated stories of what had transpired on the plains of Karbala, from shaytani hypocrites who were streaming in from all sides, each with a story more more dreadful than the one than preceded it.
Just as the Shaytani forces has desired, the fire of infighting had now been rekindled, and talks of rebelling against the caliph could be heard feom all the corners. When Yazid received this news, in accordance to what any leader would do, he too ordered that an army be sent out immediately to suppress the rebellion.
In the battles that occurred thereafter, many illustrious figures lost their lives, and shaytani forces, after having painted the scenes of these battles in the ugliest of ways, could now spread out into the Muslim lands fully armed with the propaganda required to make the Muslim world rebel against the Ummayyad Caliphate. After the painted images of Yazid's cruelty in Karbala, followed by the massacres he had caused in Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah, there was now no way anyone could stand in support of Yazid. The time was now ripe for shaytani forces to cry for revenge and go out in full force to tear the caliphate to the ground.
To spearhead this shaytani movement, the devil that Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) had labelled as the dajjal of Thaqeef, i.e. Mukhtar ibn Abu Ubaid Thaqafi, was now ready to rise. However, before proceedin with Mukhtar's rise against the caliphate, it would indeed seem appropriate to shed some light on the battles that occurred in Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawaarah, between the army of Yazid and the inhabitants of these two holy lands.
When the details of these battles are read from the surface level, one can easily be forgiven if he starts hating Yazid and his entire army, since the love of Madinah Munawwarah and its inhabitants is a trait which has been ingrained within the hearts of every believer and is the case with the love for Hadhrat Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu). However, when deeper investigation is done, a picture starts to emerge, completely different from what has over the years been understood.
In describing the battle that had occurred against the inhabitants of Madinah Munawwarah, famously known as 'the battle of Harrah', shaytani elements went one step further in adding spice to what was already a hot curry, with some taking the bold step to spoil the pages of history with such filthy lies, the likes of which perhaps no other leader or army has been ever accused of.
