"Imam Hussain (AS) wrote to the rest of his family, stating that whoever followed him amongst his family would be martyred, and whoever refused would not achieve the grand victory. The question here is, what is that grand victory? It is martyrdom, indeed. If not for the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS), for instance, if the Imam had followed the ruler, following a ruler would have been established as the norm, and the religion (Islam) would have been no more. Whenever someone objected to wrongdoings, people would query him, "Are you better than Hussain? What was his final stand? He followed the ruler. Hence, you should also follow the rulers." However, when Imam Hussain (AS) was left with the alternative to either follow the ruler or give up his life, the Imam opted to give up his life rather than follow the ruler."
