Sample Questions – Ḥusayn (RA)
10-mark: Write about the martyrdom of Ḥusayn at Karbalāʾ and its significance.
4-mark: What lessons can Muslims learn from Ḥusayn’s courage?
In 680 CE, Ḥusayn and his small group of followers were massacred at Karbalāʾ. His martyrdom
became a symbol of sacrifice for justice and truth. His legacy inspired Muslims for generations.
Ḥusayn lived through the early struggles of Islam and was known for his bravery and devotion.
When Yazīd became ruler, Ḥusayn refused to pledge allegiance to him, seeing his rule as unjust.
He set out for Kūfa but was intercepted at Karbalāʾ.
Ḥusayn’s sacrifice teaches the importance of standing for truth even against overwhelming odds,
and that faith may demand the ultimate sacrifice.
