                     "If anyone disputes with you about it (your prophet
                  hood)  after  the  knowledge  has  come  to  you,  say,
                  'Come,  let  us  bring  our  sons  and  your  sons  and  our

                  women and your women and ourselves and yourselves
                  and pray to Allah to curse the lying party."
                     The  noble  verse  called  Hassan  and  Hussein  "our
                  sons," mentioned the Prophet Muhammad, and referred
                  to Ali as "ourselves" and Fatimah as "our women." She
                  symbolizes the whole of womankind in this verse. Had
                  there  been  other  people  who  had  higher  status  than
                  these  people,  the  Holy  Prophet  certainly  would  have
                  brought them along with him.

                       (The Holy Quran: Surat Ash-Shura, Verse 23)
                     "...say: 'I do not ask you f or any  payment f or my
                  preaching to you, except the love f or my relatives...'"
                  Conclusion
                  Muslims must learn from the life of Imam Hussein and
                  also from his death, he is an example and role model in
                  Generosity,  good  character,  steadfastness  on  the  right
                  and sacrifice.
                     He  deserved  that  high  status  in  the  world  and  the
                  Hereafter, The reason is that high
