Imam Hussein: Husayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib (626 – 680 CE) was the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who was martyred in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. Shi’a view Husayn as a positive role-model of courage and resistance against tyranny. Ashura, a day of mourning, is held in honor of his sacrifice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Hussein
