So al‐Rashid became calm and said: “Return him to al‐Hayr and give to him what Um Musa had
given to him.”[2] Shortly after that al‐Rashid ordered the Holy Shrine and the neighboring houses
to be demolished. He ordered the nabk tree beside the Holy Grave to be uprooted.[3] Moreover
he ordered the land of Kerbela to be plow, that he might efface the traces of the Pure Grave.
However, Allah took vengeance on him. For he died in Khuresan before the end of the year.[4]
Al‐Rashid’s effort failed and his plot came to nothing. Al‐Rashid’s name and glory, and those of the
Umayyad and ‘Abbasid kings, and other than them from among those who showed enmity toward
the master of martyrs, peace be on him, died. However Imam al‐Husayn has remained as a symbol
of immortality. His name is mentioned in all the languages on earth. Millions of Muslims
frequently and in groups visit his Holy Shrine; they hold mourning ceremonies for them. The pure
shrines in Kerbela will remain as immortal symbols for humanity, increase in importance and
greatness throughout the stages of history.
Al‐Husayn will remain on top of honor and glory until Allah inherits the earth and those on it.
