Imam Husayn (عليه السلام), holds a revered position in the hearts of Muslims, more specifically in Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. He was the beloved grandson of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the son of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) and Sayyidah Fatimah az-Zahra (عليه السلام), and the younger brother of Imam Hassan (عليه السلام) . Born in 4 AH (626 CE) in Madinah, Imam Husaynn عليه السلام was known for his piety, courage, and unwavering commitment to justice. Ahlus Sunnah recognize him as one of the leaders of the youth of Paradise, as affirmed in the hadith of the Rasoolallah ﷺ

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Abu Rashid that Ya'la bin Murrah told them that: They had gone out with the Prophet to a meal to which they had been invited, and Husain was there playing in the street. The Prophet came in front of the people and stretched out his hands, and the child started to run here and there. The Prophet made him laugh until he caught him, then he put one hand under his chin and the other on his head and kissed him, and said, "Husain is part of me and I am part of him. May Allah love those who love Husain. Husain is a tribe among tribes."

When Al-Hussein’s head was placed in his killer's hands, and Abu Barzah was with him and while Imam Husayn's killer was poking him with a stick, he said to him: “Raise it up.” for I saw the Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace, kiss it (his head).
