Video: 11th of Muharram anniversary of departure of Ahlul Bayt captives from Karbala

Caravan of Captives includes those members of Ahl al-Bayt and families of martyrs of Karbala who were captured after martyrdom of Imam Hussain at battle of Karbala. They were taken to Ibn Ziad’s court in Kufa and then to Yazid’s court in Damascus. On this journey, the fiery sermons of captives, in particular sermons of Zaynab and Imam Sajjad, spread true message of Imam Hussain’s uprising and wakened unaware souls of people. These brave speeches turned the gathering of Yazid in favor of Ahl al-Bayt.
