He was the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the son of Ali, the first Imam, and the fourth Caliph, and Muhammad's daughter Fatima Zahra.
Hussein ibn Ali is revered as a martyr who fought tyranny, as the third Imam by most Shi’a Muslims, and as the second Imam by the majority of Ismaili Shi'a Muslims.
He refused to pledge alligiance to Yazid I, the Umayyad caliph. He rose up to found a regime that would reinstate a “true” Islamic polity as opposed to what he considered the unjust rule of the Umayyads. As a consequence, Husayn was killed and beheaded in the Battle of Karbala in 680 (61AH) by Shimr Ibn Thil-Jawshan. The anniversary of his martyrdom is called Ashura and it is a day of mourning and religious observance for all Muslims.
Revenge for Husayn's death was turned into a rallying cry that helped undermine the Umayyad caliphate and gave impetus to the rise of a powerful Shia movement
