Abbas (a.s) in Karbala

The peerless presence of Abbas (a.s) in the incident of Aashurah has converged him into a meritorious figure. Abbas (a.s) became satisfied that he is entering the battle on the right path by asking his brother and when Imam Husain (a.s) gave the option to his companions to go or stay, the first one who spoke and opted to stay was Abbas (a.s).
The entire beingness of Abbas (a.s) was the loyalty while his great father had kept him in mind for such a day. Abbas (a.s) stood elated in this Divine check while his name was calling out the loyalty, perseverance and resistance against the enemies of the right. Subsequently to the success of Abbas (a.s) and his brothers in this great test, there came along another greater exam and it was the safe-conduct brought by Shimmar-bin-Ziljoshan for them while Abbas’s (a.s) incisive reply defeated all the enemy’s stratagem and futile their efforts, this time too.
Abbas (a.s) has shown the most magnificent manifestations of sacrifice and devotion in Karbala and ransomed his valued life for his faith and objective, while his peremptory devotion and loyalty for Imam of his times exhibited most evidently in Karbala too.
