An Analytical Examination of Imam Hossein's Revolution, from the Perspective of Shiite Kalām

In this article, the authors provide an analytical assessment of the 'Ashura event, without focusing on the details. For this purpose, four elements of devotion to God, revolution, defense, and reform are considered, while the attention has been paid to the social and cultural background of Imam's uprising and the rationality behind it. A rationalistic approach to the 'Ashura uprising has been followed in this paper, emphasizing doctrinal and kalami viewpoints.
