Our condolences to all the believers upon the martyrdom of the third divinely appointed Imam, Imam Husayn (A), his family members, and his companions.

This year, for the months of Muharram and Safar, sister Zainab Barakat brings us special episodes of Today I Thought that pivot around certain fundamental ideas within the great epic of Karbala.

In this episode, sister Zainab Barakat speaks about the integral role of women in this epic of Karbala, why Imam Husayn (A) took the womenfolk with him, and finally what would have happened to the mission of Imam Husayn (A), if it weren\'t for a courageous, honorable, and modest woman by the name of lazy Zaynab bint Ali (A).

Islam owes the survival of its essence to the great sacrifice of not only Imam Husayn (A), but to the great sacrifice of all those around him.

Salutations be upon Husayn, upon Ali ibn al-Husayn, upon the children of Husayn, and upon the companions of Husayn.
