A brief overview of a lesser-known chapter of Islamic history where Yazid I lay siege to the Holy City of Medina and also razed the Holy Kabah to the ground. There are some who attempt to justify Yazid’s actions, many of whom are Saudi-affiliated ideologues that perpetuate the Takfiri Wahhabi doctrine. But it is clear that Yazid was an enemy of Islam and Muslims. After the tragic events of Karbala, where Yazid massacred the family of the Holy Prophet (S), the tyrannical king went on to invade Medina and Mecca according to historical evidence. It is difficult to deny that the true motivations of Yazid, the Son of Muawiyyah, were to annihilate Islam and the Ahlulbayt (A) of the Holy Prophet (S).
