This book contains the best compilation of the authentic events that occurred before, during and after the Battle of Karbala. The author thoroughly purged history books and selected the most reliable narration in order to construct a clear image of Al-Husayn's Holy uprising. Sayyed Abd Al-Razzaq examined each and every narration and strictly rejected whatever contradicted logic and basic common sense.

This book is composed of an exquisite and intellectual introduction, followed by the story of Karbala. In this book, Sayyed Abd Al-Razzaq documented the details that pertained to Ashura sequentially.
