Abbas ibn Ali (658-696 AD) was the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first Shia Imam, and a prominent figure in early Islamic history. He was known for his courage and bravery, and played a significant role in the Battle of Karbala, where his half-brother, Imam Husayn ibn Ali, and most of his family and followers were killed by the Umayyad army.
Abbas was the standard-bearer of Husayn’s army in the Battle of Karbala and was known for his courage and bravery. He fought bravely during the battle, but was ultimately killed while trying to get water for the thirsty children and women of Husayn’s camp. He is highly respected and revered by Shia Muslims as the “Lion of God” and the “Hero of Karbala” for his bravery and sacrifice during the battle.
His death is remembered and honored every year during the annual Shia mourning ritual of Ashura. His tomb is located in Karbala, Iraq, alongside the tomb of his half-brother Imam Husayn, and is a place of pilgrimage for Shia Muslims.
Abbas is also known for his kindness and generosity towards the poor and the oppressed, and is considered as a symbol of selflessness, loyalty, and devotion to the cause of justice.
