Martyrdom

Shariati says: In order to understand martyrdom, first the school of thought or maktab must become clear in which martyrdom, in that maktab, makes sense, martyrdom, in that way of thinking, can be explained and martyrdom, in this particular ideology, finds value. That consists of a school in which Husayn is one of the manifestations; a maktab which is generated in the course of history, in the battle of history, in the story of humanity, In the various fronts, generations and ages, throughout history, from the beginning until the present moment, and continues into the future, in which Husayn is a standard bearer of this battle and his Karbala is a scene among the scenes of this continuous, singular battle.
