History has always witnessed struggle between right and wrong and between truth and falsehood. A conflict on the one side of which Divine Prophets are placed and on the other side stand oppressors and tyrants. What is evident in this confrontation is that the supporters of truth, in every age and era have identical goals, that is monotheism, belief in the Day of Judgment, Pursuit of social justice and removal of oppression. While in the group of wrong doers, there is no unanimity of views or objectives, which at times are contrary to each others as well as self- contradictory.
History is full of accounts of the struggle between truth and falsehood.
Sometimes we see the triumph of justice over oppression, and at other times we see injustice brutally suppressing the righteous people. In the Ashura epic, Imam Hussein and his small group of steadfast companions were martyred in an unequal fight, and the tyrant Yazid thought that he had achieved a victory. When we see how Imam Hussein refused to acknowledge the rule of the Omayyud tyrant Yazid, and how according to the injunctions of the holy Qoran he rose against injustice and oppression, we realize that the enemy is actually vulnerable despite his military power. Therefore superiority in numbers and the military equipment of big powers should not intimidate us, since this apparent might is like foam on sea waters, which the holy Qoran considers it as short lived and of a passing nature. But justice and truth on the other hand are eternal and cannot be obliterated.
