کتاب Secrets behind visiting Karbala اثر Ayatollah Sayid Sadiq Hussaini Shirazi نشر انتشارات انصاریان

All praise is due to Allah Almighty, and may the prayers be bestowed upon Mohammad and his pure progeny, along with the severest curses upon their enemies until the Day of Judgment. Indeed, the love of Imam Hussain (a.s) is present in the heart of every Shi'i Muslim, and that the mystery behind the permanence of Shi'ism is its inspiration from the principles of the incident which took place in the holy land of Karbala on the day of Ashuraa'. There are four people who are known to be better than Imam Hussain (a.s). These being his grandfather, the Messenger of Allah Almighty (saww), his father Imam Ali (a.s), his mother Fatimatul Zahra (a.s) and his brother Imam Hassan (a.s). Imam Hussain (a.s) stated in Karbala: "My grandfather is better than me, my father is better than me, my mother is better than me and my brother is better than me, and for me and every Muslim is an excellent example in the Messenger of Allah Almighty".
