It never becomes their desire to be so lost in following Imam Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, that they them- selves become Husain, albeit Almighty Allah says that there is no salvation until the moment a person becomes the image of the Prophet.

I openly affirm that the excellences of all the Prophets and Messengers who have passed, can be achieved because the very purpose and goal of their coming was that people should follow their pattern and example.

There were many Divine purposes that 1. And they failed to respect Allah as He should be respected ( S u rah al-An‘ a m, 6:92). [Publisher]
