The Battle of Karbala, reasserted the moral and spiritual in a time when the ‘Amir-ul-Momineen Yazid’ had denigrated the faith beyond recognition. (see below)

Ibn Kathir reports on the character of Yazid:
“Traditions inform us that Yazid loved worldly vices; would drink; listen to music; kept the company of boys with no facial hair; played drums; kept dogs; made frogs, bears and monkeys fight. Every morning he used be intoxicated, and he used to bind monkeys with the saddle of a horse and make the horse run.”
Ibn Sa’d writes in his book, “Tabaqat Al-Kubra” regarding the nature of Yazid: “Abdullah bin Hanzala the Sahaba stated, ‘By Allah we opposed Yazid at the point when we feared that stones would reign down on us from the skies. He was a Fasiq who copulated with his mother, sister and daughters, who drank alcohol and did not offer Salaat.”
