Imam al-Husain. The importance of this place is because of the event
that Imam al-Husain, the grand son of Prophet Muhammad, and his
attendants were martyrized there. Karbala is a plain halting place
with fresh water only but not proper to defend. This place became a
visiting place after the martyrdom of Imam al-Husain, and a city
around the graves of martyrs grew up. In this article, after
mentioning the geography of Karbala, the roots of the name of
Karbala and some features of the event that took place there, the
activities of some states which controlled that region related to
Karbala until the end of the Ottoman reign are going to be taken up
in periods. <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi}
