Talk:Yazid I

The Absolute lack of Islamic Scholars in the page, leaves untold amount of questions here.
I understand the bias of anti-ummayad scholars in Islam and bias against the Yazid I's legacy, but it will be much wiser to add a separate heading of scholars, aka Anti-Ummayyad, who describe his account different. It will be better than absolutely silenting the whole segment. Alongside, the Legacy portion needs cleanup. Also there is a lack of accounts from any Islamic or Muslim scholars of the time in the legacy section. Mr Joji0 (talk) 04:58, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * We do have a section on that and It is not based on the views of man on the street but on the views of Muslim scholars and historians (Ghazali, Khomayni, Ibn al-Jawizi, Baladhuri, Ibn Asakir. So there is no "Absolute lack of Islamic Scholars in the page" nor does the article "leave untold amount of questions here". AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 14:26, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Inaccurate Information, Please Review and Adjust Using Proper Sources
This page has minimized the tragedy that was the Battle of Karbala and seems to dissociate Yazid I from the crimes he had committed. For example, the current page says that Husayn's fanily who were taken "captive" were freed "a few days later". This is blatantly incorrect and insulting to the tribulations and horrors they had to face. In reality, the family (Mostly women, children, and Husayn's eldest son Ali) were dragged in chains behind horses and camels on foot to Kufa, where they were paraded in the streets as "khawarij", then brought to the court of Ibn Ziyad. They were then forcefully pushed forward even further to Damascus, where they were imprisoned and had to witness Yazid beating the severed head of Husain with a stick as he boasted about how he had finally won, while insulting the family of the Prophet and Islam as a whole. So no, they were not "freed after a few days", they were held captive and tortured, beaten, pelted with stones, ogled, and even killed for TWO YEARS prior to being freed as the people began to waken and realize what Yazid had done. This is an example of just one inaccuracy in this page. So please, instead of saying that you have "used works from renowned islamic scholars", make use of true historic accounts of Karbala, and Yazid I. Some notable works I recommend referencing are Maqtal-al-Husayn, as well as the literal thousands of articals on Al-Islam.org. I would avoid the usage of Sunni or foreign sources for anything relating to Yazid and Karbala - the Shia have documented this much more extensively and reliably, as the mourning of Al-Husayn and his family is an integral part of their faith and culture. Please fix your errors and use actual, reliable sources. Thank you. 2607:FEA8:5BA1:4800:C15F:4F89:7F1C:5BD7 (talk) 07:03, 30 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I completely agree with this comment. The family of Imam Hussain was treated in the most inhumane manner, as outlined above. I would request the wikipedia team to refer to the book "Maqtal al-Husayn" which is a historical narrative that describes the events of the Battle of Karbala and the aftermath. It provides insights into the treatment of prisoners, particularly the surviving members of Imam Hussein's family, who were taken captive after the battle. This source is significant for understanding the events from a Shia Muslim perspective. I am not really a wikipedian as may not be the best at writing on such an important topic and hence bringing it to notice to the wikipedia team. 110.226.179.41 (talk) 08:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

It is more historically accurate to have the fact that Husayn was murdered than that he just died 82.197.209.4 (talk) 23:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

 * The cause of death was not considered old age or accidental—correct?

H. Lammens's source is very outdated
I had a friend who told me the sources by H. Lammens are outdated. Specifically on the Islamic Jurisprudences opinion on cursing Yazid; like saying Hanbalis oppose cursing him, even though the founder himself cursed him in a fatwa he wrote, calling out his war crimes, and even popular Shafi jurists curse Yazid too. 39.60.214.46 (talk) 11:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
