In the Battle of Karbala (680 CE), al-Husayn ibn Ali,

and a small group of his followers was killed by Yazid I,
the caliph of the Umayyads, who sent a much larger army.
This has religious significance for the city of Karbala.
Husayn’s tomb in the city is a central Shi’i shrine and
a big part of the annual Arba’een pilgrimage,
which happens 40 days after Husayn’s death
is remembered.

Shi’i Muslims believe that a grave in one of the many cemeteries
in the city is a sure way to get to heaven.

ties with their Iranian counterparts.
