Abstract

Farewell is about a historical tragedy that happens about October 10, 680. when Hussein-ibn-Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, refused Yazid s demand for allegiance to his caliphate (kingdom). so Yazid s army surrounds Hussein-ibn-Ali and all of his family in a desert called Karbala and doesn t let them drink water for about 3 days! after that in a day called Ashura Yazid s army fight with Hussein-ibn-Ali and the 72 men that defending him and his family. they killed him and all of his loyal men brutally including his 6-month-old baby! Hussein-ibn-Ali (PBUH) sacrificed his life and his family s life for the sake of the truth and justice and to show the true face of Yazid and his men to the world. This animation is about the last moments, before the martyrdom of Hussein-ibn-Ali when he says farewell to his sister Zaynab and his 3 years old daughter Roghaye. We all know that in many media they will talk bad things about Islam and Muslims but the main side of Islam is peace, brotherhood, equality, justice, and to love each other. something like ISIS has nothing to do with Islam and what prophet Muhammad teaches us. ISIS is an ideology that will come from Yazid and his dynasty, sadly we can see those harmful thoughts in all history and in every religion and every turn of history. we should fight with those ISIS-like thoughts with proper attractive media like animations and games, and that s why we make Farewell. Mahatma Gandhi: I learned from Hussain how to achieve victory while being oppressed. My faith is that the progress of Islam does not depend on the use of sword by its believers, but the result of the supreme sacrifice of Hussain.
