Hussainu minnee wa ana min Al-Hussain Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain He and I are one and the same It was Rasoolullah who pulled out the spear from Ali-Akbar's chest It was Rasoolullah who saw Ali-Asghar ripped from his mother's breast It was Rasoolullah who spent days with no water and no rest Hussainu minnee wa ana min Al-Hussain Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain He and I are one and the same The first is Muhammad, the middle is Muhammad and so is the last What's done is done but let's not repeat the past The end is nigh. Are we ready for the rising and the blast? Oh Fatima, losing Mohsin being crushed by the door was not enough. The aggressors were pretending to be so tough. They wanted the world but its gains are nothing but fluff. Hussainu minnee wa ana min Al-Hussain Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain He and I are one and the same The Ahlulbayt are the lights who show us the way They tell us when we do our duty it's Eid day. Beware! Those who disobeyed left Hussain's body trodden under the sun's ray. Abbas' humility left his children near forgotten. Yet you struggle to fast with hearts so cold, so rotten. Are you serving the One who is not begotten? Zainab went from Kufa to Shaam and saw nothing but beauty. Beauty is what you see in His face doing nothing but your duty. For the Yazids of today. You can keep the war booty. Assalaamu alaa aseeril kurubaat, wa qateelil 'abaraat For your sacrifice, we shed tears as loving friends Intercede for us that our faith remains certain to the end. Hussainu minnee wa ana min Al-Hussain Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain He and I are one and the same

Asalaamualaikum, I am a Sunni Hanafi and I'm very interested in researching Shia schools of thought. For the last couple of years I've been briefly studying the seerah and wallahi I'm always baffled by certain events and the different accounts of these events within the seerah. Examples include Seige of Banu Qurayzah, Conquest of Taif, Conquest of Makkah and The prophet (saw) letters to different monarchs. What are the best Shia Seerah books (in English) that I can read?
