He has been asked : "What problems did you encounter in finding the poems related to Imam Hussein in English?"

Mr Fakhr Rouhani explained in answer that When non-Muslims encounter Imam Hussein , they do not have an Islamic approach and point of view. For example, they pay attention to the outstanding human traits of him. they say: Imam Hussein is the manifestation of humanity and his enemies could not fully tolerate Imam's perfect worldview. but we ( as Shi'is raise the subject of Imam Hussein internally and believe that Imam Hussein intended to guide people, but some did not want to be guided. It is a completely different perspective.
