Ali Akbar had a loud beautiful voice. It was he who always recited adhaan. On the morning of Ashura day Ali Akbar recited adhaan. Every one knew that it was the last time they would hear Ali Akbar's adhaan. Imam Hussain began to weep when Ali Akbar began his Adhaan. The ladies could also be heard crying in their tents. The Day of Aashurah, sometimes spelled ‘Ashurah or Aashoorah, falls on the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar. ...

After the morning prayers Ali Akbar stood in front of Imam Hussain. He said, "Father I request for permission to go and fight the enemies of Islam." Imam looked at his son lovingly. He said, "Akbar, you have my permission. May Allah be with you! But Akbar, you know how much your mother, sisters and aunts love you. Go and say farewell to them. "Ali Akbar went into the tent of his mother. Every time he wanted to come out of the tent the mother, aunts and sisters would pull his cloak and say, "O Akbar, How can we live without you?" Finally Imam Hussain had to go in and plead with all to let Ali Akbar go.

Imam helped his youthful son to mount the horse. As Akbar began to the ride towards the battlefield, he heard foot steps behind. He looked back and saw his father. He said, "Father, we have said good-bye. Why are you walking behind him?" Hussain replied, "My son, had you been a father of a son like you, you would surely have understood!”

Ali Akbar fought very bravely. No one dared come close to him in single combat after he had killed many well known warriors. Umar ibn-e-Sa'ad ordered his soldiers to finish off the young man saying, "When he dies, Hussain will not want to live! Ali Akbar is the life of Hussain." While a few soldiers attacked Ali Akbar another (Haseen ibn-e-Nameer) slowly crept up to him and threw a spear at his chest with such ferocity that it penetrated his chest and he felt faint. As he was falling from his horse, he cried out. "O Father, my last salaams to you!" As he hit the ground the spear broke but the blade remained lodged in Akbar's chest.

When our Imam heard Akbar's salaam he looked at Furaat where Hazrat Abbas lay and said, 'Abbas! Now that this brother of yours needs you most, where have you gone?' With all his strength sapped by the anguish in Akbar's voice, Imam Hussain began to walk towards the battle-field.

Now let us go back to Karbala. When Imam Hussain got to where Akbar lay he took him in his arms. Akbar had his right hand on the chest. He placed his left arm over the shoulder of his father. Hussain said "Akbar, why do you embrace me with one arm only?" Akbar would not reply. Hussain tried to move Akbar's hand. Akbar resisted. Imam gently moved the hand. Then he saw it! He saw the blade of the spear. Imam Hussain laid Ali Akbar on the ground and sitting on his knees he put both his hands on the blade of the spear.
