Abstract | ||
This is an attempt to explore all that is related to the term, Karbala with all that it implies of religious and ethnic meanings Karbala is not an accidental happening in the Islamic history , but rather it is considered a great turning point which requires an extensive study . The attempt to explicate the relation between two angles and to establish a compromise between them may help us fill the gap which continues to extend due to the prevail of the political effects the area witnesses . Finding out and the ability of being acquainted with this gap and also identifying its features will abridge the distance of conflict and tension which the Islamic thinking witnesses in this crucial stage of our contemporary history . The first requirement to explicate and explore a subject such as this is to clearly show the difference between Karbala , the civilization and history and Karbala , the Islam . The formation of this area in such a way came to represent two sides of paradox , the existence and the attitude . This paper consisted of an introduction , a preliminary and two sections . Section one dealt with Karbala as a linguistic term and its etymology and derivation . Section two tackled Karbala in the ancient Iraq civilization . That was followed by a conclusion including the most important results | ||
