Husayn's death at Karbala is believed by Shi'as to be a sacrifice made to prevent the corruption of Islam by tyrannical rulers and to protect its ideology.[105] He is, as such, believed to have been fully aware of his fate and the outcome of his revolt, which was divinely ordained.[106] He is thus remembered as the prince of martyrs (Sayyed al-Shuhada).[104] The historian G. R. Hawting describes the Battle of Karbala as a "supreme" example of "suffering and martyrdom" for Shi'as.[101] According to Abdulaziz Sachedina, it is seen by Shi'as the climax of suffering and oppression, revenge for which came to be one of the primary goals of many Shi'a uprisings.
