Hazrat Abul Fazl Al-Abbas (a.s.) was a towering and handsome personality. His dauntless courage, supreme confidence

and unflinching loyalty earned him many titles. He was called, "Qamar-e-

Bani Hashim" (Moon of the Hashimites), because of his imposing

appearance. His remarkable horsemanship made him "Sayed-ul-

Forosan" (the chief of horsemen). >>

>> His ability to lead people resulted in his being called "Rais-ul-Shujan" (the leader of

the valiant), and the manner in which he sacrificed his life earned him the title of Afzal-ul-Shohada" (the choicest of the martyrs) and "Saqqa" (water carrier),

because he sacrificed his life in an effort to procure water for Imam Hussain's children

in the tragic battle of Kerbala. He fully lived up to his name Abbas, which in Arabic

stands for Lion.
