The majority of the orientalists who have spoken about the reasons of Imam Husein's revolt (peace be upon him) diagnosed that reformation was the main motive for the revolt, and Imam Husein (peace be upon him) had adopted reformation as a motto for his revolt; few orientalists have deviated from this opinion whose view of no considerable importance. In the course of their narration of the Huseini revolt, the orientalists have written the events of the revolution and its proceedings as it was mentioned in most of the authentic Arabian sources; a great many orientalists have been distinctive in their pointing out Yazid's reality through exposing his malignity against Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him an upon his kins) and against his kins (Peace be upon them) that those orientalists have pointed out Yazid's seeking for vengeance from the Prophet (Peace be upon him an upon his kins) by killing his grandson, Imam Husein (peace be upon him), and taking his family as captives. Many orientalists see this revolution as an introduction for a new era of revolutions against the Umayyad authority after the martyrdom of Imam Husein (peace be upon him) had inflamed the blaze of those revolutions that it led to a significant result toppling the Umayyad state and doing away with it. There has been a consensus among the orientalists that none of the human epics whether in the old history or in the modern one along with its downfalls has obtained a similar admiration and empathy.
