The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Prior to his death, the Umayyad caliph Mu'awiya I appointed his son Yazid as his successor, making the caliphate hereditary.
- Yazid's nomination was contested by Husayn and other notables, and after Mu'awiya died in 680, Yazid demanded allegiance from Husayn and the other dissidents.
- Husayn refused and took refuge in Mecca.
