The killing of Muhammad's grandson Husayn caused widespread outcry among Muslims and the image of Yazid suffered greatly.[74] It also helped crystallize opposition to Yazid into an anti-Umayyad movement based on Alid aspirations,[75] and contributed to the development of Shi'a identity,[44] whereby the party of Alid partisans was transformed into a religious sect with distinct rituals and memory. After the Battle of Karbala, Shi'a imams from Husayn's line adopted the policy of political quietism.[76]
