The aim of this study is to examine how the Karbala Event is handled in the textbooks currently taught in public schools in Turkey. For this purpose, the textbooks in which Islamic History is taught in Turkey were analyzed. In the study, middle school 6th grade Social Studies, high school 9th grade History and high school 12th grade Islamic History textbooks were analyzed. Data from the books included in the study were obtained through content analysis. In the 6th grade Social Studies textbook, the Four Caliph Period and Umayyad State were discussed within the subject of Islamic history, and the Karbala Incident was not mentioned. In the 9th grade high school history book, it was written that the people and Imam Huseyn opposed to Yazid's continuation of the caliphate, which was the right of Imam Huseyn, and that Imam Husayn was martyred in Karbala with his family and relatives after he refused to accept Yazid's caliphate. It is stated that this bitter event made Muslims very sad and created a public outrage against Yazid and the Umayyad dynasty. It is stated that this event led to the ossification of divisions among Muslims which have continued to this day. Another important point emphasized in the book is that the Karbala Event was effective in the collapse of the Umayyad State. In the High School 12th grade Islamic History textbook, the Karbala Incident is also covered extensively. In the book, the subject is handled from a point of view parallel to the point of view presented in the High School 9th grade History book. In addition, it is argued that the event not only discredited the Umayyads in the eyes of Muslims but also led to the use of it as a propaganda material in all kinds of rebellions against the state. The book also includes many bloody events that took place in the restless environment that emerged after the Karbala Event.
