Ashura
About “Ashura”:
Ashura, also more formally as the Day of Ashura, is a day of commemoration in Islam. It occurs annually on the tenth of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. For Shia Muslims, Ashura is a day of mourning as they annually commemorate the death of Husayn, grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia Imam. Husayn's suffering and martyrdom are viewed by Muslims a symbol of sacrifice in the struggle for right against wrong, and for justice and truth against injustice and falsehood. Husayn and his companions are regarded as martyrs by all Muslim denominations.
