"Ashura has a rich culture and if the officials of the country fully understand the message of Ashura, the entire system of Senegal will drastically change in the positive sense."
Ashura is well-known because of mourning for the martyrdom of Hossein ibn Ali the grandson of Mohammad, along with 72 members of his family and close friends at the Battle of Karbala in the year 61 AH (AD 680). Yazid I was in power at the time and wanted the Bay'ah (allegiance) of Hossein ibn Ali (AS). Yazid was openly going against the teachings of Islam in public and changing the sunnah of Prophet Mohammad.[6] [7] [8]
