Ahl-ul-Bayt Devotees in Tanzania Mourn Imam Hussein’s Martyrdom

IQNA – The devotees of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) in Tanzania, like Shia Muslims elsewhere in the world, held mourning rituals on the anniversary of Imam Hussein’s (AS) martyrdom.

The Tanzanian Shias organized processions on Tuesday and Wednesday, marking the days of Tasu’a and Ashura. 

Also attending the processions were Shia Muslims from India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran and other countries.

Addressing the mourners, Sheikh Nour Muhammad, a cleric from Britain, described the uprising of Imam Hussein (AS) as an inspiring movement whose aim was justice.

He noted that the inspiring effects of the movement were not limited to a certain geography but touched hearts and minds across the world.

Hojat-ol-Islam Jalala was another cleric who delivered a speech at the one of the processions, speaking about the status of Imam Hussein (AS) and the outcomes of his uprising.

Ashura is the tenth day of Muharram, the first month in the lunar Hijri calendar.

Shia Muslims, and others in different parts of the world, hold ceremonies every year in Muharram to mourn the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions.

The third Shia Imam (AS) and a small group of his followers and family members were martyred by the tyrant of his time - Yazid Bin Muawiya, in the battle of Karbala on Ashura in the year 680 AD.
