Ashura

Dear Readers, salam aleikum.

On the 10th of Muharram we remember the tragedy of Imam Hussain (a.s.) on the plains of Karbala, it is good to wear black this period to show that we are mourning for this the King of Martyrs, the Saviour of Islam, the grandson of the Prophet (a.s.). Wearing red in this period symbolizes the enemies of the Prophet and his Household, the Ahlalbait (a.s.). Also celebrating in this period is a symbol of the opposition of the 14 Infallible Ones (a.s.). Below I will post a link to the story of the brutal bloodshed of Karbala.

The Night Before the Tenth

This tragedy makes us remember that without the bravery and strength displayed by the Holy Family Members of the Prophet (a.s.) and the help of Allah (swt), Islam would have been corrupted forever by the enemies of peace. Insha'Allah we will remember this tragedy with pain in our hearts, but with a clear message in our heads. That message being that; even during this bloody battle and days long thirst the Islamic soldiers fulfilled their prayer timely and displayed great strength and loyalty to Allah. We should try and achieve the same Iman every day.
For every day is Ashura and every place is Karabala.

Peace be upon you Oh Hussain, may our remembrance of your great sacrifice bring us all closer to Allah (swt), insha'Allah
