| About Ashura |
| The event marks two days mourning on the death anniversary of Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad's Grandson on 9th and 10th of Moharram, the first month of Islamic Calendar. Husayn and over a hundred of his followers, many of whom were family of Muhammad, were slain in the Battle of Karbala. For Shia Muslims in particular, this is a day of mourning, expressed in a more dramatic fashion than the Sunnis. |
