Imam Husayn(A.S.):The
Doyen of the Martyrs, The Grandson of the Holy Prophet of Islam(S.A.W.),The
Chief of the Youth of Paradise who saved Islam from complete destruction by his
great sacrifice at the battlefield of Karbala. Honouring the memories of Imam Husayn(A.S.) and 72 great
martyrs of Karbala who saved Islam by sacrificing their
lives at the battlefield of Karbala(Iraq) on Ashura,
10th Muharram 61 Hijrah is in accordance with the
command of the Holy Prophet of Islam(S.A.W.). On 20th Safar, 61 A.H. the aggrieved Ahlul Bayt(A.S.)
arrived in Karbala after their release from the Yazid's prison in Damascus exactly on Arba'een
day.[forty days after the martyrdom of Imam Husayn(A.S.)].They
wept bitterly, mourned and raised heart rending cries at the holy graves of
Imam Husayn(A.S.) and other martyrs of Karbala. The women from the surrounding villages
also joined them in mourning. Ahlul Bayt(A.S.)
engaged themselves in heart rending and sorrowful mourning until three days
were passed in this manner. After three days of mourning as per the
instructions of Imam Sajjad(A.S.) they departed from Karbala to Madinah. Thus,all the truth and
freedom loving Muslims and people in the world and Shi'ites
in particular commemorate the Arba'een Husayni(A.S.) by conducting Majaalis(mourning
ceremonies) and processions throughout the world.
