Yom Ashura or Ashura is the tenth day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar. It marks the day that Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, was martyred in the Battle of Karbala.
It was in the 7 Bait al Moqaddas Operation that we found out the meaning of thirst. We felt the meaning of Karbala and thirst of Imam Hussain (AS) and his family in that operation.
Iranian Interior Ministry Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli criticized the western media outlets for censorship and negligence towards the Arbaeen pilgrimage to Karbala in Iraq as the largest religious gathering in the world.
The city of Karbala witnessed special ceremony to renew the flag of the Imam Hussein (AS) holy Shrine, on the first night of the lunar month of Muharram every year.
