Muharram is a period of religious significance for Shia Muslims across the globe as we commemorate the sacrifice of the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (saw), Hussain ibn Ali (as), in the lands of Karbala.
Muharram is not only centered around sorrow but is also a time of community, unity and harmony, as we reflect on the themes of justice, love, generosity, and compassion to one another and to the Holy Prophet (saw) and his family.
As we begin to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as) during the upcoming months, the administration of SANA humbly requests you observe the etiquettes one should follow while attending the Majlis at Bait ul Qayem.
