Dear Mourners of Imam Hussein,

We all know the significance of the month of Muharram and Day of Ashura. The day when the Prophet’s family was tortured, kept thirsty and then butchered on the plains of Karbala in 61 AH, just fifty years after the Prophet died.

So why is it that 1,400 years after the event, Muslims & even Non-Muslims remember this event with more and more fervor and what is it in the message of Imam Hussein that encourages his followers to carry on spreading his message

Have we ever spent time to investigate the merits of Imam Hussein uprising & his martyrdom? How many of his sayings do we know? Let us all hold onto him and be not divided, and stand up against injustice,

Muharram and Ashura is a time to reflect, take stock and see if we are walking in the footsteps of Imam Hussein. The lectures we attend, the majaalis, create introspection, create love and create brotherhood.

With deepest condolences on the coming of Ashura event.

Thank you for reading .
