Ashura عاشوراء

Ashura is on the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar and marks the climax of the Remembrance of Muharram. It is commemorated by Shia Muslims as a day of mourning for the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Karbala on 10 Muharram in the year 61 .


It is the sadest day in the year for Shia. It is the day where everybody and everything cries, the sky rains blood, the sun turns into red color, rocks were full of blood, children and women faces full of tears. If this war didn't happen, islam wouldn't have been published in the right form, but thanks to Allah and to Imam Hussain Islam was safe and it's expanded for many years in the right form.


Oman has celebrated this day with tears and reading Shia poems (nohiyat) by Lawatia and Ajam. Here is a video to show you how was this day celebrated by Lawatia.
