Ashura

What is Ashura ?

In the month of Muharram 61 AH (approx. 20 October 680 AD), an event took place in Iraq at a place known as Kerbala on the bank of the river Euphrates. It seemed in those days insignificant from the historical point of view. A large army which had been mobilised by the Umayyad regime besieged a group of persons numbering less than a hundred and put them under pressure to pay allegiance to the Caliph of the time and submit to his authority. The small group resisted and a severe battle took place in which they were all killed.

امام حسین (ع): هیهات منا الذله / ذلت از ما دور است

Imam Hussain pbuh : Far from us is Disgrace

He said: If you do not believe in religion and do not fear the Hereafter ,then at least be free from tyranny and arrogant.

او گفت:مرگ در راه عزّت جز زندگی جاوید، و زندگی با ذلّت جز مرگ بی حیات نیست.

He said:Death with dignity is eternal life and life of humiliation is Death.:
