Holy Ashura

Muslims all over the world will observe the holy Ashura with due religious solemnity, commemorating the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hossain (RA), grandson of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), On this day, 10th Muharram in the Hijri year 61, Hazrat Imam Hossain (RA) along with his family members and close relations were entrapped by Yazid's forces and later embraced martyrdom in Karbala after battling for long hours. Karbala is a city in Iraq, located about 100 km southwest of Baghdad.  About 1332 years back, Imam Hossain (RA) had to make supreme sacrifice to uphold the spirit of Islam and the teachings of the Great Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). Besides, this day is very important day in human history and has been observed as a major sacred day by Muslims for reasons obvious which were mentioned briefly in the holy Quarn as well as elaborately in the Hadith. Muslims believe that Almighty Allah has created the Earth on this day and the 'Qiamat Day (The Day of Last Judgement)' will happen on this date. Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) got relief from the 'Fire-Den' of Nomrud (who declared himself as the creator of the world) and Prophet Hazrat Yunus (AS) was also released from the grab of big fish by the grace of the Creator. This day is a symbol of sacrifice to uphold the spirit of truth and justice in the eye of Islam.
