The festival of Muharram is celebrated in memory of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his followers. Imam Hussein was the grandson of Prophet Mohammad of Messenger of Allah (Messenger). This is the first month of the Hijri Samvat.
Muharram is a month in which Shia Muslims celebrate the ten days of Imam Hussein. To know why the festival is celebrated with Muharram, we will have to go back to Islamic history, when there was a trend of Khilafat in Islam.
Who is Shia Muslim?
At the date of Islam, the main leader of the entire world, ie the Khalifa. In this way four Khalifa was chosen after the Prophet Mohammad. By deciding among themselves, people chose Khalifa for the sake of administration, security, etc. to any qualified person. Those who chose Hazrat Ali as his Imam (Dharmaguru) and Khalifa, they are called Shi'ni Ali ie Shi'i.
Shia means that the supporters of Hazrat Ali In contrast, Sunni people are the people who consider the choice of the four Caliphs right.
Yajeed made himself Khalifa
After nearly 50 years of Muhammad Saheb's Wafaat (persecution from the world), there was a time of atrocious torture in the Islamic world. Far from Mecca, Syrian Governor Yazid declared himself Khalifa. The method of Yajid was like the emperors. Then Islam was not accustomed to it. In Islam, there is no imagination of Rajshahi. Allah is considered the only 'King' of the earth. Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed, sitting in Mecca, refused to accept Yazid as Caliph.
As soon as he came to power, Yajid wrote to Madina's governor Valid son Atu, "Do you call Imam Hussein to follow my order and bring the principles of Islam to the attention. If he does not accept it, then cut the head of Imam Hussein and send it to me.
Valid son Atuva called Hazrat Imam Hussain at Raj Bhavan on the night of 25 or 26 Rajab 60 hijri in the night. He told them the order of Yazid. Imam Hussain said to Walid, "I can not follow the commands of Yajid who do not believe in an adulterous, corrupt and insincere Rasool."
After this, Imam Hussain reached Mecca Sharif so that Hajj could complete the journey. But there too Imam Hussain Sahib was not allowed to rest. Yazid sent his soldiers to make Hussein a passenger.
Imam Hussain came to know that Yazid sent soldiers to kill him. Mecca is such a holy place, where any kind of murder is haram. This is a principle of Islam.
Considering that there is no blood clot in Mecca, Hussein paid a sub-tradition of Hajj, which is called Islamically Umraara. Hazrat Hussain then went to Iraq with his family.
Muharram reached the Karbala along with his family and friends. He kept telling the army of Yazid to the 9th day about Islamic principles, but his words did not affect the army.
When he did not believe, then Imam Hussein said, "Give me a night's respite, so that I may worship Allah. Yazid's forces gave Hussein a night's delay. That night is called 'Asur's Night'.
Hazrat Imam Hussein Sahib worshiped Allah all night with his family and companions. On the 10th day of Muharram, the commander of Yazid, Omar Bin Saad, left an arrow saying, "I have run the arrow first." Then the battle started.
71 followers of Hussein were killed in the war. Only they left the field alone. Listening to the noise in the camp, he went there and noticed that his 6-month-old child was helpless to Ali Asghar Thaas. He picked up the child in his own hands and brought him to the field-A-Karbala.
Hussein told the soldiers of Yazid that give the child a little water. But in return, an arrow came from the side of the army and on the child's throat. The child lost his temper in the hands of the father.
After this, hunger and thirsty Hazrat Imam Hussein Sahib was killed for three days. Hazrat Imam Hussein sacrificed his life for Islam and humanity.
Religious Festival Festival of Asur Shi'a is a festival of Muslims. The capital of Iraq is the Shia pilgrimage site located in Karbala in the southwest of Baghdad. Here are the pilgrimage sites of Imam Hussein and Imam Abbas.
