Muharram In Cities And Villages Of Iran-342 16 (155)
Muḥarram ( ar, ٱلْمُحَرَّم) (fully known as Muharram ul Haram) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year when warfare is forbidden. It is held to be the second holiest month after Ramadan. The tenth day of Muharram is known as Ashura. Better known as part of the Mourning of Muharram, Shi'a Muslims mourn the tragedy of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī's family. Shiites mourn the martyrdom of Ḥusayn by abstaining from joyous events.

Some (excluding children, elderly or sick) do not eat or drink, avoid entertainment unti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
