The nation observes the ninth of Muharram, which falls on Friday, with the proper seriousness and sanctity to remember the sacrifices made in Karbala by the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) grandson, Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), and his companions.
All of the nation’s major cities and towns will hold procession today in memory of the Karbala martyrs and the Nohas, Taziya, Alam, and Zuljanah. Marshiayas and the throbbing noises of self-flagellation will fill the streets.
