TEHRAN, Jul. 26 (MNA) – On the eighth night of the holy Islamic month of Muharram, Shia Muslims held a mourning ceremony for Imam Hussein (AS) in Ahvaz City, Khuzestan province.
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. The tenth day of Muharram is known as Ashura. Among Shia Muslims, Ashura is observed through large demonstrations of high-scale mourning as it marks the death of Hussein ibn Ali, the third Imam of Shia, who was martyred during the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE
