Muharram
by Deepbrata Dutta
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and is significant for Muslims worldwide. It is a time of reflection, mourning, and remembrance, particularly for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. During this month, Muslims gather in mosques and processions to commemorate the tragic events of Karbala, where Imam Hussain and his companions were brutally martyred. The atmosphere is filled with grief and sorrow as believers express their love and devotion for the Ahlulbayt (the family of the Prophet). Muharram pictures capture the essence of this solemn occasion, depicting scenes of mourning, prayer, and devotion. These images remind Imam Hussain and his followers of the sacrifices, inspiring believers to uphold the values of justice, compassion, and righteousness in their own lives.
