25Th Muharram Observed With Majalis, Processions Across Kashmir

Aabedin also known as Imam Sajjad, the only male survivor from the household of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) in the Karbala carnage was observed on Monday across Kashmir with Majalis and processions.

Thousands of mourners joined day-long Majalis f9ollowed by processions in Srinagar and other districts to pay tributes to the martyred Imam. Also known as Syed al Sajideen (AS) Imam was the son of Imam Hussain (AS) and was 22 and severely ill during the battle of Karbala. He was later taken prisoner and eventually martyred in Madina on 25th of Muharram 95AH at the age 54 by Caliph Al Waleed bin Marwan.

Syed al Sajideen (AS), despite being extremely unwell, followed the call of his father Imam Hussain (A.S.) when no one was left for his assistance on the day of Ashura. But head of the ravaged caravan lady Zainab (SA) stopped him because he was the only male member of the family of the Prophet (pbuh) left alive.

The largest public gathering on the occasion was held at Shalimar in the Srinagar city outskirts where thousands of black-clad mourners marched beating their chests and reciting soul-stirring elegies for the martyrs of Karbala.

The procession commenced from Chandpora and passed through Arabal and later culminated at Imambargah Gulshan Ali, Shalimar late in the night. Aga Syed Mujtaba Musavi delivered a sermon at the Majlis held at Bagh-e-Zainab.
