*10 OCTOBER 680*
.
(roughy speaking?)
(‘we wee westerners ‘were still on the silly ‘julian calendar’ way back then)
(“the mourning of muharram” is an important period of ‘mourning’ in the ‘shi’a’ branch of ‘islam’, taking place in ‘muharram’ which is the first month of the ‘islamic calendar’)
(it is also called the “remembrance of ‘muharram'” (arabic: ذكرى محرم or مناسبة محرم))
(many of the ‘events’ associated with the ‘remembrance’ take place in ‘congregation halls’ known as ‘hussainia’)
(the event marks the anniversary of the ‘battle of karbala’ when ‘imam husayn ibn ali’ (a ‘grandson’ of ‘muhammad’ (founder of ‘islam’) and a ‘shia imam’ were killed by the forces of the 2nd ‘umayad caliph’ (‘yazid I’))
(the event is marked by arranging ‘majalis’ (aka ‘gatherings’) to review ‘islamic teachings’ and to commemorate husayn’s ‘sacrifice’)
(“sound familiar?”)
(“yep…thought so!”)
(“that’s what you get when….”)
(the ‘mourning’ reaches its ‘climax’ on the ’10th day’ (known as ‘ashura’), on which the forces of ‘yazid’ killed the ’72 individuals’ who fought, including ‘husayn’ and his ‘family’ + ‘supporters’)
.
(the ‘women’ and ‘children’ left ‘living’ were made ‘prisoners’ and transported to yazid’s court in ‘damascus’)
