May Allah (SWT) have mercy upon he who revives our matter.” And to shed light on the great sacrifices and grievance of Lady of the worlds’ women; Lady Fatima Az-Zahra (peace be upon her) as well as urging on the principles of Ahlal-Bayt (peace be upon them).
The head of the Department of the Hussaini processions and rituals at the two holy shrines of Imam Al-Hussain (AS) and of Al-Abbas (AS) spoke to the Al-Kafeel Network about these rituals saying that “the movement of the processions of mourning in the Fatimi sorrows’ season or what it is called (the small Muharram) begins days before the martyrdom anniversary that falls on the thirteenth of Jumadal Ula and continue until the days of the martyrdom anniversary according to the third narration, and their peak is during Fridays during this season. Condolences’ processions come to the shrines of Imam Al-Hussain (AS) and of his brother Abhal-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them) from inside and outside the province of Karbala, which is a known custom since early times.
The staffs of our department are organizing the movement of their march, as the entry of the processions is from the Qibla gate of the shrine of Abal-Fadhl Al-Abbas (peace be upon him) and after extending their condolences to him, they head to the shrine of Aba Abdillah Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) passing by the area between the two holy shrines. The department is following a plan commensurate with the current health.”
It is noteworthy that the lovers and followers of Ahal-Bayt (peace be upon them) recall all over the world this painful anniversary of the martyrdom of the beloved daughter of the Prophet Fatima Az-Zahra (SA). There are multiple narrations about the date of her death (peace be upon her), which indicates the injustice and persecution from which she suffered, as she (Peace be upon her) recommended her husband; the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to hide the place of her grave and to not let any of those who oppressed her to witness her funeral and she was then only eighteen years according to a narration.
