All is set to commemorate Youm-e-Ashura- the 10th of Muharram-ul-Haram, on Tuesday (August 9), across the Azad Jammu and Kashmir state with due religious solemnity and reverence. This is the most sanctified day of the Islamic history and a unique icon of the supreme sacrifices rendered by Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions for the cause saving the religion of Islam. This day reminds us the unwavering resolve of pious family of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his nephew Imam Hussain (RA) as to how to fight against all types of tyrannical forces for the sake of rightness and justice. Youm e Ashura will dawn with special prayers by the faithful at all mosques and Imambargahs in all ten districts of Azad Jammu Kashmir. Processions of Alam and Zul’jinnah will be taken out from Imambargahs which, after passing through the already-determined traditional routes, will culminate at their fixed spots. A number of social and political organizations as well as individuals will set up sabeel(water) stalls on the processions’ route to facilitate the faithful in each and every corner of the state. Re-calling the martyrdom of Hazarat Imam Hussain (AS), Ulema and Zakerin during the course of the procession will deliver special speeches highlighting the great sacrifices of the Imam Hussain (RA) and essence of the day. The event of Karbala inspires us to uphold the glory of Islam coupled with the renewed pledge and resolve that we should not hesitate to render any sacrifice for the sake of saving our faith from the clutches of enemy.
