It is in this month when Hussain, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was brutally massacred in Karbala alongside his family and friends in the year 680.AD.
Their martyrdom is a sad day for Shia Muslims, who hold mourning ceremonies to recall the righteous virtues for which the valiant martyrs stood and the grave calamities that they thus had to bear. The commemoration of Battle of Karbala begins on the first day of Muharram and reaches its climax on the 10th day of Muharram, the day of the battle, known as Ashurah and continues for 40 days.
