Tomorrow is the tenth of Moharam (the first month of Arabic year). About 14 centuries ago, Imam Hossein stood against the time government. And on tenth of Moharam a war between government army and Imam and his followers happened. Hossein (P.U.H) just had 72 men among his followers at the battle and the government army was more than 1000 men. They stood and struggle for their believes although the Khalife( the time governor) offered to award them best things and governing of some cities. At last at the evening of the day all the faithful men were killed but one –Imam Sadjad- (he was sick) was alive. All their families (women and children) arrested as the prisoners of the war.


Hossein is the third children of saint Fatima (our prophet's daughter) and Ali (shia`s first Imam and the bravest and the most faithful man in Islam history who was born in Ka`be in Mecca).

On this day Shia Muslims try to hold different ceremonies to respect Hussein and his followers and talk about their beliefs and thoughts.
