Book on a wood table. Cover depicts a trail of camel prints in the desert. Title reads: FROM MEDINA TO KARBALA IN THE WORDS OF IMAM AL HUSAYN -SECOND EDITION- Ayatollah Muhammad-Sadia Najmi Translated and annotated by Dr. Muhammad-Reza Fakhr-Rohani

My cousin’s wife gifted me this book for my birthday last year. It contains all the letters and speeches made by #ImamHusayn on his journey from Medina to Karbala before he was ultimately martyred there on #Ashura. Might share some excerpts over the next 10 days of #Muharram

#YaHusayn

The shaykh at ICNYU majlis talking about how one of the purposes of Muharram is to cultivate a collective memory for our community. No matter where you go in the world, every Shia Muslim is sharing the same exact experience for 10 days, remembering the same exact historical events. #Ashura #YaHusayn

This month also teaches us empathy and solidarity with people suffering violent oppression all over the world. Every day is Ashura. Every land is Karbala.

Muharram starts tonight, which means the tragedy of Karbala will take over my entire personality for the next 40 days.

…who am I kidding. It is already my entire personality. I’ll just be posting about it more often on here.

The Shia in me is very excited about this number. #YaHusayn
