Hyderabad: The 10th of Muharram is marked every year by Muslims all around the world as a day of mourning for the unfortunate event of the martyrdom of the grandson of the Prophet of Islam, Imam Hussain.
Imam Hussain was martyred in Karbala, located near Kufa in Iraq, by the armies of the tyrant Yazid.
The disastrous event took place in 680 A.D or 61 A.H. Muslims remember Imam Hussain for this stance against oppression and corruption of Yazid, and his unwavering commitment to justice.
