Under the auspices of Anjuman Sharie Shian Jammu and Kashmir, solemn religious commemorations marking Youm-e-Ashura were observed across the Kashmir Valley with deep reverence and devotion.
As per a press release, scores of Zuljanah processions were taken out in different parts of the Valley, drawing tens of thousands of mourners who paid homage to the supreme sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS) and the martyrs of Karbala.
The largest Ashura procession was led by the President of Anjuman Sharie Shian, Hujjat-ul-Islam wal Muslimeen Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al-Safvi, from Imambara Mirgund, Budgam. The procession passed through its traditional route before culminating at Dar-ul-Mustafa, the residence of the late Hujjat-ul-Islam wal Muslimeen Aga Syed Mustafa Mosavi Al-Safvi (RA) in Budgam.
Another major Zuljanah procession was taken out from Gulshan Bagh, Madin Sahib, Bota Kadal, Srinagar, and concluded at Khanqah Mir Shamsuddin Araqi (RA), Zadibal, Srinagar.
The procession was attended by Hujjat-ul-Islam Aga Syed Mujtaba Abbas Mosavi Al-Safvi, who represented the President of Anjuman Sharie Shian. The Ashura processions witnessed the participation of tens of thousands of mourners, including men, women, youth, and elderly devotees, who joined the commemorations in a peaceful and disciplined manner. Friday prayers were offered at Shaheed Aga Syed Mohammad Hussain Memorial Park, Behesht-e-Zehra (AS), Budgam, under the leadership of Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al-Safvi.
Addressing the congregation in his Ashura sermon, Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al-Safvi highlighted various dimensions of the tragedy of Karbala, stating that the martyrdom of the beloved grandson of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Imam Hussain (AS), along with his loyal family members and companions, represents the eternal triumph of truth, justice, and moral values over tyranny, oppression, and arrogance.
He said that the epic of Karbala permanently dismantled the legitimacy of coercive and tyrannical rule, adding that after the Battle of Karbala, no ruler ever dared to demand allegiance from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the manner that had been attempted before the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS). On the sidelines of the Ashura commemorations, it was announced that Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al-Safvi has received an invitation to participate in the funeral procession of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
