Assalamu Alaykum.
I am a Sunni Hanafi Muslim and reside in Karachi, Pakistan.
I attended the 9th Muharram majlis for Ashura in Masjid O Imam Bargah Yasrab. Its located in DHA, Karachi. This was my 2nd Moharram Majlis in my lifetime, after last year.
I took photos and videos. I also was able to donate blood to Husaini Blood Bank, Alhamdulilah.
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you and JazakAllah to the Shia community worldwide. Thank you for keeping the spirit of Karbela alive. Growing up in a Sunni sphere of influence, the Karbela tragedy was rarely talked about unless it was Muharram, and the emphasis given to it was quite less. Its sad how we Sunnis arent taught to love and respect the Ahle Bayt ((رضي الله عنه)) and aren’t taught to salute the sacrifice of the Imam Hussain ((رضي الله عنه)) and his household. Their sacrifice practically saved Islam from the hands of Yazeed (L.A).
I also bought two books from inside the Imam Bargah that have been on my radar for some time – “And then I was guided” and “Nahjul Balagha”, the latter which I am quite eager and excited to read.
May Allah guide us all to the right path. Ameen Ya Rab.
Labaik Ya Hussain !
