10 June

2. The Significance of Ashura

While June 10 does not directly coincide with the observance of Ashura, which reflects the profound mourning for Imam Hussein’s martyrdom, it serves as a precursor to these observances. Shia Muslims engage in communal gatherings, rituals, and educational sessions in anticipation of Ashura. These preparatory events stress the importance of self-reflection, empathy, and understanding the gravity of sacrifice for the sake of justice.
