7. Thematic Discussions on Social Justice

In the context of the Battle of Karbala, the fight against injustice takes center stage. Shia teachings, inspired by the events of Imam Hussein’s life and martyrdom, encourage followers to engage actively in social justice initiatives.

The call for action is an intrinsic aspect of Shia identity, encouraging believers to advance causes that promote equity, fairness, and liberation from oppression.
