One of the most visible manifestations of the Husayni movement is the ritualistic observance of Muharram, particularly the day of Ashura. During this sacred month, Shia Muslims engage in a variety of commemorative practices designed to honor Imam Husayn’s sacrifice. These include majalis (mourning gatherings), where scholars and speakers narrate the events of Karbala, reflecting upon its implications on personal piety and communal identity.
Processions, known as lazim, take to the streets, portraying the emotional gravity of the events. Participants don black attire as an expression of mourning, articulating their solidarity with Imam Husayn. This public display serves as both a reminder of the historical event and an invocation of collective memory, forging a strong communal bond among adherents.
