Roots of faith

7. Rituals and Practices: Expressions of Faith

The practice of rituals in Shia Islam serves as an expression of faith and community solidarity. Events such as Ashura, which commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, are pivotal in reinforcing collective identity and remembrance. Rituals involving mourning, prayer, and communal gatherings become avenues for expressing grief, solidarity, and resilience. These practices not only deepen individual spirituality but also foster a profound connection among community members.
