The Day of Ruhba

The Role of the Community

The commemoration of the Day of Ruhba also serves as a conduit for community cohesion. It reinforces communal bonds that transcend individual differences. The act of gathering to acknowledge a shared lineage, beliefs, and aspirations imparts a holistic sense of identity among Shia Muslims. The emphasis on collective mourning, learning, and celebration during this day strengthens intergenerational ties, ensuring that the teachings and legacies of the Imams are perpetuated.
