What Does Ashura Represent to Muslims? - Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini || 1st Muharram 2018

In the insightful discussion, Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini discusses the importance of commemorating the tragedy of Karbala, using it as a source of inspiration, spiritual revival, and a deriver of many valuable lessons.

From this historic event that is often sidelined, we learn the importance of establishing a sense of inner responsibility to truly fulfill our purpose in life. Additionally, we understand how Imam Hussain (a.s.) was the embodiment of sincerity, and that Ashura wasn't a political military coup but rather an all encompassing revolution for individual, family and societal reformation.

The discussion was wrapped by sharing words of wise advice to the attendees, volunteers and speakers involved in the commemorative gatherings of Imam Hussain (a.s.).
