A'mal-e-Ashura
The day of Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram in Lunar Hijri calendar. This day is important for Shi'a due to what took place in Karbala on this day in 61/October 10, 680). On that day, Imam al-Husayn (a) and his companions were martyred in the battle with the Kufian army led by Umar b. Sa'd on the orders of Yazid Ibn Muawiya. This booklet aims to record some of the basic prayers and rites of Ashura as prescribed by the infallible Imams. The book also contains Ziarat- e-ashura, recited by Shi'a to salute Imam al-Husayn (a) and to commemorate the epic-tragic Battle of Ashura' and the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn (a) and his companions.
