The first month of the Islamic year used to be observed with reverence, especially among Shitte Muslims. The day commemorates the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain R.A, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
During Muharram, and specifically in Ashura, people mark processions, flagellating themselves with chains or knives in a ritualistic display of mourning. The atmosphere is somber, and many people wear black as a sign of mourning.
In majalis, scholars and Zakirs recall Karbala events and the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain RA. These gatherings are meant to inspire reflection, piety, and a sense of community among participants. Islamic month is also a time for acts of charity and compassion, as faithful help those in need and to show kindness.
Pakistani government make special measures for mourners processions and place of Majalis ahead to the Holy Month of Muharram.
