‘Imam Hussein (A) a symbol of justice’ … Arbaeen in Nigeria

By: Muhammad Mansur

On Thursday the 20th of Safar 1431, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky commemorated the yawm al arbaeen (40 days) of Imam Husein (A.S) massacre in Karbala.

The event took place in the Islamic Movement Fudiyya Centre in Zaria city. Thousands of mourners – men and women - attended the event.

Sheikh Zakzaky narrated the suffering encountered by the Ahl al Bayt (A.S) at the hands of Yazid and his force after the massacre of Imam, his companions and family. He pointed out that Imam Hussein (A.S) is now a symbol of justice and freedom to many of the oppressed people of this world since then. Millions are now remembering the sacrifice of Imam Hussein (A.S) and his supporters while at the same time cursing their killers and enemies.

The event concluded with recitation of ziarat of Imam Hussein (A.S), du’a al Khumayl and prayers.
