Imam Hussain (AS) Chehlum in Kargil, procession held
By: Anayat Ali
Kargil, Ladakh: Despite minus 20 degree temperature, thousands on
Tuesday January 25 Safar 20 joined the Tazia procession organized on
the occasion of Arba’in also known as Chehlum (the 40th day after the
martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, Grandson of Prophet Muhammad, peace
be on them) in this border town.
Wearing black dress, the mourners had come from far flung and remote
area, some of them covering ten km distance on foot because of closure
of roads due to heavy snowfall. They gathered at Public Park and
joined mid-day prayers after "Nawha Khwani" and matam (beating
chests).
Later the mourners reached Islamia School, Kargil, after marching
through different streets.
However, before dispersing the mourners raised anti US and Israel
slogans and expressed their solidarity with the people of Palestine.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
