Ya Ali Ya Ayliya … Layali Al-Hozn being marked in Bahrain

By: Ali Al-Qadumi

MANAMA, Bahrain: Hundreds of thousands of Bahrainis are commemorating the anniversary of martyrdom of Al-Imam Ali bin Abi Taleb (AS) during Layali Al-Hozn (nights of grief i.e. Ramadan 19-21).

The three-day majales and mawakeb al-azaiyah (mourning sittings and processions) began on 19th Ramadan and will conclude on 21st of the holy month of fasting. Black ala’em (standards of Al-Abbas bin Ali) have been set on houses, buildings and streets to express deep grief.

Renowned dirge-chanters from Iraq and Saudi Arabia are also participating in the Haidari mourning in the tiny gulf kingdom by reciting elegies marking the sad occasion.       


 
  "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 ..
