Syria: Mourning at maraqed of Sayeda Zainab (A), Sayeda Roqaya (A)

By: Sultan Ahmed

DAMASCUS, Syria: Hundreds of thousands of Hussaini mourners who could not reach Karbala to observe Arbaeen gathered in Syria commemorating the event.

On the dawn of Arbaeen, Tatbeer (slit open head with sord to gush out blood to signify grief on the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS)) was performed by thousands of mourners wearing white shrouds.

A large procession began from the holy shrine of Sayedah Roqaya bintul Hussain (AS) after Fajar (pre-dawn) prayers. It culminated at the holy mausoleum of Al-Hauraa Sayedah Zainab binte Ali (AS).
