Muslims across Bangladesh are observing the Holy Ashura today (Friday), commemorating the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), with religious fervour and solemnity.
On this day in the Hijri year of 61, Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), along with his family members and 72 followers, embraced martyrdom at the hands of Yazid’s soldiers on Karbala maidan in Iraq to uphold the teachings of the Prophet.
Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the day is being observed in a more muted way as the government has prohibited all processions, including Tajia.
All other necessary religious rituals on the occasion of the holy Ashura were held indoors as per the order Religious Affairs Ministry gave in compliance with all health rules and maintaining social distancing.
