MIRPUR (AJK)
Like rest of the country, all is set in Azad Jammu & Kashmir to observe Youm-e-Ashur, a sanctified day when the supreme sacrifices were made by Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions for the cause of Islam, due religious solemnity and reverence.
The Muslims will resolve to fight against all types of tyrannical forces and for the sake of righteousness and justice. The day will, Insha'Allah, dawn with special prayers by the faithful at mosques and Imambargahs with Namaz-e-Fajr in all the districts of Azad Jammu Kashmir. Processions of Alam and Zul'jinnah will be taken out from Imambargahs which, after passing through the already-determined traditional routes, will culminate at their fixed spots. A number of social and political organisations as well as individuals will establish stalls of juices and water on the processions' routes to facilitate the. Re-calling the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS), Ulema and Zakerin during the course of the procession will deliver special speeches highlighting the great significance of the day.
The event of Karbala inspires us to uphold the glory of Islam coupled with the renewed pledge and resolve that we should not hesitate to make any sacrifice for the lofty ideals of Islam. Though Muharram 10 is very important day for diverse reasons, nevertheless, it gains special impact as Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS)'s martyrdom and the event of Karbala also took place on this day.
