Shiites will mark Ashura, a day commemorating Prophet Mohammed’s
grandson Imam Husain, on the tenth day of Muharram, which this will be
marked on 6 December in Azerbaijan.
The believers are encouraged to take part in blood drives for needy persons on this day.
The CMD urges the believers not to cause self-harm and do not involve
children, who are not aware of essence of these ceremonies, to
participate in them. Ashura ceremony should take place in mosques, holy
places in compliance with safety regulations.
The fatwa also points to the importance of this month.
"The Azerbaijani people, who honor the memory of shahids, who
sacrificed their lives for their country's territorial integrity, must
understand the essence of the greatness of Islamic martyr. The image of
Imam Hussain instills the spirit of patriotism, courage and unity in
people."
Month of Muharram marks the beginning of a new year on the lunar
calendar and is the first month of Islamic Hijri-Gamar calendar. This is
one of four months (Rajab, Zul-Kaada, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram) during
which God specifically prohibits conflicts, blood feuds, wars and so on.
Muharram is a month of repentance and worship. Every Muslim should try
to spend this holy month in the service of Allah and do not miss the
opportunity to get his forgiveness of sins.
