Azadari continues to be our identity. It will always give us an opportunity to better ourselves. A poet spends their words a reciter spends their voice a scholar spends their knowledge. This is the currency of the Hereafter.

ya aba abdillah, may we visit you again and again and again and again. • 📍 imam hussain holy shrine (muharram 2022)

This grief is too big. I do not know how to mourn. Who do I cry for? The baby with parched lips? The 18 year old that looked like Muhammad a.s? The orphan of Hassan a.s? Do I cry for Ghazi a.s? Or do I cry for how alone my Imam was on the afternoon of aashur?

Tu na aya ghazi is one of the greatest urdu nohas ever produced

I counted 1900 Arrows, 12 spears, 5 axes and 3 swords in the body of Hussain Ibn e Ali (as) - Hameed Bin Muslim

I love unapologetic Shias. Dunya ki aisi ki taisi, never ever be shy about your beliefs. You're the only force standing firmly against oppression today. Be proud, be very proud

The Emotional Farewell of Imam Hussain (AS) – Night of Ashura

ashoor ki shab karte thay ashaab ye noha, hum kaise chalein jaayein tumhein chordh ke maula? 💔

peace be upon the parched lips. peace be upon the one slaughtered. peace be upon the loneliest of the lonely. peace be upon the one for whom the angels wept. peace be upon the one whose rights and dignity were violated. peace be upon the greatest martyr of all martyrs.

A reminder: Don’t close your heart after Ashura. The caravan was still bleeding. The wounds were still fresh. Ashura was not the end — It was the beginning of a deeper sorrow. Muharram continued.

“This is the grave of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, the one whom they killed while he was thirsty and alone.”

i know it’s much easier to recite off your phone but i absolutely loveee writing all my kalams down. reciting from a physical book just hits different and i love colour-coding lines with the same tunes :D

I love how shia poets don’t just describe the events of Karbala on a surface level, they dive deep into the emotions of those moments, they portray each hardship of the Ahlulbaytع with such closeness and depth These lines holds it all:

Zohran Mamdani on Imam Husayn, Ashura, Karbala, and fighting oppression, even against the odds. "To stand up for justice... often means doing that which is difficult." Powerful:

don't overshare just because someone is being nice to you, you idiot
