KANO, Africa (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Believers in their mass came out in the ancient city of Kano to attend the 1432 Ashura rally organized by members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under the leadership of Sayyid Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) just like it is the case in many Nigerian cities and other cities of the world.

The Ashura rally is a rally conducted to mourn the massacre of Imam Hussain (AS) and his followers numbering 72 by a well armed troop of 30,000, i.e. in a ratio of 1:416 sent by yazid bin muawuya in the plains of Karbala some 1381 years ago.

In Kano the rally took to prominent streets of the city with participants dressed in black, carrying banners, placards depicting the crime conducted in the plain of Karbala as well as the chanting of slogans,  mourning the atrocities committed at Karbala as well as swearing oath of  allegiance to remain  steadfast in the same path of Imam Hussain (AS).

At the closing speech of the rally Mal Muhammad Turi reiterated the fact that the atrocities committed during Ashura on Imam Hussain (AS) and his followers has not being forgotten in history, but act as a catalyst in reviving and upholding the deen of Allah (T). The  sacrifice of those slain at the plains of Karbala will continuously be remembered and the path be followed by all truthful believers and will always act a model in repelling and uprooting all form of tyranny committed by tyrants.

Of course, to  emulate the path shown by Imam Hussain (AS), sacrifice is needed and tyrants will always not be at ease, and this very self sacrifice is the pancreas of uprooting all forms of vices. Thus in other to uphold justice and the laws ordained by Allah where there is a misnomer, Imam khomeni (QS) and Shehu Ahmad Tijjani (TR) have always proclaimed, “Kulli yumin ashura wa kulli ardin Karbala”, every day is ashura and every place is karbala.

The duty to uphold the deen of Allah (T) is incumbent on all faithful Muslim!!! The scenario of Ashura has given us a model to emulate Imam Hussain (AS) in sacrificing ourself to upheld our deen against all forms of atrocities!!!!

The rally came to a close by dua from Mal Mansur Gumel.
