(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Members of the Shia Islamic Movement in Nigeria commenced the annual Imam Hussain (A) mourning gathering in different part of the country on Friday the 2nd of Muharram 1434. On first of Muharram the gathering kicked up in Zaria.

As usual members of the Movement In Kano gathered at the well decorated Husainiyyah located at Kofar Waika Kano to commemorate this year’s Ashura. They listened to lecture by Mallam Muhammad Turi.

People troop to the Husainiyyah daily to express their love to Imam Husain (AS) with popular slogan of ‘Ya Husain’ while sending salawat to the grandson of the Prophet (SAWA).

During his welcome address on the first day of the Ashura Majlis sheikh Turi expressed that Ashura gathering is aimed at reviving the Sunah of the Prophet (SAW) as the Prophet himself mourned Ashura tragedy and even described that his son Husain will be sieged at Karbala plain and he should be helped. ‘We are mourning the Ashura as did the prophet (AS)’, sheikh Turi added.

He further described the many virtues of commemorating Ashura which include reviving the teachings of Prophet's Household (AS).
