This weekend, 5th / 6th July (10th Muharram), sees many Shia Muslims all over the world mark the Day of Ashura. A commemoration of the martrydom of Muhammad's grandson, Husayn who died standing up for justice. In 2025 this fight is still poignant. Zam Hussain has already done an episode on Ashura which if you haven't listened then please do. But this week he joins us to tell us about his own personal pilgrimage to Karbala to visit the grave of Husayn. In his moving, human and deeply spiritual account of this pilgrimage. We discuss;
- What the pilgrimage is and what happens
- The history of this pilgrimage
- How it links to Shia teachings
- The challenges faced and what practical things were put in place to support the pilgrims
- Fun stories along the way
- The emotions at the grave
- The impact of completing this pilgrimage
Zam has recently had a tattoo relevant to this pilgrimage - listen to find out more!
