Ashura being observed across Pakistan amid tight security

Ashura, the 10th of Muharram, is being observed across the country with due solemnity on Saturday to pay homage to Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) and other martyrs of Karbala amid strict security.

The day marks the undeterred resilience of the Prophet’s (PBUH) grandson, Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), his family and devoted companions who all fought to uphold Islam amid opposition and cruelty.

Ulema and zakireen will highlight various aspects of the Karbala tragedy in their sermons.
