Commemorating the martyrdom and the mission of Imam Husayn (A) is a tradition which is well-over a thousand years old.
Yet, what is the importance and the need to make sure the things said in the speeches and the elegies presented in these commemoration ceremonies are based upon solid foundations?
And how can a speaker or an elegist, or for that matter, any follower of Imam Husayn (A), increase their knowledge in order to create a more solid foundation for understanding Imam Husayn (A)?
And finally, what can happen if we end up saying something that is not only not based upon solid foundations, but is potentially incredibly harmful?
The Leader of the Muslim Ummah, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, speaks about how “Elegies Must Be Based on Solid Foundations”.
Our condolences to the believers upon the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Husayn (A), his family members, and his companions.
