“Great Imam Hussain is my illustrious ancestor, and he is the guiding force for all of humanity. His life is the brightest example of resilience against evil, cruelty, and immorality. His ultimate sacrifice is unparalleled in the entire history, and he stands as a matchless inspiration for all of mankind,” said Dr. Darakhshan.
Reacting to unpleasant reactions from some people against Muharram and the observance of the days, Dr. Andrabi said that it was time to ignore the hate mongers who seek cheap publicity for themselves.
She emphasized that for every follower of the great Prophet of Islam, it is mandatory to understand Karbala and Ashoora. “Ashoora is a powerful school where everyone, whoever enters, leaves matured and spiritually elevated. Ashoora teaches the true distinction between good and evil,” said Dr. Darakhshan.
