Om eventet
The goal of the project is to offer a meeting place for lovers of Imam Hussain under slightly more flexible and traditional conditions, where cold and hot drinks and food can be enjoyed while talking about Ashura and mourning ceremonies and rituals.
The program starts at 20 with the following:
- Quran recitation.
- Peace be upon Imam Hussain and his companions.
- Speech by Sayid Muntadar Al-Helo in Arabic.
- Rhythmic Iraqi mourning poetry.
Likewise, activities can be opened up that stimulate the social aspect and togetherness as well as community as a natural part of the unfolding of the event.
