Afghanistan: Ashura mourning ceremony in Mazar-e-Sharif + Images
Ashura ceremony in Mazar-e-Sharif was held with the participation of tens of thousands of citizens of Balkh province in a very safe and glorious atmosphere more than in previous years.
In this ceremony, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Hashem Hosseini Nejad, Head of Ashura Ceremony, Hujjat al-Islam Moghaddasi, Representative of Molawi Mehdi Mojahed, Hujjat al-Islam Bayani, Chairman of the Council of Shiite Scholars of Balkh Province, Head of the Islamic Emirate in the North, and Sayyed Haidar Hashemi, Friday Imam of the city of Mazar-e-Sharif gave a speech.
Explaining the aims of Imam Hussein’s uprising, the speakers spoke of brotherhood and empathy and called on the people to empathize.
The Taliban representative said at the ceremony: “Shiites are our brothers, our war and jihad has been for brotherhood and patriotism. Prejudice, ethnicity and religiosity must be avoided and we must all unite and build the homeland.”
Masha Allaah this is an excellent start for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan. As I’ve said for many years now we are all of the ummah of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and should not show scorn on those who may well be following the truth better than we do ourselves, only when it is clearly against the Islaamic teachings of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) should we be unafraid to speak out against anything untoward. I do hope Iran, Turkey and other brotherly countries aid and assist the people of Afghanistan against any fitnah from any quarter that thrives on disrupting a nation that wants to live in peace and prosperity, as do the Majority in Afghanistan. congratulations.
