During mourning days of Muharram, especially Tasu’a and Ashura, Imam made assured of his presence in the holy city of Karbala.
Imam hosted a mourning ceremony where the sufferings of Imam Hossein (‘a) and his great sacrifices were mentioned and supplications were read. Imam remained at the ceremony from very beginning to the end of moment.
Imam frequently shed tears in remembrance of Imam Hossein (‘a) sufferings and tied the Islamic revolution close to the uprising of the grandson of the honorable prophet of Islam.
