Ashura-Muharram

Imam Husayn (A.S.), The Grandson of the Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.),the Doyen of the Martyrs, the Chief of the Youth of Paradise, the second son of Imam Ali(A.S.) and Hadrat Fatimah Zahra (A.S.), the third Holy Imam of the Shi'ites was martyred along with his 72 faithful followers on Tenth of Muharram(Ashura),61 Hijrah in Karbala (Iraq) and saved Islam from complete destruction by his great sacrifice.On this Sorrowful and Mourning Occasion of the Martyrdom Anniversary of Imam Husayn(A.S.) and his 72 faithful followers we express our Heartfelt Grief and Condolences to the 1800 Millions Strong Muslim Ummah and all the freedom-loving and oppressed people in the world.
The Imamate Islamic Center of Manila Philippines strongly condemns the on-going massacre of Palestinian civilians perpetrated by the Israeli forces. In this time of difficulty we pray to Allah for unity in the Muslim community, justice to be done, and patience to deal with this unfolding tragedy.
