Why is it important to hold mourning ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (a.s.)?

In the Name of Allah

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

We have written in the Psalms, after the Remembrance: 'The righteous among My worshipers shall inherit the earth

Sura 21: AL-ANBIYA (THE PROPHETS) - Juz' 17 - Translation Qarib

Why is it important to hold mourning ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (a.s.)?
Dec 27, 2009

Some people may question the value of the ceremonies for mourning Imam Hussein's (a.s.) martyrdom. They may say, "If you want to speak about Imam Hussein's (a.s.) movement, just go ahead and speak about his movement. Why all the crying?" This is a wrong assumption. It will be extremely hard to move ahead on this path in the absence of this emotional connection to the infallible Imams... This sense of friendship is of paramount importance, and it can be achieved through this emotional connection to the infallible Imams (a.s.). Narrating the tragedies that happened to them is an attempt to establish this emotional connection. Similarly, praising their virtues [through the mourning ceremonies] is another way to form this emotional bond.Therefore, it is necessary to hold the mourning ceremonies and narrate the events of Ashura.
