Mourning of Muharram amid pandemic
Why do Shias insist on holding mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussein in Muharram despite the pandemic? Despite the breakout of Coronavirus, Iranians held mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussein. The reason behind this perseverance is that Imam Hussein is the symbol of resistance against tyrannical powers for them and for all Shias worldwide.
Imam Hussein and his companions were brutally killed 1400 years ago and yet Shias across the world mourn for him and commemorate his sacrifice. In fact, Imam Hussein discerned that Umayyad rule was deviating Islam from its right path so he chose to sacrifice himself and even his 6-month child in order to save Islam and teach a lesson to his followers: Never accept oppression. Resistance is in fact a ramification of Ashura.
