An excellent short video on the significance of Azadari or mourning for
the martyrs of Karbala and tyranny against the progeny of Prophet
Mohammad (SAAS). It is highly informative video and contains many
answers about why Shia communities throughout the world commemorate the
events of the tragedy of Karbala? What is the background of mourning,
and the history of crying, and matam or "self-flagellation" in the form
of striking one's face and chest, or using chains and blades in matam.
It takes the viewer through different stages of the commemoration of
tragic events and ends beautifully with the couplet that "In the Murder
of Hussain, Indeed is the death of Yazid; Thus Karbala has revived
Islam".
