these banners and words are more than just decorations. us shia’s get ostracized and hunted down every year during muharram for mourning and yet our words and duaa’s used for mourning are used as decoration in a country where it’s ppl know nothing of shia’s and our struggles. https://twitter.com/mooni33_/status/1320352418689896448
i wish i had the proper words to explain to non-shias just how IMPORTANT imam hussain is to our faith and how we’re systematically oppressed because of it. we struggle worldwide simply bc of our faith and seeing this hurts. go thru the #shiagenocide tag, you’ll get an idea

by the way, to my non-shia muslims who are confused, the passage/line is from a ziyara called الناحية المقدسة. we read this ziyara (amongst many others) on ashoora, the tenth night of muharram, the night of imam hussain’s martyr.
