Benefitting from Muharram

1) Talk to Imam Husain (a.s.)


Specify a time during your day or night where you converse with Imam Husain
(a.s.). Say salaam to him. Make some covenant with him and respond to his call
(labbayk).
2) Regularly pray any one of the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.).
Fix a time for it. You can recite the following ziyaaraat:
a) Ziyaarat-e-Waaresah
b) Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora
Specially in the first ten days, your recitation should be with deliberation on
the meanings of the wordings of these ziyaaraat.
3) Read a book on Karbala
After consultations with some learned people, select a book or books on
Karbala and read them throughout these days of mourning. This will increase
your ma’refat about Imam Husain (a.s.) and his companions which will take
you nearer to them.
4) Manifest the rituals of Azadari
So that all those around you should know that you are in a state of mourning
for your Imam (a.s.). Wear black clothes, hoist the alam of Hazrat Abbas (a.s.)
on your houses, put black bedsheets, curtains and wall displays in your houses
and other such things by which it should be known to the world that you are in
a state of mourning.
5) Talk about Karbala
During these days of mourning, specially the first ten days, try to speak as
much as possible about Karbala, Imam Husain (a.s.), his personality, his
uprising, etc. Speak about it to your families, friends, and other members of
the society.
6) Participate in the Majaalis of Imam Husain (a.s.)
Attend and participate in at least one or two majlis every day along with your
family. Of course, ideally you must attend as much as possible, but two is

minimum. Don’t let Shaitan dissuade you by excuses like the zakir is not giving
any matter, etc.
7) Contributions
Contribute to the mourning of Imam Husain (a.s.) in whatever way you can like
arranging for food, establishing Sabeel, distributing water free of cost, calling
different Anjumans to your house or Imambargah for Matam and Nauhas, etc.
Appreciating and encouraging those who recite nauhas. Arranging zaakirs for
those areas where the populace cannot afford to host one.
8) Seek nearness to Allah through Zikr-e-Husain (a.s.)
Zikr-e-Husain (a.s.) should be the cause of your nearness to Allah (s.w.t.) i.e., it
should lead you to acts of obedience of Allah like prayers, fasting, reciting Holy
Quran, dua, helping the poor, etc. and keep away from haram things, like
backbiting, lies, not wearing the hijab, etc. Using this opportunity, you must
also promise to Imam Husain (a.s.) that you will commit as less sins as possible.
9) Keep the company of the scholars
Keep the company of the scholars as much as possible and benefit from their
knowledge due to their more ma’refat about Imam Husain (a.s.). Ask them
questions, share your thoughts with them, listen to their advises and guidance,
etc. because they are the trustees of religion after the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)
and the infallible Imams (a.s.).
10) Pray for the early reappearance of Imam-e-Zaman (a.t.f.s.)
In these days, after every action of mourning, do not forget to pray for the
early reappearance of our beloved master, Hazrat Baqiyatullah al-Aazam
(a.t.f.s.) for he is the real heir of Imam Husain (a.s.) who deserves to receive
condolences and one who will take the revenge of Imam Husain (a.s.)’s blood,
inshallah. He is the one who sheds tears of blood and wails for his ancestor,
day and night.
