6-month-old youngest martyr of Karbala remembered

By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: On Moharram 6, martyrdom of Hazret Imam Hossein (AS)’s six-month-old infant son Abdullah Ali Al-Asghar (AS) - the youngest martyr of Karbala - was observed across the globe with bringing out of “cradle” in majales-i-aza and processions.

To pay homage to Hazret Ali Al-Asghar (AS), tens of thousands of babies in the laps of their mothers gathered in mosques and hosseiniyaat while dressed in white and green color clothes.

The mothers were shedding tears to sympathize with Sayyedah Robab (AS), mother of Ali Al-Asghar (AS).

Speakers depicted the martyrdom of Ali Al-Asghar (AS).

Hormala (L) made Ali Al-Asghar (AS) a target of a very heavy three-face arrow, which pierced the innocent infant's neck. Ali Al-Asghar (AS) smiled and kissed martyrdom while still in the hands of his father Imam Hossein (AS).
