Ashura, the day on which Shia Muslims commemorate the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Husayn Ibn Ali, will take place next Friday. Imam Husayn was killed in 680 AD in the Battle of Karbala after refusing to pledge allegiance to Yazid I, the Umayyad Calip, whose rule he considered unjust. His death is marked each year on the tenth day of the Muslim month of Musharram, the first month in the Muslim calendar.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is expected to give a major address on Sunday in which he is expected to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East as well as pay tribute to Hajj Hasan al-Hajj, a Hezbollah commander who was martyred last week in Syria.
