The Karbala processions recall the positions of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) in the Battle of al-Taf

The Karbala condolences processions on the seventh day of the month of Muharram commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) and his loyalty and sacrifices in the sad al-Taf event.

The Husseini processions flocked to commemorate the Ashura tragedy marching in the roads leading to the shrines of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon them) and the entrances of the Old City, in an annual tradition of condolences processions.

The processions set off from various parts of the city of Karbala, carrying black flags of condolence, echoing the chants and Husseini laments that glorify the sacrifices of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (Peace be upon him) and his loyalty, courage, valor and refusal to swear allegiance to the oppressors.

The processions headed towards the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), where believers gathered from inside and outside Iraq to commemorate this sad anniversary, which is an occasion to reaffirm the values and principles for which he sacrificed (peace be upon him) and strengthen the spirit of belonging to the Islamic religion.

The condolences processions in the first ten days of the month of Muharram are dedicated to the people of Karbala, and their processions come out in a custom of mourning that they have been keen to establish since ancient times, and it begins with the descent of the Xinjeel processions, to recall the tragedy of the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), and renew the Covenant and loyalty to him (peace be upon him).

The two holy shrines witness the arrival of large crowds of believers from inside and outside Iraq to participate in commemorating the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussayn and his family and companions (peace be upon them), and the voices of mourners rise with Husayni laments, which embody the meanings of consolation and loyalty to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).
