The mourning processions recall the courage of al-Qasem son of Imam al-Hassan (peace be upon them) in the tragedy of at-Taf

The Karbala mourning processions on the eighth day of the month of Muharram remember the courage of the Hashemite Boy Al-Qasem Ibn Imam Al-Hassan (peace be upon them) and his loyalty and sacrifices in the tragedy of at-Taf.

During the march of the mourning processions, the mourners chanted elegies about the martyrdom of al-Qasem and what he did on the day of Ashura, and his martyrdom in the hands of his uncle Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), recalling the courage of this Hashemite boy and his heroic position in defending the Husseini cause.

The revival of the Karbala processions for the mourning ceremony is a mourning tradition that has been used for hundreds of years, as the people of the processions go out in mourning processions during the first ten days of the holy month of Muharram.

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