**Azadari is the collective mourning rituals and commemorative practices observed by Shia Muslims (and many Sunni Muslims too) especially during the Islamic month of **Muharram**, in memory of the martyrdom of **Imam Hussain (AS)**, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and his companions in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. The word **Azadari** comes from *Aza*, meaning mourning or lamentation. ### 📌 Forms of Azadari: * **Majlis (gatherings)**: Religious gatherings where scholars or Zakireen narrate the events of Karbala and discuss the virtues of the Ahlul Bayt. * **Matam (chest-beating)**: A physical expression of grief and solidarity with Imam Hussain (AS) and his followers. * **Marsiya & Noha recitation**: Poetic elegies describing the tragedy of Karbala. * **Processions (Juloos)**: Public gatherings where mourners walk together, often with banners, Alam (standards), and Ta'ziya (replicas of Imam Hussain’s shrine). * **Tabarruk**: Distribution of food and sweets as a blessed offering in the name of Imam Hussain (AS). * **Zanjeer Zani**: Some groups perform self-flagellation with chains, though it's more symbolic in many communities now. ### 📖 Purpose of Azadari: * To keep alive the message of **truth, justice, and resistance against tyranny**. * To commemorate the ultimate sacrifice made by Imam Hussain (AS) for the preservation of Islam. * To remind the community of the moral values and principles of the Ahlul Bayt. It’s not just a mourning ceremony — it’s a cultural, social, and religious platform for educating people about standing against oppression and preserving human dignity.
