Shi’a, some Sunnis and even some adherents of other religions mourn for Imam al-Husayn (a) and his companions on the day of ‘Ashura. At the beginning reading poems about the martyrs of Karbala and weeping was the only part of the mourning sessions; but gradually Maddahi, Rawda Khani, Shamayil Kishi, Sina Zani, Ta’ziya and other traditions, most of which formed during Buyid, Safavid, and Qajar dynasties. However, some great Shi’a scholars opposed some of these traditions, especially Qami Zani.

Whoever says Hussain (AS) left his Haj ceremonies half accomplished is misinformed:

The minute Hussain (AS) left Mecca, his intention was to perform these ceremonies with outmost affection and love, as only lovers can for their loved ones and servants for their masters

And the witness to all this is the events of day of Ashura

He presented his sacrifice, his family members,
He performed the traditional walk back and forth, between the tents of his family members and the battle ground,
He stoned the Sheitan, army of Yazid,
He performed tradition cutting of ones hair, He was beheaded,
He put on the tradition Haj clothing
He did the circumambulation rites, around his fallen family members.
He …………..

One must be a lover of Allah to understand the rites of Haj Hussain (AS) performed with outmost affection for Allah on that day
