Muslims across the world observe the Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. The climax of the Muharram is reached on its tenth day with the marking of the Ashura festival, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, in the battle of Karbala, Iraq, in the seventh century.
