Updated 5 January 2010

During Muharram programmes, Bilal Muslim Mission participated in the ‘Kerbala project’ prepared by the Dar es Salaam Shia Boys Scouts/Cubs Troop. The aim of the project was to educate Muslim groups about the tragedy of Kerbala.

The mission has actively been involved in Tableegh and spreading the message of Imam Husain (as).

One member of the audience was surprised to learn of these events and remarked, ‘Why were we not aware of the event of Kerbala?’

Sheikh Idris Kwezi explains the Kerbala project and the movement of Imam Husain (as) on the day of Ashura to and from the battlefield to the camp.

Sheikh Abdunur replies to questions from the audience.
