Purpose Of Celebrating “Youm-e-Ali”
“Youm-e-Ali” is a significant event for the Shia Muslim community worldwide, and its observance is particularly important in the Sindh province of Pakistan. This day is observed on the 21st day of Ramadan, which is believed to be the day when Hazrat Ali, the cousin, and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad, was mortally wounded while leading the morning prayer in the mosque of Kufa, in present-day Iraq.
For the Shia Muslim community, Hazrat Ali holds a very special place, as he is considered one of the most important figures in Islamic history. He was the first male convert to Islam, a renowned scholar, and a respected leader. His martyrdom is seen as a significant event in the history of Islam and is remembered with great reverence by Shia Muslims.
The purpose of celebrating “Youm-e-Ali” is to remember Hazrat Ali’s life, teachings, and sacrifice, and to honor his contributions to the religion of Islam. On this day, Shia Muslims attend special prayer services, recite passages from the Quran, and participate in processions to express their devotion and respect for Hazrat Ali. They also use this occasion to reflect on the importance of justice, righteousness, and unity, which were the hallmarks of Hazrat Ali’s life and leadership.
