Iran/Tehran/Imam Ali Religious Arts Museum. The Mourning of Muharram (also known as the Remembrance of Muharram or Muharram Observances) is a set of rituals associated with mainly Shia Muslims however, some Muslims from other sects, as well as some non-Muslims, also take part in the remembrance. The commemoration falls in Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Many of the events associated with the ritual take place in congregation halls known as Hussainia. The event marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala, when Imam Hussein ibn Ali, a grandson of Muhammad, was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph. Family members and companions accompanying him were killed or subjected to humiliation. Muharram observances are carried out in countries with a sizable Shia population. Both Sunni and Shia Muslims mourn during Muharram, although Sunni Muslims do so to a much less extent. Storytelling, weeping, self-flagellation, and re-enactments of the Battle of Karbala form the crux of the observances.
