2015 Husain Day1 — There was a full house Oct. 24 at Masjid-e-Ali Mosque on Cedar Grove Lane to commemorate Husain Day. Pictured, Dr. Sayed Ammar Nakshawani speaks to the crowd.

The killing of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed’s grandson in the 7th Century was commemorated Oct. 24 at Masjid-e-Ali Mosque on Cedar Grove Lane.

Husain Ibn Ai and about 70 of his followers were killed in Karbala, in present-day Iraq, after refusing to pledge allegiance to Yazid I, head of the caliphate at the time. Husain objected to what he considered injustices perpetrated by Yazid, and thought that the Caliph’s lifestyle was not in accord with their prophet’s teachings.
