Muharram is a month of remembrance that is often considered synonymous with the event of Ashura. Ashura, which literally means the "Tenth" in Arabic, refers to the tenth day of Muharram.
It is well-known because of historical significance and mourning for the martyrdom of Hussein Ibn Ali(AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).
Imam Hussain & his family and followers (consisting of 72 people, including women, children and aged people) were killed by army of Yazid at the Battle of Karbala on his orders. The women and children left living were made prisoners and transported to Yazid's court in Damascus.
Ali ibn Hussein said:
Every Mu'min, whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husain Ibn' Ali and his companions, such that the tears roll down his cheeks, God shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms of paradise. InshaAllah!!!
