Muslims skip Muharram procession in favour of serving people

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: The tradition of participating in a “Tazia” procession during Muharram, observed on Tuesday, seems to be fading fast. Now, the tenth day of the holy month of Muharram is mostly associated with a humble drink “sherbet” which holds a deep meaning. Hence this tradition of serving sherbet to weary travellers is observed as a remembrance.” The community also believes that their Prophet’s grandson was martyred for uttering his truth, he said. Sabir Sayed, a member of Mahim Dargah managing committee, said, “We have retained this tradition of serving sherbet. After asking Imam Hussain to follow him, Yazid confined him and his family of 72 members in Karbala.” They were tortured in a tent for 10 days and deprived of food and water, Sayed added.
