Muharram 2024: According to the Islamic calendar, the first month of Muharram is going on. Today is the fifth day of the month of Muharram and now there are five more days left for the day of Ashura, the day when Imam Hussain was martyred along with his 71 companions in Karbala, Iraq, after starving and thirsting for three days. As mentioned earlier, in different parts of the world, Pursa (tribute) is given to different martyrs in the first ten days of Muharram. Let us know which martyrs are mentioned on the fifth day of Muharram.
In fact, the memory of Imam Hussain’s nephews is celebrated on the fifth day of Muharram. Prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatima Zehra had a daughter named Zainab. Her two sons Aun and Mohammad were also martyred in the field of Karbala on the day of Ashura. Zainab was the sister of Imam Hussain who was also called Shariqatul Hussain.
When Aun and Mohammad were martyred, they were very young, but as Shia religious leader Hasan Abbas Bilgirami tells, both of them still bravely faced Yazid’s army. Both the brothers reached the river named Nahar-e-Furat while fighting, but since the children in Imam Hussain’s camp were thirsty, both the brothers did not drink water and kept fighting with Yazid’s army. How long could the two brothers fight hungry and thirsty for three days? After some time, Yazid’s soldiers surrounded them and attacked them and martyred both of them.
Today, the fifth day of Muharram is related to Aun and Mohammad. On this day, the bravery and martyrdom of these two brothers is mentioned everywhere in the world. It is said that Zainab martyred both her children in the name of Islam. Both the brothers were so brave that even after capturing the river, they did not drink water because the small children in Imam Hussain’s camp were thirsty.
