Muslim Community
Muharram is the first month of the Hijri calendar and holds significance in the history of Islam. The battle of Karbala took place on 10 days of Muharram in 61 AH (9/10 October 680 CE) at Karbala, now located in Iraq. This battle took place between a small group of supporters consisting of the family and companions of Hussain Ibn Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) against the military troops sent by Yazid ibn Muawiyah, the Umayyad Caliph. Hussain was martyred along with his relatives and companions in the battle.
The shia community in the city comprising about 4 lakh people holds special majlis (prayer gatherings) at the Ashurkhana (a specific premises for mourning) during the Muharram month. The city has several ‘Ashurkhanas’ dating back to the period of the Qutb Shahi era and situated mostly in Golconda and the old city of Hyderabad and a few in Secunderabad, Rajendranagar, Moula Ali, and Hayathnagar.
