I have always known that 'Hari Asyura' is a day for joyous occasion. Although I didn't care to find out what it was about, I do know that it has something to do with religion. Later on I learned that 'Hari Asyura' is on the tenth of Muharram, a day where many historical events related to Islam happened. I also learned that the prophet used to fast on that day, plus the day before and the day after. Then, much much later, I discovered that it is also the day when a very significant event in the history of Islam happened. It is a day when Imam Husin, the grandson of the prophet, was brutally killed.
