A campaign has been launched by a number of lecturers and students of the Islamic Studies Center in Hamburg, Germany, to introduce the objectives and features of Imam Hussein's (AS) uprising.
According to IQNA's branch in Germany, 72 lecturers and students of the scholarly center have planned sessions with the aim of disseminating the teachings of Ashura uprising.
The campaign began on the first night of Muharram, the first month in the lunar Hijri calendar, and will continue for five nights.
The organizers plan to hold the sessions in five great cities of Germany in next year's Muharram.
Islam is the largest minority religion in the country. The large majority of Muslims in Germany are of Turkish origin followed by smaller groups from Pakistan, countries of the former Yugoslavia, Arab countries, Iran and Afghanistan.
Every year, millions of Muslims around the world mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his 72 faithful companions on Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram.
Ashura ceremonies symbolize eternal and unwavering stance of truth against falsehood and humanity's struggle against tyranny realized by Imam Hussein (AS).
