Majlis-e-Aza

Majlis-e-Aza

Majlis-e-Aza is same as Majalis-e-Aza and Aza-e-Husayn(p).

The word Azadari and Majalis-e-Aza has been exclusively used in connection with the remembrance ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain. Majalis-e-Aza also known as Aza-e-Husayn includes mourning congregations, lamentations, matam and all such actions which express the emotions of grief and above all, repulsion against what Yazid stood for.

The term majalis has both a grammatical meaning and a meaning which relates to Aza-e-Husayn. In its technical sense, a majalis is a meeting, a session or a gathering. In reference to Aza-e-Husayn, it means a gathering to mourn Imam Husayn(p) In this sense it was first used by the sixth Imam, Ja'far Sadiq(p). It is reported that his companion al-Fudhayl Ibne Yasaar came to pay his respects to the Holy Imam. After the exchange of usual courtesies, Imam asked al-Fudhayl: "Do you people ever organise majalis to recall the martyrdom of Imam Hussain?" Al-Fudhayl, with tears pouring down his eyes, replied: "Yabna Rasulillah, indeed we do." The Imam said: "May Allah bless you. I highly approve of such majalis."
