10 DAYS MAJAALIS AT BILAL CENTRES
The tragedy of Karbala remains an important turning point in the history of Islam. All the 15 BMMK centres conducted majaalis to commemorate the tragedy of Karbala for the first 10 days of Muharram. The majaalis were stipulated into three sessions;
- Morning sessions –Madrasa Students with the main teachings based on the history (tarekh) of Karbala and how to be steadfast in their faith in times of trials.
- Afternoon Sessions-Ladies Majlis, also focused on the contribution of women in Karbala and beyond and how to foster social justice in our communities as mothers.
- Evening Sessions-Gents Majlis, conducted after magribain Salat with the main focus on how to fight injustices in our society in reference to the history of Karbala.
The lectures were delivered by different Mubaligheen who had exchange programs from other nearby Centers. Their presentations were very well received by the community which has practically transformed the community in preparedness towards misconceptions about Shia Aqedah (Islamic Theology).
