Following the death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Muslim world saw two different denominations – Shia and Sunni Islam. While each and every Muslim observes the month of Muharram, the Shia community especially comes together to observe the rituals of the holy month, culminating with Ashura. Some Pakistani celebrities are also a part of Pakistan’s vibrant Shia community.
Husayn ibn Ali lost his life during the Battle of Karbala, and his death has since been mourned throughout the Muslim world.
Even celebrities who are Shia Muslims follow the rituals on the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala. Let’s take a look at who these celebrities are:
Imran Abbas
37-year-old actor, singer, and former model Imran Abbas is extremely popular in showbiz. While he often posts pictures in remembrance of Muharram-ul-Haram, the Thora Sa Haq star recited a Marsiya this Muharram. Let’s take a look:
