Ashura, a significant day for Shia Muslims, commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, at the Battle of Karbala. It is observed on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Shia Muslims worldwide mourn Hussein's death through various rituals, including public displays of grief, chest-beating, and self-flagellation, often with chains. Some Shia leaders discourage self-harming practices and advocate for blood donations instead.
