Ashura Awareness Campaign 2008

The coming week sees the beginning of the new Islamic year with the arrival of the holy month of Muharram and the tragic event of Ashura on the 10th of this month. As in previous years, an Ashura Awareness Stall will be running throughout the week during lunch times on campus between Wednesday 9th - Wednesday 16th of January.

This year we will be focusing on the specific aspects of Thirst and Justice that the layman can identify with from the story of Ashura. Firstly on the level that the Imam and his companions were suffering terribly from thirst and how people around the world to this day do not have access to clean water. And secondly how the Imam's stance on the day of Ashura was that for justice against a dictator and how today it is our responsibility to also stand up for justice and speak against corruption where ever it may be.



We hope to see you at our stalls where you can pick up some freebies!
