istanbul – Ashura procession

YA ALLAH HO YA RAHMANO YA RAHEEMO Originally uploaded by *Aqs* playing with my new toy. Lightroom 2. Great shot from an American Mosque. I have been to this center and it as lovely as the picture suggests.

Today is the first of Muharram, the first 10 days of which commemorate the assassination of the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib. More to come.
