‘I want my viewer to ask – what is happening here?': Meysam Hamrang's best phone picture
For Meysam Hamrang, this image was years in the making. The Iranian photographer took it in 2019 at a religious ceremony in the village of Masuleh, part of a historic city in the northern province of Gilan, Iran. 'On the sixth day of Muharram – the first month of the Islamic calendar – Shia Muslims mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussein in a ritual called Alam Bandan,' says Hamrang. 'It's held in a 1,200-year-old shrine. People from surrounding villages gather to participate in, or observe, the ritual.' The unique architecture of Masuleh, where most buildings are only one or two storeys high, and the yard above one house forms the roof of the house below, allows residents, local people and visitors to gather en masse. 'It's always conducted with great passion and solemnity,' he says. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.

It came from years of attending the ritual and waiting for the right vantage point, and the right moment.'

Al-Hakim: Iran shocked the world
Shafaq News / On Friday, Iraqi Wisdom Movement (Al-Hikma) leader Ammar al-Hakim praised Iran's response to Israeli strikes as 'a way that astonished the world'. Speaking at the fourth annual conference of Imam Hussein's orators ahead of Muharram (the first month in the Islamic Hijri calendar), al-Hakim stated, 'The Islamic Republic pursued negotiations, but then faced treachery and absorbed the shock.' Regarding Parliamentary elections, he urged Iraqis to participate 'widely, effectively and conscientiously', advising voters to choose 'righteous individuals on clear, service-oriented lists.' Meanwhile, the Grand Imam of Najaf Friday prayers, Sadr al-Din al-Qabbanji, predicted that 'Iran would ultimately dismantle the state of Israel.' In his sermon, he stated, 'This battle will end either with Israel's demise or its defeat, as per their historical narratives limiting their existence to 80 years.' He called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to surrender to Iran and urged US President Donald Trump to send a handwritten apology to the Iranian people. Al-Qabbanji also demanded compensation for Iran's material and non-material losses and the lifting of sanctions, warning that failure to do so would mark 'the eternal end of Israel.'

TDT | Manama Bahrain's largest blood donation initiative, the Imam Hussein (PBUH) Blood Donation Campaign, will mark its 27th edition this year under the slogan 'Blood in Your Name', with preparations already underway. Scheduled to take place on the 8th and 9th of Muharram, the campaign will once again be hosted at Al Hilal Medical Center - Manama Central, in partnership with Al Hilal Healthcare Group and in coordination with the Ministry of Health. Dr Fadel Al-Nasheet, Chairman of the Higher Organising Committee, expressed appreciation for the support of the Ministry of Health, led by Her Excellency Dr Jalila bint AlSayed Jawad Hassan. He also thanked Al Hilal Healthcare Group for hosting the campaign for a second year, highlighting its role in strengthening community partnerships. The committee has been holding coordination meetings with Al Hilal officials to finalise preparations, including upgrades to the electronic appointment system to ensure a smoother donation process. Dr Al-Nasheet said the overwhelming response each year reflects Bahrainis' deep-rooted generosity and interfaith solidarity during Ashura, inspired by the legacy of Imam Hussein (PBUH). Dr Sharath Chandran, CEO of Al Hilal Healthcare Group, said the group is proud to host the campaign again, underlining its commitment to community service. He said the group's teams would spare no effort in making the event successful, stressing that blood donations can transform lives and preserve a noble tradition of helping others in hardship.

It has since grown into a national movement that has supplied 16,526 blood bags to the Central Blood Bank, including 49 bags from a special edition held in December 2024. The event continues to be one of Bahrain's most enduring symbols of humanitarian unity, carrying forward the values of sacrifice and service championed by Imam Hussein (PBUH).
