The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended an Ashura Day ceremony in Istanbul emphasizing that the Karbala tragedy affects all Muslims and should serve as a source of unity among Sunni and Shia Muslims. This was the first time Erdogan has joined the Ashura Day since coming to power in 2002. The commemoration ceremony, honoring the martyrdom of grandson of Holy Prophet s.a.w and the son of Hazrat Ali r.a, Imam Hussain (r.a), was held in Halkali's Ashura Square on Thursday. Nearly 4,000 people attended the ceremony, including top state officials and representatives from diplomatic missions and civil societies.
Addressing Shia Muslims, Erdogan said, "Our prayers, cries, and screams have been echoing in the sky for 1,300 years. Hussain's sacrifice is [a] unification rather than a farewell, it is a beginning rather than an end, brotherhood rather than separation. It is solidarity and integration”, Erdogan emphasized at the ceremony, adding that the Karbala tragedy had caused all Muslims pain for more than a millennium. “Nobody is superior to anyone in these lands, not the Sunni to the Shiites, not the Turkish to the Kurdish, the Laz to the Circassian or the Persian to the Arabs,” the prime minister added. “We are all the same in this land, together, brothers.” The prime minister also condemned the terrorist attack during an Ashura ceremony held Wednesday in Iran's Chabahar city, where 39 people were killed and more than 80 wounded. “Killing innocent people is a shameful crime, be it for whatever reason, such as religion, ideology or ethnicity”, Erdogan said.
Lastly, he urged the Sunnis and Shias to put aside their differences and unite. Hussain ibn Ali (r.a) was born in Medina in 626 CE and was martyred in 680 CE during the battle of Karbala. He was the son of Ali-ibn Abutalib (r.a), the 4th caliph of the Muslim Ummah. Ashura ceremonies symbolize eternal and unwavering stance of truth against falsehood and humanity's struggle against tyranny realized by Imam Hussein (PBUH). This is for the first time as far as I can remember, after Shah Faisal was martyred, that someone from the Muslim leaders has spoken out such powerful and pure reality based thoughts of Islam to wake the sleeping Muslim masses up.
