Serenade of sacrifice: 'After You' unveils the tale of Imam Hussein (AS)

Khamenei.ir has released a compelling music video entitled ‘After You’ on Imam Hussein (AS) and the Ashura event.  

In an initiative to introduce the historical significance of Imam Hussein (AS) and the solemn event of Ashura to the Western youth, ‘After You’ has been published  

The day of Ashura holds immense importance for Shia Muslims, falling on the 10th day of Muharram in the Lunar Hijri calendar.

This date commemorates the tragic events that unfolded in Karbala on the same day in the year 61 AH (October 10, 680 CE). It was on this fateful day that Imam Hussein (AS), along with his loyal companions, faced martyrdom in a valiant battle against the Kufa army led by Umar ibn Sa'd.

The music video, ‘After You’, serves as a compelling medium to convey the depth of emotions and historical significance associated with Imam Hussein (AS) and the Ashura event.

Produced by the Vetr Arts Group and recorded at the renowned Hayaat Studio, the music video presents a visually striking and emotionally resonant portrayal of this significant chapter in Islamic history.

Through a harmonious blend of music, artistry, and storytelling, ‘After You’ aims to bridge cultural gaps and foster a better understanding of the sacrifices made by Imam Hussein (AS) and his loyal followers.

It provides an opportunity for Western audiences to engage with and appreciate the rich heritage of Shia Islam in a contemporary and relatable format.
