 Muharram
The tenth day of this month is spent in great mourning, as it was on this day that the Prophet's grandson Hussain, achieved martyrdom.The long processions with their Taziahs which are the gorgeous replicas of the martyr's tomb, the masked dancers and the colorful crowds, give Muharram the appearance of a happy festival but in reality it is an expression of grief and sorrow.Mawlid (Barah Wafat Celebration)

Id-e-Milad is a festival of both rejoicing and mourning.
