Similarly, Husayn's mother Fatima is believed to be weeping for him in paradise and the weeping of believers is considered to be a way of sharing her sorrows.[113] Special gatherings (majalis; sing. majlis) are arranged in places reserved for this purpose, called husayniyya.[111] In these gatherings the story of Karbala is narrated and various elegies (rawda) are recited by professional reciters (rawda khwan).[115]
