ITREB Thought Of The Day
An Alam, or processional standard, is used during Shia processions and important events, particularly on the day of Ashura, the tenth day of the month of Muharram, to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Hussain, in the seventh century in Karbala, modern-day Iraq. They are usually made of gilded and openwork brass, with intricate figures and engravings such as lions, dragons, and birds. Alams are detailed with arabesque designs and calligraphy, often bearing the names of Prophet Muhammad, Hazrat Ali, and other members of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). The Aga Khan Museum has a wide collection of artefacts from the history of Muslim civilisations including this Alam (pictured) and others.
