CHATTOGRAM, July 6, 2024 (BSS)- The 39th edition of the International

According to the management committee, all necessary preparations have been

Rasool. The Mahfil will continue till July 17 at Dampara Jamiatul Falah
Mosque Plaza in the port city.

Islamic scholars from home and abroad will come up with their deliberations
on the dedication and supreme sacrifice for Islam by the Karbala martyrs.

Shahadat-e-Karbala Mahfil Management Committee Chairman Sufi Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, also chairman of the PHP Family, disclosed the information at a press conference held at PHP VIP Lounge of Chattogram Press Club on Saturday.

In the press conference, the council chairman and prominent industrialist
Sufi Mohamed Mizanur Rahman said that love for people, not revenge, is the
characteristic of the Prophet's family. They have left that example of love
by sacrificing life in the Karbala battle.

"A pure heart should be discovered with knowledge. To fear Allah, that is the
name of Taqwa," he added.

Highlighting the significance of the month of Muharram, Sufi Mizanur Rahman
explained that it marks the beginning of the Hijri New Year and holds great
historical and global importance.

He recounted the tragic events that took place in Karbala, where the innocent
members of Ahle Bait, including Imam Hussain (Ra), were mercilessly martyred
by the forces of Yazid, a sworn enemy of the Prophet's family, on Muharram 10
of 61 Hijri
