The Hussaini rituals of the Fatimids and the Bubbahis, a comparative study

Abstract

Rituals are everything related to solid doctrinal principles linked to the behaviors of people in a particular society or nation. They hold a place of respect and affection in people's hearts and minds, becoming deeply rooted in their beliefs, especially the doctrinal rituals of Husayn, as they are part of the beliefs of Muslims and even their lives, and tampering with them is tantamount to tampering with their religious and human dignity, values, and customs, and even tampering with the very essence of religion and the nation.

Therefore, we have highlighted the need for these rituals, which require a great deal of attention and sacrifice from people in order to glorify and spread these Husayni rituals, as they are an integral part of the permanence and survival of religion, the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), and the nation. They embody the application of eternal human values and meanings in history and the human conscience, as they are alive and expressive, born from the core of the message, religion, and humanity's suffering against injustice and the corruption of tyranny.
