Spreading the message
The Ashura tent is an annual public awareness activity that takes place at selected locations around Copenhagen.
Generosity in focus
The goal is to provide information about Ashura and its numerous programs, as well as about the annual Ashura procession, where thousands mark the day with a symbolic procession.
Information is also provided about the culture and traditions of this celebration.
Mahatma Gandi, Indian freedom fighter (1869-1948):
"I am more convinced than ever that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in these days. It was the determined simplicity and the complete ego-annihilation of Hussain. The meticulous respect for promises, and his intense devotion to his friends and followers, and his fearlessness. It was Hussain's absolute trust in God and in his own mission and not the sword that carried everything before him and overcame every obstacle."
