During this observance, Sakineh’s voice narrates much of the nowheh (“NO-heh”) poetry performed by girls. A central voice in poetic narrations during this observance is that of a woman who became the spiritual “conqueror of Damascus” after she addressed its court after the Night of the Dispossessed. Women’s gatherings during this observance occur in places called zaynabiyyeh. Vocalizing during this observance displays solidarity with a historical jihad, so an imam will intercede on the Day of Judgment for the people, often women, who ritually weep during it. Ta’ziyeh are reenactments of the event commemorated by this observance, which also involves matam, or chest-beating. The permissibility of tatbir, or self-flagellation, during this observance is contested. For 10 points, Āshūrā’ takes place on the tenth day of what month-long observance, during which Shias mourn the martyrs of the Battle of Karbala? ■END■
ANSWER: mourning of Muharram [accept Azadari; accept Sogvari; accept Aza-e-Hussain; accept Āshūrā’ until read; prompt on grieving Husayn or commemorating Husayn or remembering Husayn or similar answers; until “Karbala” is read, prompt the dead from Karbala in place of “Husayn”]
