The Lispective
Hey there, and thank you for stumbling onto my page.I've always wanted to discuss matters I find important to me in a simple, easy to understand way where I benefit from it as much as any listener. Over time, I discovered that the things I wanted to discuss were broader than simply a 'one episode topic.' I also discovered that what I wanted to talk about were more than just one 'thing' (historical/philosophical/topical). Amongst conversations with others, I realised I wasn't alone in this. Most of us want to talk, to listen... to share, Especially regarding some of the matters I am keen to discuss.Cue: The Lispective. One lisper's platform to provide his perspective on things, and share others' along the way. It would be a pleasure to have you alongside on the journey

Episode 9
Every community mourns in different ways. For Muslims, most specifically Shia Muslims, there is no bigger tragedy than the tragedy of Ashura. For Shia Muslims, the 10th of Muharram each year represents the saddest period of the calendar year and one Shias mourn for; not just with their tears, but through practices that have existed for centuries, if not over a millenia.
Shia Islam is often marred through images of some of these practices. Many non-Muslims, and even some Muslims, cannot wrap their heads around it. Join my friend and I once more into a deep dive of what these practices are, how different communities do different things and the importance of it in commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (PBUH).
