According to the Arabic calendar, the Muharram fast is held about eleven days earlier than the previous year and begins with the Islamic New Year's Day on the 1st of Muharrem.
In order to feel its pain his suffering, the fasting and abstinence are practiced during these days of mourning. Later on, other descendants of the prophet family (Ehl-i Beyt) were murdered by the Umayyad dynasty. In honor of other imams, this period of fasting and mourning therefore lasts 12 days.
Alevis equate the Muharrem fast with kerbela, fasting and mourning. Empathizing with Karbala in the month of Muharrem is one of the most important cornerstones of Alevism for the faithful. The focus is on solidarity with those in need and the emphasis on togetherness.
After the 12-day fast, the day of Ashura begins, it consists of 12 different ingredients. | Roca (Roza, Roja) Muharreme [din.] |
