Iranians observe the Day of Ali Asghar

TEHRAN, IRAN - NOVEMBER 8: Iranian women holding their babies in their arms participate in the Day of Ali Asghar (youngest child of Imam Hussain) on the first Friday of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, at the Mosalla mosque on November 8, 2013 in Tehran, Iran. In the ceremony which held in the commemoration of Ali Asghar, hundreds of mothers took part with their kids clothing the Ali Asghar style to show their solidarity with Rubab (Ali Asghars mother). The six-month-old baby Hazrat Ali Asghar (AS) was killed by an arrow that hit his throat while he was in his father's arms on Ashura (the tenth of Muharram), which was the day Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions were martyred.
