Iranians observe the Day of Ali Asghar

TEHRAN, IRAN - OCTOBER 7: Iranian women hold their baby in their arms as they take part 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 October 7, 2016 in Tehran, Iran. During the ceremony held to commemorate Ali Asghar, hundreds of women dress their children like Ali Asghar to show solidarity with Rubab (Ali Asghar'’s 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.
