Maschhad wurde um das Jahr 823 gegründet. Der Name (arabisch „Ort des Märtyrers“) entstand, weil dort das Grabmal des achten schiitischen Imams Ali ibn Musā ar-Rezā liegt, der dort der schiitischen Überlieferung zufolge auf Geheiss des Kalifen al-Ma'mūn vergiftet wurde. Davor war die Stadt ein eher unbedeutendes Dorf mit dem Namen Sanābād, das sich nach dem Tod des Imams zu einer wichtigen Wallfahrtsstätte entwickelte. Ein Heiligtum zu Ehren des Imams wurde errichtet, das heute eine der reichhaltigsten Sammlungen von Kunst- und Kulturgütern des Iran beherbergt. Verschiedene theologische Schulen des schiitischen Islam nahmen von hier ihren Ausgang (Wikipedia).
Almost everything about Mashhad relates to its role as the holiest city in Iran, even its name (literally: burial place of the martyr). Mashhad started life out as Sanabad, a village pitstop for trade caravans headed towards Turkmenistan. But in the ninth century, the eighth Shi'ite Imam Ali Bin Moosa Al Reza, the great grand son of Imam Ali who was the cousin & son in law of Prophet Mohammad was poisoned by the caliph of the time. Imam Reza was buried in Mashhad, and his shrine became one of the holiest sites to the shi'ite muslims after the Holy Kaaba in Saudi Arabia and Karbala in Iraq (wikitravel).

Wikipedia: Ashura is a day of commemoration in Islam. It occurs annually on the tenth of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. For Sunni Muslims, Ashura marks the parting of the Red Sea by Moses and the salvation of the Israelites. Also on this day, Noah disembarked from the Ark, God forgave Adam, and Joseph was released from prison, among various other auspicious events having occurred on Ashura according to Sunni tradition. Ashura is celebrated in Sunni Islam through supererogatory fasting and other acceptable expressions of joy.
By contrast, for Shia Muslims, Ashura is a day of mourning as they annually commemorate the death of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia imam. Husayn refused on moral grounds to pledge his allegiance to the Umayyad caliph Yazid ibn Mu'awiya (r. 680–683) and was subsequently killed, alongside most of his male relatives and his small retinue, by the Umayyad army in the Battle of Karbala on Ashura 61 AH (680 CE). Among the Shia, mourning for Husayn is viewed as an act of protest against oppression, a struggle for God, and a means of securing the intercession of Husayn in the afterlife. Ashura is observed through mourning gatherings, processions, and dramatic reenactments. In such ceremonies, Shia mourners strike their chests to share in the pain of Husayn.

In Kashan, Iran, the "Mad of Hussein" as they call themselves were mourning in memory of Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad, who was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I at Karbala (now in Iraq). The shia men were in a giant and dark room, moving and singing in circles for two hours listening to the Mollah words who was telling about glorious life of Hussein. The room was full and so hot that my camera was like coming out of a bath...Me too!

Millions of Muslims worldwide are now marking the holy day of Ashura.On Ashura, Shiite men flagellate themselves with chains and cut themselves with knives on their foreheads as a way to mourn for Hussein in a ritual called "tatbeer." Hundreds were seen on the streets of Karbala on Tuesday performing the ritual. Some Shiite clerics have condemned the practice and have advocated for donating blood instead.
A little tribute from me to The Martyrs of Karbala on the night of 10 Moharram 1436 Hijri i.e. 04 November 2014.
We must not forget the message of worshiping only One God i.e. none but Allah. The message that Imam Husain (3rd among 12) provoked in the hearts and thoughts of the human being by sacrificing not only his own but his companions' and his family's lives as well. Not only this, but his holy family was also disgraced by Yazid and his army.
The Fortress of Al-Ukhaidir is located roughly 50 km south of Karbala, Iraq. It is a large, rectangular fortress erected in 775 AD with a unique defensive style. Constructed by an Abbasid caliph, Ukhaidir represents Abbasid architectural innovation in the structures of its courtyards, residences and mosque. With the architectural design, visiting on a dusty yet sunny day offers a chance to capture shadows and illuminating light in the same scene.
In Kashan, Iran, the "Mad of Hussein" as they call themselves were mourning in memory of Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad, who was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I at Karbala (now in Iraq). The shia men were in a giant and dark room, crying like small kids with lots of tears and sobs while listening to the Mollah words who was telling about glorious life of Hussein. The room was so full and so hot that many had to go outside. This man, with his son, had left the room, and was crying like hundreds of others adults in the street. Many kids were with their parents, and did not understand this flood of emotion.
