"Our knowledge of Imam Hussein (AS) is limited to his life when he was 57 years old and his 10 years of Imamate and the 10 days of Karbala. Studying the life of Imam Hussein (AS) from all sides and publishing it is a proper way to introduce the character of that Imam. The outstanding event of Ashura has caused his other parts of personality remain in a shadow”, Dr. kamijani said in the ceremony.
He further added that Shiite Imams used to compose poems according to their time and place and sometimes relied on old poetry too. There are many poems quoted from Imam Hussein both in the event of Karbala and on several other occasions.
