Shiite practices

Shiite practices center on deep devotion to Allah and respect for the Prophet Muhammad's family, especially his descendants known as Imams. They observe daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and almsgiving, similar to other Muslims. Unique to Shiites are rituals honoring the martyrdom of Imam Hussain during the month of Muharram, especially during Ashura, which symbolizes standing against injustice. They also celebrate the birth and death anniversaries of Imams, viewing these events as opportunities for reflection and renewal of faith. Overall, Shiite practices emphasize recognizing the spiritual authority of Imams and maintaining a strong community bond rooted in historical and theological significance.
