The Mourning of Muharram is an important period of mourning in Islam, taking place in Muharram which is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is also called the Remembrance of Muharram.
Many of the events associated with the remembrance take place in congregation halls known as Hussainia.

The event marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala when Imam Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), and a Shia Imam, was killed by the forces of the second Umayad caliph Yazid I.

The event is marked by arranging 'majalis' (gatherings) to review Islamic teachings and to commemorate Imam Hussain's sacrifice.
The mourning reaches its climax on the tenth day, known as Ashura, on which the forces of Yazid killed the 72 individuals who fought, including Imam Hussain a.s and his family and supporters.
The women and children left living were made prisoners and transported to Yazid's court in Damascus.

The words Azadari and Majalis-e Aza have been exclusively used in connection with the remembrance ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain a.s.
Majalis-e Aza, also known as Aza-e Husayn, includes mourning congregations, lamentations, matam and all such actions which express the emotions of grief and above all, repulsion against what Yazid stood for.

The term majalis has both a grammatical meaning and a meaning which relates to Aza-e-Husayn. In its technical sense, a majalis is a meeting, a session or a gathering..
The Azadari of Muharram was started by the family of Muhammad (the Ahl-ul-Bayt) after the death of Muhammad's(s.a.w) grandson Husayn ibn Ali at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.
Following the battle of Karbala, Muhammad's granddaughter Zaynab binte Ali a.s and sister of imam Husayn a.s, began mourning for the fallen and making speeches against Husayn ibn Ali's opponents Ibn Ziyad and Yazid I.
News of Husayn ibn Ali's death was also spread by Imam Zain-ul-Abideen a.s, who succeeded imam Husayn a.s as the Imam, via sermons and speeches throughout Iraq, Syria and Hejaz.

Sayedah Zainab a.s and Imam Zain-ul-Abideen a.s informed the people that Yazid had martyred Imam Husayn a.s and seventy-two of his companions including his six month old son Ali Asghar, and that their women and children were taken as prisoners to Syria.
When word of mourning reached Yazid he decided to release the captive women and children from the prison in Damascus, out of fear of public revolt against his rule.
He sent for Imam Zain-ul-Abideen a.s, informed him of the impending release and asked if he wished for anything further.imam Zain-ul-abideen a.s said he would consult with Sayedah Zainab a.s.
She asked Yazid to provide a place where the she (a.s) and the womenfolk could mourn for Imam Hussain a.s martydom
