Muharram’s first ten days hold special significance, marked by majalis (gatherings) where Muslims reflect on the sufferings of the Ahl-e-Bayt (AS). Pakistani artists not only participate in these commemorations but also amplify the message through their art. Mohsin Abbas Haider’s emotional recitation and Asim Azhar’s melodic noha on TikTok have gone viral, while Samar Jafri’s poetic tribute underscores the younger generation’s connection to this tradition.

Beyond performances, many celebrities also organize sabeels (charity water stalls) and join processions, embodying the spirit of communal mourning. Israr Shah’s powerful YouTube upload and Imran Abbas’s hauntingly beautiful recitation serve as modern-day reminders of Karbala’s timeless message.

In a world often divided, these artistic expressions unite Pakistanis and global Muslims in shared grief and inspiration. As one fan commented on Asim Azhar’s post: “Your voice carries the pain of Imam Hussain (RA) straight to our hearts.”

Through nohas, Pakistan’s entertainment icons prove that art can be both a tribute and a torchbearer for Imam Hussain (RA) eternal stand against oppression.
