About

EXPERIENCE MUHARRAM CONVENTION

Experience Muharram Convention is a transformative 13-day convention commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as). Join a diverse, nationwide community for spiritual reflection, educational workshops, and cultural commemorations. Engage with lectures by renowned speakers, participate in interactive sessions, and connect with others who share a spiritual connection with the tragedy of Imam Husayn (as).

THE THEME

This year’s theme, “i belong.,” truly captures the deep connection Muslims feel with Imam Husayn (a). As we gather during Muharram, we are continuously reminded of the profound sense of belonging that connects us to his enduring legacy. The lessons of Karbala, with their emphasis on sacrifice, justice, and unwavering faith, inspire us to strengthen and unify our own communities to cultivate environments where each and every community member feels a personal connection to Imam Husayn (a). Through our shared commitment, we honor his memory and carry forward his timeless message together.
