Song «Hayhat Minna al-Dhillah» performed in Tehran's Beheshti Metro

On the occasion of Ashura, the sound of the famous Shia mourning verse "Heyhat manna al-dhilla" (Humiliation is not for us) resonated through Tehran's Beheshti Metro station, as worshippers gathered to commemorate the tragic events of Karbala.

• The verse, a powerful declaration of resistance and dignity, has become an integral part of Ashura commemorations across Iran
• Metro passengers joined in the collective mourning, transforming the public transit space into a spiritual gathering
• The commemoration reflects the deep religious significance of Ashura in Iranian society. While such religious expressions are common during Ashura in mosques and public squares, their manifestation in modern public spaces like metro stations demonstrates the pervasive nature of these observances in everyday Iranian life.
