Local and international media circulated a footage showing a helicopter carrying the banner of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, fluttering over the skies of Michigan, USA, in commemoration of the sorrowful occasion of Ashura.

The majestic scene drew attention and impressed viewers, coinciding with a massive procession of mourners who gathered to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, his family, and his companions (peace be upon them) in the Battle of Karbala.

The procession saw wide participation from the Muslim community in Michigan, who marched through the city’s streets carrying Husseini flags and banners, expressing their sorrow and grief over the events that occurred in Holy Karbala over 1400 years ago.

This event reflects the deep spiritual and cultural connection of the followers of Ahlulbayt, peace be upon them, around the world, and shows how modern technologies can be used to commemorate an important historical religious event.
