“You might think that is very fitting for shia channel such as Imam Hussein TV to highlight such an event…“
As we enter the month of Muharram, hearts around the world turn towards Karbala. It’s a time of deep reflection, sorrow, and connection. For some its easy to get carried away with what life can demands of you but for many of the lovers of Imam Hussein(as), the feeling of sadness and mourning begins with the powerful moment when the red flag above the shrine of Imam Hussain(as) is lowered and replaced with black — a significant symbol that the season of remembrance has begun.
At Imam Hussain TV, this moment marks the beginning of our most important programming of the year. You might think that is very fitting for shia channel such as Imam Hussein TV to highlight such an event and you are quite right to think so. But even for Imam Hussein TV you can feel there is a change in atmosphere and content. Evidently we will see the usual contents winding down and there is a suddent spring of content focused on Karbala, with their lives stream and London seasonal Muharram lectures.
For the ten nights of Muharram, IHTV will be broadcasting a range of special content to help you stay connected to the message of Karbala. Our team will be live streaming from the holy shrine in Karbala itself, bringing the atmosphere of grief and devotion straight to your screen. At the same time, we’ll be airing thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting lectures from scholars based in London — discussions that explore the relevance of Imam Hussain’s (as) stand in our lives today.
The remembrance of Imam Hussain (as) is more than just tradition — it’s the foundation of why this channel exists. Every year, we work to improve and deepen that experience for our viewers, and this year is no different. Whether you’re tuning in for the poetry, the lectures, or the raw emotion from Karbala, there’s something here for everyone who loves Ahlulbayt (as).
This is also a season of giving. Alongside our programming, we’ll be sharing several charitable campaigns to support those in need. We encourage you to keep an eye on these opportunities and to donate when and where you can. And most importantly, please don’t forget the families who are struggling — visit imamhusseincharity.com to support vital causes throughout the month.
Stay with us during these sacred nights. Mourn with us. Reflect with us. Give with us. The story of Karbala is not just one of tragedy — it’s one of hope, resistance, and love. And we are here to tell it, together.
