'''Ta'ziya''' is an Islamic Shi'ite ritual performed mainly in Iran. The Arabic term ta'ziya (Per., Ta'ziyeh) means to mourn or to offer one's condolences for a death. It is also sometimes called ta’ziya khani, or shabih khani. The term taʻziya has been used primarily in Iran to refer to a Shi'ite religious ritual consisting of a theatrical re-enactment of the tragic seventh century Battle of [[Karbala]]. This historic battle was fought between the followers of prophet [[Mohammad]]'s grandson, [[Imam Husayn]] and the troops of the second [[Umayyad]] caliph [[Yazid]]. While taʼziya performance rituals have been mostly restricted to Iran, the Shi'a of South Asia and Iraq use the term taʻziya to refer to a model or replica of Husayn's tomb, which they use in their ritual processions, after which they are ritually discarded. | '''Ta'ziya''' is an Islamic Shi'ite ritual performed mainly in Iran.
