In this book Waugh wrote: "The most important ritual of public devotion for [[Twelver Shiʿism|Twelver Shi'i]] Muslims of South Asian origin in North America is undoubtedly the Majlis or lamentation assembly. This ritual is most commonly associated with the annual commemoration of the [[martyrdom]] of [[Imam Hussain]] in the lunar of [[Muharram]]. While the Majlis is essentially a devotional, it is also a fundamental vehicle for the maintenance of [[Shiʿa|Shi'i]] culture" | |||
