On the birth anniversary of Imam Hussain (a.s.), in a press conference on Sunday, March 6, 2022, at the Art Department of the Islamic Development Organization, the call for the \u201cSecond Cultural and Artistic AhlulBayt (a.s.) Festival\u201d was announced as the \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d festival.<\/p>\n
The festival will be organized by the Ashura International Foundation, with the participation of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the Art Department of the Islamic Development Organization, the Comprehensive Islamic Art Website, the ABNA News Agency, and other scientific, cultural, and artistic institutions. In the first press conference of the festival, the director of the International Ashura Foundation called on artists, writers, researchers, enthusiasts, and related institutions to participate in the production of works about Imam Hussain (a.s.) and the culture of Ashura.<\/p>\n
\u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d will be held in five different sections and branches: Akhtari<\/strong><\/p>\n At the beginning of his speech, while congratulating the blessed Eids of the month of Sha\u2019ban, Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan Akhtari stated, \u201cSha\u2019ban is the month of light, Velayat, Imamate and the month of happiness of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). The birth days of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Hazrat Abbas (a.s.), Imam Sajjad (a.s.) and Hazrat Ali Akbar (a.s.) are in this month. Also, Imam Mahdi (a.s.) was born on the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0of Sha\u2019ban. I offer congratulations on all these occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAshura International Foundation, in cooperation with other institutions, will hold the \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d festival to benefit from research, talents, and tastes in the world in introducing the school of Imam Hussain (a.s.),\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cAshura International Foundation is an international non-governmental organization,\u201d he clarified, \u201cThis foundation has been established with the aim of promoting, explaining, and introducing the school of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and introducing the greatness and great goals of Ashura.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe blessed life of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and his resistance has a constructive role in society,\u201d he said, \u201cAshura Foundation is trying to introduce the followers of AhlulBayt (a.s.) better and more deeply, to make Muslims more aware of the greatness of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and also to introduce that Imam to non-Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCurrently, the five billion non-Muslims in the world have no knowledge of Islam, the Quran, the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), the AhlulBayt (a.s.) and the world reformer, namely Imam Mahdi (a.s.), and it is the duty of the seminaries, universities and religious and cultural centers to try to introduce the world to these concepts. We need to introduce these concepts to the people of the world,\u201d stated the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, referring to the need to introduce pure Islamic culture to the people of the world.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the Supreme Leader has repeatedly pointed out, it is necessary to introduce the school of Islam in a clear, scientific, and logical language, and in the meantime, we must explain to others the role of Ashura in the destiny of human beings today,\u201d Akhtari added.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we can introduce the attraction of Ashura to the followers of other religions and sects, we have taken a good step, as many people have changed with the understanding of this issue,\u201d said the head of the International Ashura Foundation, emphasizing the influence of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in guiding humanity to God Almighty.<\/p>\n Explaining the name of the festival, Ayatollah Akhtari said, \u201cThe Arabic phrase \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d (I am from Hussain) has been quoted in different interpretations and ways in the words of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) towards Imam Hussain (a.s.). In the authentic Shiite and Sunni books, there are authentic and certain narrations that the Prophet said, \u201c\u062d\u0633\u06cc\u0646\u064c \u0645\u0646\u0651\u064a \u0648 \u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646 \u062d\u0633\u06cc\u0646\u201d (Hussein is from me; and I am from him).\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe life of Imam Hussain (a.s.) has different dimensions. In human history, there are great personalities and great heroes. But among them, certainly the distinguished figure and great hero of history who could create a unique movement of Ashura in history, was Imam Hussain (a.s.). Therefore, it is necessary to know the life of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and his role in creating a righteous and felicitous human society,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n \u201cCountering distortions and explaining facts is another goal of this festival. Some opponents and enemies of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) always try to cast doubt on some Islamic and historical truths by raising doubts. Therefore, our duty is enlightenment to remove the ambiguity that the Umayyads and Yazid created for this thought.,\u201d stated the head of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.<\/p>\n According to him, the five sections of the festival are as follows:<\/p>\n 1. Cinema:<\/strong><\/p>\n Short Narrative film,<\/p>\n Short documentary,<\/p>\n Animation,<\/p>\n Script writing.<\/p>\n 2. Poetry:<\/strong><\/p>\n Classical poetry,<\/p>\n New poem,<\/p>\n Children and adolescent poetry<\/p>\n Writing Lamentation for AhlulBayt (a.s.)<\/p>\n 3. Written Works<\/strong><\/p>\n Book,<\/p>\n Article.<\/p>\n 4. Cyberspace Content Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n Motion graphics,<\/p>\n Podcasts and music videos<\/p>\n 5. Special ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n Describing the \u201cspecial ideas\u201d section as important, the head of the Ashura International Foundation said, \u201cIn this section, the presentation of new ideas with special arts, new expressions and different languages will be honored.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe invite all scholars, researchers, artists, poets, writers, filmmakers and scientific and cultural institutions to participate in enlightenment. Rationalization and artistic activity on this beautiful saying of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) that \u201cI am from Hussain\u201d is a big step towards this enlightenment,\u201d Ayatollah Akhtari said in the end, while re-inviting the audience of this call.<\/p>\n The \u201cAna Min Hussein Festival\u201d is the continuation of the Grand Prize of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h): Hosseini Aref<\/strong><\/p>\n At the beginning of the meeting, while congratulating the birthday of Imam Hussain (a.s.), the secretary of the \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d cultural and artistic festival said, \u201cOn the blessed day of this Eid, today the call for the \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d cultural and artistic festival will be announced in several different sections.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis festival is the second edition of the series of cultural and artistic festivals of the AhlulBayt (a.s.). The first edition of the festival was held in 2013 and 2014, entitled \u201cThe Grand Prize of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h)\u201d, which was well received,\u201d Hojat al-Islam Hosseini Aref continued.<\/p>\n \u201cThat festival coincided with the insults to the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) in the West through cartoons and films. In response to these insulting actions, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly held the Grand Prize of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), which was well received by artists, filmmakers, and writers from all over the world, and from Indonesia to the United States, 898 works of art were sent to the festival secretariat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIn recent years, we have witnessed an unprecedented attention to Imam Hussain (a.s.) in the world. People from different religions and sects have been drawn to this enlightening fact, which is clearly manifested in the great Arbaeen march, and in it, magnificent scenes of the presence of people are created, regardless of color, race, border, and nationality. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the culture of Ashura to non-Shiites and non-Muslims as much as possible. To this end, we launched the \u201cAna Min Hussain\u201d cultural and artistic festival, which is based on explaining the relationship between the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and Imam Hussain (a.s.),\u201d said the secretary of \u201cAna Man Hussain Festival\u201d about the motivation of holding this festival.<\/p>\n \u201cThe call for the festival will be published today, March 6, 2022, and the deadline for submission of works will be September 22, 2022. Therefore, artists, poets and writers have six and a half months to produce works. The verification, selection, and judging process will be completed by January 20, 2023. The closing ceremony of the festival will be held simultaneously with the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 2023, as well as the month of Sha\u2019ban 1444 AH. We hope that for the sake of Imam Hussain (a.s.), we will be saved from the various strains of the Covid virus until that day so that we can hold a glorious closing ceremony,\u201d Hosseini Aref said, regarding the festival schedule.<\/p>\n Noting that holding various workshops to help writers and filmmakers with content will be another activity of this festival during the next year, the secretary of \u201cAna Min Hussain Festival\u201d said, \u201cThe steps of receiving the form and submitting the works will be performed from the comprehensive site of Islamic art.\u201d<\/p>\n At the end of the meeting, Ayatollah Akhtari, the head of the International Ashura Foundation, and Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Taghi Ansari, director and producer of religious films, unveiled the poster for the call of the \u201cAna Min Hussain Festival\u201d. In this poster, the goals, regulations, different sections and how to communicate with the festival secretariat are specified.<\/p>\n To know more about the festival, those who interested can call +9825-32131320, or +989122530366.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The director of the International Ashura Foundation called on figures, Ulama, researchers, institutions, writers, artists, and those interested in producing works in the about Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Ashura to enlighten and explain the life of Imam Hussain (a.s.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ana-min-husayn-intl-festival"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3136"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3160,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3136\/revisions\/3160"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ashura-i-f.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
