MUHARRAM – INTERVIEW WITH MOHAMMAD KHANI, QOM SEMINARY

SHAFAQNA – Shafaqna had the privilege of interviewing Arash Mohammad Khani in Qom – Iran.

Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, Arash Mohammad Khani has been studying in the Islamic seminary of Qom since 2017.

SHAFAQNA – How would you convey the message of Muharram to non-Muslims and non-Shia?

SHAFAQNA – Beyond the historical facts and the tragedy of Karbala, how has Imam Hussain’s sacrifice impacted Islam’s traditions? What knowledge and wisdom did he impart the world?

SHAFAQNA – Sunni Islam does not recognise the infallibility of the 12 Imams, thus allowing for the argument that Imam Hussain illegally rebelled against the rule of Yazid.
What do you say to such narrative?

SHAFAQNA – There is a Truth to Ashura that has defied and sat beyond time and space, allowing for communities across the ages to draw strength, resilience, and hope in the leadership set forth by Imam Hussain. What does this mean today?

SHAFAQNA – We often forget that among the 72 brave souls who stood by our Imam, many were non-Muslims. Are we missing the bigger picture here? Are there lessons we have yet to learn maybe we missed as to the universality of Ashura?
