A Majlis book is a written collection of speeches, narrations, and religious discussions that are traditionally delivered in gatherings of mourning, known as Majalis. These Majalis commemorate the sacrifices of the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S), especially the tragedy of Karbala. The purpose of a Majlis book is to preserve these heartfelt sermons, historical events, and spiritual lessons so that readers can learn, reflect, and strengthen their connection with the values of Islam.
A typical Majlis book includes:
-
Historical accounts of the lives of prophets and Imams
-
Events of Karbala, highlighting the bravery, patience, and sacrifice of Imam Hussain (A.S) and his companions
-
Masaib (tragedies) that bring emotional and spiritual impact to the audience
-
Moral lessons, guiding believers toward righteousness, justice, and steadfastness
-
Duas, Ziyarat, and supplications that deepen spiritual reflection
Such books serve as a source of knowledge, inspiration, and remembrance. They help keep the message of Karbala alive across generations and provide authentic material for Zakireen, students, and anyone seeking to understand the depth of Islamic history and the ethos of sacrifice.
