All around the world, Black flags are being raised as we enter the Holy month of Muharram. A time to remember and reflect on the tragedy of Karbala. An integral part of this is the recitation of Nauhas, Marthiyas and Latmiyahs. Which will be heard through these days in every language imaginable.
Thus we have gathered some simple recitations which you can recite with your kids at home for the 12 days of Muharram. Note that these recitations are NOT in any particular order. As we know the true reward of all these reciters, poets, producers and artists lies with Allah (swt). Inshallah we will update this list and our databases with new recitations as they come.
For each recitation we have included a link to the original Video, and a link to our database where you can find the full lyrics to practice with.
