. Scottish Shia Muslims, annual Imam Hussain Peace Walk, reading Quran through 36 Great Jct Street, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, EH6 5LA. Photographed on 23 July 2023. The Annual Peace Processions of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Shi'a Muslim communities of Scotland unite at these to walk in remembrance of the exalted sacrifice of Imam Hussain, grandson of the Holy Prophet, who was brutally killed in battle, along with his family and friends, for upholding the purest human values and for standing out against corruption and evil. His stance was a stance of divine love and of justice and mercy. a stance of the truth against falsehood. a stance of human awakening. and a stance of freedom against oppression. At this time, millions of Muslims across the world commemorate his martyrdom and remember the teachings he lived and died by. He is the inspiration of our mission. Our thanks extend to the Shi'a communities of Scotland for organising these processions.
