Hawzah News Agency (Tehran, Iran) - Here is an excerpt from Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks on Ashura Day:

The lesson we should learn is to contemplate and realize how Hussain ibn Ali (a.s.), the child who was so much admired by the prophet (s.a.) in public, the one called "the eminent youth of heaven," only half a century after the death of the prophet (s.a.) was killed in such a brutal manner.
