Kufa University Hosts Seminar on Ashura Uprising
According to Qaf news agency, the Astan (custodianship) of Imam Hussein’s (AS) holy shrine organized the program at the university’s Faculty of Jurisprudence.
It was addressed by Antoine Bara, a Christian scholar and author of a book titled “Imam Hussein in Christian Ideology”.
A large number of university students participated in the seminar, asking questions about the status of Imam Hussein’s (AS) thought in the world.
The scholar also attended the fourth edition of “Imam Hussein (AS)” scholarly forum held in Basra University last week.
In an interview on his book about Imam Hussein (AS), Bara maintained that Imam Hussein (AS) is not exclusive to Shia or Muslims but belongs to the whole world because he is the “conscience of religions”.
Bara considers that being a Shia is “the highest degree of love for God”.
