Seasonal Hussaini & Islamic content
Religious seasons are opportunities for dignified, impactful content. This guide helps you prepare early for each season using QISSAH tools, while respecting the sensitivity of each occasion. Dates follow the Hijri calendar and shift each year, so we describe the season, not a fixed date.
QISSAH issues no religious rulings and sets no canonical dates; refer to your own marjaʿiyya for dates and rulings.
Muharram & Ashura
When: Start of the Hijri year (shifts yearly)
What to prepare: Session and procession announcements, dignified Hussaini film scenes, and explanatory infographics about the Ashura uprising. Prepare your visual identity before the season begins.
Safar & Arbaeen
When: About forty days after Muharram
What to prepare: Walk and ziyarah content, Arbaeen condolences, and service/procession announcements. Focus on dignity and the spirit of service.
Ramadan
When: The ninth Hijri month
What to prepare: Daily educational infographics, greetings and evening-program announcements, and dignified spiritual content. A unified-identity series leaves a deeper impression.
Births & martyrdoms

Matam event seasons

What to prepare: Session schedules, speaker and reciter announcements, and event recaps. Keep a unified identity across the whole season.
Children's Islamic education
