Weeping on Imam Al Hussein as Catharsis

الملخص

The present paper attempts to put an answer to a big question that it is "why does  the reader or  the listener read or listen to the tragic story of Imam Al Hussein and what can he get from that real tragic story?

 Thus we try to put  a spiritual answer when we the term "catharsis" as  a point start in order to get a reply to that big question.

 The reason of the selection of the topic for this study is to understand the meaning of weeping on Imam  Al Hussein.

 Also when we speak about the Tragedy of Imam Hussein in the Battle of Karbala and the relation with catharsis, we should know who is Imam Al Hussein (A. S)? ….And what is catharsis?  …..Then we can get the relationship between them.
