 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.
