It is celebrated today in Sari Salltëk, Kruja, in the Bektashi tekke, the Day of Ashura. Present were the World Leader of the Bektashis, His Grace Haxhi Dede Baba Edmond Brahimaj, senior clerics and many Bektashi believers, who were joined by the President Sh.T.Z.Ilir Meta.
This is an important day for the Bektashis. The day of Ashura is considered the day of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn, who was besieged in the desert of Karbala 1400 years ago and killed along with a large number of other believers to save the true word of God and Islam.
On this beautiful day, where the sun shone on the top of the mountain of Kruja, His Grace, Haxhi Dede Baba Edmond Brahimaj has given messages of peace and love to all. He greeted the people where he gave and received many congratulations.
Such holidays unite not only believers, but all people, so it is important that they are spent in harmony and with loved ones.
While in his speech, President Meta, among other things, said: To throw away the sick ego, greed and indifference and to take responsibility before the homeland, family, society and nation.
