This text is the basis of faith and Hadith of Shia Muslims around the world. It is also a part of the composition of India&#8217;s leading Sufi musician Amir Khusro, which is inspired by the same Hadith. It means &#8216;Whoever considers me as Maula, Ali is his Maula too&#8217;. Shias and other Muslims have different opinions on the meaning of the word &#8216;Maula&#8217; in it. Historian <a href=\"https:\/\/ranasafvi.com\/how-interpretation-of-the-word-maula-caused-the-shia-sunni-schism-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rana Safvi<\/a> wrote on this in 2017 that there are different interpretations of this sentence and the word Maula in it, which cause controversy between the Shia community and other Muslims. In our investigation, we found that there is no mention of &#8216;Ghazwa-e-Hind&#8217; in this text in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alt News performed a reverse image search of the viral photo and discovered multiple <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.islamtimes.com\/en\/article\/1071721\/ashura-the-day-that-is-marked-across-whole-world\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> linking it to the Battle of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.mehrnews.com\/news\/217575\/Ashura-aims-to-fight-for-every-universal-righteous-cause\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Karbala (presently a city in Iraq)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an important event in Islamic history. The image depicts the aftermath of the battle, where Hazrat Imam Hussain and his followers were martyred fighting against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/c-karbala.com\/en\/kcsrs-activities\/4212\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tyrant Yazid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The woman holding the flag is Hazrat Zainab, sister of Imam Hussain. Following the martyrdom, Hazrat Zainab gave a speech in Yazid\u2019s court, defying the oppressor. In Islamic iconography, the image is often used as a symbolic representation of resistance against tyranny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-11-125107.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We found a tweet from an Iranian journalist in 2019 featuring the same image. The tweet described the unveiling of a new mural in Valiasr Square, Tehran, inspired by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osveh.org\/en\/relogious\/the-visible-and-hidden-role-of-women-in-karbala\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It signifies the flag held by Hazrat Zainab, symbolising the continuity of resistance passed on to modern-day protectors of the shrine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To gain more clarity, Alt News contacted Professor Syed Zameer Abbas Jafri, an Indian-Iranian scholar at Al-Mustafa University in Qom, Iran.
