'''The Shrine of Imām Ḥusayn (a)''' (Arabic: حرم الإمام الحسین (ع)) is the resting place of [[Imam Husayn (a)]], some people from [[Banu Hashim]] and some of his companions in the [[Event of Karbala]], who were martyred on [[Muharram]] 10th, 61 A.H. (October 10, 680) in a battle with the army of [['Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad]]. [[Mukhtar al-Thaqafi]] made the first building on Imam Husayn (a)'s grave. The building was later reconstructed, repaired, and developed by Shiites and followers of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], especially kings and governors.

Visiting Imam Husayn (a)'s shrine is a Shiite practice recommended in Shiite [[hadiths]]. Most visitors or pilgrims congregate in Imam Husayn (a)'s shrine on [[Ashura]], [[Arba'in]] and [[Sha'ban 15]]. In Shiite [[fiqh]] or jurisprudence, there are rulings specific to Imam Husayn (a)'s shrine and his soil.
