Between two Harams (Bain ul Haramain)

Between Tomb of Imam Hussain , his companions and tomb of Hazrat Abbas lies a kilometre long corridor which is called Bain ul Haramain.

This is hub of all the mourning activities performed at Karbala. All the mourning processions pass from here to go to both tombs.

Historically it is place of battle. Now two way sheds are built for visitors all along the corridor. During first ten days of Moharram and later too, it serves as resting place. Date trees are also planted around the passage, giving it a beautiful view.

On the western side of corridor there is a verandah where mourners can take a nap.

There are specific a'maals which are performed at this place on 10th of Moharram. A number of books explain the procedure and text of prayers which are to be said here.

One can stand between the Haramain and can visualize the battle of Karbala and great sacrifice of Imam and his companions.
