H. E. Sayyed M. H. Fadlallah asserts that the true purpose of Ashoura is not merely remembrance, but to be a catalyst for change. He explains, "What we want from Ashoura" is for it to incite our minds and purify our hearts, thereby elevating the level of Muslims. This renewal should enable a cultural, political, and social revolution to combat the "backwardness" and "deviations that are considered sacred among the people."
