Another name for Karbala. It is known by this name because of the tragic martyrdom of the Imam and what happened to the household's women and children on that day. The name of Imam Hussain's horse. White in color, Thol Janah was a true Arab horse. When Imam Hussain was killed on Ashoora, his horse jumped and kicked the enemy and killed some of them. He then came back to the tents screaming and hitting his feet on the ground. It is said that later on he went to the Furat (Euphrates) river and threw himself inside and disappeared. An angel with a broken wing that had fallen to an island. When Imam Hussain was born, he came with the help of the archangel Gabriel to the Prophet (pbuh&hf) and then to Imam Hussain's cot and rubbed his side on it. Suddenly Allah granted him a new wing. He went into the sky and promised that he would always make sure the Imam's callers would be heard by Imam Hussain. Ibn Abbas said that this angel is known in the skies as Ghulaam (slave) of Al-Hussain Ibn Ali. It is a small block of sand (clay) usually in a rectangular or circular shape and is used for prostration during prayers. This act has a great significance. For example, it teaches a Muslim humility and is also a sign of love for Imam Hussain (as). Imam Jaafer Al-Sadiq prayed on Imam Hussain's Turbah (sand from Karbala) and so did all of the other Imams.
