Description: Al Abbas ibn Ali, also known as Qamr Bani Hashim (The Moon of Bani Hashim), was the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and Um Al Banin. Abbas is highly revered in Islam for his loyalty to his brother Hussain (as), his respect for the Household of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), and his role in the Battle of Kerbala. He was tragically killed on the day of Ashura during this battle. Known in the Arab community for his courage, valour, strength, and ferocity as a warrior, Al-Abbas was described by Ibn Manzur in his Al-Ayn as the "lion that other lions feared". Sheikh Al Turaihi depicts him as an unshakable mountain, a testament to his status as a "unique horseman" and a "fearless hero."

"Peace be upon you, Oh Abbas ibn Ali, and may Allah's blessings be upon your holy soul. We pray to Allah to grant us the tawfeeq to visit your shrine in Kerbala."
