Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and is considered a sacred month by Muslims. It is a period of mourning for Shia Muslims, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. Here are some of the top incidents associated with Muharram:

1. The Battle of Karbala (680 CE): The pivotal event that led to the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his companions.
2. The Siege of Karbala (680 CE): The siege of the city by Yazid's army, leading to the battle.
3. The Martyrdom of Imam Hussein (680 CE): The killing of Imam Hussein and his companions, including his family members and friends.
4. The Tragedy of the River Euphrates (680 CE): The denial of water to Imam Hussein and his companions, leading to severe thirst and hardship.
5. The Martyrdom of Ali Akbar (680 CE): The killing of Imam Hussein's son, Ali Akbar, who was only 18 years old.
