Abstract EN

The present paper is devoted to a study of the “ÍusaynÐ Sermon” (al-khuÔba al-Îusayniyya) in Twelver ShÐÝism.

This is a sermon which at least in part is devoted to the events surrounding the tragic and violent death of Al-Íusayn b.

ÝAlÐ.

We shall discuss the stages of the sermon’s development, its structure, the topics encompassed in it, the times and places in which it is held (for, unlike other sermons, these are not fixed), and who the preachers and audiences of the sermon are.

The importance of the sermon in the lives of present-day ShÐÝites is described, in particular its political significance.

We then discuss the identity of the people and groups who undertake to organize such sermons wherever ShÐÝites are to be found.

The article ends with a description of the preachers of these sermons, their titles and the skills they are required to possess.
