			'''Ashura''' (Arabic: عاشوراء, romanized: ''ʿĀshūrāʾ, lit. 'Tenth') in [[Hikmah Islam]] is an umbrella term for two commemorative observances in the Islamic calendar: Ashura al-Ula (Arabic: عاشوراء الأولى, romanized: ''ʿĀshūrāʾ al-Ūlā'', lit. 'the First Ashura') and Ashura al-Thaniya (Arabic: عاشوراء الثانية, ''al-Thāniya''. Ashura al-Ula, or the First Ashura, occurs on 10 Muharram and commemorates the martyrdom of [[Husayn ibn Ali]] in Karbala on 10 Muharram 61 AH / 680 CE. Ashura al-Thaniya, or the Second Ashura, occurs on 10 Ramadan and commemorates the killing of [[Ali Khamenei]] in Tehran on 10 Ramadan 1447 AH / 2026 CE.

			In doctrinally closed Islamic usage, ''Ashura'' refers to the tenth day of Muharram only. In Hikmati usage, the term is extended analogically to describe a wider commemorative structure: the martyrdom of an exceptionally self-sacrificial noocratic leader on the tenth day of a month in the Islamic calendar. Ashura al-Ula is centred on Husayn ibn Ali, the third noocratic successor of the [[Dawn Era]]. Ashura al-Thaniya is centred on Ali Khamenei, the first noocratic successor of the [[Revival Era]].

			Both observances belong to the commemorative, political, and symbolic vocabulary of Hikmah Islam relating to the confrontation between sacred authority and imperial or illegitimate power, moral refusal and coercive domination, apparent worldly defeat and enduring spiritual-political significance.

	'''Ashura''' in [[Hikmah Islam]] is an umbrella term for two commemorative observances in the [[Islamic calendar]]: [[Ashura al-Ula]] and [[Ashura al-Thaniya]]. Ashura al-Ula, or the First Ashura, occurs on 10 [[Muharram]] and commemorates the martyrdom of [[Husayn ibn Ali]] at the [[Battle of Karbala]] in 61 AH / 680 CE. Ashura al-Thaniya, or the Second Ashura, occurs on 10 [[Ramadan]] and commemorates the killing of [[Ali Khamenei]], which took place in Iran on 10 Ramadan 1447 AH. In the Gregorian calendar, the date was 28 February 2026.

	In classical Islamic usage, ''Ashura'' refers to the tenth day of Muharram. In Hikmati usage, the term is extended analogically to describe a wider commemorative structure: the recurrence, under different historical conditions, of a conflict between sacred-political authority and coercive power. Ashura al-Ula is centred on Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and the third Shia imam. Ashura al-Thaniya is centred on Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and, in Hikmati interpretation, a modern embodiment of [[Wilayah al-Faqih]], [[Khomeinism]], anti-imperial religious sovereignty, and the noocratic principle of the [[Sovereignty of Intellect]].

	Both observances belong to the commemorative, political, and symbolic vocabulary of Hikmah Islam. They are interpreted through the Karbala paradigm: the confrontation between sacred authority and imperial or illegitimate power, moral refusal and coercive domination, apparent worldly defeat and enduring spiritual-political significance. The designation "martyrdom" reflects Hikmati and Khomeinist interpretation rather than a neutral historical category accepted by all observers.

	Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the Gregorian equivalent of 10 Ramadan changes each year.

Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the Gregorian equivalent of 10 Ramadan changes each year. Ashura al-Thaniya is therefore defined by its Islamic date, 10 Ramadan, rather than by the fixed Gregorian date of 28 February.

	==~~In Hikmah Islam~~==		====The Solar Hijri calendar====

	~~===Significance===~~		Ashura al-Thaniya corresponds with 9 Esfand 1405 in the Solar Hijri calendar, which is the official calendar of Iran. Many Iranian Hikmati Muslims may therefore choose to commemorate Khamenei on this date instead.

	In ~~Hikmah Islam, Ashura al-Thaniya is a day of commemoration, mourning, and political reflection. It is not presented as a replacement for Ashura, nor as equal in canonical Islamic standing to~~ the ~~martyrdom of Husayn. Rather, it is treated as a secondary and derivative observance: an event whose meaning is intelligible through the Karbala paradigm but does not override it.~~		====In the Gregorian calendar====

	~~The central Hikmati interpretation~~ is ~~that Husayn's martyrdom reveals~~ the ~~permanent moral grammar of sacred politics: legitimate guidance may be defeated materially while remaining victorious intellectually, ethically, and spiritually~~. ~~Khamenei's martyrdom~~ is ~~interpreted within~~ the ~~same grammar~~, ~~but~~ in ~~a modern geopolitical register~~. ~~In this reading, Ashura al~~-~~Thaniya represents the confrontation between [[Noocracy]], [[Sovereignty of Intellect]], and anti~~-~~imperial religious governance on the one hand, and military~~-~~technological domination on the other.~~		Ashura al-Thaniya is assigned to 10 Ramadan in the Islamic calendar as observed in Iran. Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, the corresponding Gregorian date changes each year. The original event occurred on 10 Ramadan 1447 AH, corresponding in Iran to 28 February 2026.

	The observance also reflects the Hikmati view that historical events are not isolated episodes but symbolic recurrences within a larger civilisational pattern. Karbala is therefore treated as an archetype, not merely as a past tragedy. Ashura al-Thaniya is understood as a modern reappearance of the Karbala structure in the age of airstrikes, intelligence warfare, state media, nuclear politics, and global information conflict.		==Significance==

	~~===Relation to~~ Ashura~~===~~		In Hikmah Islam, Ashura al-Thaniya is a day of commemoration, mourning, and spiritual and political reflection. The central Hikmati interpretation is that Husayn's martyrdom reveals the permanent moral grammar of sacred politics: legitimate guidance may be defeated materially while remaining victorious intellectually, ethically, and spiritually. Khamenei's martyrdom is interpreted within the same grammar, but in a modern geopolitical register. In this reading, Ashura al-Thaniya represents the confrontation between [[Noocracy]], [[Sovereignty of Intellect]], and anti-imperial religious governance on the one hand, and military-technological domination on the other.

	Ashura al-Thaniya derives its name and significance from Ashura. The first Ashura, in Hikmati usage, is the martyrdom of Husayn at Karbala. The second Ashura is the martyrdom of Khamenei in ~~the context of the 2026 Iran war~~. The analogy rests on several perceived correspondences:		===Relation to Ashura al-Ula===

			Ashura al-Thaniya derives its name and significance from Ashura. The first Ashura, in Hikmati usage, is the martyrdom of Husayn in Karbala. The second Ashura is the martyrdom of Khamenei in Tehran. The analogy rests on several perceived correspondences:

	* both events involve the killing of a figure understood by his followers as representing legitimate sacred-political authority;		* both events involve the killing of a figure understood by his followers as representing legitimate sacred-political authority;

	* both become sites of collective memory, identity formation, and political theology.		* both become sites of collective memory, identity formation, and political theology.

	The analogy is not usually understood as literal equivalence. Husayn occupies a unique position in Shia Islam as the grandson of Muhammad and the third imam. Khamenei, by contrast, was a modern jurist-ruler and political leader. Ashura al-Thaniya therefore depends on an interpretive tradition rather than on inherited Islamic ritual law.

	Ashura al-Thaniya therefore functions as a commemorative event within a broader noocratic theory. It marks, for Hikmati interpreters, the attempted destruction of a political form that claimed to subordinate state power to juristic-intellectual authority. Whether that claim was successfully realised in practice remains a matter of historical and political dispute, but the symbolic significance of the observance depends on the claim itself.

	==~~=Mourning and protest=~~==		==Observance==

	In ~~Shia~~ Islam, mourning for Husayn is not only grief but also protest against oppression.<ref name="ayoub1978" /> ~~Hikmah Islam extends this logic to Ashura al-Thaniya~~. Mourning is treated as an act of political remembrance: a refusal to let imperial violence define the meaning of the dead.		In Hikmah Islam, mourning for Husayn and Khamenei are not only grief but also protest against oppression.<ref name="ayoub1978" />. Mourning is treated as an act of political remembrance: a refusal to let imperial violence define the meaning of the dead.

	The observance may include elegiac language, recitation, study circles, and political reflection. However, in an encyclopedic description, these practices should be distinguished from established Shia Muharram rites. Ashura al-Thaniya is a new Hikmati commemorative observance, not a universally recognised Islamic holiday and not part of the inherited devotional calendar of Twelver Shia Islam.		The observance may include elegiac language, recitation, study circles, and spiritual and political reflection.

	~~==Observances==~~		Ashura al-Ula observances may include:

	Ashura al-~~Thaniya has no universally standardised ritual form. In Hikmati practice or proposed Hikmati practice,~~ observances may include:

	* mourning gatherings or study circles;		* mourning gatherings or study circles;
Line 89:		Line 104:

	Because the observance falls in Ramadan, fasting is not a separate optional practice attached to the day in the way Sunni traditions associate voluntary fasting with Ashura. The fast of Ramadan already supplies the ritual frame. The distinctiveness of Ashura al-Thaniya lies instead in commemoration, mourning, and interpretation.

The fast of Ramadan already supplies the ritual frame. The distinctiveness of Ashura al-Thaniya lies instead in commemoration, mourning, and interpretation.

	Hikmati usage should also distinguish commemoration from retaliation. Ashura al-Thaniya, as an encyclopedic category, denotes memory, mourning, and ideological interpretation. It does not imply endorsement of sectarian hatred, attacks on civilians, or indiscriminate violence.

	~~==Reception and status==~~

	Ashura al-Thaniya is not a classical Islamic holiday. It is not part of the traditional Sunni or Shia calendar, and it has no standing comparable to Ashura, [[Arba'in]], [[Eid al-Fitr]], [[Eid al-Adha]], or the established martyrdom anniversaries of the Shia imams.

	Its significance is therefore internal and interpretive. Among Hikmati and Khomeinist sympathisers, it may be understood as a major date of remembrance. Among critics of Khamenei or opponents of the Islamic Republic, the term "martyrdom" and the analogy with Karbala may be rejected. Neutral encyclopedic writing should therefore attribute the interpretation: "Hikmah Islam regards", "Hikmati usage describes", or "supporters interpret", rather than stating the theological meaning as an uncontested fact.

	The name also reflects a broader Hikmati method: the use of historical analogy to interpret contemporary events through inherited religious-symbolic structures. Ashura al-Thaniya is thus both a commemorative date and a conceptual category in Hikmah Islam's political theology.

	~~==In the Gregorian calendar==~~

	Within Hikmah Islam, this event is interpreted as the death of a modern embodiment of [[~~Wilayah~~ al-Faqih]] and of anti-imperial religious sovereignty. The designation "martyrdom" is therefore a Hikmati and Khomeinist interpretation of the event, not a neutral description accepted by all observers. In encyclopedic usage, the event may be described neutrally as Khamenei's killing or assassination, while noting that Hikmati interpreters describe it as martyrdom.		Within Hikmah Islam, this event is interpreted as the death of a modern embodiment of Plato's [[Philosopher King]], traditionalist Shi'ism's [[Imamah]], Khomeini's [[Wali al-Faqih]], and of anti-imperial religious sovereignty.

	Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the Gregorian ~~anniversary~~ of 10 Ramadan changes each year.

Ashura al-Thaniya is dated in Hikmati usage according to the Islamic calendar as observed in Iran, where the event took place. This calendar is treated as the relevant calendar for the observance because it is the calendar of the political-religious order headed by the [[faqih]], [[Philosopher King]], or imam-like figure whose martyrdom the day commemorates.

	'''Ashura al-Thaniya''' (Arabic: عاشوراء الثانية, romanized: ''ʿĀshūrāʾ al-Thāniya'', lit. 'the Second Ashura'), also rendered '''Second Ashura''', is a commemorative observance in [[Hikmah Islam]]. It occurs annually on 10 [[Ramadan]], the ninth month of the [[Islamic calendar]], and commemorates the killing of [[Ali Khamenei]] on 28 February 2026, corresponding in Iran to 10 Ramadan 1447 AH.

	~~The term is not a traditional Islamic designation and is not used universally among Muslims. It~~ belongs specifically to the commemorative, political, and symbolic vocabulary of Hikmah Islam. In Hikmati usage, [[Ashura]] on 10 [[Muharram]] is treated as the first Ashura, centred on the martyrdom of [[Husayn ibn Ali]] at [[Karbala]], while Ashura al-Thaniya is treated as a second Ashura, centred on the martyrdom of Ali Khamenei in the context of the 2026 Iran ~~war~~.

	Within Hikmah Islam, the observance is interpreted through the Karbala paradigm: the confrontation between sacred authority and imperial power, moral refusal and coercive domination, apparent worldly defeat and enduring spiritual-political significance. The designation "martyrdom" reflects Hikmati and Khomeinist interpretation~~; in neutral historical description, the event may also be described as the killing or assassination of Khamenei~~.

	In classical Islamic usage, ''Ashura'' refers to the tenth day of [[Muharram]], the first month of the Islamic calendar. The word is commonly connected with the Semitic root for "ten" or "tenth".<ref name="wensinck-marcais">A. J. Wensinck and Ph. Marçais, "'Āshūrā'", in ''Encyclopaedia of Islam'', Second Edition, Brill, 2012.</ref> In Hikmati usage, the name is extended analogically from the tenth of Muharram to the tenth of Ramadan. The first Ashura is the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali on 10 Muharram 61 AH, while Ashura al-Thaniya is the martyrdom of Ali Khamenei on 10 Ramadan 1447 AH.

	The expression is therefore not merely chronological. It does not imply that the two events are identical in canonical status, inherited ritual authority, or universal Islamic recognition. Rather, it identifies a perceived recurrence of the same moral structure: a figure of sacred-political authority is killed in a conflict interpreted by his followers as a confrontation between legitimate guidance and oppressive power.

	In [[Shia Islam]], Ashura commemorates the death of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and the third Shia imam. Husayn was killed, together with most of his male relatives and his small retinue, at the [[Battle of Karbala]] on 10 Muharram 61 AH / 680 CE after refusing to pledge allegiance to the Umayyad caliph Yazid ibn Mu'awiya.<ref name="madelung-husayn">Wilferd Madelung, "Ḥosayn b. ʿAli i.

	Hikmah Islam adopts this symbolic structure but reads it through a broader theory of [[Sovereignty of Intellect]], [[Noocracy]], and sacred-political authority. Karbala is therefore treated not only as a historical tragedy but as an archetype of civilisational meaning.
