3_Correcting the Misconceived Representation among different schools of thought and nations regarding the uprising of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and the objectives and nature of his martyrdom.
4_ Embodying the Proof, as it concludes the legitimacy and eliminates doubt, weakness, and any ambiguity.
5_ Visualizing the Identity of Ashura with this shirt, which will exponentially enhance the power of conveying the oppression of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) to the world.
