A community tribute
Shere AliLove without words.
A quiet reflection on loyalty, companionship and care for Allah’s creation.
Some lives touch us through their words. Others remind us of love simply through their presence.
Shere Ali’s place in the hearts of those who care for him speaks of companionship: a familiar presence, a bond of trust, and affection that needs no words. These photographs show him among the community, bringing generations together in a moment of remembrance.
In the remembrance of Karbala, Zuljanah—the horse associated with Imam Hussain (AS)—is remembered for devotion and loyalty. Shere Ali’s ceremonial presence invites reflection on that bond. Caring for him today gives those feelings a practical expression through patience, gentleness and responsibility.
“Every single breath you take necessitates an essential thanks from you, or rather a thousand thanks or more.”
— Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq (AS), Mizan al-Hikmah, Thanksgiving; citing Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 71, p. 52, no. 77.
His place here is a heartfelt tribute to that bond. The reflection invites us to pause, to feel gratitude, and to let affection become care.

Shere Ali’s ceremonial presence helps our community pause with that remembrance, bringing young and old together in affection and reflection.
Ghazi Abbas (AS) · Devotion expressed through service
Ghazi Abbas (AS) is remembered for steadfast loyalty to Imam Hussain (AS), and for his efforts to bring water to the thirsty children of Karbala. His example invites us to recognise another’s need and respond with courage, tenderness and responsibility.
These reflections guide the spirit of our care today. For Shere Ali, remembrance becomes practical kindness: gentle handling, dependable upkeep and attention to his wellbeing throughout the year.
Affection becomes responsibility
Caring for our beloved Shere Ali
The love we share for Shere Ali continues beyond a day of remembrance. His comfort and wellbeing call for patient daily care, dependable upkeep and thoughtful planning throughout the year.
Professional care
Veterinary support, regular hoof care from a registered farrier, and a health plan agreed with his vet. Keeping care records helps those responsible work together.
Safe journeys & gatherings
Experienced handlers, suitable transport and his passport accompanying him. Community appearances need calm arrival arrangements, comfortable ceremonial dress, space, water, rest and a plan to withdraw if he becomes distressed.
Year-round upkeep
Stable or livery arrangements, feed, bedding, professional care and transport all need time, coordination and resources. Reliable practical help matters as much as the visible moments of celebration.
