farrah, the love of our Prophet and particularly the family of the Prophet (saww) is a demand of Allah (swt) (Quran, Sura Shura, verse 23 and many Shia-Sunni Hadiths are available on this topic). When making the decision, please keep in mind the atrocities that took place in the month of Moharram to the family of our Prophet, and specially to Imam Hussain (as).
Is the month of Moharram to blame for those atrocities?
The idea of such anniversaries is that we remind ourselves of what happened and learn from our mistakes.
