Thank goodness

[MrChoongman]

wow why are some of us humans so gulible! these people needs to open their eyes and ears and try to find out about the truth behind things such as ashura & hossein & hassan & etc. hossein's only ambition was 2 over dethrone yazeed and become the king of arabs himself, it had nothing to do with islam, the good of mankind, allah, he was doing that for himslef. for god's sake please stop believing the stories that mullahs tell you.

[theecholondon]

@MrChoongman what book is your opinion based on? or are you a non moslem and you want to disrepect our important personalities?

if you are a non moslem then you have no right to speak like this if you are a moslem show us where you know Hussain ibn Ali wanted to be king of arabs?

[MrChoongman]

@theecholondon Yes I am a Muslim and even if I wasn't you should be able to take on my criticism and not get upset. I used to take part in Ashura and believe everything I was told in those ceremonies until I started hearing things that just didnt make sense which forced me to do my own research, I came to the conclusion that to be a good Muslim you only need to believe in Allah and follow his rules and all the other things surrounding today's Islam is made up by people after their own interest.

[theecholondon]

@MrChoongman 1. is your criticism of my film? 2. is your critcism of Shia islam? 3. is your criticism of Prophet Mohammaed (P) and his family?

One minute you say Imam Hussain was power hungary, one minute you say all this stuff is made up by people? which is it? if its made up then where did all the evidence come from and who is that that is burried in Karbala? and if it wasnt made up and Imam Hussain wanted to become King of Arabs how do you know? where you there? if you werent..

[theecholondon]

@theecholondon ... if you werent there, then where did you read it? please prove to me our opinion other wise, keep it to your self. if you have no proof, because then it becomes an insult and not a criticism!

[MrChoongman]

@theecholondon and I just hate the fact that our religion has become a tool to manipulate our brothers and sisters. And also I am a critique of other religions too because in today's society people in power use religions to turn us against one another, it's important to stand up against them and not fall for their tricks. No matter if you believe in Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc we were created by the same god and he loves all of us the same and does not prefer one religion to the other.

[MrChoongman]

@theecholondon 1. Do I own a time machine and can I take you along with me to 1400 yrs ago to see the truth? No. 2. Have I read books and an spoken to wise people regards the claims made by Mullahs? yes many books and spoken to quite afew people about this. I meant the stuff told to us by these many Mullahs about Hussain etc is fabricated such as the glorification. I can understand why you might get upset as I was in your position one day but please understand that I believe in the same God....

[theecholondon]

@MrChoongman I am not upset. you cant upset me. but if you are sincere please share the names of these books and scholars you have spoken too, as maybe you can save us from being missguided. again if you reply to me with out any names of books and scholars i will take it that you are a wahhabi or non moslem. regards!

[MrChoongman]

@theecholondon well my brother let Allah be the judge of that, and I will try and find the books for you, it was five yrs ago when I read them and found the truth. Other than that the proof is in Quran itself all you have to do is read it with an open mind and then use your understanding to see if the stories about Ashura go together with what you are told in Quran. Peace be upon you :)

[altigerrrr]

@MrChoongman Maybe you should read the will of Hossein ibn Ali and his reasons about rising up against Yazid then maybe you will realise whether he rose for himself or for the good of mankind especially given the nature of Yazeed and his associates.

[supersgms]

@MrChoongman

Loser, stop commenting!

When u don't know what this is all about, then u shouldn't bother to watch this BEAUTIFUL video. I PITY U!!!

Hope u get well soon.

[MrChoongman]

@supersgms Well I'm afraid you're wrong about me not knowing about Moharam as I too am a muslim who used to take part in Ashura. I'd like to ask why is it that you call me a loser? would Muhammad or Hussain call me a loser for expressing my mind? I was fortunate enough to learn the importance of being open minded thus I am much more moderate now and I can respect other people's opinions even if they are against my beliefs hopefully you too will learn about that one day.

[MrChoongman]

@supersgms One more thing, this video may be beautiful to you but the truth is anything but that, the terrible things people have to go through in countries like Afganistan and Iran etc is ugly. Beliefs like this allows extremist goverments and groups take advantage of good people and that's why I'm against this.

[supersgms]

@MrChoongman

Look that's a fact, whenever people do something good, suddenly everybody will be against u. Brother let them take advantage, at one point of time they will realize what they do.Just because they take advantage of this, it doesn't mean that we will stop mourning our beloved Imam Hussain (as). We are really not scared.

[MsJdlive]

mA a great video..and thanks for uploading it here..im from pakistan, karachi..for the people who are saying that doing maatam is wrong and we should not do any type of it at all...and follow quran and Allah, muharram is a islamic month aswell why do you not take part in it ? you celebrate ramadan eid haj and all the rest why not muharram ? and Allah said that Hussain is from me and i am from Hussain..

[talibraza]

Are we really the Shias Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and his Ahlul Bait (A.S) wanted us to be? JUST IMAGINE ....

[talibraza]

offended, where our Aalims, zakirs (preachers, scholars and lecturers) do not curse other companions of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in public? Did it ever occur to you that neither Prophet Muhammad nor did Ahlul Bait openly cursed any of the companions of the Holy Prophet, regardless of their acts and deeds. Could you seriously imagine Mola Hussain (A.S) appreciating our Azadari (Mourning) while we hurt our fellow Muslims brothers' feelings?

[AwesomeStorm63]

@talibraza This is OUR mourning ritual. Why shoul dwe appease people that don't like what we do, on the basis that THEY have been brought up to hate that which they don't understand? How will you face H. Fatemah (SA) on the Day of Judgement when She asks you about mourning over Her beloved Son (AS)...?? Why do you have a problem with Maatam, which is the Sunnah of ALL the Prophets?? If Wahabis and non-Muslims don't understand what we do then we make them understand, we don't just stop doing it!

[talibraza]

An influential video mashallah but have we ever thought about commemorating Ashura the same way in Pakistani and India? Can’t we just have the same calm protest in the Sub Continent? Why do we get out of control unless we are on a leash? Can’t we just have a peaceful Ashura where we would not occupy all roads and streets, where you do not shut down the city and let the other Muslim brother live their normal life, where you do not play majalis, lytmia or nohas so loud that others might get

[Tabi3atu0Ahlulbayt]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful video...Thank you!

*Every day is Ashura, Every land is Karbala*

[herocortez]

@Tabi3atu0Ahlulbayt Kkkkk.....NOT every land is karbala becausee guess what?? the people in karbala killed imam hussein...so why would every land be karbala? False .

[Tabi3atu0Ahlulbayt]

@herocortez Can we not be small minded here and look at the meaning of the saying. What you have just said is irrelevant to the quote. The quote refers to the fact that Karbala is where the battle for the 'truth and justice' by Imam Hussein (A.S) took place and thus one who cherishes the truth and justice must fight that battle everyday in his/her life. In other words one must always remember the sacrifice of our Imam and fight against ignorance in society.

What you wrote is irrelevant to that

[theecholondon]

@Tabi3atu0Ahlulbayt Thank you, Please share this video on your twitter and facebook account, shokran may allah bless u.

[msafiri123]

Lease these salafis and wahabis alone - they have the oil, but are the real jaahils. They do not know the true meaning of Islam. Its means unity, love, peace, obeying all that Allah has ordained. To lead a good life and to believe in justice. Yes, justicve. And that means the freedom for people to practice their own religiion without fear or favour. Without being killed for it.

Imam Husein rose against this injustice and saved Islam from the cluthces of Bani Ummaya.

Thank you Imam Husein.

[12imams]

as forANNNYYY one who doubts about crying for the ones beloved to the Prophet PBUHF... read this suni SAHIH hadith..!!

[12imams]

@12imams

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 390:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

We went with Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif's house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths, and the eyes of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears.

[12imams]

'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf said, "O Allah's Apostle, even you are weeping!" He said, "O Ibn 'Auf, this is mercy." Then he wept more and said, "The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation."

[12imams]

@12imams

and even though this is a silly hadith: have a read:

BKHARI 2, Book 23, Number 426: Narrated Anas:

We were in the funeral procession of the daughter of Allah's Apostle and Allah's Apostle was sitting near the grave and I saw his eyes full of tears. He said, "Is there anyone amongst you who did not have sexual relations with his wife last night?" Abu Talha replied in the affirmative. And so Allah's Apostle told him to get down in her grave and he got down in her grave and buried her

[anonymous181293]

salam, mashallah this is an AMAZING video! great work brother jazakallah khair, may Allah swt reward you for you efforts, its seriously awesome!!!

[arabkid007]

Sure, you in a grievious moment could "lose control" and might hit your head or face (not hard to enough to bleed or cause bruises). Fine that is understandable. but its not like you preplan to do so every single year and turn it into a religious event. Its not like this is something that you want to do.

[theecholondon]

@arabkid007 why are you arguing with us arab!??? what do you want ??? you want us to all be salafist.. wear short trousers, and distroy every thing that remind mankind of Prophet Mohammad (a). what do you want??? if you dont like this go and dont watch it or do it. your arguments are a waste of youtube space and our reading time .

[arabkid007]

@theecholondon Bro you are a jahil. Yes i am an arab , and there is no difference between an arab and a persian only by good deeds and righetous actions. Coming to you point on why i care; i care because you are making bidah and ruining the face of islam. You processions remind me very much of skih and hindu rituals and that is very sad. I dont want u to be salafist i want you to be a muslim. Follow the quran and sunnah no affilation with anything else.Wear short trousers? stupid

[Piper5468]

@arabkid007 We never forget the tragedy of Imam Hussein (a.s.). We cry every time we remember. And we hit ourselves in grief. That's our business, what is it to you? If you don't like it don't do it; don't judge us in the way we express our grief and stop trolling plz. Thanks.

[MOSTIprince94]

@arabkid007 the ceremony of Ashura is there for remembrance. Do you not see after 1300 years people still remember this great character and give a whole month towards him? Religious and non religious people gather at the ceremonies to show respect. If it weren't for shi'a and these practices the sacrifice of Imam Hussain would have been neglected and forgotten by everyone in the world. The fact that millions of people dedicate their time towards Asura and Imam Al Hussain is something special.

[arabkid007]

Why is it that you have an annual and pre-determined plan of hitting yourself in mourning for the death of Hussain is anything comparable to any of the narrations above where people hit themselves due to the harsh circumstances that they were in.

[MrMarafi]

mashallah! I wish i was there! sadly had work!

[iraqiashia4life]

Labayk Ya Hussain!!!!!

[badboy4rlife]

quite nice bro , but it should not be just London .... inshallah after my exam ...(will get ova afta 19 days ) u gave me a work to do .... i will put azadars of all around the world in my vid 9infact some small clips like urs frm youtube )n lectures in urdu arabic and english inshallah ....!

[badboy4rlife]

MATAM -> it comes frm hazrat ayesha, look in ur sunni books dint she do matam ....

[arabkid007]

brothers may i ask why are you guys marching and htting your chest? Did imam Hussein do this ? Where in the quran or sunnah does it say to hit you chests with metal or with your hand. Where does it say walk over the fire. You people are doing bidah , we muslims sunni love ahlulbayt v much also. If you look at the hindu and sikh religions you will come to see that there religions involves walking over fire and hitting themselves. You are following people who make bidah and insult sahaba. Shameful

[theecholondon]

@arabkid007 there is enough videos on youtube to explain all the stuff you raised, go and watch those videos then come and talk about it. thanks.

[abedararea2]

@arabkid007 In

This has also been reported in Sahih Bukhari, Book 23 Volume 2, Book 23, Number 423, Book of Funerals.

We read in the Sunni work Maqamath ai Hareery,

"He beat his cheeks and tore his collar"

The slapping of Prophet Ibraheem (as)'s wife Sara is proven from the Qur'an. The Qur'an tells us to adhere to the ways of the people of Ibraheem (as), so if the Shi'a beat themselves whilst mourning for Imam Husayn (as) such acts are lawful.

[abedararea2]

Salam, Surah adh-Dhaariyaat we read that Sara (as) struck her face when she was told that she would conceive a baby.

"Then came forward his wife in grief, she smote her face and said (what! I) An old barren woman?"

Quran 51:29

"Faskath" does not just mean rub or touch, it means slap and this is evidenced from Saheeh Muslim Book 030, Number 5851

[theecholondon]

How can 5 people like this? what did u hate about the video.. the words, the fact that this happened what?

[12imams]

@arabkid007 seriously, having the same argument as u, i would ask u , where in the Koran does it say to take council to elect abu bakr as khalif, then the khalif puts in another khalif, and then the 3rd khalif makes an "elected" council.. 3 different ways to elect khalif.. none in the koran! as for yoru comments that you love ahlul bayt...? i put to you this.. if you loved them, more than YOUR own parents, then you would cry for them each year as u would if ur parents passed away

[12imams]

@12imams as for your bid3a..? dont overuse that word, let god judge, unless you seem to think that Allah SWT ISNT "malik youwm aldiin"..? and on the issue of bid3aa.. i remember that umar was asked to get ink and paper to write a message when the prophet PBUHF was dying, he replied "the book of Allah is sufficient for us"... true..? (answer that, ill explain when you reply)

[SKA7531]

@arabkid007

Beating our chest is one of the ways that we can show our loyalty and sympathy towarsd Imam Hussain (AS) and ahlull-bayt (AS) and I just cannot understand how did you expect Imam Hussain (AS) to do matam for himself !!! According to all grand maraje all forms of azadari including tatbir ( Blood Letting) are permissible and they all recommend and encourage us to do so.

[SKA7531]

@arabkid007

If you do some research you will find out these are not bidah. Bidah is what you sunni people do while you are praying (closing your hands, the way that you do wudhoo !!!) and this is only one example to mention.

I was also wondering how can you say that Sunni people like Ahlul-bayt (AS) while you are all following people that they martyred prophet's Ahlul-Bayt (AS). At least make it clear to yourself who you are following.
