Muharram

Muharram in India.

Muharram (Arabic: محرم) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year in which fighting is prohibited. Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, Muharram moves from year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar. Muharram is so called because it is unlawful to fight during this month; the word is derived from the word haram, meaning "forbidden". The shias start the mourning from the 1st night of Muharram which continues for 2 months and 8 days. However the first days are the most important since these were the days where Imam Hussain and his family/followers were put through to atrocities by Yazeed. Imam Hussain and his group of 72 people consisting of women, children and aged.Many of the male and female participants congregate together in public for ceremonial chest beating (matam) as a display of their devotion to Imam Husayn and in remembrance of his suffering. In some Shi'a societies, such as those in Bahrain, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iraq, some male participants incorporate knives or razors swung upon chains into their matam.The people of jahiliyyah used to mourn through loud lamentations, by tearing their clothes and by beating their cheeks and chests.

The most fantastic goose-bumpy (with all due respects, as the music and rhythm are so earthy) rhythmic chanting, accompanying self-flagellation on Muharram in Old Delhi, India.

Idiots! If you really want to spill your blood then go and help the people of Palestine. Spill your blood there.

@farida250 Salam sister! I feel so sorry for them for thinking Allah (swt) will grant them paradise for this! If you think this wasn't bad, they actually depict Ali (RA) through paintings even though it clearly states that it is SHIRK and HARAAM to have pictures of holy figures!
