Thousands people with colorful flags and forged war weapons gathers in the Hussani Dalan and start grief really of Ashura. In old Dhaka and Muhamedpur Ashura celebration is remarkable particularly for wide people's participation and emotional festivity. Old Dhaka becomes a new Dhaka in this day. The people particularly the young walk & matom, ( grief song ), drumming and hit the body as indemnity to loss of Muhammed (Sm) grand son in Karbala ( now Iraq). This mourning rally is known as Tazia. The women are generally observer but some join. In the rally the male mourners publicly beating their breasts with open palms, knives and or chains for showing the grief.

10th Muharram, the first month of the Hijri (Arabic) calendar is the anniversary of the death of Imam Husain, the Prophet's grandson, at Kabala. As like as other Muslim countries Bangladesh although observes this day with highest dignity, Ashura is the national holyday in Bangladesh.

  • The Day of Ashura (Arabic: عاشوراء‎ ʻĀshūrā’, Ashura, Ashoura, and other spellings; Turkish: Aşure Günü) is on the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar and marks the climax of the Remembrance of Muharram.

    It is commemorated by Shia Muslims as a day of mourning for the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Karbala on 10 Muharram in the year 61 AH (October 2, 680 CE).[1] According to Sunni Muslim tradition

  • @R0kmyS0X agreed, not hard to create, thus more plausibility that life originated via natural processes. very crude cells capable of evolution can form from very simple materials.

    Phospholipid, a very simple and naturally occurring compound (made of only hydrogen and carbon) forms vesicles, a crude cell wall capable of absorbing basic nutrients (more nucleic acids, and nutrients from absorbing other crude cells). This is probably why every living thing has nucleic acids for DNA.

  • @TheJacolyte I'll check it out, but the building blocks of life, isn't something hard to create, create life from these substances then u'll have me thinking. Just wanted to point that out.

  • @R0kmyS0X "why do u believe a single cell was created on its own,something trillions of times more complicated."

    Because there is experimental evidence suggesting it formed via natural processes. Look up the Miller-Urey experiment. These guys put in raw materials (water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen, very basic elements), simulated pre-life conditions on earth, and as a result they have created the building blocks of life. This supports all current understanding of the origins of life.

  • @TheJacolyte Again not trying to convert you, because atheists have their reasons as well, just trying to show you what religion really is. If you still disagree, then at least you disagree with more perspectives.

  • @TheJacolyte A watch would never be created on earth on its own, then why do u believe a single cell was created on its own,something trillions of times more complicated. That is the current theory of science. Science, for the record does not equal atheism, science exists in religion too.Religion isn't a bunch of supernatural beliefs as you say,it has its logic.Its beliefs are rational,people have not innovated alot of aspects of religion. Man is not foolish enough to put hardship unto himself.

  • @TheJacolyte It can't be taught in schools, as it would be discriminatory. But, there is proof, just look around, I would point them out, like science in the Quran, but im not trying to make you muslim. Just try too see God. Its irrational not to believe in God, as the chances of the world coming here by chance, without a designer is really small, although there is that chance. However, life with a designer is quite possible. You don't lose anything by believing, you lose alot not believing.

  • @R0kmyS0X Religion is without proof. If there was evidence it would be taught in public schools (in countries where the standards for evidence aren't a joke). The comment you have replied to I have posted two years ago. My previous comment strikes me as condescending, and I take it back. I don't mean to be rude.

    I do however continue to think that religion is a blight on humanity. There are good things about religion, but they are easily achieved without irrational beliefs in supernatural.

  • @TheJacolyte You will learn dude... keep thinking what you think, you will regret it believe me. You think religion is without proof, without its signs and based on faith. Oh may god guide you. Start doing you research, this world has more to it then it seems.

  • ashura CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? CELEBRATION. Thats a severe insult
