Photos: Muslims worldwide mark Ashura
Ashura is marked on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, by all Muslims
Tens of thousands of Muslims across the globe on Tuesday observed Ashura, an annual commemoration mourning the seventh-century death of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Imam Hussein.
Ashura is marked on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, by all Muslims.
It is a particularly important period of mourning for Shia Muslims, as it marks the anniversary of the seventh-century Battle of Karbala in present-day Iraq, when Hussein was killed.
To mourn his death in the year 680, Shia worshippers, wearing black, cry and beat their chests in unison. Some also flagellate themselves with swords and knife-edged chains.
More than 1,340 years after Hussein’s death, Baghdad, Tehran and other major cities were adorned on Tuesday with symbols of Shia piety and repentance: red flags for Hussein’s blood, symbolic black funeral tents and black dress for mourning, and processions of men and boys expressing fervour in the ritual of chest beating and self-flagellation with chains.
The death of Hussein is considered by the Shia community as a symbol of humanity’s struggle against injustice, tyranny and oppression.

Thank you Al Jazeera for info like this. As an Anglo-Catholic, and an Interspiritual, I am awed at the celebrations, symbols, rituals and commemorations of our traditions especially that of Islam. Blessings of peace to all🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I mean this is pretty out there for Islam and is not permitted. Only certain sects which some would call un-Islamic do this. So don’t think this is some core tradition for Islam. Especially once you find out how flawed and violent this tradition normally gets you’ll understand why it’s haram.
@weenameily8097 this is not Islam though. May Allah grant us guidance.
Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen: One of the sons of Um ‘Atiyya died, and when it was the third day she asked for a yellow perfume and put it over her body, and said, “We were forbidden to mourn for more than three days except for our husbands.” – Sahih al-Bukhari 1279
This is haram.
Why
Because Allah and his Messenger prohibited us from mourning the martyrdom @@ruaizkhan5179
@@ruaizkhan5179 this is because Allah and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam never ordered us to do this act infact he forbade to harm yourselves. Listen, Hussain r.a was a great companion of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam but that doesn’t mean you do acts of innovation in the deen. It is prohibited.
@@wajedatabassum4430that’s not innovation!
That’s only the mourning for grandchild of the prophet !
Because of remembering to fight with cruel acts and brutal behavior in every time!
Hossein is a model for stand up against cruel people although with his blood and blood of his family!
Because of your mindset Palestine is so alone today despite of so many Moslems worldwide!
Buchari is haram
😢😢😢
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. ””””””””””””””””””””” ””””””””””””””””””””””””’ ””””””””””””””””””””””””’ ””””””’ My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/–~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~~♡♡♡;~،~~.،;&;&&;;&🕋☪️☪️ ~:~¡~¡~¡،،~;:I.i.i.i..i.ii!}𝖊≋𝖊𝖊~≋𝖊. i.I.|-◖’˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˹˛˹˛˹`˛`.;!.|i,]……..
🇵🇸❤️LOVE TO PALESTINE 🇵🇸💯♥️♥️
I commend their solidarity with Palestine. I truly do.
But may Allah give them guidance to the straight path and avoid these innovations. Unfounded. Never practiced by the Prophet upon whom be peace.
I pray one day you find the duas and Hadith of the 12 Shia imams ameen and see the tawheed and the true oneness of Allah
Your religion is so strict and oppressive
@@zackhruskaElaborate???
@@zackhruska – How is Islam oppressive?
May the creator hear the worlds prayers.

Innovation is forbidden in Islam
Then you shouldn’t be here typing and posting in YouTube the innovation hub
@@Abanya-ib4ihwhat the person meant is bidah not tech innovations
@@Abanya-ib4ihHow is that contradicting the Qur’an, can speaking English be an innovation?
@@TPOL123ISBACKAGAIN Yes
That’s why Qur’an remains original – untranslated. You rely on the translated versions at your own peril
@@Abanya-ib4ih So? Not all the the prophets of Islam are Arab, neither all Sahabas of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May the lord Jesus Christ bless u all! 🙏
Shias have beautiful rituals. God bless them for their devotion and love to Husseyn, the Prophet’s grandson. Kind hearted people.

Jesus is on the Throne…He is the Great I Am no man can be above the Creator of the universe….
You’re confusing Jesus with The One who sent him.
💪💪💪🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🔥🔥🔥 bravo Israel
May Allah guide them to Islam
Jesus my protector sits on the throne in the heavens, glory to Jesus the Alpha the omega the first and the last the beginning and the end. Heaven and earth will pass but his words never will 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
You love those who plotted to kill your “lord and savior”, but hate those who honor Jesus as a great prophet.
Despite restrictions we will stand for Palestine no matter what.. long live Palestine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
