Imam Hasan, the elder brother, was poisoned by one of his concubines according to Prof. Hitti. The younger brother went to fight Yazid's army where thousands of Quran - e - Hafiz took up arms against him. Self flagellation, though an Assyrian rite to lament the inability to do anything in time, was adopted by the Shias to lament the martyrdom of Hussain. Ashoura/Ashura day was sacred to the Jews since long before the advent of Islam. On this day, exodus from Egypt happened. It is an Islamic belief that the world would cease to exist on a Tuesday of tenth of Muharram. So, be aware!

Yes, Muharram is nothing but a way of self-experiencing the sufferings of Prophet's grandsons at the hands of Shimar. Many of you have opined that it is not included in the Quran or Hadith. How could it go in any of those books, when Prophet was not alive at the time? So, it makes perfect sense that this ritual was not a part of the Koran.Although, it is an extreme self-mutilation, but it is a milder form of self-sacrifice in quest of heaven compared to suicide bombing. And, this ritual is a peanut compared to the bloodbath being caused by ISIS.Many people opined that ISIS people are mot Muslim because Koran does not permit such bloodbath. Others have shown many verses from Koran to support the argument that ISIS is exactly following the instructions of Koran. To counter the latter argument, many have opined that latter group is not using the right translation of Koran.I was slowly leaning towards the argument that ISIS is absolutely violating Koran with such horrendous violence. They must be following wrong translation of Koran. Now, after I found that self-proclaimed Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Bagdadi has earned a Ph.D. degree in Islamic Theology from the Cairo Al Azhar University, which is the authority on Islamic Theology in the world, and his mother tongue is pure Arabic, I am not so sure that ISIS are not following the right interpretation of Koran. Any thought on this predicament?Jiten Roy

Subject: [mukto-mona] RE: Annual Celebration of Mahrram (Ashoura) another Beauty of Islam for the world to see!
I think Sadam Hussain banned this ritual of self-flagellation and blood letting
Yeah, this mass madness and blood-curdling insane ritual has not been prescribed in the Quran.
I have not read any Sunni hadis permitting this insanity.
This ritual is done to commemorate the killing of Hazrat Husain (or may be Hasan--not sure) by Yazid. I think Hazrat Husain (or Hasan) was beheaded by the appointed executioner Shimar, who then displayed the severed head atop a pole. This was a beauty--the severed head of the prophet's grandson dangling on a pole! Muhammad must had turned around in his grave witnessing this wonderful display!
I am writing from memory. I have seen in Bangladesh many Shias still practice this barbarity though to a subdued manner.
Yeah, this is the beauty of Islam---blood, blood and more blood. Peace in Islam means blood, killing and death.
