Shias in Iraq commemorate Ashura in the city of Karbala

Shia Muslims in Iraq marked Ashura by performing various rituals in the city of Karbala. Ashura is observed by both Sunni and Shia Muslims, but is seen as a day of mourning for Shias as they commemorate the death of Hussein, Prophet Muhammad's grandson, in the Battle of Karbala.

Clearly it is not a teaching from our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW. May Allah guide shias to the right path, aameen

Shia showing their sorrow and sadness for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain AS (the Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the son of Imam Ali AS) and his sacrifice. Why is Sunni so against that?

Do these people think this fancing and hitting yourself is a part of Islam like seriously.

[عنزيمطنوخ-ظط]

Did the Messenger command us to beat ourselves? Did the companions, Ali and Hussein command us to beat ourselves and curse the Prophet’s companions and the lineage of the Prophet’s wife, Aisha? How do we say that you are Muslims?

[Mis_Shayra]

Neither Shia nor Sunni

Alhamdulillah 💚
Only Muslim ❤

How can you all be so hateful? Everyone is saying that allah never said to do this in quran but when someone asks did allah say to follow unar, uthman and abu bakr you sunni 's say its because it would be harder to memorize the quran and read it because it would be long. And now you say we can't say the same about the self beatings? Its a way to show we are mourning the death of hussein (pbuh) and his followers, his children, his siblings, his wives, his half brothers. All of them were martyred for islam. 😢 And yet people don't understand why this is so sad. You people are getting very out of hand. I will not say that sunni is completely wrong except for the sahabas part. may allah guide you people and everyone else. The rest is for allah to decide

Astagfirullah this is not Islam, Shia is kufr

Everyone who see this. This is love for Imam Hussain the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad who was killed and beheaded by the oppressors who today have follwers masquerading as Muslims support the Prophet's enemies and the so called friends. Do not believe them. Shia is the real Islam who follow the teachings and guidance! LABAYEK YA HUSSAIN! 🏴
