Imagine the day when this people will found the rituals were of no uses and this actually caused them to come under Allah's wrath

Is this the sunnah of our prophet saws??
Is this according to the teachings of islam ??

[alanbrados]

This is shia tradition! Has nothing to do with Islam! Islam does not practice such behavior. This was established after our prophet Mohammed SAW!

Istighfar and lets read Quran for more

[chanceusealeena]

This is not islam, its just shia practice that is outside of Islam

The creator of the universe is universal.
No religion is universal.
The creator of the universe is not religious.

Religion is Division, the Creator is ONE.

As a shiia in 20 secs I found 3 mistakes in this report.

[raniraj]

Earlier there was no shia, a yahudi faked as muslim wanted to break our brotherhood. He spreaded that HazAli was supposed to b nabi n 1st khalifa.Whereas Haz Ali loved all the earlier khalifa n named his sons by their names...umar, usman n Abubakr.We should stop the difference n become one. Together we become stronger.

Tatbir and slapping faces are not obligatory among Shiites, but they are not forbidden Tabbir and slapping faces are not obligatory among Shiites, but they are not forbidden, It is a desirable.

Weeping for the sufferings that Sayyidina Imam Husain, his family and disciples went through at the hands of the tyrant Yazid and his army(May Allah curse them forever)is perfectly fine but to cut yourself open is not fine.Sayyidina Imam Husain would definitively dissaprove of those cutting and injuring themselves.This cutting and injuring yourself is not a way to mourn for the martyrs of Karbala.The commemoration of all the martyrs of Karbala including Sayyidina Imam Husain can be done by distributing food to the poor and destitute Muslims.Allah bless our prophet Muhammad S.A.W his family and all his descendants ❤
