SHI’A SELF-MUTILATION AND MOURNING IS NOT FROM ISLAM

All across the world, and even in the UK we see strange practices taking place on and around the day of Ashura each year by the shi’ite Muslims, where they wail and shout out their supposed grief, even going as far as to hit themselves, or even to get whips and blades and beat and cut themselves in the mock rituals of mourning.

For the sons of mutah who cut themselves and hit themselves in the face on Ashura, you should know Imam Hussain alayhi salaam is free from your acts of jahiliyyah (ignorance).

Imam Hussain alayhi salaam shortly before his demise, had advised his beloved sister Sayyidah Zainab (Radhiallaahu Ánha) not to mourn over his death in this manner. He said, “My dear sister, I swear upon you that you, in case I die, shall not tear your clothes, nor scratch your face, nor curse anyone for me or pray for your death”.
Al-Kamil, ibn Kathir vol. 4 pg. 24

great thread brother

the media will capitalize on images of blood soaked "savages"
who even encourage their kids in this haraam and sick "tradition"

we must make it absolutely clear this blood sacrifice,self flagellation etc has no place in sunni islam

This is how the Arabs were invaded. The british made videos of them beating themselves bloody and went back and showed it to their people while saying "look how backward and uncivilized these people are, we need to go there and civilize them", same old excuse they used on many nations before.

Not "shi'ite Muslims".

Shi`as are Kaafirs. They worship Shaytaan.

Maulana Rasheed Ahmad Ludhyanvi رحمة الله عليه said that the Shi`as fall under the category of Murtaddeen.

Some people say that the Zaydi Shi`as (also known as Tafdheelis) are Muslim, because the Zaydi Shi`as believe the same as Ahlus Sunnah, but only say that Hadhrat `Ali رضي الله عنه was better than all the other Sahaabah and should have been the first Khaleefah. However, many of the `Ulamaa have stated that the Zaydi Shi`as no longer exist. The Shi`as around the world today are Ithnaa `Ashariyyah, and every Ithnaa `Ashari Shi`a is a Kaafir.
