Re: A disappointing Dr Zakir Naik
and hey one more thing about beating/ matam that pplz say shias do it let
me tell one thing
Matam is NOT part of Shi'a Islam, it is a manner of mourning. You do NOT have to do Matam. That's number 1.
Second, there is no prohibition of Matam in the Qur'an or Sunnah, but there is AMPLE EVIDENCE to suggest that the Prophets and their Sahaba mourned in this way.
For example, in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sunan al-Nasa'i, and Sahih Muslim:
**"Rasulullah (s) was in a state where he was hitting his chest."
**What Owais Qarny, when after Rasoolullah broke a tooth during a battle, he took a stone and broke all of his teeth? What about that one? What does Abu Huraira have to say about that? Do these people not realize that history agrees with the permissibility of Matam?
The Qur'an says:
"Then came forward his wife in grief, she smote her face and said (what! I) An old barren woman?" (51:29)
Prophet Adam is narrated in their books to have beat himself:
"Hadhrath Adam was so distressed that he smashed his hands onto his knees and the skin from his hands caused gashes from which bone could be seen." - Ma'arij al-Nabuwwah
this is what i know and i think things should be clear
and just stop the fight
become one ..as it should be our prophet Muhammad s.a.w never wanted this
muslims in different sects .. its such a pity
thats wha they did one time when they were angry
ppl do such things when they are angry
but shia do matam again and again and again
when u r angry sit down
already sitting lie down
drink some water
ur bodies are Amanat from Allah
dont destroy em
