And if one thinks that processions were not part of life during the early days of Islam then open a good book and check again. You may wish to read the accounts of the return of Muslim armies from various battles, the event of the arrival of Prophet (saww) in Madina, the occasion of Hajj particularly Hujjatul Widda, the many funerals of notable shohada like Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib where Prophet himself ordered or even led large numbers of people in processions

**
Borther Pagluu** – The processions that you mention were one-off events and were not performed annually as a religious events.

@Pagluu

And if you wish to forward time a little and you may find a certain wife of Prophet (saww) leading processions of armies to battlefields (despite explicit prohibition by Allah in Quran and His Prophet via prior warnings). The king of Syria also organised processions to lament the murdered caliph, Uthman bin Affan (see: Sunni Imam Ibn Qutayba’s Al-Imama wa Siyasa).

Strange that you are quoting the examples of people you despise. You don’t want follow their ‘Sunnah’. Do you? Then these two ‘events’ were ‘one-offs’ too.
