Forbidden acts on the 10th
It is absolutely clear that the significance of the day of 'Ashura is from the time of the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam. However, many people regard this day, as the day of mourning the martyrdom of Hadrat Imam Husayn Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu. The martyrdom of Hadrat Husayn Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu was indeed a great tragedy but Islaam is not a religion of perpetual mourning. **Abu Saeed Radi Allahu anhu relates that Sayyadina Rasullullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam has cursed mourners and those who listen to them (attentively)**. (Abu Dawood)
The pages of Islamic History are filled with the blood of the martyrs. Should we begin to mourn the martyrdom of the Sahabah-e-Kiram Radi Allahu ta'ala anhum alone, every other day would be a day of mourning. Thus, to attribute the significance of 'Ashura to the martyrdom of Hadrat Husayn Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu is baseless. Therefore, the host of baseless customs with regard to his martyrdom must be discarded.
Shaykh Abd al-Haqq Muhaddith Dehlawi Radi Allahu anhu writes: Beware! Do not participate in the innovations of the Rawaafidh [extreme shi'ah sect]. Do not involve yourself in the mourning, lamenting and displaying grief. This is not the conduct of the Muslims. If mourning was permissible then the day of the demise of Sayyadina Rasulullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam would have been more worthy for (mourning and lamenting). Also, refrain from innovations of the Khawaarij (those who harbour hatred for the family of Rasullullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam. Similarly, refrain from the innovations of the ignorant because they oppose ruin with destruction, innovations with innovations and evil with sin and show great joy and happiness in it. **They regard the tenth of Muharram as the day of Eid. They indulge in adornment and dying of the hair and beard, applying surmah (collyrium), wearing new clothes, spending lavishly, and cooking various foods and khitchra (a certain type of food) which are not generally prepared. All these actions are regarded as sunnah according to their belief, where as the true sunnah is to shun all these useless practices, since no authentic narration sanctioning and permitting such actions can be found**. (Ma thabata bis sunnah Page 20-21)
MasterAseel :: Muharram-ul-Harram
1- so shld one put srumah or refrain from it ??? (its in both recommend and forbidden acts)
2- If Rasool s.a.w cursed mourners then does it apply to Hazrat Yaqoob a.s ?
3- So ppl who say Prophet s.a.w never cursed anyone, they r wrong ?

^ dear friend, if only these people could** see**, they will realize all the contradictions
so i was messing around with my ipod touch and i came up this idea.
since the iphone os 3 supports w3c geolocation api, i decided to use it and create a simple and clean web app for getting namaz/salat times 
www.namaz.me check it out and post comments.
it works on iphone, android, win mo, nokia every where
however on desktop computers with firefox 3.5, chrome2 it will be more accurate
likewise on iphone/ipod with os3 and android with os1.5 it will be more accurate
for all other devices the accuracy is not so good since for the devices which dont support w3c geolocation api it uses ip geolocation.
hmm
