The bold part is what Shia believe, and I respect for what they do. They have different ideology and I don’t want to say anything against it as I am nobody to say such thing.
However other Muslims who believe in such things like ceremonial mourning etc, its not what these pure souls have taught us. And by gathering to mourn doesn’t provide any proof that Imam Aaali Muqaam is the real victor. We all know intentions of Imam and Yazid and anyone can see the difference of the lives they lived and the way they died. The real thing is to practice the message of Imam Hussain, his father and Grand father :saw:. Are we following it or not. Most of the Ummah is not following the basics except for Ramadhan and Muharram. Thats the cry of time, thats the worrisome thing. We need to remember Prophet, his companion and Ahle bait’s teachings and lives throughout the year, not just Ramadhan or Muharram in a specific way.
Remember how Prophet used to perform tahhujjud whole night weeping for Ummah and its sins and pray for them to Allah.
Remember how Ahle-bait did faaqa for days and their isaar and their sacrifices.
Remember why Imam got out of the comfort to make a difference between truth and evil. Implement it in our lives, daily lives. Speak only but truth, reach out to the humanity and help them.
Do something good to bring harmony among Muslims of different school of thoughts, instead of immitating other sects or blindly opposing them. So the other Muslims, let Shias do what they do, with respect. And focus ourselves to the message of Imam and his Grand father. Inshallah nobody will be hurt and nobody will hurt others. You don’t need to bring taziye and rallies just to compete with others. Do fast on 9th-10th or 10th-11th as Prophet recommended and other things he taught us.
AOA
