Hey Alyza, no one is being rude over here. They just want to share their views.. and no one is being disrespectful here either, they r not insulting shiyas....

wht's matam, but if it involves lil kids cutting themselves with knives, then wht's wrong with this world, sooooooooo brutial 😡

y you people think that its scary?? i m shiya and i dont find it scary and ya one more thing we dont beat ourselves...we people jus try to feel the pain they felt thas it.....!!! and ya if we people dont say anything bout you guys then you guys betta dont say anythin rude and stuff like this...**wht's matam, but if it involves lil kids cutting themselves with knives, then wht's wrong with this world, sooooooooo brutial** and ya **andanu-pre4eva** thas how you guys share ur views like KAgirl did!
....?!guys please!!if you dont know anythin then its betta if you dont talk bout it! we people neva asked you y you guys dont do it and stuff like that....then y you guys wanna talk bout it!! did any of us cut a KID from ur people NO right?! then y you people say stuff like it:S?!?! its our way to feel the pain....its really sad for us!! and hosakey tu jana is barey mein!! and ya one more BIG thing WE ALL ARE MUSLIMS....tum bhi ushi KHUDA ko mantey ho jisse HUM mantey hain!!

first ov all its not Shians its Shias so neways as bisma_4eva! said "hope you guys get it..." one cud only get something if they wanted to, sunnis hindus n other ppl with other religoins hav this image tht we are cruel n brutal n they dont wanna change it! n thts where da racist thing comes in. KAgirl, it wud be brutial if somebodyelse was beating them kids but they beat themselves n if it hurted they wudn't do it so the main idea is if u ask nebudy, a six year old or sixty year they wud tell u tht it doesn't hurt becos it really doesn't hurt!!!!! n if it doesn't hurt them kids why the heck is it hurting u so bad. n there are things tht other ppl do tht r new or wierd or scary to us but u dont see me starting a topic bout it n not minding my own bussiness if its so scary nobody is forcing u 2 see it or do it!!!! if ne ov this wus offending to nebody i m sorry i m jus tryin 2 clear this thing to ppl cos i m jus sick ov these kinda topics even if it was bout neother religion or practicing system i wud try to defentd it cos i dont belive in pointing fingers thts it.

okey for people who don't know about matam and stuff:


Muharram festival commemorates the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). This festival starts at the 1st day of Muharram and lasts for 10 days until 10th of Muharram. Muharram is the first month of Islamic calendar.

During this month, while on a journey, Hazrat Imam Hussain, his family members and a number of his followers were surrounded by the forces of Yazid, the Muslim ruler of the time. During the siege, they were deprived of food and water and many of them were put to death. The incident happened at a place called Karbala in Iraq in 61st year after Hijra. This dispute was result of a disagreement among Muslims on the question of succession after the demise of Hazrat Ali, the fourth caliph.

Some sects of Muslims hold meetings where speeches are made on the happenings of Karbala and on the lives of martyrs. The Shias, however, observe this festival in a different fasion. As Muharram, the first month of the Muslim year, approaches, they put on black clothes, as black is regarded as a color of mourning. Majalis (assemblies) are held every day during the first nine days where shia orators relate the incident of the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain and his party in a great detail. On the 10th day of Muharram, large processions are formed and the devoted followers parade the streets holding banners and carrying models of the mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Hussain and his people, who fell at Karbala. They show their grief and sorrow by inflicting wounds on their own bodies with sharp metal tied to chain with which they scourge themselves. This is done in order to depict the sufferings of the martyrs. It is a sad occasion and everyone in the procession chants "Ya Hussain", with loud wails of lamentation. Generally a white horse beautifully decorated for the occasion, is also included in the procession, to mark the empty mount of Hazrat Imam Husain after his martyrdom.

During these first ten days of Muharram, drinking posts are also set up temporarily by the Shia community where water and juices are served to all, free of charge.

when shia muslim hit thmeselves, that is called matam...

hope you guys get it...

😭

i appreciate tht u took time to explain this to ppl

I know it gives u a very bad sight when u loook such things..But shia muslims just curse themselves for not being the supporter of Hazrat Imaam HUssain that time, the particular group of people behaved badly with their family including Hazrat fatima razi tala anha and Hazrat ALi razi tala anha.. so now when they look up to whole karbala waqiya they just cry hard for what there forefathers did..

and while doing matam and shedding their blood they show that if they could be presnt at that time, they could have sacrificed their life for Hazrat Imaan hussain razi tala anha..

Crying is okay till its the punishment by Allah too but beating urself brutally is definitely wrong..
