Every year, Muslims all over the world take part in these bloody self-flagellation ceremonies to mark the tenth day of the Islamic calendar and to mourn the death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Husayn, at the Battle of Karbala.
Sunni Muslims celebrate it the date - which they refer to as the Day of Atonement - as the day
Israelites were freed from the Pharaoh of Egypt. Some Muslims commemorate the day by carrying out brutal acts of self-flagellation, others slap their chests and chant, and some take part in 'street plays'.
Many people also choose to make a pilgrimage to the Mashhad al-Husyn in Iraq, which is thought to be the resting place of Imam Husayn.
These photographs show young boys parading down the streets of Iraq's capital Baghdad with blood dripping from their wounded heads and onto their white robes. They are flanked by their mothers dressed entirely in black.
The Day of Ashura has become a national holiday in some predominantly Muslim countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain and Pakistan.

ReplyDeleteOK lemme give u a brief, Islam is a religion of peace, the word islam is gotten from salam, which means peace dtz y our greeting is always salam..the Qur'an and had it is our guide, yet there are stories of the ancient pple which is told by the most knowledged of pple, but if it talks abt violence then it's a fabricated story..islam preaches peace and unity even to d disbelievers..whoever in the world resorts to violence in anyway is not practicing islam..u can learn more if u want by contacting a real islamic scholar..as in real coz dere are so many fakes
DeleteThis is more than a religion
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I want to say that their no line of the prophet Muhammad anyone knows, whoever says he's prophet's grandson or whatever is a lie, a very blatant line, nobody in the world is related to d prophet, his line are gone, the only pple he has left are the believers, that's us the muslims, so wat this pple are doing is madness, even wen d prophet died this was not practiced..but d ignorant ones will go ahead and believe..any1 who dies in d nonesense dey are doing is going straight to hell..this all is just madness
