Mariyam Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 You fought the good fight! Indeed. I guarantee a house in jannah for the one who gives up arguing' date=' even if he is right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of jannah for the one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of jannah for the one who has good manners.[/quote']

Middle part is downright impossible. Regarding the first part, so sissies are guaranteed a house in Jannah. :P

But I value my place in jannah, so I'll pass. :P
EnterTheVoid Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Expand? Day of Ashura = Sacred for Shia Muslims. A lot of Shia's participate self flagellation of this day. Sectarian violence between Shia's and Sunnis' in the past have happened in and around this day. Off topic but I can't believe this day is a public holiday in India.
coffee_rules Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Is this when they paint whole body like a tiger and dance around the streets? Also, I have seen people shove swords through their throats.
1983-2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I have heard sunnis dont do much except fast for 2 days during this period while shias do take out processions and do other stuff on this ashura day
panther Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 i dont understand why shihas hit themselves how can this be islam?
punjabi_khota Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 i dont understand why shihas hit themselves how can this be islam? Dude if people can blow them selves up (and a couple 100 others) in name of Islam, this aint got nothing on it. :giggle:

This thread is to wish people. Not for these discussions. Since you ask, suicide bombing is as un-Islamic as eating pork. The Holy Quran forbids a person from pre-deciding his own place/time of death. Its seen as an affront to Allah, as he's taking away a life that Allah has given him. In fact, when a man had committed suicide during the Prophet's (S.A.W) lifetime, he did not perform the janazah prayer at the deceased funeral.

Desi Cartman Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 i dont understand why shihas hit themselves how can this be islam? It's like me wondering why people bend down in a particular direction all their lives and doing it multiple times a day. What may make sense to u might not to someone else
EnterTheVoid Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I can't understand why the self flagellation/mutilations on this day.
Lurker Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Since you ask, suicide bombing is as un-Islamic as eating pork. The Holy Quran forbids a person from pre-deciding his own place/time of death. Its seen as an affront to Allah, as he's taking away a life that Allah has given him. So I have a question for you Mariyam. And it is not quite relevant to this thread so you may skip it if you want to. Why do you think historically there has been so much violence in Islamic religious places (mosque)? Many key figures of Islam, Ali for example, or Umar. Or modern day killings in mosque based on sectarian violence. Typically religious places are safety sanctuaries. At times like flood, arson, riots these are often the last resort of people seeking refuge, regardless of religious leaning. So why this propensity of killing in a religious sanctorum amongst Muslims? Other religions could very well be guilty of doing it at some time but I doubt they have such chequered history. No offence meant of course.
