In Muharram, different people celebrate it in different ways. Some cut their body with blades, sword etc to show their sypathy to Hazrat Hassan and Hazrat Hussain. Some celebrate it with joy. Some with sorrow. What should actually be done on this day? Can we light up our homes in Muharram? Can we cook delicious food? please provide complete information..... |

No, one should'nt celebrate this day with joy...or by cooking delicious food and all..Lightning up your home is still fine ...This is a sad month which shouldnt be celebrated happily..!! A'ashura- A Day of Grief: Imam Reza (A.S.) said: The one for whom the day of A'shura is a day of tragedy, grief and weeping, Allah The Mighty, The Glorious, shall make the Day of Judgment, a day of joy and happiness for him. (Bihar al-Anwar, vol,: 44,pg: 284) Muharram - The Month of Mourning: Imam Reza (A.S.) said: With the advent of the month of Muharram, my father Imam Kazim (A.S.) would never be seen laughing; gloom and sadness would overcome him for (the first) ten days of the month; and when the tenth day of the month would dawn, it would be a day of tragedy, grief and weeping for him. (Amaali Saduq, pg,:111) The eyes that weep Husayn (A.S): The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise. (Bihar al-Anwar, vol,: 44;pg,:293.) 1 Muharram is New year day. It is not Islamic to say Happy new year. If someone (that is illiterate(jaheel unknown about this) says that to you; you are allowed to wish them the same with the context "and to you too". With the reminder next year he shouldn't repeat it again...!! so brother after referring to these contexts I would finally conclude that it is a month of immense grieve and it should'nt be celebrated...nor we should wish anyone happy new year...!! AND ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST |
