Arete Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 so you also don't know the answer to my question. Your question is ambiguous. Please clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganesh Ujwal Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 It is an act of mourning. Muslims have evidence from hadith to show that the companions of the prophet would mourn by inflicting damage on themselves. is this correct answer?

Arete Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 "Tatbir (Arabic: تطبير), also known as Talwar zani and Qama Zani in South Asia,[1] is an act of mourning by some of Shi'i Muslims for the younger grandson of Muhammad, Imam Husayn ibn Ali, who was martyred along with his children, companions and near relatives at the Battle of Karbala by the Umayyad Caliph Yazid I. ... The practice of Tatbir includes striking oneself with a form of a talwar "sword" on the head, causing blood to flow in remembrance of the innocent blood of Imam Husayn. Some Twelvers also hit their back and/or chest with blades attached to chains." Directly from the wiki article. If you need further clarification, you'll need to refine your question.

So in the beginning it was an act of mourning, and then it became an act of remembrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
