My Counter Argument.

It is bidat to mourn and lament because Hadrat Husain ‘radiAllahu anh’ was martyred on that day. It is sinful. Mourning on Ashura Day is a custom of the Shiis. They mourn for Hadrat Husain. Because he was Hadrat Ali’s son, they praise him adoringly. But we the Ahl as-sunnat love him very much because he was Rasulullah’s grandson. There is no mourning in Islam. Muslims do not mourn only on Ashura Day. But they always become sad whenever they remember the tragedy of Karbala. They grieve deeply. They weep bitterly. If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away.

WTF?!
ok here is my counter argument..


1) We praise Imam Ali (a.s) is because Prophet Muhammad (saww) praised him himself. And he declared him his “Wali” Where were your hadith writers then?


2) By mourning the event of Karbala, we not only “weep bitterly” for our Prophet Muhammad (saww)’s grandson, but we weep because the Ummah that claimed to follow the Prophet (saww) turned their backs against his family after he passed away.


3) We also weep because to this day, the world did not understand our Mola.. calling the Battle of Karbala a “political battle.” 


4) “If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away. ”

If there was mourning in Islam... you would’ve also attended the Prophet (saww)’s funeral or helped in the preparations instead of choosing your next caliph. 

GRRRR.
