(BISMILLAH)

 

(Salam)

 

I hope you are all in the best of health, both physically and spiritually.

 

I created this topic so that we may share, and examine, each other's cultures and how Muharram is commemorated by people of different origins.

 

For example, in my culture, it is seen as impolite for one to watch T.V. - as in, operas and serials, not 'serious' stuff like News - in the first 10 days of Muharram, though this often extends till Arbaeen and, for some people, till Eid az-Zahra (9 Rabi al-Awal).

 

Does your culture have a similar custom? What other customs do you have?

May i ask what eid az-Zahra is?

 

The 11th Imam AS was martyred on 8 Rabi' al-Awal, so the 9th of Rabi' al-Awal is called Eid-e-Zahra, the day of celebrating the Imamat of Imam Zaman AJ.

in chennai we dont eat non-veg for 12 days 

and many dont watch movies tv serials,reality shows etc for 2 months but we do watch sports and some shia channels like WIN,HIDAYAT,HADI

There were some starange customs before but rarely see them now some people dont wear footwear till arbaeen 

 

 

and the worst custom of all is children  play HOLI during eid e zehra they even  throw eggs,tomatoes at each other
