Allahu ta'ala has accepted many prayers on Ashura Day. Acceptance of Hadrat Adam's repentance; Hadrat Nuh's (Noah's) ship's being rescued from the Flood, Hadrat Yunus' getting out of the fish's stomach; Hadrat Ibrahim's not burning in Nimrod's fire; Hadrat Idris' being made to ascend to heavens; Hadrat Yaqub's finding his son Yusuf and healing of the cataract on his eyes; Hadrat Yusuf's getting out of the well; Hadrat Ayyub's recovering health; Hadrat Musa's (Moses) passing over the Nile and Pharaoh's being drowned; Hadrat Isa's birth and his escaping from being killed by Jews and his ascent to heaven alive all these happened on the Ashura Day. It is not an act of worship for Muslims to cook (the sweet desert called) ashura on the tenth of Muharram because Hadrat Nuh (Noah) cooked a sweet called ashura on board the ship. Hadrat Muhammad and the Sahaba did not do so. It is a bidat, a sin to think that it is an act of worship to cook ashura on that day. It is worship to do what Hadrat Muhammad did and commanded. It will not bring thawab to do things that are not written in books of the din or taught by savants of the din. It is sinful. It is sunnat, and worship, to prepare any sweet or to give feasts to acquaintances and alms to the poor on that day. Ibni Abidin writes on the two hundred and seventy-sixth page of the fifth volume, "It is a sunnat to put kohl on the eyelashes. But it is haram to do this only on Ashura Day."

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.

A good post brother, but not sure why we should say Mubarak ?

A good post brother, but not sure why we should say Mubarak ? Why not? .... all months of Allah are Mubarak months. Its the shias who have been spoonfeeding the media that its their month of constantly beating their chests, wailing and cutting their bodies open. We remember, discuss and are saddened by events of karbala, but also celebrate the life and virtues of Imam Husayn and all the Ahl al Bayt Radi Allahu anhum with grace and dignity, as prescribed in many hadith of Rasulallah. Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.

The ordinary non muslim wont give 2 figs about the shia doing their matam? they will assume that this is a muslim thing, they wont trouble themselves to do research that only the shia are into self mutilation. Why do the bbc and sky keep showing these gory and bloody images.
