Anyone who has truly studied the
life of Imam Hussain and Hassan (Radi Allahu
anhuma) will know it as a fact that he never wanted his followers to do all
this nonsense MAATAM.
SELF HARAM IS NOT A PART OF ISLAM
Our bodies have a right upon us and
it is a fact that on the Day of Judgment our bodies will speak and be a witness
in front of Allah.
يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ
وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (نور: ۲۴)
Our bodies are an amanah and gift
from Allah. This is such massive abuse of soul and the body both.
Slapping someone on face is haraam.
Cutting self is haraam,
Walking on coal and Self-Flagellation is downright haraam, and a
massive bi'dah and clear deviation from the religion of Prophet Muhammad (salallahu
aleyhi wasallam).
SHAYTAN LOVES BI'DAH
"Innovation is more beloved to
Iblees (Satan) than sin, since a sin may be repented from but innovation is not
repented from."
- Sufyan Ath Thawree (ra)
Bid'ah (innovation) means "a
newly invented matter".
The Shari'ah definition of bid'ah
is: "A newly invented way [beliefs or action] in the religion, in
imitation of the Shari'ah (prescribed Law), by which nearness to Allah is
sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof - neither in its
foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed."
The Messenger (sallallahu 'alaihi
wa-sallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending,
supporting or taking from them (an act of bid'ah) saying: "Whoever
innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allah, His
Angels and the whole of mankind."
Reported by Bukhari (12/41) and Muslim (9/140)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, rends
his garment, or cries with the cry of the Jaahiliyyah.”
{Sahih Muslim}
Al-'Irbaad ibn Sariyah (radi Allahu
'anhu), reports that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa-sallam) said,
".... I have left you upon clear guidance. Its night is like its day. No
one deviates from it after me except that he is destroyed."
Reported by Ahmad, Ibn Maajah (no. 43) and al-Hakim.
Al-Marwazee (radi Allahu 'anhu) reports in as-Sunnah
(no. 95) that 'Umar ibn 'Abd Allah-'Azeez (radi Allahu 'anhu)
said, "There is no excuse for anyone, after the Sunnah, to be misguided
upon error which he thought was guidance."
