One thing I really really love about the Shia creed, and see as a great source of power for this belief system, is the fact that, despite its story beginning in betrayal, and a righteous and deserving leader and his followers falling victim to cynical abuse of usurped power - the Shia belief is not about revenge, getting back is not one of its core values; justice and fighting oppression is. And this makes a world of difference. When the Shia say 'everywhere is Karbala and every day is Ashura', they are not looking to balance out an old injury: they mean: we must always resist oppression, and not become oppressors ourselves. Everything is important; justice must be part of every decision, and we never agree to normalize evil. I could equate this saying with the Jewish 'never again is now', and how it is being used in precisely the opposite way: not as a way to defend humanity, but to justify atrocities against people who resist Jewish domination. You will never hear this message in Shia. By keeping their faith centered not on revenge, but on justice, the Shia created an amazing connection between deeply felt collective pain and a drive to right wrongs in the world that is inherent to the very core of the religious practice. As someone who grew up inside the unbelievably vengeful world of Judaism, I see and experience this decidedly different approach not only as psychologically and philosophically right and brilliant, but as a way to actually heal the world

@Simply_Blooom Must have for our sisters in Pakistan.

A man in Pakistan invented an electric glove & electric ring for women in buses. He said it’s because women get touched and teased so they can easily taser the men, and their hands will be numbed for about 2-3 hours.

@ayeshaijazkhan Shias are unequivocally clear on monotheism being their core belief. This guy is framing it in a very twisted matter.

As a Sunni, I agree that our core belief is monotheism and that there is only one God. But would Shias agree with the characterisation of their faith below?

@muntazireimam84 Sistani announced moon sighting day later than Iran.

Iranians doing Ashura one day earlier is messing up with my brain pls

Hazrat Abbas (AS) was the strength of Imam Hussain (AS) in Karbala. His courage was so great that even thousands of enemies feared him. Despite his intense thirst, he refused to drink water from the Euphrates, choosing loyalty to Imam Hussain (AS) and the thirsty children over his own life. His bravery, sacrifice, and devotion remain unmatched to this day.

@muntazireimam84 Arbaaz sounds like a product of generations of traumatic inbreeding. Anyone who believes that the family of RASULULLAH PBUH has no link with them isn't a sane muslim. Period.

Kis kis ko aaj pata chala hai ke woh "because of something that has no link to you" brainwash hochukay hain aur generational trauma hasil kar chukay hain?

The men of Karbala gave their lives for the truth. The women of Karbala carried that truth through unimaginable grief, preserving the message of Karbala for generations to come. Today, we remember both 🖤 #Ashura

@asadfacts Waisay the top debating teams usually had people from different ends of the spectrum. Unparalleled range of input.

Man, all these Shia-Sunni debates make me miss my O-Levels debating team. 3 members: me, a cultural-ish Shia, one friend a hardcore atheist, and the other friend a hardcore Wahhabi - you can’t imagine the sheer chaos and fun we'd have.

On the 10th of Muharram, when the cries of “Al-Atash” (thirst) echoed from the tents, Hazrat Abbas (AS), the loyal standard-bearer of Imam Hussain (AS), sought permission to bring water for the thirsty children and family members. He rode towards the Euphrates River and courageously broke through the enemy lines. Reaching the water, he filled the water-skin (mashk) for the children. Despite suffering from intense thirst himself, he refused to drink, remembering the thirst of Imam Hussain (AS), the women, and the children in the camp. As he made his way back, the enemy attacked from all sides. His right arm was severed, yet he continued carrying the water-skin. Then his left arm was cut off, but he still struggled forward, determined to deliver water to the thirsty camp. Finally, an arrow pierced the water-skin and the precious water spilled onto the sands of Karbala. Moments later, he was struck down and attained martyrdom. Hazrat Abbas (AS) left the tents to bring water for the children, but he never returned. His sacrifice, loyalty, courage, and devotion to Imam Hussain (AS) remain a timeless example of faith and selflessness. السلام عليك يا قمر بني هاشم السلام عليك يا أبا الفضل العباس (ع)

@FahadChishte @asadfacts Does this moron realize how many retarded neanderthals are willing to blow themselves up to kingdom come? The stringent security measures are to protect worshippers.

Even if your concern is valid, the choice of words used to express it is neither constructive nor appropriate. In a country where roadblocks, sit-ins, and shutter-down strikes frequently disrupt daily life for far less compelling reasons, singling out Muharram processions appears less like a genuine concern for public inconvenience and more like an attempt to undermine legitimate security considerations. Serious discussions require consistency in standards, not selective outrage directed at particular communities or occasions.
