[quote]A very graphic account narrated very well. Can I ask if you are a shia't?
I have always wanted to know;  as I understand the circumstances the acircumstances leading to the battle and the martydom of hazrat Hussain pbuh is an extremely traggic aspect of Islamic history.

Having said that as a muslim we believ that the true life is the eternal life after death. The Qur'an itself says that

[So, remember Me and be grateful to Me in the face of all the difficulties in treading this path.] Believers, take strength from perseverance and Sala'h [against the aggressions of these rejecters[30]]. Indeed, God is with those, who remain steadfast [in times of trouble][31]. And for those, who are killed in the way of God [in such encounters], do not call them 'dead'. They are, in fact, alive[32], but you do not understand [the reality of that life[33]]. We shall indeed test you [in this path, for your faith and sincerity][34] with some[35] fear[36], some hunger[37] and some loss of wealth, life[38] and of fruits[39]. And [Prophet,] give glad tidings [of great blessings in this world as well as the Hereafter] to those, who are steadfast [in these tests]. [They are those,] who, when a calamity afflicts them, say: "Indeed we belong to God and indeed [one day,] we shall return to Him"[40]. It is they, upon whom shall be great blessings and mercy from their Lord and it is they, who shall be guided [to His paths]. (153 - 157)al-baqrah

My query is that how do shiat's explain the rituals of muharram, as undertaken in shiat countries. Why do we try to self beat ourselves? the Qur'an says from God we came and to God we have to return.[/quote]
