Like Karbala-e-Mouallah, on the day of Ashoora and Arbaeen, Lakh of Shias in “Black Garments” from allover takeout grand processions which are miles and miles in length and in this processions Taziyas and Alams are carried out and perform unrestless Matam in the form of Chest beating with Blade and Sharp Pins and beat the Back with the bunch of knives and mini Swords and beat the Head with a Khum (Sharp Sword), these processions continues till midnight. ((The opinion of famous Scientists that, if a person injected blood other than his group will die of infection, but Alhamdulillah “it is a miracle of Imam Hussain (A.S.) that the Momineens exchange their Blades and Swords etc but nobody was at all infected ever)) |
