Arsedestroyer · #7 01-09-2013, 04:31 AM

that's pretty hardcore, i wonder why they are doing it, it must have some special significance

Wow. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Thought I would be okay but that one slice....-shivers-

Anyone else notice all the scars on his back? Looks like he does this regularly.

I feel bad for the children staring wide eyed at this spectacle. =/

Does anyone know the reason behind this? Is it just a street show, or have some cultural or religious reasons?

Tatbir

Quote:

Tatbir (Arabic: تطبير‎), in the South Asia also known as Talwar zani and Qama Zani, is an act of mourning by some Shia Muslims in grief of the younger grandson of Islamic prophet Mohammad, Imam al Husain ibn Ali who was martyred along with his children, companions and near relatives in the battle of Karbala by the Ummayad ruler Yazid.

Performance of TatbirTatbir is performed every year on the 10th day of Islamic month of Moharram, known as the Day of Ashura, and Arbaeen by the Shiites around the world. However, some Shiites also perform Tatbir on other occasions like the 21st of Ramadan (the day when first Imam Ali ibn Abi talib was martyred in Kufa), 28th of Safar (in commemoration of Prophet Mohammad's Death and Martyrdom of second Shiite Imam Hasan ibn Ali) and any time during the mourning period starting from Moharram till 8th of Rabi ul Awwal.
The practice of Tatbir includes striking oneself with a form of a sword (talwar in South Asia) on the head, causing blood to flow in remembrance of the innocent blood of Imam al Husain ibn Ali which was shed by Yazid's forces in Battle of Karbala. Some Shiites also hit their back and/or chest with blades attached to chains. This is more commonly known as Zanjeer Zani.
