"The manners of mourning for Aba 'Abd Allah Al-Husayn(a)"

☑️1.Wearing black
According to Fiqh(religious jurisprudencce) wearing black is reprehensible,exept for the mourning for Imam Al-Husayn(a) and the infallible Imams(a),because that is a sighn of sorrow and also for promotion of the sacraments and epics.

☑️2.Condoling:
Condoling with stricken people and who are suffering misfortune is recommended in Islam.The Holy Prophet(s): Who ever condoles with an afflicted person,has a reward as his(Safinat al-Bihar,vol.2 ,p.188). This tradition is so common among shias, they express their condolences with this statement "May God increase your reward". Imam Bagher(a) says:"When shias meet each other during the mourning days for Aba 'Abd Allah,it's better to iterate the statement(( May God increase our reward for mourning over Imam Husayn(a), and include us among his avengers along with our saint Imam Mahdi(a),the member of the Prophet's household))(Mostadrak al-Vasayel,vol.2. ,p. 216).

☑️3. Abandoning occupations in Ashura:
Imam al-Sadiq (a):
"Anyone who makes the day of 'Ashura a holiday, i.e. he does not go for his jobs and occupations and in spite of Umayyads who considered 'Ashura a day of abundance of profits, he does not go after work even for the living, God will provide his needs in this world and in the hereafter, and for anyone the day of 'Ashura is a day of sorrow and grief, the Day of Resurrection which is a day of distress for all, will be a day of happiness for him. (Amali by Sheikh Saduq, p. 129)

☑️4.Shedding Tears and showing sorrow:
In a Qudsi hadith ( Hadith from God), we read that Allah said to Prophet Moses (a): O, Moses, If my servants either shed tears for Muhammad's grandson (Imam Husayn) in the day of his martyrdom (Ashura), or show sorrow and offer each other condolences on tragedies happened to Imam Husayn (a), s/he will arive in heaven and stay there forever.

☑️5. Reciting Ziarat al-Ashura:
If you can, recite Ashura with its 100 lans but if there is not enough time, once is enough.

☑️6. Holding mourning ceremonies which is also confirmed By Imam Sadiq (a).

☑️7.Afternoon prayer of Ashura:
The master of martyrs (Imam Husayn) and his loyal companions were all slaughtered in the path of prayer. That's why in the Motlaghe Ziyarat of Imam Husayn (a), we say to Imam that: I witness that you performed the prayer (Salat), and gave alms and commanded on the right and deprecated the wrong.

☑️8.Bearing some discomfort:
Quit some life enjoyments which come from eating, drinking, and even sleeping and speaking (unless it's necessary) and also quit visiting people and dedicate that day to crying and being sad like a person who has lost his father or child.

☑️9. Having sheer/pure intentions:
Don't do mourning because you are used to doing it and try to do it with pure and sheer intentions and only for the sake of God because a small good work which is with sincere and pure intentions is alot better than alot of works in which there is no honesty and pure intentions even if it's thousands times more.
