Iranian Shiite Muslims beat themselves and cover themselves with mud during ceremonial rituals to mark the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed.

Hussein said
Yaaa hussein ,,,yaa mahdii
Hassoun said
salamullahi 3al hussain.
it’s a shame how these pics are used by some ignorants on youtube to say that we worship the imams… it’s disgraceful, and such an insult

Mohammad Reza said
mr.Hassoun!Isn’t this work foolish?why you do like this with your self?you said that you don’t worship Imams,But I tell you that when you want things you don’t say it to god but you say it to Imams and when you want to prevent somone to do something you say him or her to scare from god.Quran Muhammad(P.B.U.H) and Imams learn us the god love us and we should love god,too.Youy say for example “Y Ali” to get help from him but yourself in “Namaz” say Iyyaka Nastain” means “We want help just from you(God)” so if you want help from Imams you worship them because you also say “We only worship you(God)”.
Mustafa said
I think that there is now harm to call help from the Immams to help us by there good works to make us closer to God all mighty. Allah said in the holly Quraan”Wabtagho elaih alwaseelah” so I think when to say oh ya Ali it is not a worship to them but to make us closer to God by their prayers. We pray Allah and love his loyals and wish to be 1% as they were

Its really shamfull that within islaam itself there are so many peolpe who don’t understand the differnce between Ahelebeth & The Almity . we Shias don’t worship Imaams but just keep ourselves abide by the reasponsibilty of following RESALAT.
All of you think again & again before puting this time of statement over net.
