Here in Kuwait we only hit our chests in Muharram and we don't hit ourselves with knifes .. maybe you saw a play, usually in Muharram shia act in plays ,in this plays they marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala when Imam Husayn ibn Ali, a grandson of Muhammad the founder of Islam, and a Shia Imam, was killed by the forces of the second Umayad caliph Yazid..
and many people ask these two questions about shia ..
Q.Why do Shias hit their chests in Muharram?
A.The hitting of the chest in Muharram symbolizes a Muslim's grief towards the martyrdom of Imam Hussain that resulted in a very bloody and tragic war between good and evil. Imam Hussain didn't die a normal death but was part of a massacre in the name of Allah that resulted in the death of 110 innocent children and many of the women that were women. With 72 loyal companions he faced Yazeed's 40,000 army. This isn't a tragedy that just passes and is forgotten this easily. If a person for example lost a father, he or she would hit her chest or head in grief, this is what Shias do over the death of Imam Hussain.
This act also helps to keep Imam Hussain's cause alive in the hearts of Muslims all around the world. If we stopped crying over Imam Hussain, he would disappear like many other big figures in history.
Q. Isn't it haram to beat yourself because of a person?
A. First of all, Imam Hussain isn't a normal person and is considered higher than others according to the Quran (Innemah yoreed Allah li yoth-hib ankom alrijs ahl albait wa yotehhirekom tatheerah (33:33)) and therefore he is given higher respect.
If you do something that conflicts damage upon yourself, then it is haram. Therefore, if beating yourself in Muharram results in your death or catching a disease then it is haram. However, both these arguments are irrelevant because they cannot possibly occur when a person simply beats his chest.
i hope that you get it now =) and that what i wrote is actually answering your question sweatdrop ..

I don't see how he would be so forgotten, all of the major Kalifs were and still are remembered, and the Prophet (PBUH) is never forgotten yet we don't cry over him or hit ourselves because of his death, it's a bit confusing.

Seriously...you never cry to the people who died,You don't even know how the dead people feels when munkar and nakeer asks them,What if he/she couldn't Answer their questions!?!
Wat if he/she forgot a prayer!? you don't even relize what type of punishment they get in their graves!!
So stop Blaming us for crying when we lose a person
And why don't we cry and hit ourselves when the world loses one of the holy household?!
The god chose 12 people from prophet muhammad's household (peace be upon them)so then there will be islam.
i'm sorry...but i have to say it,Without Ali bin abi talib(Peace be upon him)...Omar would have Domed

Litsen, if u follow hadith and qur'an, then yes it is wrong to hit urself, in any way! Male or Female, Chest or head, whip or hand!
I like to discuss this because the people who do these things usually get suprised when they figureout how haram it is to do these things.
About crying. U CAN ONLY CRY 3 DAYS AFTER SOMEONE IS DEATH! AND IF U DISAGREE, GO READ WHAT THE QUR'AN SAYS! (if ur husband is death u can cry longer though)

Here ( my mom,dad and other people ) , they say that it's haram to cry after 3 days , and it's in the qur'an !!
P.S : Some People says that if you cry after the 3 days , your tears will burn the man or woman who died ; is it right ?? personally i think that it's just to make people understaand =|
