Quote From
Muharram and Aashura
http://www.islamicity.com/m/news_frame. ... ceID=74253

Many erroneous beliefs exist regarding the Day of Ashura. It is necessary that such beliefs be discarded. The day of Ashura is regarded by many as the day of mourning the martyrdom of Sayyidina Husein (Allah be pleased with him). To attribute the significance of Ashura to the martyrdom of Sayyidina Husein (Allah be pleased with him) is baseless.
The significance of Ashura is from the time of Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) whilst Sayyidina Husein (Allah be pleased with him) was martyred fifty years after the passing of Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The significance of Ashura is attributed to many such occurrences and events, most of which are not proven by authentic sources.

Similarly, refrain from participating in the innovations of those who harbour hatred for the Ahlul-bait (the family of Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), or the innovations of the ignorant; those who oppose corruptions with corruption, innovations with innovations and evil with sin. Hence, they display great joy and happiness. They regard this day as an occasion of merrymaking and adornment and indulgence in Khidaab, applying surmah, wearing new clothes, sending lavishly and cooking various foods which are not generally prepared. All these actions are regarding as Sunnah by these ignorant people whereas the true Sunnah is to shun these practices, since no authentic narrations sanctioning such actions has been recorded. [Ma thabata bis Sunnah, pg 254].

[think]

do you think then that it is wrong for the bohri 's to have dinners in their jamaat khana's through out the 10 days of moharrum.

[ghulam muhammed]

is it in London?

I was told it is in Karbala.

Inappropriate ! in my opinion.

I second that ! It is like the hindus doing stage shows during Diwali and Janmashtmi and like performing Ram Leela.

[Aymelek]

Inappropriate ! in my opinion.

Agreed

Agreed that is why there is no merry making amongst Shias on these days.

Well, practices of lavish food amongst Bohras these days, is definetly indulgence. But it is a recent innovation.
