My christmas look!

Hello dear ladies and my beautiful readers,







I hope you all are fine and would be busy in the preparations for coming festival. Many of my readers asked me to post a Christmas look. I have some Christian friends living nearby, they have invited me to the parties but unfortunately I had to refuse their invitations. As you know the month of Muharram is going on. After my last post of Muharram i came to know that unfortunately most of my readers are not aware about this month. I think we all should know about every religion, this will surely bring us closer. This is very necessary for a true globalization.





Anyways, I should explain some thing about this month. Ladies, as you know that it is a sad occasion and this is continue about 2 month and during these days we keep away from all kinds of makeup and jewelery and even colorful dresses like red, yellow etc. we don't participate in any of the functions, party or any kind of occasion. My friends understood it so they didn't insist me.

But I love my readers and respect their wishes so I had prepared a post for Christmas look before Muharram and I'm very happy that I'm able to keep my reader's request because being a blogger it's my duty to help my readers.



So this is the look for Christmas. I love to apply gold eye shadow on any festival occasion. My sweater was black so i mixed black shadow with gold.

I have applied dark sparkling shade on my lips. Check it out and hope you like it:))

Muharram( the sacrifice for Islam)

Note- I would request my readers not to wish Happy Muharram because this is a very sad occasion.
Very busy this week because Muharram is going on. Have to keep attending Majalises but still I felt that I should tell you people about Muharram. I know that most of us would be knowing about this event already but still I felt that being a Muslim it is my responsibility to tell you about it. Today is 8th Muharram and on Thursday is the day of Ashura i.e. 10th Muharram. Now let's begin-

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic New Year and is marked by a 10 day period of mourning for the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (A.S. - Peace be upon him), Hussain ibn Ali (A.S.) who was massacred along with his family on the plains of Kerbala, Iraq. It was on the 10th of this month, known as the night of Ashura, 680 A.D.that Imam Hussain (A.S..), the choicest scion of the family of Prophet Muhammad (A.S.) became a marty under such difficult conditions by the cruel ruler, Yazid, son of Muawiyah who treated them so cruelly that he even stopped their food and water supply due to which they had to remain without food and water for 3 days in the extreme hot weather of that desert, Karbala.

In the events of 10 days, in that one spot on earth, all the great lessons of the Qur'an were brought to life in front of the witness of history - and all those who were or are in doubt that the highest ideals of the Qur'an could be lived up to - all those who felt that the highest Qur'anic ideals were beyond the reach of humans - were in that place on Earth, that Kerbala, proved wrong. Doubts were shattered, and the jewels of Qur'anic truth were brought out and displayed in the desert of Kerbala.

The beginning of the Muslim New Year in the year 680 A.D., the greatest act of renewal was begun. The events of the first 10 days of Muharram marked the point of a new beginning for Islam when truth was victorious over wrong deeds. Imam Hussain (A.S.) proved that wars are not only won by violence and by shedding each others blood but by sacrifice and patience.

Here are some famous sayings of some famous writers and authors-

Thomas Carlyle (Scottish historian and essayist):

“The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Cerebella is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!”

Edward Gibbon (English historian and member of parliament):
“In a distant age and climate, the tragic scene of the death of Husein will awaken the
sympathy of the coldest reader.” (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, London,
1911, volume 5, p. 391-392)

Mahatma Gandhi (Indian political and spiritual leader):
“I learnt from Hussain how to achieve victory while being oppressed.”

Charles Dickens (English novelist):
“If Husain had fought to quench his worldly desires…then I do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam.”

Edward G. Brown (Professor at the University of Cambridge):
“…a reminder of that blood-stained field of Karbala, where the grandson of the Apostle of God fell, at length, tortured by thirst, and surround by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at anytime since then, sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and the heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic grief, and an exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger, and death shrink to unconsidered trifles.”
(A Literary History of Persia, London, 1919, p.227)

Sir William Muir (Scottish orientalist):
“The tragedy of Karbala decided not only the fate of the Caliphate, but also of Mohammadan kingdoms long after the Caliphate had waned and disappeared.”
(Annals of the Early Caliphate, London, 1883, p.441-442)

So this was all what I wanted to tell my readers around the world about Muharram and it's importance. Hope you like this post. Have a great week!!!
