Pearl of Wisdom

'...But Allah tests His worshippers with many different hardships, He makes them engage in different struggles, and He makes them undergo different kinds of misfortunes. All this in order to extract arrogance from their hearts, to establish humbleness in their selves, and to make them open the doors to His Grace.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 192

Question : #1068 Category: Muharram Related
Subject: saf matam
Question: Salaams,

I would appreciate it if you could let inform me of the meaning of 'saf' matam and where did it originate from. How is it supposed to be done as over here people put their hands on their partners's shoulders while moving one foot forward and one foot backwards and at the same time going around in a circle.

Some youngsters object saying it is more like a dance.

Regards,

Saira
