Salaam Brother and sister , I thought i better start a new topic on Zar , for those of you who don't know Zar is haram in Islam and there is no proof that can be found in the Holy Quran and Any of the Hadiths ,
I am still a learner and i really can't give you any more information on this but what i need to know is , What happen in my own house was it Zar or just Zikkar
before I start explaining what happen I would like to make it clear I myself don't follow any sect ie i don't beleive I am a sunnee ,Wahbee,Sufeee or any other Sect's that do exist , I beleive all mosque are a house of Allah and therefore if you hear the Athan you should attend to it regards less of what sect it might belong. this option is my own option and does not come from any hadiths , in a nut shell beleive in One Allah and follow his messager prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him.
This is what happen
my parent follow this sect that are know as Brav-reee they call them self Sunnee , { can't spell sorry} never the less they orgainise this gathering in my house were this person believe he was from a lineage of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing up him. any way cut to the point I basically said in my house Women will sit in a sperate room and men in the other one.
this Person ask his to switch off all lights in the house , so it was completely dark , he basically ask us all to join him in Zakkar , so he started off saiding
Allah oooooooooooooooooo for good 30 to forth times and many other surah was recited
the men were all sit in a circle , I decided to cover my head with a scarf , even thought we were in the dark. he then ask us to image we where dead and when thought all the death process , scaring the hell out of me and making me realize that death could really happen anytime { not that I was not aware of it but you know what i mean} He then made dua to Allah S.W.T asking forgivingnes and basically by the time he finish his dua we all were in tears
What I want to know is , what happen here is this a form of Zar or is this the safe side of Zakkar
As you all know I don't want to go to hell fire and i ask allah to forgive me and all of us if wrong has happen here.
Wasalaam
