Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Aza Fourth Example This example is related to the so called worshippers. They already have a very bad reputation. Their only purpose is to divert people?s thoughts from Ahlul Bayt (as) and busy the people in pretend worships. They show the same behavior regarding azadari. In Ramadan, Shab e Zarbart and Shab e Shahadat are the nights of qiyamat (day of judgment). In those nights only the martyrdom of Ameerul Momineen (as) is in our minds.

When we imagine how the Ahlul Bayt (as) would be feeling during those nights, our hearts become filled with pain. This pain does not allow us to sleep. We cry and do matam the whole night during those nights. These so called scholars gather the people in masjids during those nights to put Quran on their heads and ask Allah for the forgiveness of their sins and they forget the martyrdom of Moula Ali (as). On the night and day of Ashura, our hearts cry tears of blood.

We put dust on our heads and tear our clothes and chant "Ya Hussain (as) Ya Hussain (as)". We go from one imambargah to the next. We give our condolences to the Mother of Imam Hussain (as) for the brutal slaughter of Her Family. We forget everything in the grief of Imam Hussain (as). We forget if we need to eat. We forget if we even exist. We forget even about our children.

The mothers of newborn babies do not feed their children because the thirst and hunger of the children of Imam Hussain (as) is in their minds. In order to shatter such devotion, amal e Shab e Ashur and amal e Shab e Asr e Ashur were invented. So that people forget Imam Hussain (as) and start doing these acts. If something else is left, they complete it by stopping the procession of Ashura to stand for prayer.

Ziaratul Hussain (as) We have completed our book, but it is our duty to remove one last extreme misconception regarding Ziarat e Qabr e Imam Hussain (as) (visiting the grave of Imam Hussain as). So called religious people say that we must first perform hajj and then ziarat. Because according to them, hajj is wajib and ziarat is mustahab. This is also an attempt to decrease the importance of Imam Mazloom (as). We deny this rumor with our whole existence.

We openly say Ziarat e Imam Hussain (as) is not mustahab. It is absolutely wajib (compulsory). Hajj is based upon conditions such as if you have the finances then you can perform, but the Ziarat of Imam Hussain (as) is wajib without any conditions.
