Hence, when they -asws see Muslims walking towards the Eid gatherings (congregational Prayers and celebrations), the grief of the Imams -asws [2] is renewed like that of an old wound, which is scratched and is never allowed to heal. Surely, this is the case of the Imam -ajfj of our time, who behind a ‘Curtain’ is experiencing the same pain, and cries the tears of blood on the onset of the day and the beginning of the night – a day in and a day out.

Everything that makes Allah -azwj and Ahl Al-Bayt -asws ‘Sad’ naturally also makes us sad, so we seek the Blessings and rewards of Allah -azwj and Ahl Al-Bayt -asws by commemorating the atrocities against the Allah’s Representatives – by holding the gatherings of Aza-o-Matam . However, this is distressing for those twelve-Immami Shias, who would like to emulate the Sunnis Muslims, in holding the Eid Salat gatherings, exchanging gifts, laughing and joking on the day of Eid.

Hence, whatever makes the Imam -asws of our time, grievous, they would do that!! There are thirty (30) obligatory Fasts in the Month of Ramazan, they don’t mind observing 29, there is no Jamat (congregational) Eid Salat without the presence of Just Imam -asws (Divine Imam), they offer Eid Salat behind a ‘mullah’ who is paid to lead Salat. However, Rasool Allah -saww has forbidden taking wages for leading Salat, but they pay their ‘mullah’ and he happily accepts it.

Not only that, they are also pleased with accepting conflicting decisions on religious matters (i.e., moon sighting as well as on halal and haram) but it has become ‘the norm’ for them. They furiously defend all Maraja Taqleed, even with conflicts in their fatawa but the Ahadith of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws are rejected and ignored, whereas the first-ones are the fallible (non-masoon) and latter are the Infallible (Masoom -asws )!

Will all of this not make the Imam -ajfj of our time grievous – for the crimes against the Ahl Al-Bayt -asws in the past and the plundering of the religious Laws by those who claim to be representing him -ajfj ? These happen every single day, hence no tranquillity for the Imam -asws of our time!! May Allah -azwj Protect us from all ‘Fitna’ (strife) mongers’ of our time for the sake of Mohammed -saww and Aly Mohammed -asws , Ameen, Suma Ameen!!

Eid Celebrations or Aza-o-Matam: The Eid of Muslims, in general and those of Shias in particular, never passes without controversies, dividing the community – even within the one family!!
