Question:If somebody goes with the intention of visiting Imam Hussein (PBUH) for the Arbaeen, but he reaches and visits before the Arbaeen day and comes back home, will he get the rewards of Arbaeen pilgrimage?
Answer:In the name of Allah, there is a great reward for the visitor of the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (as) in all times, but there are some rituals which increase this reward like: walking not by car and in a specific day like: Ashura, the night of Friday and Arbaeen day. These rewards are only attained in visiting with these requirements of time and way. As in the question, the visitor is rewarded for visiting Imam Hussein (PBUH) only. Allah knows best.
Question:Who are "the first, the second and the third" mentioned in cursing?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it must be known that the creator of this pilgrimage text – who is the infallible Imam (PBUH) or Allah the Exalted as it is one of the holy texts as considered by some- wanted to conceal what is meant in "the first, the second and the third." Guessing should be avoided here, where this is normally done by the rhetoricians. Allah has done this in His Holy Book, where He concealed many things to people and made them known only to Him and the people who are rooted in knowledge. For the non-Imamate sects, such knowledge is only known to Him. Since this is the aim, guessing is futile; rather, it may refer that there is something which the creator of the text has not said. This is what is to be said here although some people may be able to conclude the meaning through the context of pilgrimage text itself, the supplication annexed to it which is "Alqama Supplication" or contemplation in the Quran of the narrations and traditions which could refer to the meaning of the first, the second and the third. However, this cannot be taken for granted. Allah is the Guide and Knowing.
Question:Which phrase is correct in Ashura pilgrimage Text: "May Allah curse the gang which struggled against Hussain" or "May Allah curse the gang which fought Hussain"?
Answer:In the name of Allah, you must commit to the text which is found in the book Mafatihul Jinan. Allah is the Guide and Knowing.
Question:As per the ziarat traditions, through visiting which can we get more and bigger reward?
Answer:In the name of Allah, we think that visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) is better than visiting any other infallible. However, this does not mean that we should stop visiting the other infallibles (PBUH), because visiting each one has a special effect and special rank in Paradise. Yet, if it is to choose between visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) and any other infallible, it is better to visit Imam Hussain (PBUH). Allah is the All Guide and Knowing.
Question:One of the assured highly recommended ziarat is that of visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) on the night of mid Ramadhan. Which visiting text should one recite?
Answer:In the name of Allah, one can recite any of the grand visiting texts, especially Warith visiting text and its related texts. Allah is the All Guide.
Question:Who is the scholar who says of the obligation of Arbaeen Ziarat at least once in a lifetime?
Answer:In the name of Allah, several scholars say so, the most notable of whom is Jaafar Ibn Muhammad Ibn Qawlawaih in the book of Kamil Al-Ziarat. Allah knows best.
Question:The love and passion of some believers for the progeny of Muhammad (PBUH&HF) leads them to recite Arbaeen pilgrimage text repeatedly for the sake of multiplying the reward. What is the religious opinion for that?
Answer:In the name of Allah, visiting imam Hussain (PBUH) on the 20th of Safar through the known holy Arbaeen pilgrimage text is highly recommended and there is no problem in repeating it on that day which is known as Arbaeen Day. Allah knows best.
Question:When reciting the pilgrimage text of righteous servant of Allah like Imam Abbas, at the end it is written (then pray two raka’ats of ziarat). Here, shall the intention be ziarat prayer or to Allah and then offer the reward of this prayer to this righteous servant of Allah?
Answer:In the name of Allah, my son, the ziarat prayer is to pray seeking closeness to Allah then offer its reward for whom you intended. Moreover, be advised, my son, our master Abbas (PBUH) was a servant to the Imam (PBUH) and was not an Imam. Allah knows best.
Question:Is the hadeeth correct that says “whoever comes to the grave of Imam Hussain walking will get a thousand reward for every step?
Answer:In the name of Allah, there is more than this in the reference books. Consult the book of Kamil Al-Ziarat (the entire pilgrimage texts book). Allah is the all Guide.
Question:We are servants in a Husseini procession (Mawkib). We want from your highness an instructive speech to be a beacon enlightening our way in serving the visitors of the master of martyrs (PBUH) and of other shrines. We ask Allah to grant all people the blessings of serving in the Husseini processions.
Answer:In the name of Allah, you work should be seeking closeness to Allah, the Exalted and you have to show respect to visitors of the holy shrines as much as possible. You also have to commit to prayers and perform them in their due times and if possible to perform them as gathering prayers. This would be far better. You have to endure whatever issued by the visitors because they have been travelling from distance which is tiring. It is obligatory that man do not mix with woman so that their deeds will not go in vain, as this is not permissible. We ask Allah to accept you deeds and grant you success for more service. He is the All-Hearer and the Supreme-Answerer.
