The Importance and Excellence of Lady Masouma Pilgrimage

Introduction


Enthusiasm and strong desire for visiting a friend, or the same pilgrimage, is among the most important signs of affection and fondness. Since pilgrimage is an innate and perfectionist affair, the more you grow fond of it, the more eager you are to visit a friend. This fondness of visiting goes one as he/she passes away and thereafter it turns to his/her works specially his/her resting place or shrine. Thus in Islam visiting such places has been seriously taken into consideration. A shining example of that is the manner of the holy prophet (P.B.U.H. & H.F.) who used to visit the resting places of Muslims. Abu Harire says: “The Prophet (P.B.U.H. & H.F.) used to visit his mother’s resting place and wept for her and caused others to weep and said: I have taken permission from Allah for visiting her. Likewise, he visited the resting place of the martyrs of Ohod at the beginning of each year and recited this phrase: Peace be upon you for what you have tolerated, what a great place is the afterlife for you.”
Our infallible Imams (P.B.U.T.) specially Lady Zahra (P.B.U.H.) and their followers were in the tradition of this great manner and afterwards it is carried on by religious authorities until now. Despite the deceitfulness of some people, visiting resting places of Muslims or shrines is not a newly established manner by Shiites. It is nothing but the manner and tradition of the holy Prophet (P.B.U.H. & H.F.).
