Grand Ayatollah Shirazi: According to Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him), Shia Rejoice in Joy of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and Grieve in Their Sorrow
\n——————————–
\nThe daily scholarly session of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq Husayni Shirazi was held on Thursday, 11th Rabi\u2018 al-Awwal 1447 AH. As in previous gatherings, His Eminence responded to various jurisprudential questions raised by participants.<\/p>\n
Explaining the meaning of sha\u2018a\u2019ir Allah (Divine Signs), Grand Ayatollah Shirazi stated:
\n\u201cSha\u2018a\u2019ir Allah are anything that embodies reverence for the Infallibles (peace be upon them).\u201d<\/p>\n
He elaborated that practices such as offering food, holding mourning gatherings, celebrating joyous occasions, decorating, and any other action that society recognizes as honoring the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) are considered among the Divine Signs\u2014so long as they do not involve prohibited acts.<\/p>\n
Providing further clarification, His Eminence emphasized that if such actions are not haram and are regarded by people as expressions of reverence for the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), they fall under the meaning of Imam al-Sadiq\u2019s (peace be upon them) narration:
\n\u201cOur Shia are created from the essential nature (Teenat) of our clay; they grieve at our sorrow and rejoice in our joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Supreme Marja noted that, based on this narration, the emotions and practices of the Shia in harmony with the occasions of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) themselves constitute manifestations of Divine Signs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
