Respecting to tombs of departed persons, especially superiors, has a very long history. From thousands of years ago, people of the world were greaten departed persons and respect to their tombs, especially their superiors, which philosophy and good results of this acts are many.

The First benefit of greatening departed persons is keeping their reverence and appreciating these dear ones, and it is one of symbols of honor and gentility of mankind, and encourages young persons to follow their way.

The Second result is learning advised lessons from quiet but talking tombs of them, and purging the rust of ignorance from human heart and awakening and warning against doping glamour of the world, and reducing the dominance of whim whams, and according to Amir Almu’mineen (Imam of believers) Ali (a.s.) departed persons are the best preachers.

The Third result is solacing the remainents, because people feel more calmness beside tombs of their dear ones. It seems that they are beside themselves and these pilgrimages reduce their chagrins, according to this people make tomblike for those whose bodies are not found and remember them at their tomblike monuments.

The Forth is that greatening tombs of departed superiors is one of the methods to protect cultural heritage of nations, and nations are alive by their ancient cultures. Muslims of the world have a great and rich culture which an important part of it is hidden inside the tombs and monuments of martyrs, great scholars and pioneers of knowledge and culture and especially in the place of martyrdom of great religious leaders.

Saving and remembering and greatening them are reasons for saving Islam and tradition of holy Prophet (s.a.).

How tactless are those who ruined glorious impressions of superiors of Islam in Mecca and Medina and some other places and damaged Islam society hardly. Unfortunately, ignorant and retarded Salafies hit heavy strikes in this way to the body of cultural heritage of Islam because of vagarious excuses which can not be recovered.

Are these historical and great impressions belongs to just this few group that they ruin them relentlessly or saving and defending them should be done by a group of wise scholars of Islam from all countries?

The Fifth effects is that pilgrimage of tombs of great religious leaders, and asking for their intercession in the presence of Allah which is combined with penance has extra effective result in training people and nurturing ethics and belief and lots of sinful persons repent at their divine court of them and do it now, and correct themselves forever, and also righteous and pure people gain ranks above their purity.
