72_ THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MOURNING CEREMONIES70_ THE PROSTRATION UPON THE EARTH

WE BELIEVE that pilgrimages for visiting the tombs of the Apostles and Imams, as well as the scholars and the martyrs, is a definite religious precept which has to be observed, although not a must.

In many books of the SONNI Scholars, same as those written by SHIITES, many a traditin is narrated from the prophet that he has recommended the precept or pilgrimage. To collect all such traditions will make a voluminous book. Throughout the history of Islam, our great scholars, and all groups of Muslims have done that with much care, and books are written about the adventures of their pilgrimages.

It is evident that no one takes his visiting a tomb for worship, which belongs only to God. The purpose of visiting the tomb of a great man is to respect him and to pay regards, and meanwhile seeking their intercession.

It is also narrated that even the prophet himself often went to visit the CEMETERY OF BAGHEEA and saluted the deads in their graves. Therefore no one should doubt the lawfulness of such pilgrimages in Islam.
