us to visit Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.) especially in the place of 'Sardab'.103‐Amongst the houses I pass over the house of Laila I kiss this wall and that wall. Love of thehouse has not captivated my heart but the love of the one who was residing in it has captivatedmy heat. We Shias believe that our Master, Mahdi (AS.) is a living being who receives hissustenance and hears words and answers.Mahdi is the same Imam through whose obedience we should be 'upright' in the divine religion.Mahdi is the one who is the channel between God and us. His 'Ziarat' (visitation) is correct;focusing (our attention) on him is permissible; conversing with him in every place and time and inany language is permissible. In this regard the holy 'Sardab' possesses no special specificationsexcept what we have mentioned before. Similarly, the Ziarats (visitations) which have come arenot possessing any specification even though is preferable.The houses over which tens of years have passed; the place where God has been worshipped; theplace where God has been remembered; the place where prayers have been performed for daysand nights and the place where the sound of recitation of Quran has been raised are worthyenough to be honored and visited and at the time when a pilgrim enters them, he remembers itsdwellers. One of the main reasons as to why such holy houses and especially 'Sardab' (Cellar) arevisited is this that its owners are alive ‐ the owners who cannot reside in them and have in factdeserted them out of fear of enemies. Besides, we are in need of Mahdi (AS.) and are deprived ofhis favors.Visitation of these houses with such reminiscences will naturally move a pilgrim's heart whohappens to be a Shia. How often a pilgrim weeps, sends out a shriek, implores involuntarily andrequests God to hasten the emergence of Hazrat. Verily, factors of intimacy and heartly ‐ relationgreatly influence a man's nature.Philosophy and reason Behind OccultationDiscussion on Occultation is a vast topic and traditions in this regard are many. What is necessaryfor us to know is the following: Is there anyone to ask about the philosophy behind Occultationand is there anyone who can say: Since I do not know the reason behind Occultation, I do notbelieve as you do in the existence of Mahdi and I further say: if as per what you say, Mahdi is theImam, then it is necessary for him to appear amongst the people and walk in the market‐places!Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com
