5	528	Superstitions and other impediments There is a person in Pakistan named Muhammad Qasim who has divine dreams since childhood. He has seen the Prophet hundreds of times in his dreams and heard the voice of Allah. He does not claim to be a special person and only tells others about his dreams by order of Allah and the Prophet. He has made many prophecies, predicted many future events, and has fans in Pakistan. What do you think about this person?	2022-11-01

1	28	Superstitions and other impediments I have some questions about what Shias do in mourning for Imam Husain and the rest of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). I read the sayings of Allamah Khorasani about this matter, but I did not find the answers in them. The questions are as follows: 1. Is Ziyarat Ashura authentic? Is it permissible to attribute it to the Ahl al-Bayt? Some people believe that it is a Divine Hadith. 2. What is the ruling on tatbir (i.e., self-striking by dagger)? Some of their scholars believe that it is permissible. 3. Some Shias cover their bodies with mud in mourning gatherings. Is it permissible? 4. What is the ruling on walking in mourning processions? It is very common in Iran. 5. They say that it is obligatory to recite epic poems about Imam Husain (peace be upon him) and make noise and commotion on the day of Ashura to oppose the actions of the Umayyads. How true is this statement? 6. Allamah Mansoor believes that Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) is alive at present. Does he participate in mourning gatherings, as many Shia scholars claim?	2015-10-19
