Questions and Answers about Ziyarate Ashoora by abdullah Aminipour
by Ali on Dec.21, 2009, under Ahlul Bayt, Islamic View
Question 1:
(و لعن الله بنی امیه قاطبه) (And my Allah curse the people of the Omayah) Why do we ask Allah to curse each and every one of the people of the Omayah? What about the people who were of the Omayah but have not sinned done that we ask them to be cursed?
Ans. 1 The cursing of any Muslim or believer no matter how much they sin is unreasonable, only the disbelievers and the people against the truth and the leaders of Islam should be cursed. These are the lessons and morals from the Quran and the Imams have not asked Allah to curse anyone besides the enemies of the truth.
2. This topic has been mentioned many times in the Quran like when Prophet Nooh Asked Allah to save his family from the flood. When his son drowned, Prophet Nooh said “(انّ ابنی مِن اهلی) Surely he is from me” but Allah replied “(انّه لیس مِن اهلک) Surely he is not from your family.”
Another Ayah from the Quran “(و مَن یتولّهم فانّه مِنهم) Anyone who loves the people of the book and recognizes them as the real leaders, for sure he is from them.
According to these Ayahs, Someone is not from their people by birth and physical relations, but instead is related through their beliefs and faith. The people of the Omayah are the followers of Mu’aviyeh and Yazid but whoever follows the Ahlul Bayt then they are from the Bani Hashim even if they are the sons of Mu’aviyeh or Yazid.

here is a story for you to enjoy…
Prophit Ibrahim was raised in Iraq but then Allah told him that he must move to Saudi Arabia. But moving to Saudi Arabia was only a test. When he got to Saudi, Allah told him to make a house. Which was the Kaabe. Then to go on top of a mountain and make a call that all humanity was suppoes to hear. Which was the azan.

…But then Ibrahim told Allah that his voice will not be heard be anyone. Allah just told him to do so, so he did. And sure enough there are thousands of Muslims that are making this same call today.

Wajib Kaafee – something that Allah commands on everyone, at first, then once someone takes the action upon themselves it is not wajib in everyone else
-
Wajib Fawrey – something that Allah commands on you when you meet a certain condition or state, it must also be done that year
