Al-Sayyid al-Hakeem Passes Away

Al-Sayyid al-Hakeem Passes Away
2021/09/03

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and to Him do we indeed return.

His Eminence, Grand Ayatullah al-Sayyid Muhammad Sa’eed al-Tabataba’i al-Hakeem, has passed away to and returned to his Lord, the Most High. We pay our condolences to the nation of Islam, especially to the followers of the Ahlulbait (Peace be upon them) and the Islamic seminaries (Hawzas).

 We pray to Allah Almighty to bestow upon him His extensive and abundant mercy and blessings, and to raise him with the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahlulbait (peace be upon him).

There is no power or strength, except that of Allah, the Most High, the Most Mighty.

 

The Office of His Eminence al-Sayyid al-Hakeem, 25 Muharram 1443 (3 September, 2021)

Day Questions

Some people believe that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) divides and delivers livelihood. Is such a belief permissible in our faith?

There is no doubt that the presence of the Imam (peace be upon him) has its blessings and great effects on the welfare of mankind other than his role as the guide of people. Many narrations indicate such existence of blessings, like what is reported in some phrases of the Ziyarat al-Jami’ah.

We believe in the fourteen infallibles, but we also know that bibi fatima in qom is called Masooma. Is every member in the Ahlulbait is masoom, like Abbas ibn Ali and bibi Zainab?

The fourteen infallibles are proven to be infallible by a concrete evidence. Some of the children of the imams might have reached a high level of closeness to almighty Allah in such a level that is close to the infallibility.

Is it recommended to look towards the stone of a ring during Qunoot?

It is not proven that doing so is recommended.
