SECLUSION—TARKE LAZAEZ WA CHILLA KASHI
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) narrates from the Prophet of Allah (a.s),
This is a firm and decisive Faith! Scale its heights, but calmly! Don’t put
excessive weight of prayer on your bodies! Don’t be like a rider who tires
his animal by travelling more than it possibly can! It may fail to reach
you to your destination! Satan has misguided some of our people and
made them abstain from meat and other delicacies. Such abstention is
against the Jurisprudence (Shariah). People have started calling such abstention tasawwuf or mysticism. They abstain from food and sit in a cave
for forty days in thought of their Pir (the master). Since their physical and
mental capabilities become dull due to abstention from food, they start
getting hallucinations. They keep strengthening the thought of the master in their minds and this hallucination gets better of their rational
thoughts. When they emerge from their seclusion (Chilla kashi) and show
their condition to the Pir, he says that the previous night he had been to
the Firmament five times and they don’t feel any need for confirmation.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said, A person who offers prayers every
morning with a pure heart, Allah will give him access to knowledge and
wisdom!
Every transgressor (Bidati) and the person who spreads canards about the
Prophet (a.s) and his Holy Progeny (a.s) will be accursed. Every action of a
person should be in the way of Allah. If a person, unwittingly, perpetuates an innovation (bidat) with the conviction that he has done it in the
way of Allah, he will be a transgressor (Aasi). Allah dislikes such
persons.
Remember that Chilla Kashi is contrary to the dictates of Allah. And is
an innovation. Can it be termed as a prayer if someone practices wrestling for forty days! Definitely not! This Chilla Kashi is contrary to the tradition of the Prophet (a.s) quoted above about offering prayers every
morning for forty days. This act of penance of the persons is a bidat according to the other tradition quoted.
After knowing the norms of sincerity of prayer, one will understand
the futility and difficulty of the forty days’ Chilla, which, in fact, is a
sheer waste and ignorant activity. One should apply his mind to differentiate between a scholar who perpetuates knowledge and learning
about Allah and the other who sinks his followers in the abyss of ignorance. Sufian Suri and Ibad Basri were persons who kept objecting to the
Infallible Imams (a.s) and creating doubts in the faith of the people.

THE NINTH RAY OF LIGHT: ABOUT PROHIBITION
OF MUSIC
On Ghina or song the opinion of all the Shia jurists is united that it is
haram because the singer is termed a person destined for the Hell. Therefore Ghina is considered a major sin in Shia Islam.
Ghina is Haram in all the schools of Sunni jurisprudence too. The only
exception is that of their Sufi cult.
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says that the house in which songs are heard
will be the abode of misfortunes, the prayers made from there will not be
answered and angels will not descend in that place. The household will
be denied the Blessings of Allah.
234SONG & MUSIC
Riyan bin al Salat inquired from Imam Ali Reza (a.s), “O Imam (a.s)!
Hisham bin Ibrahim says that you have given permission to listen to
music?”
The Imam (a.s) replied, It is a falsehood! When he asked me, I told him
that someone asked Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) about music. The
Imam (a.s) replied,’ If Rgiht and wrong are separated, on which side will
be song and music?’ The man said, ‘On the side of wrong!’ The Imam
(a.s) affirmed, ’You are right!’
