Lesson forty :Mourning is one of the deeds of Age of Ignorance

Imam Bagher( A. S. )says: one of the short speeches of the Prophet) S. A. (, which no one had mentioned before him:

النَّياحَةُ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ

Translation

Mourning is one of the deeds of Age of Ignorance( one shall not complain for the difficulties, rather he shall try for solving them )..

Brief description

This short and meaningful tradition has an outward and inward sense.

Its outward refers to the irrelevant actions being popular at the Age of Ignorance. When somebody died, mourner women were invited to lament on his death by reciting their special songs and deceitful and false poems. And the other meaning, which Imam Bagher( A. S. )may refer to it, is that mourning and complaining for hard and difficult events and problems of personal and social life is vain and useless and causes waste of powers and facilities. One shall solve them and seek for a remedy by the strength of intellect and thinking as well as continuous effort and tolerance.
