I’m sorry to be off-topic here but what spiritual and physical wonders visiting a dead person’s grave is going to do you? One should visit the graveyards anyway, for they are a good reminder of the temporary nature of this life. And yeah, one should definitely pray for the departed souls to rest in peace. Thats about it. As for spiritual and physical benefits, one could ask the almighty directly. He is quite accessible if I am not mistaken. It is not a sarkari daftar where you need to make contacts with the clerk badshah first.

True, we can ask directly from Allah (swt), but there are certain sins the slave commits which more than often prevent his dua from being answered or at least lowers the chance of it being answered, therefore Allah (swt) Himself tells us to take His representatives as a door to Him.

We have a hadith on this ayah: “By no means! But on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do.” which says that when one sins, a black spot emerges within their heart. When you sin more, it becomes blacker (ghetto heart). Once it is completely ghetto, it will not become white again.

When you perform sins, you ruin the relationship between yourself and Allah (swt), or at least you cannot rightfully call yourself an obedient slave of Allah (swt), so when you are like that, you cannot expect Allah (swt) to give you what you want when He has a reason not to give it to you.. Therefore you are in need of someone who is accepted by Allah (swt), so He can give you what you need by the respect and honor that particular holy person has with Allah (swt).

If I ask my mom for Call of Duty: Black Ops, she will say no because it’s going to be like 70 bucks. If I ask my Dad to ask my Mom to buy me it, she will be more likely to say yes.

I’m not talking about all those Pir Baba dargahs, but I am referring to those who Allah (swt) loves dearly, the Ahl-al-Bayt (as).

Code_Red, there’s not much. She learned a lot from her father and brother, both Imams. She was travelling to Khurassan to meet Imam Ali Raza (as) and died on the way in Qum, along with her other brothers. They were attacked. I think we have some ahadith in Uyun Akhbar al-Raza which is a compilation of ahadith narrated from Imam Raza (as) where he says one who visits her haram in Qum will attain jannah.

Edit: When one loves such a person so much, you can just tremble in front of their grave. Rasoolallah (saw) says that in the heart of the believer, there is a fire for the love of Imam Hussain (as) which can never be extinguished. There can be an amazing, spiritual feeling..
