Question 6: Given that you are a lecturer in the Islamic seminary, I would like to know your idea about how a person can achieve spiritual perfection. How is it possible and what methods one should follow?

Question 17: I was born in one of the villages of Esfahan province but I have been living in Tehran for the past many years. I had made a vow (nazr) that I would slaughter a sheep in front of a mourning procession in my village, if my wish were granted. Praise belongs to Allah, now my wish has been granted but unfortunately, for some reason, I cannot return to my birthplace to carry out the nazr. Can I give the money to a charity organization here on the day of Ashura? Does it relieve me of my duty?

Question 21: I request you humbly to send me a zikr (praise word) or a supplication for me to read so that my wish may be granted.

Question 30: Is it permissible to perform half of ghusl in tartibi (sequential) manner and the other half in an irtimasi manner?
