Another point about heyats (religious gatherings that hold mourning ceremonies for the Prophet of Islam and his Progeny (pbut)] is that they are institutions that enjoy both meaning and movement. They are not only places for thinking, spirituality, studying and teaching. Movement and dynamism exist in the heyats as well. In the heyats, the school of thought is clarified. When I say that "it is clarified," I mean that it should be clarified. This is the nature of heyats. These are places for tabeen or clarification and expressing the most important teachings of Islam. These are places for answering questions. Today, our youth have various questions regarding lifestyle and other fundamental issues, and their questions are legitimate. The way to deal with questions is to think and answer them. The important centers for such endeavors are heyats. It is in heyats that the numerous questions that arise every day should be answered.
