To observe the rites of religion is a fruit of one, s internal piety according to the very text of Quran, as the unity of the Muslim through their grasping at the Divine Thread (Habl-i-Allah) is the strict decree of God. As a result, to establish a proximity and unity amongst the Muslim denominations is one of the most important rites today. While the Muslim proximity is embodied in some rites such as praying, fasting and the Hadj pilgrimage, there are unfortunately some other marginal ones contradicting it; namely fasting on the tenth day of Muharram as a symbol of festivity, not observing Jama,a (Group) praying in case of its being led by a Shiite Imam, emphasizing the legitimacy of Yazeed, s Caliphate and accusing Imam Hussain (S.A) of heresy by the Sunnite, and calling down curses upon the first three Caliphs of the Prophet, holding festivals on the ninth day of Rabi-ul-Avval to celebrate the murder of the Second Caliph by the Shiite. The question raised here is whether observing the rites is in contradiction with the proximity of Muslim denominations. To answer the question one should scrutinize every rite in terms of rationality, legitimacy, necessity and being of help for the proximity. In addition, taking the importance of the Secondary Decrees (Ahkām-i Thānaviyyah) of Islam and considering the current situation of the Muslim world in which lots of the people are being slaughtered due to the disintegrative policies of the enemies of Islam, it could be concluded that not only there is no contradiction between observing the legitimate rites and the proximity of Muslim denominations, any effort to achieve the proximity is a form of observing the rites, too.
