Oh well once is ok. Now I wish I had gone over to the building while I was there....So many things I could have done and seen.. Oh well he is promising to send me next year so I need to make some plans.

Many people believe that visiting the graves of 'holy' men is a good thing and will offer various remedies to the difficulties in their lives, be it health, wealth, or whatever. Of course , Islamically that is considered 'haram' but there are people that are in desparate situation who are willing to try anything, or they are just plain ignorrant.<BR/><BR/>Sidi Andulsi is also a gathering place for events called hadarah.(which is probably what you heard). People go there, sing and chant spiritual songs and phrases, working themselves into a frenzy. Kind of like whirling derveshes. It's quite interesting to watch. I was at Sidi Andulsi once when a group of people arrived by buses and cars. They all got out playing drums and chanting all the way to the top. Inside was a room where they began their hadara. I was able to watch with my children and other women from the windows. It was weird and strange. I had never seen anything like it in my life. They were speaking to the spirits and jinn. After a while we left them and went home. I don't know how long they stayed there. <BR/><BR/>At certain times of the year there are festivals held at Sidi Andulsi.KhadijaTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279047119702679252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1161056061565448592006-10-16T23:34:00.000-04:002006-10-16T23:34:00.000-04:00Khadijah my husband argues that you dont pray ther...Khadijah my husband argues that you dont pray there it is just for community gathering.
