+===Effort for Correction of the Mourning Rituals for Imam al-Husayn (a)===
+Al-Sayyid Musin al-Amin was among the pioneers of correcting Shi'a thoughts in contemporary ages. After returning from [[Jabal 'Amil]], he realized that many wrong superstitions spread among the narration of the history of [['Ashura]] and the mourning sessions; so, he tried to correct them. Doing this, he wrote some books to replace common books of [[Maqtal]], which he believed that they were full of lies and deviations.
+# ''[[Lawa'j al-ashjan fi maqtal al-Imam al-Husayn]]'' (1911)
+# ''Asdaq al-akhbar fi qissat al-akhdh bi l-thar'' about [[Tawwabin]] (1912)
+# ''Al-Durr al-nadid fi marathi al-sibt al-shahid''; contained poems for mourning for Imam al-Husayn (a). Later the three books were published in one volume by al-Irfan publication, about which al-'Irfan magazine mentioned that no Shi'a would be needless of that.
+# ''Al-Majalis al-sunniyya fi masa'ib wa manaqib al-'itrat al-Nabawiyya'' in five volumes. In the introduction of the first volume, he mentioned the authenticity and legitimacy of mourning. However, at the same place, in "Muqaddama muhimma", he mentioned [[hadith]]s forged by [[rawda]] reciters and chest-beating and Qameh-zani and considered them against religion and forbidden.
+# ''Iqamat al-la'im 'ala iqamat al-matam''
+''Al-Majalis al-sunniyya'' was written to be recited in mourning gatherings for Imam al-Husayn (a) instead of wrong and altered Maqtals. Hearing and receiving wrong reports was the motive of the author to write this book. This corrective movement did not stop there and he prohibited [[Ta'ziya]] and [[Shabih-khani]] which he basically was against. He openly considered any action other than the five mentioned actions wrong and prohibited them. Apparently in 1924, a fight took place in a Shabih-khani ceremony and two persons were killed. Al-Amin used this opportunity and prohibited Shabih-khani and other actions such as hitting oneself and also asked governmental officials to stop them.
+After his ruling for prohibition of Shabih-khani, it was stopped in [[Damascus]] as long as he was alive. Shortly later, one of the magazines in Beirut gave an analysis of the views of al-Amin and helped their promotion.
+At the same time, some articles were published against Qame-zani which were written by Sayyid Mahdi Musawi Qazwini. These articles were received many reactions and raised a great challenge. Some articles were written against Amin and Qazwini. At that time, Amin was in Shaqra', his own village in Lebanon and attacks against him increased especially in Jabal Amil. According to Ja'far al-Khalili, 'Abd al-Husayn Sadiq in Nabatieh and [['Abd al-Husayn Sharaf al-Din]] in Tyre opposed him.
+Al-Amin wrote ''[[al-Tanzih li- a'mal al-shabih]]'' as an answer to criticisms.
