Master of the martyrs Imam Husain (peace be with him):

Surely, the most generous is he who gives to someone from whom he has no hope of return,

and certainly the most forgiving is he who forgives when he is at the climax of power,

and definitely the eminent is he who establishes a relationship with the one who (has) severed it.

Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Husain Fadhlollah:

The movement of Imam Husain (peace be with him) was reformative and he did not leave Mecca just to be martyred, knowing that he was ready for this fate had it been imposed on him, eventually, for the sake of making the aspired change.

Meeting of the grand Ayatollah Boroujerdi with a great Eastern Philosopher and his visit of Ahlulbayt.

Late Sheikh Muhammad Sharif Rāzi has mentioned in his book “The Treasure of Scholars”:

💢 In the month of Dhi-Hajjah in 1368 hijri, I was at the house of the late Ayatollah Hojjat (RA), and the late Mirza Mahdi Āshtiyani was there.

💢 Ayatollah Borujerdi and Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Taghi Khwansāri came to see him.

💢 After the formalities and compliments, Ayatullah Hojjat said to Ayatollah Boroujerdi: Agha Mirza Mehdi Ashtiani have a beautiful Mokashefah (unveiling into the unseen) and it is appropriate if he himself narrates it.

💢 Agha Mīrza Āshtiyāni said: "I am having jaundice, and so I have been traveling abroad for treatment, but I have not been cured," he said. In 1365 (AH), when the Marxists had dominated the north and west of Iran, I visited Mashhad for pilgrimage.

💢 During the bus (ride there) I suddenly so sick that the passengers and the driver thought I had a stroke. They stopped the bus and took me out for help.

💢 Then I saw (found myself) that I was in Arafāt, and many heavenly lights were coming to the ground. And I saw that the people were attracted to one side.

💢 I asked: what's going on ? They said: Hazrat Rasoul (prophet Mohammad peace be with him and his progeny) has just arrived.

💢 I went to that side and saw few tents next to each other. The big tent belonged to the Prophet (peace be with him and his progeny). I passed over to the tent and visited the Prophet. I wanted to say about my sickness and my other anxieties and needs, but he (Prophet) said: "since you are pilgrimage of my son Reza (peace be with him), go to the tent that belongs to him” to see him.

💢 Then I went to the tent of Hazrat Imām Reza, and I mentioned three of my needs.

🔸 The first about my sickness, he said: It is destined to stay with you until you die.

🔸 Second: about the trial and corruptions of Marxists, He said: "Soon their evils will pass by. And you are all safe until you connect with (our) shrines and mourn in Majaalis of us Ahlulbayt with true recognition of us.

🔸And the third was about my personal issue. Regarding that he said: This will be done also.

The reply of Master of Believers, Imam Ali (peace be with him) to the opponents of distributing public treasury

When they shouted and complained to Imam Ali (peace be with him) as to why he distributes public treasury to the (general mass) people first, and doesn't give more to those who had a role in (the rise of) Islam and have prestige and reputation. He (peace be with him replied):

"Do you command me to trample and oppress the rights of the rest of the people under my government and be victorious regarding it?

I swear by God as long as the night and the day are there, and the stars rise and set, I will never do such a thing.

If this wealth was mine, I would distribute it all equally, while for surely this wealth at the end is the wealth of God.

Allah addressed to holy Prophet Mohammad: Oh Ahmad, don't be like a child who when his eyes fall on a green or yellow thing, he is attracted by it (loves it), and when he is given something sweet or sour, he is fooled by it."_

فی حديث قدسي.
قال الله تبارك و تعالى: يا احمد فاحذر ان تكون مثل الصبي اذا نظر الى الاخضر و الاصفر اَحبّه و اذا اُعطيَ شياء من الحُلوِ و الحامض اِغترّ به.


حديث قدسي.
پروردگار عالم نے رسول خدا سے فرمایا: اے احمد اس بچے کے مانند بن نے پرھیز کرو کہ جب اسے کچھ ہرا یا پیلا نظر آتا ھے تو اس کی طرف کہنچ جاتا ہے یا جب اسےکوئی میٹھی یا کھٹی چیز دی جاتی ھے تو اسانی سے دہوکہا کہا جاتا ہے۔ (یعنی لالچی بچوں کی صفات تم نیں نھیں ہونی چاھیے)

در حديث قدسي
خداي متعال خطاب به پيامبر فرمود: اي احمد مانند بچه اي نباش كه با ديدن سبز يا زرد عاشقش مي شود و يا با بدست آوردن ترش و شيرين گول مي خورد.

Safwān Jammal Kufi was a very pious companion of Imām Ja’far Sadiq (peace be with him) and Imām Mūsa Kāzim (peace be with him). He used to earn his livelihood by hiring out camels. He owned a large number of camels.

He says that one day Imām Kāzim (peace be with him) said to him, "Safwan every action of yours is meritorious except one."

"May I be sacrificed for you, what action is that?"
Imām said, "You hire your camels to Harun-ar Rashīd.”

He said, "I dont give my camels for gathering wealth, hunting or games or any luxuries, rather he takes them for Makkah (when he goes for Hajj) and I do not serve him myself, I order my servants to accompany them on the journey."

Imām asked, "Do you expect rent after their return?"

I said: "Yes after their return".

He replied, "Don’t you carry the hope that they return safe and sound from their journey so that you receive your payment?"

"Yes."

Imām (peace be with him) said, "One who wishes for them to remain alive is like them and one who is connected with them will go to Hell.”

Safwan says,”I came back and then I sold away all my camels. When Harun heard of this he summoned me and asked the reason for it, saying I heard you sold out your camels, why? I replied, “I have become old and weak and I am unable to take care of the camels, even my servants are not capable of maintaining it properly."

Harun said, "Never, never It is not so! I know who has persuaded you to do this. You have done this on the direction of Musa son of Ja’far.”

What do I have to do with Musa son of Jafar?" said Safwan.

But Harun was not satisfied and said to leave these words, for had it not been for their good relations he would have killed me.


صفوان بن مهران کے پاس بہت سارے اونٹ تھے اور وہ انہیں کرایہ پر دینے کی تجارت کرتے تھے اور اس طرح اپنی زندگی بسر کرتے تھے۔ (عربی میں اونٹ کو جَمَل کہتے ہیں) تو اسی لیے صفوان کو صفوان جمّال کہتے ہیں۔

صفوان کہتے ہیں ایک بار میں امام کاظم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوا تو
حضرت نے فرمایا: صفوان تمہارا ہر کام اچھا ہے سواے ایک کام کے! صفوان نے پوچھا: میں آپ قربان جائوں وہ کیا ہے؟
امام نے فرمایا: کیا تم اپنے اونٹوں کو، اس آدمی کو (ہارون رشید عباسی کی طرف اشارہ کرتے ہوئے فرمایا) کرایہ پر دیتے ہو؟
صفوان نے عرض کیا: خدا کی قسم حرص و ہوس اور عیاشی کی خاطر یا دولت جمع کرنے کے لیے یہ کام نہیں کرتا ہوں، بلکہ جب وہ (ہارون) حج کے لیے جاتا ہے تب میں اسے اونٹ کرایہ پر دیتا ہوں۔ اور میں خود ساتھ نہیں جاتا بلکہ اپنے غلاموں کو کاروان کے ساتھ بہیجتا ہوں۔

امام فرماتے ہیں: کیا تمہیں اُس سے کرایہ لیتے ہو؟
جواب دیا: آپ کا یہ غلام آپ پر فدا ہو، جی ہاں۔
امام فرماتے ہیں: تو تمہاری تمنا ہے کہ وہ لوگ زندہ رہیں اور واپسی پر تمہیں کرایہ ملے؟
جواب دیا: جی ہاں۔
امام فرماتے ہیں: جو اُن لوگوں کے جینے کی آرزو رکھتا ہے وہ بھی اُنہی میں سے ہے۔ اور جو اُن میں سے ہے وہ جہنم میں جانے والا ہے۔
صفوان کہتے ہیں: میں واپس آیا اور سارے اونٹ بیچ دیے اور جب یہ خبر ہارون کو پہنچی تو اس نے مجھے بُلوایا اور سوال کیا؛ مجھے خبر ملی ہے تم نے اپنے سارے اونٹ بیچ دیے، کیوں کیا تم نے یہ کام؟
میں نے جواب دیا: ہاں سارے اونٹ بیچ دیے کیوں کہ میں بوڑہا ہو گیا ہوں (اب کام کی ہمت نہیں ہوتی) اور میرے غلام بھی صحیح طرح سے کام نہیں کر پاتے۔
ہارون کو بہت غصہ آیا اور کہا: ہرگز ہرگز ایسا نہیں ہے تم نے موسی بن جعفر کے اشارہ پر یہ کام کیا ہے۔
میں نے کہا: موسی بن جعفر سے میرا کیا لینا دینا ہے۔

ہارون کہتا ہے: رہنے دو ان باتوں کو، واللہ اگر تمہاری میرے ساتھ دوستی نہ ہوتی تو تمہیں قتل کر دیتا۔

💠 What is the Difference between Fatima Zahra and other women?

📍Answer by Ayatollah Fadlallah

💠 The difference is that Fatimah (peace be with her) possessed a degree of spiritual depth in her personality that made her a manifestation of the message. Most women with a mission have a commitment to the message which comes from outside of themselves. By contrast, for Fatimah (peace be with her) it came from inside her mind and heart and soul, because she lived the whole of her life with the message and under the wing of the Messenger of Allah (peace be with him and his Progeny), and then opened herself up to the full vigor of the message in the House of Ali (peace be with him), and moved dynamically in the emotion of the message with Hasan and Husain (peace be with them). Therefore, she lived the message. This is the difference between depth and shallowness. You cannot find anything in her personal life that speaks of leisure of purposelessness. This is what makes her a role model - the ultimate role model.

سوال: حضرت فاطمہ زھرا (سلام اللہ عليہا) اور دوسري عام خواتين ميں کيا فرق ہے؟

جواب: حضرت زھرؑا اور دوسري خواتين ميں يہ فرق ہے کہ وہ اپني شخصيت ميں ايک خاص روحاني اور معنوي گہرائي کي حامل تھيں، جس نے انہيں رسالت کا مظہر بنايا۔ بہت سي خواتين جو کسي مقصد کي راہ ميں کوشاں ہيں، ان کا اس مقصد سے عزم اور وابستگي ايسي ہے جو ان کي ذات کے اندر سے ظاہر نہيں ہوتي بلکہ بيروني عوامل کا نتيجہ ہيں ۔ اس کے برعکس حضرت فاطمہ زھرا عليہالسلام کے ليے يہ عزم ان کے ذھن، اور روح و قلب کے اندر سے آيا کيونکہ انہوں نے اپني تمام تر زندگي رسالت اور رسول اللہﷺ کے سائے ميں بسر کي، اور پھر اميرالمومنينؑ کے گھر ميں اپنے آپ کو اس پيغام کي تبليغ کے لئے پوري قوت کے ساتھ پيش کيا، اور اپنے بيٹوں امام حسنؑ اور امام حسينؑ کے ہمراہ ترويج رسالت کي راہ ميں جوش و ولولہ کے ساتھ متحرک رہيں۔ لہذا، حضرت زھرؑا نے اپني ذات کو رسالت ميں ضم کرکے، اس کے پيغام کو زندہ رکھا اور اس پر عمل کرکے دکھايا۔ کسي مقصد کي راہ ميں سطحي پن يا گہرائي کے ساتھ کوشش اور جدوجہد کرنے ميں يہي فرق ہے۔ کوئي شخص بھي حضرت فاطمہ زھرا سلام اللہ عليہا کي ذاتي زندگي ميں کسي بے معني فرصت اور تفریح کو تلاش نہيں کر سکتا۔ يہي چيز آپ کو ايک نمونہٴ عمل بناتي ہے- ايک حتمي اور بہترين نمونہٴ عمل!
