Your father and I are getting old and are getting ready for our final journey.

Rather than giving us a few £s/$s worth of presents, ponder over the following words:

The day that you see us old, have patience and try to understand us,

If we get dirty when eating…..if we cannot dress…..have patience.

Remember the hours we spent teaching it to you.
If, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things a thousand and one times…..do not interrupt us…..listen to us.

When you were small, we had to read to you a thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep……

When we do not want to come out with you, neither shame us, nor scold us….

Remember when we had to chase you with a thousand excuses we invented, so that you could come with us……..

When you see our ignorance on new technologies, give us the necessary time and do not look at us with your mocking smile.

We taught you how to do so many things…..to eat good, to dress well……to confront life…….without mocking you.

When at some moment we lose our memory or the thread of our conversation, let us have the necessary time to remember,

and if we cannot do it, do not become nervous……

as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to us…….

When our tired legs do not allow us to walk, give us your hand…….

the same way we did when you made your first steps.

And when someday we become moody, and say a few nasty things……do not get angry…….some day you will understand…..

Try to understand that our age is not lived but survived.

Some day you will discover that, despite our mistakes,

We always wanted the best thing for you and that we tried to prepare the way for you……

You must not feel sad, angry or impotent at seeing us near you. We want you to be next to us…

So, try to understand us and help us as we did with you when you started your life.

Help us to walk……help us to end our way with love and patience.

We will pay you with a smile and by the immense love we have had always for you.

We love you my child……We have always loved you…..We have loved you more than our life.

From - Your Loving Mum & Dad

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"Every righteous child who casts a look of mercy and affection upon his parents shall be granted, for every look of his, rewards equivalent to that of an accepted Hajj."

Those around the Prophet(peace be upon him) questioned: "O Prophet of Allah! Even if he were to look at them a hundred times a day?"

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: "Indeed! Allah is the Greatest and Most Kind.

Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents.

When one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.

And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say,

"My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood". (Qur’an 17:23-24)

The eldest son was handicapped and could walk only with the help of a crutch. He was just a passive participant in the family business. The middle son was actively involved in the business. He worked very hard with total commitment and had the required business acumen to run the business successfully. The old man always felt happy about the fact that his middle son could successfully take the responsibility of running the family business. The youngest son was a socialite and used to spend most of his time wandering around the town, gossiping and poking his nose in the affairs of other people. He was associated with many social organizations.

The wife of the middle son always used to complain to her husband as to why he should work so hard and share the fruits of his labour with his other brothers. This went on for a while till it became unbearable to the middle son. After resisting for some years, he finally went to his father and announced that he wanted a partition of family business and its assets. The old man, after thinking for a while, conceded but requested the middle son to continue with the family for one more month.

The next day the old man announced that the whole family would go for a pilgrimage for a few days. After travelling for a while, the family camped close to another town to spend the night.

In the morning, the old man gave the middle son Rs. 1000/- to purchase some food for the family from the nearby town. As the middle son was going towards the town, he saw some people resting by a lorry. One of them looked like a businessman. The middle son started chatting with this person. He was told that the lorry was full of bags of rice. While enquiring about price etc., he could sense the opportunity as the price of rice in his hometown was much lower than the price at which the other businessman had purchased rice and there was enough margins left even after providing for transportation. He immediately entered into a deal that ensured a profit of Rs. 1000/-, took this sum as advance, made necessary arrangements and moved on to buy food for his family. He went back with food and handed back the original sum to his father.

The next day, the old man sent the handicapped son with Rs. 1000/- to fetch food for the family. As he was going towards the town, his crutch hit a ditch and he fell down. However, he heard the sound of the crutch hitting a metallic object. While lying on the earth, he started digging further at the ditch with the help of the crutch. After a while he found a metal pot.. He took it out and discovered that the pot was full of gold coins and precious stones. Carrying the pot, he went into the town, purchased food and came back. He handed over the pot to his father.

The family moved on and the next day it was the turn of the youngest brother. He went with Rs. 1000/- to the town near to the camp. When he reached the town, he realized that the town was sharply divided in two factions who were having a conflict for ages. As was his nature, he forgot about the food and started talking to members from both the factions. After a while, he was able to provide a solution that was acceptable to both the parties. The dispute was resolved and the whole town was feeling indebted to the youngest brother. On coming to know that his family was camping outside the town, the whole town went to the camp and invited the family to be their guest for as long as they wanted. It was a proud moment for the whole family.

After a few days, the family returned back and the old man called the middle son who was eager for partition. The old man said, You see, there is no doubt that your commitment and hard work are instrumental to the success of our family business; but you don’t know how much of good luck your handicapped brother is bringing to the family. Moreover, money alone is not enough. With the security that you are able to provide to the family, your younger brother can peacefully get involved in the social work and in turn is able to bring prestige to the family. A family needs all these things. Yet, if you are still inclined, I have no option but to partition the family business.The middle son declined the offer for partition and apologized for his short-sightedness.

Press TV News Analysis Special, with Dr Franklin Lamb, Dr Mohammad Marandi, and Dr William Beeson on the new law that the Whitehouse along with AIPAC seek to pass that will attempt to ban channels perceived by the US Administration as "Anti-US" from broadcasting.

The bill has been brought into play by AIPAC and according to many analysts is considered unimplementable; and also detrimental to freedom of speech in America.

Also; this bill according to many exposes the hypocrisy of the US Administration since it fund and supports a number of channels that spew violent hatred into Iran including actual incitement against Islam and racism towards Arabs. These channels, broadcast out of America are funded heavily by both America and Britain.

Does this expose a true double standard of the US Administration? Does it expose the extent of influence that AIPAC the Zionist Lobby in the US has over the US Administration? Listen to this excellent and informative discussion. Recorded from a live broadcast on Press TV on January 25, 2010 at 1830GMT.

At the same time, the US Administration; is engaged in a row with China where it is attempting to force China to not censor the Internet, with Google at the middle of the entire row:

This exposes a massive double standard and also reveals the influence of the Zionist Lobby AIPAC.

Learn the truth; realise the reality; and take back your rights; lobby your Congressperson, your Senate representative, your Member of Parliament, and remove the stranglehold that the Zionist Lobby has on America and Europe.

Ayatollah Khamenei warned that at a time when sedition prevails, action becomes more difficult and determining the truth becomes harder.

The Leader went on to describe how the enemies of the first Shia Imam, Ali (PBUH) had sowed the seeds of sedition during the seventh century battle of Siffein.

"In those difficult times and unclear conditions, Ammar ibn Yasir, who was one of Imam Ali’s closest, purest and most reliable companions, shed light on the situation for those who were hesitant."

"He explained that there was no difference between those who stood against the Prophet of Islam and the enemies of Imam Ali (PBUH), other than the fact that those who opposed Imam Ali (PBUH) claimed to be the guardians of Islam, the Quran and the Prophet."

Ayatollah Khamenei said since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and throughout the life of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, oppressive powers, backward people with links to the global arrogance, and deviant individuals within the country were all members of the same group.

"That is how it is today. What has been the position of the US, British and Israeli media outlets since before the election? Where do anti-religious fronts such as the communists, pro-monarchy groups and other opponents of the revolution and Imam [Khomeini] stand?" Ayatollah Khamenei asked.

"Do they all not fit in the same group of people who oppose the Islamic establishment? It is clear that the main fronts have not changed. This is an important factor."

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution then praised the Iranian people, particularly the younger generation, for their understanding and religious fervour.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that Iranian youth, who are passionate about their religion, sometimes exercise patience, "as they should", but when the time comes for action they are ready and on the scene.

"It is natural for the young members of the voluntary Basij force to be angry and hurt about how a small group violated the sanctity of Ashura and [insulted] Imam Hussein (PBUH)," said the Leader. "This insult broke everyone’s heart, but we must all be careful not to fuel the enemy sedition by going to far."

The Leader made the remarks in reference to the riots on Ashura during which protesters damaged public property and clashed with security forces.

In response to the unrest, millions of Iranians took to the streets on December 30, condemning the desecration of the Ashura mourning ceremonies and expressing their anger toward the foreign-backed plot to provoke unrest in the country.

The Leader laid praise on the move and said no government in the world can call forth such an "enormous, national mobilization" in two days and bring tens of millions of people to the streets.

Ayatollah Khamenei warned that the enemy was drawing up an "intricate" plot for a "dangerous game."

"In these unclear conditions, we must act with vigilance and open eyes. However, when the conditions require, we must also show firmness. This way we can stop the enemy in its tracks," the Leader explained.

Ayatollah Khamenei then asked all responsible bodies of the Islamic Republic to precisely implement the articles of the law in a "full and firm" fashion.

The Leader said that "those who have no responsibility or legal duty" must not interfere in that process.

"Some innocent people, who hate these villains, may seriously be hurt. Therefore, everyone must refrain from taking any action on their own. Everything must be done according to the law."

Clarification Note:

The elements of the MKO/MEK and Shahi camp that are causing strife in Islamic Iran; are very much allied with some of the more gharb-parst elements of the so-called "Green Movement".

I’m not saying Mr Mousavi, Karroubi and others are in agreement with what she’s saying; but they are also not actively coming out against them. The movement they actively chose to support following their defeat in the presidential elections; has gone out of their control; and like Talhah and Zubayr who were overwhelmed by the circumstances of what they had done in Jamal in rallying people towards the Red haired camel; Mousavi, Karroubi, and their allies are in a very similar situation.

In order to really and truely distance themselves from this lady and others who are clearly US+British+Zionist backed in a campaign against Islamic Iran; Mousavi, Karroubi, et al - need to now come out and make a clear unambiguous statement telling people they are completely loyal to the Leader(HA), to the President and to Islamic Iran; and they should then withdraw from public life and from public office. This is the only way they can recover some dignity. It’s important they and those who support them realise this.

Recently; since the Ashura attrocity conducted by the MKO/MEK and it’s US/British and Israeli backers; I have been asked by a number of people; be they Iranian or otherwise; be they inside Islamic Iran or outside; about why we support Imam Khamenei(HA) the Leader.  I have responded to these people; and am being compelled to repeat myself over and over.  As a result I have chosen to post here; on my blog and on Islamic Digest; to save myself from constant repetition.

I have already explained the situation and what really happened on Ashura 2009 clearly.  You can see that information here.  (There’s a typo on my title; it should be 1432 not 1431).

My response is pasted below:

In His Name, the Most High

Imam Khumayni(A) had the support of the people, yes; but the people in the referrundum didn’t vote for Imam Khumayni(A). Imam Khumayni(A) was an individual; a political system can’t be based on an individual; even if that person is ma’sum; the system is the thing that people accepted.  People accepted the Nizaam-e-Jomhoriyyeh Eslami (Islamic Republic System), which is the actualization of the system of Wilayat al-Faqih.  Please understand this.

Yes; granted Mr Mir Hossein Mousavi was a prime minister during the war; whether he was good or bad is neither here nor there; he was living under the blessed shadow of Imam Khumayni(A) and Imam wouldn’t let him or anyone else harm the system, and more importantly harm Islamic Iran.

Let me give you a simple example and explanation; something I am suprised you don’t understand because you claim to be in Islamic Iran; khair; che migam jaanam; majburam tauzih bedam; hala yeh kami gush kon; va be khubi:

We; who follow the line of Imam Khumayni(A); we who are loyal to Wilayat al-Faqih; are first and foremost loyal to Islam-e-Naab; the true Islam of Muhammad(S).  We love Imam Khumayni(A); and the blood in our veins is ready to be sacrificed for Imam Khamenei(HA); why do you think that is?  Because we are "brainwashed"?  No because we have a historical precedent for what’s happening; and we don’t want to be amongst those enemies of Allah who are eternally cursed and have been removed from the mercy of Allah.

Given the situation of Islam; when the Islamic Revolution took place; given the fitneh and corruption that the now dead Shah, may Allah grant him hell eternally for him to stay in, along with his Amerikkkan masters; Islam had been forgotten.

Many people didn’t have any form of Islam; except an Islam that was cultural and ritualistic in nature.  Imam Khuamyni(A) woke up the people; he gave us the original Islam; the original Islam of Muhammad(S); and once we realised what it was - whether we were in Iran or outside Iran; we took it with both hands and embedded it into our hearts and souls.

Our lives were delivered to our master, Imam al-Mahdi(AJ); who is our ultimate Leader; and our absolute loyalty was to the Wali Faqih in the absence of Imam al-Hujjah(AJ). 

Consider that early time; since 1963 to 1989 as the time of the Prophet(S).  The Prophet Muhammad(S) worked hard for Islam; from the early days; and in 1AH, he established the first Islamic Government in Madinah, from when our Islamic Calender - both Hijri Qamari and Hijri Shamsi starts.

After 10 or so years; our beloved Rasul(S) passed away; the same way after around 10 years since the victory of the Islamic Revolution; the greatest mujaddid of Islam; and the grandson of the Prophet(S); who revived Islam and brought back that spirit of the Original Islam; passed away. 

Following that; while on the temporal realm in the time of the Prophet(S); Imam Ali(A) didn’t become the caliph; Imam Ali(A) was regardless the Imam of the Ummah; and the successor of the Prophet(S); whether people accepted him or not. 

Even when Imam Ali(A) was not the caliph he still worked tirelessly to help Islam and ensure that Islam was protected.  People didn’t love Imam Ali(A) the same way as they loved Rasul(S); sad but true; but those who loved him; those lumaries like Salmaan(A), Miqdaad(A), Ammar(A), Abu Dhar(A), Malik(A), etc; and many many others; stood firm on the side of Imam Ali(A); when he was a caliph and when he wasn’t - because they knew he was the Imam, and that loyalty to him was paramount.

Now coming to our time; after the time of Imam Khumayni(A); Imam Khamenei(HA) was compelled to reluctantly accepted the position of Wali Faqih; by the Majles Kubragan, he didn’t want it - he said "man mukhalef am" - "I am against this" - but the members of the Majles; this is well known - and documented:

Please see:

We know that Imam Khumayni(A) himself chose Imam Khamenei(HA) as the Wali Faqih after him; and if you examine the character and personality of Imam Khamenei(HA); then with respect; he couldn’t have chosen a better person.

Imam Khamenei(HA) is a living Shaheed; the MKO/MEK - who are incidently all heavily supported by the US+UK+Israel, and who the media mouthpieces of the enemies (such as BBC Persian, BBC World, France 24, VOA, VOA Persian Service, etc - have no problem with; even though the group MKO is a known terrorist group; and an known ally of Saddam and the Zionists). 

The assasination attempt was real; Imam Khamenei(HA) speaks about it here – currently I don’t have the time or energy to subtitle it; so I ask if someone is interested in subtitling this; or knows of a subtitled copy please let me know:

Imam Khamenei(HA) is humble; and his priority is Islam; he is not interested in this world; and if you examine history; the same allegations against Imam Khamenei(HA) are being made as were made against his grandfather Imam Ali(A) - and these allegations are coming from the enemies - in the case of Imam Ali(A) it was the camp of Muawiyyah along with his allies in Rome; who are instigated and worked hard to manipulate Islam and corrupt the true Islam of Muhammad(S).  This is well known; and frankly - you being in Islamic Iran - I’m amazed and bewildered that you don’t know this.

If you examine the Iranian Economy; in the time of the current government; it has improved; especially since President Dr Ahmadinejad(HA) came to become president, proof for this is from the figures that exist; please see:

Also; you must know; that the CIA and other enemies of Allah; are working hard and have set aside funding to assist groups that are trying to overthrow the Islamic Government; why? Because Islamic Iran has it’s head held up high; we do not bend to the wills of America and Britain, we are governed by Islam and our loyalty is to Allah; and to the Wali Faqih; surely you know this; but for the record, please see:

I put the last two links into Operation Ajax in as a history lesson for you; because it seems perhaps you’re too young to know what the British and Americans did in Iran in the 50s, when the overthrew Dr Mossaddeq.

Please my dear brother; please don’t become a tool in the hands of the enemies of Allah.  Don’t let your niavety and guillibility become a tool for those who wish to harm Islam.  Don’t become one of those who sacrifices his akhirah for this world; for surely that will be something terrible.

I’m going to stop now; but with one word; if you are unable to view the Youtube Videos; tell me.  Don’t just ignore it; tell me - I will upload them to one of my servers; and you can download and view them without having to goto Youtube.  Just tell me; and I will do the needful; but please try to learn and understand my dear brother.

Also; another questioner said said that since I loved Islamic Iran I should leave and move there - I answered you; but I want you to view a video made by some of our brothers in Pakistan and Lebanon; they don’t live inside Islamic Iran; but their love for Wilayat al-Faqih, for Islamic Iran, for the Leader(HA) is just as strong:

(Unfortunately I don’t have a subtitled version of the Arabic song, again, if anyone is aware of this nasheed being subtitled; or wishes to undertake the task; please contact me, for my part; I will try and subtitle it as I get time, insha Allah)

To that second questioner; I ask:

Should the brothers in Pakistan and Lebanon and elsewhere who love Imam Khamenei(HA) and who love the Islamic Government should they also move to Iran as per your theory?

My dear; we love Iran only because it is Islamic.  And Islam is Universal for every corner of the Earth; and the Earth is Allah’s; so wherever we are; this is good for us; and our duty is to promote the Truth; and the true Islam of Muhammad(S) is the Truth; so this is what we do.

At the moment; alhamdu lillah; we have Islamic Iran; and we will defend her till our dying breaths; but if it was Islamic Japan, or Islamic Cuba, or Islamic USA; no problem; we will defend them also; but not because of their country; because of Islam.  That is the criteria.  Nothing else.

You need to understand the mentality of one who has submitted to Allah; as this mentality is very different to those who are have not.

Aun and Muhammad were the sons of Abdullah ibn Ja’far and Zaynab binte Ali. They had not accompanied Zaynab binte Ali when she left Medina with third Shi’a Imam, Hussain ibn Ali. Just before Hussain ibn Ali started his journey from Mecca, Abdullah ibn Ja’far brought his two sons to Mecca and handing them over to Hussain ibn Ali said, "O Hussain ibn Ali, since you have decided to go and will not allow me to come with you, please take my two sons with you. Aun will represent his maternal grandfather Ali ibn Abu Talib and Mohammad will represent his paternal grandfather Ja’far ibn Abu Talib". He then went to Zaynab binte Ali and said, "I have brought to you our two sons to go with you. In the time of difficulty on the Imam of our time, give one son as sadqa from your side and the other one as sadqa from my side".

Aun and Muhammad were quite young. It is reported that Aun was about thirteen and Muhammad was a year or two younger. They had learnt the art of fencing from their uncle, Abbas ibn Ali.

On the night before Day of Ashura Zaynab binte Ali said to them, "My sons, tomorrow there will be a battle. I can not ask you to fight because you are young. But if anything happens to Hussain ibn Ali, while you are still alive, I will be filled with shame." Both the boys stood up and said "Mother, we have the blood of Ali ibn Abu Talib and Ja’far ibn Abu Talib in our veins. Our grand fathers were warriors whose fame will always be remembered. Do you think we can possibly shame them? More over we are the pupils of Abbas ibn Ali. Mother, unless you forbid us and stop us from fighting, we shall go to the battlefield and show the enemies of Islam how bravely the children of Islam can fight. All we want from you is a promise that you will never weep for us. Our souls will never rest in peace if you grieve for us after we are gone".

Tears of joy and pride flowed down Zaynab binte Ali’s eyes as she embraced her two boys. In the morning during the general attacks from the enemy, Aun and Muhammad fought side by side with Ali Akbar ibn Husain, Qasim ibn Hassan, and Abbas ibn Ali. Every time either of them succeeded in defeating an enemy, he would look proudly at Abbas ibn Ali who would smile and nod his approval. Hussain ibn Ali would not, however, give the two boys permission to go for single combat. They were very disappointed. They came to their mother for help. Zaynab binte Ali sent someone to request Hussain ibn Ali to come to her tent. When Hussain ibn Ali came to Zaynab binte Ali, she said, "Hussain, at the battle of Siffin Abbas was only eight years old. When he saw someone trying to attack you, he rushed into the battle field and killed the man. Do you remember how proud our father Ali was? Today I too want to be proud of my sons. I want to see them go out there and defend Islam. Will you not allow me that privilege?" Hussain ibn Ali stood there in silence. He looked at his sister. He saw the disappointment on her face. He saw tears forming around her eyes. He put his arms around the two boys and led them to their horses. He kissed them and then helped them mount. "Go," said Hussain ibn Ali, "Go, and show the world how those as young as you can fight the injustice and oppression of Yazid!" Then he turned round and lifted the curtain of the tent. The boys raised their hands and said "Fi Amaani-llah (farewell), mother!" Zaynab binte Ali replied, "Bismillah my sons. Allah be with you!"

The two boys rode out into the battlefield. They fought bravely. At one point Umar ibn Sa’ad asked, "Who are these two youngsters? They fight like I have seen Ali ibn Abu Talib and Ja’far ibn Abu Talib fight." When he was told who they were he ordered his soldiers to give up single combats and surround and kill the boys. Aun and Muhammad were attacked from all sides. Soon they were over-powered and brutally killed. Hussain ibn Ali and Abbas ibn Ali carried the two young bodies to a tent and laid them on the floor. Hussain ibn Ali walked to Zaynab binte Ali’s tent. He found her in sajdah praying, "Ya Allah, I thank you for accepting my sacrifice. My heart is filled with pride because my two sons have given their lives for your religion."

Method of treatment: – 
Lay your hands on the place of pain and praise Allah (SWT) names  above according to your disease  until the pain heals or cure away inshallah.

Note:

Please keep in mind whatever takes place in result of reciting the names of Allah(SWT) depends on the will of Allah the Almighty.

In the first rakat after Surah Hamd recite Ayatul Kursi and in the second rakat after Surah Hamd recite Suarah Qadr 10 times and after the prayer say:

Allaahumma sale a’laa Muhammadinw wa aale Muhammadinw wab a’tha thawaabaha ilaa qabre dhaalikal mayyite falaan bin falaan. Instead of falaan bin falaan mention the name of the dead person.

Another Prayer

Sayyid Ibne Tawus has narrated from the Messenger of Allah (saw) that the most difficult for the dead person is the first night in the grave, so have pity on your dead ones and give Sadaqah on their behalf so that their difficulty is reduced and if there is nothing to give in Sadaqah you must pray two rakats prayer.

In the first rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Tawheed twice and in the second rakat after Surah Hamd recite Surah Takathur 10 times and after the Salaam say:
Allaahumma sale A’laa Muhammadinw wa aale muhammadin wab atha thawaabaha ilaa qabre dhaalikal mayyite falaan ibne falaan

Thus the Almighty this very moment would send thousands of angels to the grave with heavenly garments and they turn the narrowness of the grave into vastness till the time the bugle would be blown and would make the good deeds of the worshipper shine like the sun and elevate him 40 grades.

Fazilat of Namaz-e-Wahshat

Shaykh Thiqatul Islam Noori has narrated directly from Fath Ali Sultanabadi that he says he had the habit that whenever he heard of the death of a family member or a friend he would pray two rakats prayer of the night of burial and gift the Sawab. "No one knew about this practice of mine. One day I met a friend. He said: Last night I had a dream in which I saw a person who had died that day. I asked him about his well being and inquired about the conditions after death. He said that after my death I was in a terrible difficulty because my deeds were very bad. Till the time this person recited two rakat prayer. And he mentioned your name. This two rakat Namaz saved me from the punishment. May Allah have mercy on the parents of this person who did this favour to me.

Marhum Haaj Mulla said: At this time the person asked me what that prayer was? I explained to him the method of this prayer and those things that are beneficial to the dead ones.

They are as follows:

1. In order to be safe from the Wahshat-e-Qabr (terror of the grave) one should perform the ruku properly. Thus it is related from Imam Baqir (as) that one who performs the ruku properly does not have terror in the grave.

2. Recite "Laa ilaaha illallaahul Malikul haqqul Mubeen" a hundred times daily. One who recites this is safe from poverty and terror of the grave and affluence pulls him towards itself and the doors of Paradise open up for him.

3. Recite Surah Yasin before going to bed.

4. Recite Namaz-e-Lailatul Raghaib which is mentioned in the A’maal of Rajab on the eve of the first Friday of the month of Rajab.

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (as) that whenever there is narrowness and severity on the dead body the Almighty widens his grave and removes the narrowness and says that this widening is because you had recited Namaz-e-Wahshat for such and such believer brother.

Everyday, a hunchback came and took away the chapati. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went His way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

This went on, day after day. Everyday, the hunch-back came, picked up the chapati and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself… "Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?"

One day,exasperated, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the Chapati she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said. Immediately, she threw the chapati into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window- sill. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapati and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman.

Everyday, as the woman placed the chapati on the window-sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said,

"Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here.

"While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapati.

"As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" "

As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale. She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned chapati that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realised the significance of the words:

"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"

Do good & Remain Blessed!

If this surah is recited near a person on his deathbed, then for each
letter recited, 12 angels are sent to pray for his forgiveness and
they remain even when the soul is being taken by the Angel of Death.
The angels also  take part in his funeral rites.

If recited near a person who is in Sakarat-ul-Mawt (on the verge of
passing away), then an angel brings a drink for the dying person from
Jannah and as he drinks of it, he feels greatly eased.

In another narration, this surah has been described as the key to all
good in this life and in the hereafter and a safety from all evil in
this life and in the hereafter. Needs are fulfilled if asked after the
recitation of this surah and the reward for its recitation is also
compared to performing twenty hajj pilgrimages.

Drinking the water in which this surah has been dissolved cures one of
a thousand types of illnesses. The Holy Prophet (saw) said that
everything has its heart and the heart of the Holy Qur’an is surah
Yaseen.

He (SAWW) also said that if this surah is recited in a graveyard then
all punishment is lifted, for that day, from all the graves and the
recitor gets the reward equal to the sum of all the good actions
performed by all those who are buried in that graveyard.
It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) that whoever recited
this surah in the morning will be protected from all calamities and
problems during the day and whoever recites it at night will be
protected from Shaitan by seventy thousand angels.

Recitation of this surah saves one from the squeezing of the grave and
its other torments. Passing the difficult stages in the hereafter will
also be made easy for him.

The sixth Imam (as) also said that drinking this surah after writing
it in a mixture of rose water and saffron for seven days (it has to be
written once for each day) makes a person have such a good memory that
he will never forget what he hears. He will win debates and will gain
great respect and status.  If given to a woman, her breast-milk will
increase.

Keeping this surah in one’s possession as a talisman acts as a
protection from the jealousy of people. The wearer remains safe from
the evil designs of men and Jinn. It also acts as a cure from disease.
