night to dawn

Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: “Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, calls out every Thursday night, from above His Throne, from the beginning of the night until its end:

‘Is there not a believing servant who calls upon Me concerning his Hereafter and his worldly life before the break of dawn so that I may answer him?

Is there not a believing servant who repents to Me from his sins before the break of dawn so that I may accept his repentance?

Is there not a believing servant upon whom I have tightened his provision who asks Me for an increase in his provision before the break of dawn so that I may expand it for him?

Is there not a believing servant who is sick and asks Me to heal him before the break of dawn so that I may grant him health?

Is there not a believing servant who is imprisoned or in distress who asks Me to release him from his confinement so that I may free him?

Is there not a believing servant who is wronged and asks Me to avenge his oppression before the break of dawn so that I may grant him justice?’ The call continues until the break of dawn.”

praise

According to a tradition once the people heard the pebbles in the Holy Prophet’s hand praising Allah. They could understand the praise of the pebbles, but the praise was such that the human ears were quite unfamiliar with. It was in the pebble’s own language, not in any human language. – Imam Khomeini

May Allah make this Eid safe and bring Muslims together in peace.

 

Ramadan

The Prophet, peace be upon him and his Family, said: “Every year, when the month of Ramadhan enters, the Garden arrays itself ornately and beautifies itself.

So when the first night of that month falls, a gentle wind blows from under the Throne, called al-Mutheerah; and the leaves of the heavenly trees flap and the door shutters clank, to produce a melodious tune, the like of which the hearers have never heard.”

(as narrated in Al-Amali ch. 27, h. 3)

anticipating relief

The Prophet (peace and blessings on him and his family) said, “The best of deeds of my community is (actively) anticipating relief from Allah, Mighty and Exalted (scale of wisdom, h. #495)

an animal

The Prophet (peace and blessings on him and his family) said, “Mount the sound animal and look after them properly and do not treat them as chairs for your conversations in the streets and the markets, for many riding animals are better than their rider and are more remembering of Allah – Blessed and Most High” (scale of wisdom , h. #1800)
