traduza o texto todo e perfeitamente para o português THE REWARD OF RECITING THE QURAN
It is narrated from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) that when a young momin recites the Holy Quran, the quran will become a part of his flesh and blood.
Allah will raise him on the Day of Reckoning with the Prophets (a.s) and
angels. The Holy Quran will express its love for him and say,’O Allah!
Every person expects reward for his good acts! Therefore I demand rewards for the persons who used to recite me!’ Then Allah would bestow
two Hillas (Heavenly Raiment) to the youth. The crown of excellence
would be placed on his head. Then Allah would ask the Holy Quran,’
Are you happy now?’ The Holy Book would then respond, ‘O Allah! I
expected much more than this! Your reward is far less than the person
deserves!’ Then Allah would award to the person the pemit to enter the
Heaven in his right hand and the permit not to enter the Hell in his left
hand. The person will then be admitted to the Heaven and asked to recite one verse from the Quran and enter the higher echelons of the
Heaven. Now Allah will ask the Quran,’ Are you happy now?’ The Quran would respond,’ No doubt! I am happy now!’
The Imam (a.s) also said, “When a person recites the Holy Quran to
learn it by-heart, Allah will double the reward for the person.”
A person who recites the Quran for the benefit of the unlettered, it will
be like doing the Jehad. Heaven will be mandatory for such a person.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) said, “O Abu Dharr! Don’t adopt the company of any other person than a momin. Share your repast with none other than the pious. Don’t share the table with hypocrites and evil persons.
O Abu Dharr! You share your food with those whom you consider your
friends and share the food with those who keep your friendship for the
sake of Allah!”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says, “My revered father, Imam Zain al
Abedeen (a.s), has said, ‘O son! Don’t meet, converse or befirend five
types of persons: 1.Don’t sit in the company of a liar. He will be like a
mirage that distant things seem near to you and nearer objects as distant.
2. Don’t keep the company of a hypocrite that he can sell you for a
morsel or less. 3. Don’t befriend a parsimonious person who will value
his money more than you in time of your need. 4. Don’t be friends with a
fool that with all good intentions he might put you to harm in his foolishness. 5. Don’t befirend a person who deprives the rights of his kin
(Qateh e Rahem). In the Holy Quran Allah curses such a person thrice.”
Hazrat Ali (a.s), in one of his sermons, said, “O Believers! It is necessary that you refrain from the company of three types of persons: 1. The
394shameless sinners and hypocrites. 2. Foolish idiots. 3. The liars.” He added, “The hypocrite will present to you the bad deeds as good and try to
make you follow in his footsteps. He will not guide you properly in the
matters of faith. His company will be the cause of shame for you. The
company of a foolish person will not help to take the right path. Don’t
expect him to come to your succor in times of difficulty, however much
he tries to do it. Don’t expect any happiness from the company of a liar.
He will tell lies to others about you.To uphold one falsehood, he will invent many lies. Even if such a person tells a truth, people wouldn’t believe him. He might create enmities amidst people by telling lies. You
must always seriously consider whose friendship you should cultivate.”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says, “Be friends with a person who
makes you cry with the fear of Allah and is your wellwisher. Don’t follow one who makes you laugh and tricks you into faults. Soon you will
have to go before Allah for accounting of your deeds!”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says, “Amongst my brothers the best friend is
one who points out my faults to me.” And added, “There are limits to
friendship and truthfulness. Those who don’t recognise these limits, they
don’t realise the value of truthfulness. A true friend is one who: 1. Keeps
the same attitude with you openly and in secret. 2. Who considers what
is good for him as good for you, and what is bad for himself he considers
bad for you. 3. If he acquires high station in society, doesn’t change his
behaviour towards you. 4. He doesn’t deny you what he has control
over. 5. He doesn’t cold shoulder you if you are confronted with any
worldly hardship.”
It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (a.s) that the most felicitous
person is one who keeps the company of good persons. Hazrat Eeesa
(a.s) was once asked by his companions, “O Prophet of Allah (a.s)! What
sort of person we should befriend?” Her said, “Looking at whom you remember Allah! Their talk enhances your knowledge! Their deeds make
you seek the rewards of the Hereafter!”
Hazrat Ali (a.s) says, “One who sits in a place of ill-repute should not
complain against persons pointing fingers at him!”
The Imam (a.s) said, “When a person keeps his own counsel, he keeps
control over himself. If he reveals his matter to two persons, it becomes
public property!”
He also said, “Think well of the actions of your brother momin and
whatever he utters accept as the truth. Try to cultivate virtuous friends
as far as possible. Such friends are the ornaments in good times and the
shields during the times of hardship.”
395“If you need to consult someone in difficult matters, seek the counsel
of the God Fearing persons.”
“Keep friendship with your brothers to the extent that they are God
Fearing.”
“Abstain from the company of women of ill-repute and maintain distance from women of good character too! Even if the women encourage
you to do something good, abstain from it that you don’t don’t get embroiled in any evil deed.”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says, “A person who cannot give you benefit
in your faith, never trust his friendship! Don’t crave his company because an action that is not in the way of Allah its end is never good!”
It is narrated from the Prophet of Allah (a.s), “There are three types of
persons whose friendship extinguishes the heart! Mean and timid persons. 2. Women. 3. Rich persons.
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says, “There are four things that become useless and vanish: 1.Friendship with an unfaithful person. 2. Good turn
done to an ungrateful person. 3. Advice and precept to persons who
don’t give a ear to such talk.4. Secrets that are revealed to irresolute
persons.”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) says: he company of rich persons should
be avoided. One who sits near them feels in the beginning that he has
been endowed with every bounty, but with passage of time he starts
thinking that he has received nothing.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said, “Four things kill one’s heart: 1. Sinning repeatedly.2. Talking a lot with women. 3. Arguing with a foolish
person. 4. Sitting near the dead.” The companions asked him, “O Prophet of Allah (a.s)! Who are the dead?” The Prophet (a.s) replied, “The dead
are the rich persons who have become head-strong with possession of
extreme wealtrh!”
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) said, “Feeding the momins is a very good
deed. Always feed others that some of them might qualify as momins and
become the cause of reward for you”
A person who feeds a hungry momin Allah will satiate him with the
fruits of the Heaven. Whoever gives a draught of water to a momin Allah
will provide him with sealed beverages in the Heaven. Whoever clothes
a momin will get raiment of silk and satin (Hareer wa istabarq) in the
Heaven. As long as a thread of the garment given to a momin remains,
the angels keep praising the bebnefactor. Whoever helps a momin in his
time of need, Allah will give him a place in the shadow of the Firmament
396on the Day of Judgement. At that time others will be facing extreme heat
in the Ground of Resurrection.
