traduza o texto perfeitamente para o português THE SUPERIORITY OF RECITING THE HOLY QURAN
LOOKING AT ITS WORDS
The eyesight of a person will improve if he recites the Quran looking at it
pages. Allah will reduce the punishment for the sins of this person’s parents, even if the father or the mother was an infidel.
The house where a copy of the Quran is kept the Satan cannot come.
Authentic traditions indicate that three things would complain to Allah: 1. A mosque where people don’t go to offer prayer. 2. A scholar who
lives amongst ignorant people and none respects him. 3. A copy of the
Quran that takes dust in a house and no one reads it.
Someone asked the Prophet of Islam (a.s), “I have memorised the Quran. Is it better to recite it from the memory or by looking at the Book?”
“The Prophet (a.s) replied, “It is better to recite looking at the pages of
the Book because even looking at the book is auspicious.” Then the
Prophet (a.s) said that there are six things that would be the cause of benefit to a person even after his death: 1. A pious son who prays for the
deliverence of his parents after their death. 2. A copy of the Quran that
will be read and recited by others after a person’s death. 3. A well that
has been dug for the benefit of the populace. 4. Creating a canal or a
source of running water. 5. A tree that has been planted to give shade to
the others. 6. The good examples set by the person for others to follow
after his death.
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) said that looking at the face of Hazrat Ali
ibne Abi Talib (a.s) is equivalent to prayer. He also said that looking with
affection on the faces of one’s parents too is prayer. Looking at the Holy
Quran is prayer and setting eyes on the Kaaba too is prayer.
418THE BENEFITS OF CERTAIN VERSES OF THE HOLY
QURAN
Imam Reza (a.s) said Ism e Azam (the ineffable word) is so close to Bismillah as the white of the eye is to it’s black!
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) said, “To get rid of any ailment reciting Al
Fateha seven times is sufficient. Even then if there is no relief, then recite
the verse seventy times and I guarantee relief from the sickness!”
Imam Hassan Askari (a.s) said, “The Prophet of Allah (a.s) says that
Allah has divided the verse Al Fateha into two parts. One part for Himself and the other for His creatures. When a person says Bismillahir Rehman ir Rahim, Allah says, ‘My creature has commenced with My Name! I
shall complete all his works with felicity!’ When the person says
‘Alhamdu lillahi Rab il Aalimeen’, Allah says, ‘My creature has expressed
gratefulness for my Bounties.and therefore I have increased for him the
Bounties in this world and the Hereafter!’ Now, when the person says,
‘Ar Rehman ir Rahim’ Allah observes,’ My creature has borne witness to
My being Most Beneficient and Merciful! I shall enhance My Rewards for
him!’ When the person recites,’Maalike youm id Deen’ Allah says, ‘O ye
angels! You must bear witness that the person has accepted that I am the
Arbiter of the Day of Judgement. Therefore I shall pardon all his sins on
that fateful day!’ Now the person recites, ‘Ayyaka naabudu’, Allah says,
‘You have worshipped me and I shall Reward you for this act!’. The person then recites,’Wayyaka nastaeen’ when Allah responds,’I shall come to your
rescue in all calamities and difficulties!” The person now implores, ‘Ehdinus
sirat al mustaqeem’ when Allah joins with,’ Whatever you have asked for I
have Awarded to you and whatever fears you had I have removed
them!’”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) said, “For any pains and aches recite Al Fateha
seventy times and the pain will vanish. If Al Fateha is recited seventy
times over a dead body, there is no wonder if the dead comes back to
life!”
A person complained to the Prophet of Islam (a.s) of acute headache.
The Prophet (a.s) said,’ “Put your hand near the spot where you have the
pain and then recite Al fateha and Ayat al Kursi. Thereafter recite the
following:
‘Allaho Akbar Allaho Akbar la ilaha il Allaho wallaho Akbar ajallo wa Akbaro
mimma akhafo wa ahzaro wa aoozubillahi min harrin naar’”
One person complained of fever. The Prophet (a.s) said, “Open your
collar, put your head in the garment and say the Adhaan and Iqamat and
419recite Al Fateha seven times.” The man did likewise and the fever left
him.
The Prophet (a.s) also said that one who regularly recite the verses Al
Baqarah and Aal e Imran, these verses will provide him shade out through
the hot Day of Judgement!”
Imam Zain al Abedeen (a.s) has said, “The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has
observed,’ Whoever recites the last three verses of the chapter Al Baqarah
then he will not suffer any material losses, the Satan will never come
near him and the person will never ignore the Holy Book!”
Imam Reza (a.s) said that when a person recites the Ayat al Kursi at
bedtime he will never get afflicted with paralysis. If he recites this verse
after mandatory prayers, he will never suffer from the bite of poisonous
insects.
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) has said that if a person recites the Ayat
al Kursi once, Allah will remove a thousand calamities from him.
It is narrated that Abu Dharr Ghiffari asked the Prophet (a.s), “Which
is the greatest verse of the Holy Quran?” The Prophet (a.s) said, “The Ayat al Kursi!”
Someone complained of a fever to Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s). The Imam
asked him to write the Ayat al Kursi on a plate, wash it with water into a
tumbler and drink it.
Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) narrates that amongst his ancestors heard a
person reciting Al Fateha and told him, “He has thanked Allah and has
been pardoned!” Then he heard the man recite Qul huwallahu Ahad and
said, “The person has faith in the Unity of Allah and has become fearless!” When the person recited Inna Anzalna, the Imam (a.s) said, “The
person has borne witness to the Prophethood of Mohammed (S.A) and
he has been pardoned by Allah.” When the man recited Ayat al Kursi the
Imam (a.s) said, “Subhan Allah! The person has escaped from the Hell!”
Hazrat Ali (a.s) has said that if one has any ailment of the eye, he
should recite Ayat al Kursi with full faith and he will be cured of the disease. If a person recites Ayat al Kursi, Qul hu wallah, Inna anzalna eleven
times each at dawn, his properties will remain safe.When a person leaves
his home for some errand, he should recite Ayat al Kursi, Inna anzalna and
Al fateha before starting on his journey. The person will be successful in
his errand.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said, “Whoever recites Ayat al Kursi a
hundred times will get reward equal to his prayers offered over a
lifetime.”
