He was a hard-working man with a pleasant personality. He worked hard while farming and cultivating orchards. He developed several plots and orchards and then gave them all away for the sake of Allah. One day, he acquired a piece of barren land outside the town which he wanted to cultivate. In order to do this, he decided to dig a well, he chose a suitable place and, putting Several days went by, but still there was no sign of any water coming out of the well. One day, he picked up a pickaxe, entered the well and, using all his strength and energy, worked very hard for a while, but still there was no sign of water. Exhausted, he came out of the well, wiped away the sweat of his brow, rested for a while, and then re-entered the well. He was swinging the pickaxe with such vigor that the sound of his breathing could be heard all around. After receiving a strong, hard blow with the pickaxe, the ground suddenly split open, and fresh, clear water bubbled up. He climbed quickly out of what had now become a wonderful well in the dry desert which would soon turn all the surrounding area into a lovely orchard. Soon the people gathered around to see it. Each of them was commenting on It. "What a hard working man is he" one said. "He is a good and generous man," said another. "Allah has been generous to him and given him goodness". "He and his descendants have become rich forever." said some. Some congratulated him while some were jealous. "Bring me a paper and pen" he said and then he sat down and wrote the following: "I have endowed this well and the land surrounding it in charity for its income to be used as follows: a. In helping the poor and destitute. b. In helping the travelers far away from their homes. c. In providing the means for the marriages of orphans. d. In providing medical care for the poor. e. In the doing of good works of public benefit. "I have endowed this well in charity so as to seek the pleasure of Allah and the rewards of the Hereafter, and in order to be saved from the of Hell". Do you know who this pious generous man was? He was none but the Leader of all the Believers Imam Ali (as). | ||||||||

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
Syed Mohamad Masoom Abidi
