| There was a man in Iraq, who by profession was a barber. He was extremely pious. He had an old father whom he served diligently. He always took great care of him even to the extent that when his father went to the toilet, he ensured that there was water for him in there and then waited outside till he came out. This man was continuously with his father except on Wednesday evenings, when he went to Masjid-e-Sahlah (at Kufa) to perform the A'maal of meeting with Imam al-Hujjah (AJ). One Wednesday, this man became extremely busy during the day and so he could not serve his old father. When it was almost sunset, he rushed towards Masjid-e-Sahlah for his regular A'maals of meeting the Imam (AJ). When he had crossed only one third of his journey, he saw a horse-rider coming towards him. At first the man thought that a robber was coming his way to loot him. But as the rider got closer, he asked this man, "Where are you heading to?" The man said, "To Masjid-e-Sahlah" The rider asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" The man said, "No!" Thereupon, the rider spoke with sternness and said, "You do have some food in your pocket". The man put his hand in his pocket and found some raisins, which he had purchased for his son but had forgotten to give him. The rider, looking directly into the eyes of the man, said thrice to him: "I recommend you to go and serve your father". And then he disappeared. It was only after this that the man realized that the rider was none other than Imam al-Hujjah (AJ) who was displeased with him for stopping to serve his father even for the sake of going to Masjid-e-Sahlah. (From: Muntahal-A'maal of Sheikh Abbas Qummi) | |||

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.
