๐ฅ Leaving the riches of the world for the hereafter ๐ฅ
Dr. Hasan Ghadiri says, โIt was very hard for the people of Italy, the center of Christianity, to accept that Senator Agnelliโs only son had turned towards Islam. They were very upset about his decision to become a Muslim and pressured him to change his mind. They boycotted him, threatened him, they voted to disinherit him and actually did it but it did not change his mind.
He saw through the reality of expensive cars, wealth, political influence and more as nothing but a distraction and a product of manโs greed, selfishness, egoism, evil and overcompensation of insecurities. He preferred the spiritual life and was known by many as a mystic. Angelo Magrini, the chairman of a blood donorโs association in Turin, paid tribute to his social sensibilities and his generous work of charity.
According to Dr. Marco Bava, โEdoardo was one of the most transparent and fair people Iโve come across in my life. He felt it as his duty to distribute through social actions, being good to people and taking care of the less fortunate. These were the great privileges that Edoardo was blessed with at birth. He always wanted to try to convey his good fortune and his great privilege to others who did not have the same luck. I would call him a generous, helpful and simple person.

The service of Hazrat Zahra (sa) ๐ฅ Memory of Haj Sardar ๐ฅ
Every year, in Fatemieh, he held ten nights of mourning ceremonies . He used to hold the program in the yard of his house in Kerman.
During the Fatimieh ceremony, most of the work was with him, from sweeping to making tea!
We had hired workers to clean Beit Al-Zahra's washrooms. (The land he bought next to his house and dedicated it for mourning, refer bio for information). Until he realized this, he went down to them. He did not let the workers touch the work. Then he said everyone to go out. He forbade anyone to go down(where the washrooms were).
He closed the door and started cleaning. When he came out after 45 minutes, he took a deep breath and said, "Akhish(Oh); "I was also able to do a service to the mourning of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH)." There was a lot of work. Haji had chosen the hardest and most sincere one.

Bio:Every year, during Fatemieh he held ten nights of mourning ceremonies . He used to hold the program in the yard of his house in Kerman. Ten years later, by moving his house to the current Shahid Rajaei Street , he bought the land next to his house and joined it and named it Beit Al-Zahra (PBUH). In 1997, when he was transferred to Tehran, he dedicated Beit Al-Zahra to mourning. He wanted it to be a center for spreading the culture of the Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).

๏ทฝ๐ฅ Tawassul to Hazrat Zahra (sa) - Memory of Marty'r Mustafa Ardestani๐ฅ
He was returning from a mission when the wing of his plane was hit. He said: I appealed (did Tawassul) to Hazrat Zahra (PBUH). At the same time, I felt someone in front of me who said: "You can continue flying with peace of mind."
When I controlled the plane again, everything was normal. I took the steering wheel of the plane in my hand and executed the orders that were out of my hands until now. I cried all the way to the base.
He used to say: Everything we have is from the grace of Fatima (sa)and her children.

๏ทฝ๐ฅFeeling the arrival of the month of Rajab๐ฅ
(Memory of Martyr Motahhari narrated by his children)
When we were children, we used to feel the coming of the month of Rajab and Sha'ban because of our late father. When the month of Rajab came, his mood and worship were different.
Our parents used to fast on Thursdays and Fridays in the month of Rajab and sometimes our father used to fast all three months i.e Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan. In fact, the month of Rajab felt different in our house.
Now we ourselves do not feel that the month of Rajab has arrived at all and we have to find it with the help of a calendar.

๐ฅStanding like a mountain to defend the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (sa)๐ฅ(Hajj Sardar) The Takfiris had reached near the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (PBUH); So much so that the bullets hit the door and the walls of the shrine. Hajj Sardar could not bear to see the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (sa) in danger.
He took the ri'fle himself and entered the field next to the defenders to defend the shrine. He stood until he was shot in the hand. How much ever we insisted on, he did not go back. He stood next to the soldiers/defenders and Hazrat Zainab (sa) with the same injured hand.

๐ด Guidelines of the late Ayatollah Qazi (RA) Regarding the Months of "Rajab al-Murajab," "Sha'ban al-Mu'azzam," and "Ramadan al-Kareem"
๐ Guideline One:
"Adhere to the obligatory acts in their best times" - Perform the obligatory prayers at their optimal times along with their recommended prayers, totaling 51 units. If unable, strive for 44 units. Even if worldly affairs hinder you, do not neglect the "Salat al-Awwabin" (known as the midday prayer) because of its significant importance. Especially, the midday prayer holds great importance due to its timing and uniqueness among other prayer times. The "Salat al-Wusta" mentioned in the Quran is interpreted as the midday prayer, and "Salat al-Awwabin" refers to those who turn to God fervently, signifying those who adhere steadfastly to Him.
๐ Guideline Two:
There is no way around performing the night prayers (Tahajjud) unless you establish them. Do not assume that the night prayer is waived; it is an unbreakable fortress. Marvel at those who aspire to attain degrees of perfection without engaging in nightly prayers. We have not heard of anyone achieving a degree of perfection without engaging in nightly prayers and the night prayer.
๐ Guideline Three:
"Engage in reciting the Quran" - Read the Quran with a melodic and melodious voice, reciting it with a pleasant tone that stirs the soul. Imam Zain al-Abidin (AS) used to recite the Quran melodiously. Reciting the Quran with melody is beneficial for humans. In general, vocal singing is prohibited, but in this case, it does not fall under the category of forbidden singing, as forbidden singing leads one towards frivolity and distraction.
๐ Guideline Four:
Visit the holy shrine of Imam Ali (AS) every day. Also, visit the revered mosques in Kufa and Sahla. Maintain your worship in other mosques, as a believer in a mosque is like a fish in water. Just as the life of a fish depends on water, the life of a believer depends on the mosque. If a fish is taken out of water, it dies.
๐ Guideline Five:
After obligatory prayers, do not neglect the Tasbeeh of Lady Fatima Zahra (SA). It is a great supplication, at least recite it once after each prayer, and if possible, two or three times.
๐ Guideline Six:
Include prayers for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (AJ) in your Qunoot during Witr prayers. Additionally, remember him in your daily prayers and supplications.
๐ Guideline Seven:
Perform the comprehensive pilgrimage (Ziyarat Jamea) on Fridays. This refers to the known comprehensive pilgrimage.
๐ Guideline Eight:
When reading the Quran, make sure to complete at least one Juz (section) every day during these three months.
๐ Guideline Nine:
Increase your visits and meetings with your brethren (referring to spiritual companions). Visit them extensively as they are your companions on the path, helping you through the challenges of the self and the narrow paths that entangle humans, providing assistance and salvation.
