“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that a son whom one sends (to the next life) is better than seventy sons who survive after one’s death, who have mounted their horses and are ready to march for the cause of Allah.”

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “One who lights a lamp in the mosque of Allah the people of heaven and Allah’s angels seek repentance for that person till the time that lamp is on in the mosque.”

I guarantee one house in the prairies of Paradise, one in the middle of Paradise and one in the highest parts of Paradise for whoever abandons quarrelling even though he may be right, abandons lying even as a joke, and is good-tempered.”

The Messenger of Allah (s) said to `Ali b. Abi Talib (as): On the Day of Resurrection, you will be given – O `Ali – a garment of light, and upon your head will be a crown with an illuminating light [so bright that] it will almost put out the vision of the people of the judgment. Then, a call will come from Allah: “Where is the vicegerent of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah?” So, you will say: “I am he.” He said: So, the caller will call: “O `Ali! Take your lovers to Paradise and those who opposed you to the Fire.” You are the divider of Paradise, and you are the divider of the Fire.

"Whomever fasts one day in Rajab, from its beginning or its middle or its end, Allah will make Paradise obligatory for him. He will bring him to us, in our rank, on the Day of Resurrection. Whomever fasts two days in Rajab, it will be said to him: “Resume your work, for everything that has passed has been forgiven.” Whomever fasts three days in Rajab, it will be said to him: “Everything that has passed and everything that will remain has been forgiven, so intercede for whichever sinner you wish from your brethren to your acquaintances.” Whomever fasts seven days in Rajab, the seven doors of Hell will be locked from him. Whomever fasts eight days in Rajab, the eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will be able to enter whichever one he wants."
