✅ The Benefits of Sending Blessings (Salawat) for the Deceased

Ayatollah Bahaoddini (may he rest in peace) used to say: "Reciting blessings for the deceased has great benefits. Sometimes, I send Salawat (blessings) for the deceased and have witnessed remarkable effects. Once, I dreamt of a person suffering various torments. I offered some Salawat for them and, upon dreaming of them again, found that, thanks to the Salawat, they had been saved. Alhamdulillah."

One person shared: "My mother passed away a few years ago. One night, I dreamt of her, and she said, 'My son! Nothing brings peace to my soul like the Salawat. The best gift you can give me is the recitation of Salawat.'"

📖 Qur’an & Ahlulbayt (AS) Reflections
Surah al-An‘ām – Verse 62

ثُمَّ رُدُّوا إِلَى اللهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِّ أَلا لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَ هُوَ أَسْرَعُ الْحاسِبِینَ
Then [all people] will be returned to Allah, their True Master. Surely, all judgment belongs to Him, and He is the swiftest of reckoners. (6:62)

🌹 Imam al-Sadiq (AS):
When Marwan ibn Hakam entered Madinah and arrogantly recited this verse, Imam al-Husayn (AS) remarked:
“Indeed, by Allah, I and my companions will be returned to Paradise, while he and his followers will be returned to Hell.”
📚 Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, v.4, p.414; Bihār al-Anwār, v.44, p.206

🌹 Imam Ali (AS) – On the Deception of Dunya:
“Beware! This world is a deceiving abode. Every day it takes a husband, and every night it slays its people… Where are those who built palaces, commanded armies, and gathered wealth? They are now dust in their graves. All will be returned to Allah, their True Master.”
📚 Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, v.4, p.414; Bihār al-Anwār, v.74, p.375

🌹 Imam Ali (AS) – A Divine Distinction:
“Allah the Exalted has granted me a special honor and distinction through the Prophet (PBUH). It is in His words: ‘Then they will all be returned to Allah, their True Master…’”
📚 Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, v.4, p.416; al-Kāfī, v.8, p.27

🌹 The Prophet (PBUH) to Imam Ali (AS):
“O Ali! You are the judge of this Ummah and in charge of their reckoning. On the Day of Judgment, the return is to you, the reckoning is upon you, the path is your path, the scale is your scale, and the standing-place is yours.”
📚 Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, v.4, p.416; Bihār al-Anwār, v.24, p.272

🌹 Imam Ali (AS) – On Allah’s Reckoning:
When asked: “How will Allah hold creation to account while they cannot see Him?” He replied:
“Just as He provides them sustenance while they cannot see Him.”
📚 Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, v.4, p.416; Nūr al-Thaqalayn

✨ Reflection:
This verse reminds us that no matter how powerful or wealthy one becomes, the ultimate return is to Allah, the True Master. The Ahlulbayt (AS) clarify that real success lies in humility, faith, and righteous deeds — for Allah is the swiftest of reckoners.

🔹 Verse 25 – Surah Al-A‘rāf: The Earthly Test and the Return Beyond

“He said, ‘Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought forth.’”
(Surah Al-A‘rāf, 7:25)

🌍 The story of mankind began with descent — a fall from the nearness of the Divine to the trial of the earthly realm. But this descent was not a punishment; it was a preparation. The Earth became the arena where humanity learns, strives, and proves the sincerity of its faith until the Day of Resurrection.

📖 Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) was asked about the verse:

“Descend, being enemies to one another, and for you there is on the earth a dwelling place and enjoyment for a time.”
He said: “Until the Day of Resurrection.”
(Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 72; Biḥār al-Anwār, vol. 11, p. 161)

✨ Imam al-ʿAskari (a.s.) explained that God said to Adam, Eve, Iblis, and the Serpent:

“The earth shall be your dwelling place — live in it, strive within its days and nights toward the Hereafter. Blessed is the one who disciplines his soul for the Abode of Eternity. From the earth you will eat and benefit, but within it you shall also face trials and tribulations.
At times, I will delight you with worldly bounties so that you may remember the everlasting bliss of the Hereafter. At other times, I will test you with hardships — hidden within which are My mercies — to warn you of the eternal punishment that holds no comfort or rest.”
(Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 72; Imam al-ʿAskari, p. 226)

🌾 ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm al-Qummī summarized it beautifully:

“‘Descend, being enemies to one another,’ means Adam and Iblis.
‘And for you there is on the earth a dwelling and enjoyment for a time,’ meaning until the Day of Resurrection.”
(Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 74; Biḥār al-Anwār, vol. 11, p. 160)

💫 Reflection:
The earth is both a gift and a test — a temporary station, not a destination.
We were sent here not merely to live, but to remember, strive, and return.
Blessed are those who, amid its light and darkness, prepare for the dawn of the everlasting world.

🌿 Eternity Awaits Us... 🌌
🎙 Master ‘Alli

It’s not a joke.
The late Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī (may God bless his soul) — as his students narrate — would sometimes pause in the middle of his lecture and say, almost unexpectedly:

“Gentlemen, eternity lies ahead of us...”

Then he would continue his lesson a bit, and again repeat:

“Eternity lies ahead of us!”

We truly believe an eternity awaits us — a life so endless that the entire span of this worldly existence, even the many centuries of Prophet Noah’s life, are nothing more than the blink of an eye compared to it.

It is narrated that when the Angel of Death came to take the soul of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), Noah asked in amazement:

“Is it over already?”

The Angel replied, “Yes, by God, it is over.”
And Noah said:

“How quickly it passed!”

The Angel then said:

“If this feels short to you, what do you say of the people of the End Times whose lives will last no more than 60 or 70 years?”

Prophet Noah replied:

“If my life had been only 60 or 70 years, I would have spent the whole time in prostration before God.”

☀️ Think about that for a moment — eternity doesn’t mean millions or billions of years. It means something with no end at all.

Let’s not forget this truth amidst the distractions of life. The eternal journey is real — and it’s waiting for us.

🎁 A Gift for the Departed Souls

🌷 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said:

“Send gifts to your deceased loved ones!”

❓They asked: “What kind of gifts, O Messenger of Allah?”
🖌 He replied: “Charity and supplication.”
📗 Mustadrak al-Wasā’il, vol. 2, p. 484

🕊 Ayatollah Masoud ‘Ali beautifully explains:

When a person enters a cemetery and recites Surah Yaseen for all those buried there, Allah eases the suffering of every soul in that graveyard. If they are among the punished, their punishment is lightened — and for the reciter, Allah records good deeds equal to the number of those resting there.

🌺 And if the gift is offered for one’s own relatives, in addition to all these blessings, the reward of maintaining family ties (ṣilat al-raḥm) is also added.

💫 Never forget your loved ones — their hearts await your prayers.
