In the name of Allah the most Beneficent the most Merciful

[031:004 Allatheena (those who) yuqeemoona (offer) alssalata (the prayer) wayu/toona
(and give) alzzakata (charity Zakat) wahum (and they) bial-akhirati (in the Hereafter)
hum (they) yooqinoona (have faith with certainty)]

[031:005 Ola-ika (such) AAala (on) hudan (guidance) min (from) rabbihim (their
Lord) waola-ika (and such) humu (they) almuflihoona (are the successful)]

Today we are discussing fourth and fifth holy verses of surah Luqman. In these verses
we may come to know about the recognition of Mohsenin. Allah has told us that
Mohsenin are those people who take extra care of their namaz. And also they give zakat
to the needy people regularly. These are the two qualities of Mohsenin what Allah has
told in these two holy verses. These are the people who are on guidance from their Allah
and on the right path. And these are the people who would get the welfare here in this
world and in hereafter world. Their action is a ticket to heaven.
Our topic is that Allah has told us the signs of the devout pious people. In them there are
visible signs that they always think to establish their namaz without bringing any break in
this process. And also they pay regularly zakat. The importance of namaz and zakat is
too much. That these can not be ignored or set aside. Dear readers there is a very
reliable great scholar his name is Barqi. He wrote a book by the name of Mohasin.
There is one narration that Barqi quoted in his book taken from a companion of fifth and
sixth imam by the name of Abu Basir. Abu Basir is a companion on whom masoomin
place their trust. He was blind. Abu Basi means a father of who can see. He used to see

through intuition. He would see through blind eyes. Actually eyes were in his heart. If
the relation and connection of imam sets in the heart, then such a personality does not
need to use his physical eyes. Once in masjid people were waiting for imam but he did
not come. People asked Abu Basir if he knew about imam. He told he had come and
gone by that time. People were astonished. When imam was asked in this regard he said
yes when people were asking from Abu Basir about him, at the very moment he had left
masjid.
Abu Basir told that sixth imam said when a moumin dies and goes in his
grave, six forms come in his grave together with the exhibition of six countenances. And
every countenance is at one side. One is before, one is at the back, one is on left, and one
is one right, one is at the feet, and one is at the pillow side. The countenance at the
pillow sides is so beautiful and shines brightly that other five countenances envy it. Then
other five countenances look at themselves and think who is the countenance at the
pillow side. The countenance at the pillow sides gives direction to other countenances to
introduce themselves. Left side countenance introduces that it is namaz. Right
countenance says it is zakat. Frontal countenance says it is roza. Backside countenance
says it is Hajj/Umrah. The countenance at feet says it is that piety, obligation and good
deed which was done with the brethren of mouninin. Then these five countenances ask
that countenance who asked their introduction. That countenance speaks

“I (the countenance) am wilayat of holy family (Ahlul Bayt) of

Muhammad (Salla 'Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam)”. Sixth countenance is ruler and other
countenances are all its subjects. All these countenances help the moumin in his grave.
Accountability is only on the Day of Judgment. The period in the grave is different from
the period of Day of Judgment. Noble and virtuous deeds conduct your soul to get its
right path. And on the way to the eternal dwelling when any harm comes to the moumin
in the grave this countenance saves him.
Sixth imam says “Thus it is imperative on you to adapt my wilayat and
offer prayer after it and other noble religious affairs”.
Dear readers it is very important to believe in the Day of Judgment. Without having the
firm belief in it your religion would be incomplete.
