<strong>the</strong> grace <strong>of</strong> Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is All-<br />

Embracing, All-Knowing.<br />

098.008 Their reward is with <strong>the</strong>ir Lord: Gardens <strong>of</strong> Eden underneath which<br />

rivers flow, wherein <strong>the</strong>y dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in <strong>the</strong>m and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord.<br />

In <strong>the</strong>se verses, Allah Most High informs us that He loves His pious servants<br />

and is also pleased with <strong>the</strong>m. Allah Most High always showers His Mercy<br />

on His beloved servants and it is for this reason that <strong>the</strong>ir bodies become<br />

blessed and if someone’s clo<strong>the</strong>s were just to touch <strong>the</strong> blessed body, <strong>the</strong>y to<br />

would become blessed, as Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />

002.248 And <strong>the</strong> prophet said to <strong>the</strong>m: Surely <strong>the</strong> sign <strong>of</strong> His kingdom is,<br />

that <strong>the</strong>re shall come to you <strong>the</strong> chest in which <strong>the</strong>re is tranquillity from<br />

your Lord and residue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relics <strong>of</strong> what <strong>the</strong> children <strong>of</strong> Musa and <strong>the</strong><br />

children <strong>of</strong> Haroun have left, <strong>the</strong> angels bearing it; most surely <strong>the</strong>re is a<br />

sign in this for those who believe.<br />

Here Allah Almighty informs us <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chest which contained <strong>the</strong> blessed<br />

possessions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pious. These blessed possessions granted <strong>the</strong> believers<br />

peace <strong>of</strong> mind. This clearly proves that <strong>the</strong> possessions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pious are<br />

blessed. The commentators <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Qur’an have all said that <strong>the</strong> chest<br />

contained <strong>the</strong> clo<strong>the</strong>s <strong>of</strong> Sayyidina Musa (peace be upon him), Sayyidina<br />

Haroon (peace be upon him) and <strong>the</strong>ir families. In <strong>the</strong> chest <strong>the</strong>re was also<br />

Sayyidina Musa’s staff, pieces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Old Testament, and some belongings<br />

<strong>of</strong> previous Prophets, which had touched <strong>the</strong>ir bodies. When <strong>the</strong> believers<br />

went to war <strong>the</strong>y took this chest with <strong>the</strong>m and used to supplicate to Allah<br />

Azawajal by using <strong>the</strong> chest as a wasila.<br />

012.093 Go with this shirt <strong>of</strong> mine and lay it on my fa<strong>the</strong>r's face, he will<br />

become (again) a seer; and come to me with all your folk.<br />

012.094 When <strong>the</strong> caravan departed <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>r had said: Truly I am<br />

conscious <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> breath <strong>of</strong> Joseph, though ye call me dotard.<br />

012.095 (Those around him) said: By Allah, lo! thou art in thine old<br />

aberration.<br />

012.096 Then, when <strong>the</strong> bearer <strong>of</strong> glad tidings came, he laid it on his face<br />

and he became a seer once more. He said: Said I not unto you that I know<br />

from Allah that which ye know not?<br />
