Vicegerency (Imamat) and help us. I shall stand near the Bridge of Siraat and pray for the
safe passage of the Shias and our helpers. At that time a herald would call from the
firmament, “ We have accepted your prayers! You have the right to intercede on behalf of
your Shias! Each of them too can intercede for seventy thousand of their friends and
neighbors! The eighth door of the Heaven is for the other Muslims who do not have the
slightest animosity towards the Ahl al Bayt. They will enter the Heaven through this door.
• Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said, “ Allah has made Friday as the day of bounties for
the inmates of the Heaven because of the momins. On that day the angels would
bring from Allah two garments for each momin. They will tell to the keeper of the
Heaven, “ Please take permission from so-and-so Momin for me to go to his
presence!” The keeper will approach the momin and say, “ O momin creature! Allah’s
angel is seeking your permission to meet you!” The momin will ask the keeper, “
What should I do?” The keeper would reply, “ O momin! Thank Allah! He has given
you high honor that He has sent a messenger with His gift for you!” Then the angel
would approach the momin and give him the two garments sent by Allah. One he
would wear around his waist and the other around his shoulders. The angel would
take the momin along with him and proceed to the wada gah e Rehmat. When all the
momins reach that place in a similar fashion, then Allah will show to them His
Radiance. They will all prostrate their heads in prayer. Then Allah would order them
to raise their heads from the prostration that it was not the time for prayer! They will
all say in unison “ O Allah! How could we thank You for granting to us the bounties
of the Heaven?” The reply will be, “ You will be bestowed seventy times more
bounties that you are receiving now! Every Friday you would receive seventy times
more bounties than in the previous week!” Therefore Allah has said in the Holy
Book,” We have more bounties and miracles.” Friday is the day of enhancement of
the bounties. The eve of Friday is very illuminating and the day is very bright. The
momins must keep themselves busy in prayer on the eve and the day of Friday. They
must repeatedly utter the words Subhan Allah, Allaho Aklbar wa la ilaha il Allah.
They should also recite Alhamdu lillah on the rosary and recite the Durood Shareef
as much as they can.
• When the momins return from the Muqaam e Rehmat to the Heaven with the gift of
the raiment from Allah, their consorts would say, “ By the Great Allah, who has
endowed us with a place in the Heaven, we have not found you as handsome as today.
From where have you acquired these good looks?” The momin would say, “ I have
acquired these good looks from the light and Radiance of Allah!” Then the Imam
(a.s.) said, “ The women in the Heaven will be free of the menstrual periods. They
will not have the instincts of jealousy and ill temper!” The narrator asked, “ Will there
be music and song in the Heaven?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “ In the Heaven there is a
tree. With the wind, under Allah’s Orders, the tree would sway and produce such a
wonderful tune that was never there in the world. This music will be only for the ears
of the momin who shunned music in his worldly life out of fear of Allah. Allah has
created the Heaven. No human eye has seen it. Every morning it is opened and the
fragrance reaches the inmates of the Heaven. Allah says, “ No creature knows what
hidden bounties are for him that would provide light and coolness to his eyes. This is
in return for the good deeds he has done in the world.”
