To attain blessings, having complete trust is a condition!

O devotees of the Holy Prophet! To attain blessings from holy relics, you must have complete trust. For example, thinking about whether visiting the shrine of a certain Wali (Saint) رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه  or a certain pious person is beneficial or not? Whether the blessed hair of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is beneficial or not? By drinking Zam Zam water, do illnesses get cured or not? Do problems get resolved from Ta’wizaat or not? Is there any benefit of dam and Durood, etc.? Whilst having these kinds of intrusive thoughts, no specific Islamic invocations or Ta’weez will benefit you at all. The more stronger your trust will be, the blessings will be as great, by the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ because to attain blessing, having complete trust is a condition.

Keep this ruling in mind that whosoever read Islamic invocations for his own desire will not be rewarded for it. Therefore, it should be done solely for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and through the means of Islamic invocations, make Du’a in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to fulfil your need.

O devotees of the Holy Prophet! From holy relics, we gain blessings, problems are solved and calamities are removed. Having this belief is not a bad thing or a new thing. The reason for this is that there are many verses in the Holy Qur’an that mention the importance of holy relics and there are stories of previous nations who have gained blessings from holy relics. Bani Israel gained blessings from the Taboot-e-Sakeenah (that blessed wooden-box in which holy relics of the Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام were kept), the making of Du’a by Sayyiduna Zakariyya عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم in the arch of Maryam and it being accepted. These events of gaining blessings from holy relics have been mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in great detail. Let’s listen to one event from the Holy Qur’an relating to the blessings of holy relics:

Gaining blessings from Maqaam-e-Ibrahim

Maqaam-e-Ibrahim is that blessed stone, upon which the Prophet of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Sayyiduna Ibrahim عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم had put his blessed feet on. Whichever section of the stone came under his feet, it became soft like wet clay, such
