closer to them, touch them or kiss them out of respect, then he should do so, but he should not let the golden opportunity of taking blessings from them slip from his grasp.

With the blessings of the sacred relics, peace is attained

Dear Islamic brothers! Do not consider sacred relics to be ordinary at all. For their sake, countless blessings are attained. Sacred relics are a means of being safeguarded from punishment and remaining in peace. In the Holy Quran, the land of Egypt is mentioned, which was ruled by Fir’awn. He was a disbeliever who claimed to be God, and who arrogantly opposed the Prophet of Allah, Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. He was mischievous, rebellious and spread tribulations across the land. Allah Almighty drowned him, and all of his nation who followed his suit in a river, and had them destroyed.

Read the Holy Quran, with the translation of Kanz-ul-Iman, the Tafseer of Khaza`in-ul-Irfan, Noor-ul-Irfan, or the Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinan; attempt to understand the Holy Quran, and see how Allah Almighty has mentioned disbelieving nations in Part 8 (Surah Al-A’raf), in Part 19 (Surah Al-Shu’ara`), and in many other places. Allah Almighty mentions the punishment that came upon them; the nation of ‘Aad disbelieved, and punishment came upon them and in their town; the nation of Thamood disbelieved, and punishment came upon them and their town; the nation of Sayyiduna Loot عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام disbelieved, and punishment came down upon them and in their town; but punishment did not befall Fir’awn within his town, he was taken out of his city and was drowned in a river.
