when Hazrat Ali bin Salih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه also passed away, Hazrat Hasan bin Salih
رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه would complete an entire Khatm of the Holy Quran alone every night

A Faith-Strengthening Parable at the Time of Passing

Hazrat Hasan bin Salih says: On the night when Hazrat Ali bin Salih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه passed away, he said to me, “Brother, give me some water.” At that moment, I was engaged in Salah. After completing the prayer, I filled a glass with water, brought it to him, and said, “Please drink the water.” Hazrat Ali bin Salih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه replied, “I have just drunk water.”

In amazement, I asked, “Who gave you water? There is no one else in the room besides you and me!” Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ali bin Salih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “By the mercy of Almighty, Hazrat Jibreel عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام just came with water. He quenched my thirst and also said to me: You, your brother, and your mother are among those upon whom Allah Almighty has bestowed His favour, the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous.” After saying this, his soul departed from this world. (Sifat al-Safwah, 3/100, with changes)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Undoubtedly, that was a truly fortunate household, one in which every member supported one another in the great act of worship of Quran recitation. It was as if none of them wished to lag behind in good deeds. Sadly, such scenes are rarely witnessed today. Now, instead of encouraging those who step forward towards righteousness, hearts are hurt, and spirits are discouraged. If only we too could become helpers of one another in good deeds.

O devotees of the Awliya! This account teaches us that the pious Elders of the religion رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ عَلَيْهمْ اَجْمَعِين truly understood the importance of the Noble Quran. That is why they always remained attached to it, constantly reciting it and striving to complete as many Khatm of the Quran as possible. They adorned their homes with Quranic recitation.

If only we too would illuminate our homes with the recitation of the Quran. Our beloved Master صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has commanded us to keep our homes alive
