  • Saheefah-e-RazaviyyahImam Ali Ibn Moosa al-Reza (as) - XKP

    Published: 2016 Tag(s): islam

  • 1ChapterDedication This work is dedicated to two infallible personalities of the universe whoalthough belonged to women gender but they were declared as spiritual guideand leader who can’t be limited to any land or period. One is known as ‘Umm-e-Abeehaa’ and the other ‘Kareemah-e-Ahl-e-Bait’ – on whose gate of mercyeverybody implores with stretched hands:

    ِ ْلَجنَّ ْ ْ ِف ْ ِل ُ ِْشَفِع ِطَم َی َفO Faatemah! Intercede for me, so that I enter Heaven.

  • 2ChapterForeword In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. And by the help ofImam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.).

    Ja’fari Propagation Centre is glad to translate and publish the book‘Saheefa-e-Razawiyyah’ in English which is the compilation of supplicationsand ziyaaraat narrated from Imam Reza (a.s.).

    Readers are requested to inform us of any spelling or printing error so that itcan be rectified in the coming editions.

    Lastly, we pray to Allah (s.w.t.) to give us opportunities to propagate theknowledge of Ahle bait (a.s.) so that they (a.s.) intercede us on the Day ofJudgement.

  • 3ChapterTranslator’s Note All praise be to Allah Who hears all invocations, bestows hope to hearts andperfects His blessings.

    Prayer means lamentation, beseech, heart rending sigh, presentation ofcondition of heart in the Divine Court, recognition of His Magnificent andGrandeur and acceptance of one’s lowliness. Supplication of the one who hasgot nothing in his possession requests Him Who has got everything. Everyperson supplicates according to his own style and disposition. Sometimes theprayers are answered and sometimes rejected. Infallible Imams (a.s.) havetaught us the reasons behind the invocations which are not answered. ImamAli ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) says in Dua-e-Kumail:

    َء َع لُّ ْ َتْحِبُس لَِّت َ ْ ُن لُّ َ ْ ِل ْغِف .َلّلُهمَّ O Allah! Forgive me my sins which hold back supplication!But it is not so that the supplications which are not answered are wasted. No,

    instead the rewards of the unanswered prayers are kept stored in one’s book ofdeeds. And when they will see the rewards on the Day of Judgement, they willstretch their hands saying: ‘My Lord! I had not performed these good deedsthen why such a great reward?’ Then a Divine Voice will be heard saying,‘This is the reward of your supplications which were not answered.’ At thisstage the person, who was complaining for non-acceptance of his supplicationwill wish had it so happened that none of his invocations would have beenanswered.

    This is also a blessing of Allah, the High, that He called His sinning servantssaying:

    ْ َْسَتِجْب َلُكْم ِن ْ ُع ْ ُ.“Call upon Me, I will answer you.”1Because the Noble Personage of Almighty Allah is such that He is Merciful

    upon all the creatures, He is the Provider of sustenance to all the creatures, He

  • is the Master of all the things, Remover of all the miseries and tribulations,Merciful on

    1 Urdu translator’s note

    2 Surah Momin (40): Verse 60 all, Concealer of all the defects and sins and Provider of peace and

    tranquillity to every freightened. He is such a Divine Personality that Hecreated humans from dust and blood and then provided the wombs of motheras shelter, who opened treasures of love and affection for them.

    O my Lord! I am unable to thank You for Your numerous bounties becauseYour beneficence are abundant whereas my gratitude is nothing. You are theOne Who made me aware of the light of knowledge and guidance after takingme out of darkness of ignorance. You are the One Who made me introducedthe Messengers and Prophets, whereas I am the one who falsified themsurrounded by infidelity and spuriousness. I would have perished had You notshowed Your Mercy upon me. Hence, I beseech You not to hold meaccountable for my sins. Due to my sins, I am ashamed before You, so Ibeseech You that

    ْیُم ِ ِلَك َی َك ْ ِمْلَن ِبَع َ َال ُتَع ِمْلَن ِبَفْضِلَك ِّ َع َ .Now the questions arises how to supplicate and what are the conditions of

    supplication through which they could be answered?At this point the Muslims of the world had to accept that we would have

    been dumb and speechless, had there not been the Ahlulbait (a.s.) and the HolyProgeny of the Infallible Imams (a.s.) who guided us how to supplicate. Theyare the symbols of action during all the ages for the human being and underthe shadow of their invocations, sinners and defaulters like us could be able toget the nearness of Allah, the High. The pure and chaste dispositions comingout of their holy tongue have the guarantee for the fulfilment of oursupplications.

    These are the infallible tongues who taught us the etiquette as how toaddress the Almighty Allah in the form of ‘Sahifa-e-Sajjadiyah’ and later on inthe form of ‘Sahifa-e-Razawiyyah’ of Imam Ali ibn Moosa al-Reza (a.s.)which are guiding us that there are certain observances and manners which

  • should be followed in order to get the ability of presentation in the DivineCourt.

    The said book ‘Sahifa-e-Razawiyyah’ is the rare collection of someetiquette, decorum and manners of supplications of invocations which hasbeen authored by Ayatullah Sayed Murtaza Mujtahedi Seestani and I, IrfanHaider, translated it into urdu from Persian language. But this gigantic taskcould not be done at my own, so first of all I am grateful to my Lord, theHigh, who awarded me the incentive to do this great work. I am also thankful to all my friends and relatives who helped me in thisnoble task. Especially my grand father Haji Khadim Husain Ja’fari Sahabwhose guidance helped me a lot in understanding the actual religiousknowledge. I can never be able to forget his obligation.

    I am also thankful to my parents whose favours and blessings alwaysshadowed me, at the same time to all my teachers, specially Janab MohammadJuma Asadi and Janab Akbar Husain Zaahedi Sahab. Due to his guidance Icould reach at this place and to my brothers Janab Imran Haider Shahid andAli Asadi whose love and affection always encouraged me a lot.

    For publishing this invaluable book, I am thankful to the manager of Jamea’Imam Sadiq (a.s.) and all the staff of Markaz-e-Tableeghat-o-Taaleemaat,especially manager Mr. Mushtaq Husain Imrani, Adeeb Ali, Amjad Husain,Zeeshan Mahdi, Ali Shah Naqvi, Abdul Hafeez and Mukhtar Husain Rahimi.

    Lastly, I pray to Almighty Allah that O Allah! Grant us the ability torecognize our Imam of the time (a.t.f.s.) and to pray for him. Aameen.

    And peace is on him who follows the guidance. Irfan Haider

    Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) as per numerical context.1 Everyday thousands of people in groups get the opportunity of visiting the

    Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) and are blessed by this sanctified mansion.Some of them enter in this glorious court well prepared in advance withsincerety and purity of heart. While some others, who could not achieve thisstatus, start their journey having been affected emotionally with dignity of thisholy place and continue their journey so as to reach to a friend of Allah(s.w.t.).

    A person can reach to a grand meaningful stage by restraining his heart andmake his heart a Divine Abode after entricating it out of all other things andpurify it from the love of others so as to reach the place of ‘Reza’ which is thebest place of pious-hearted persons. Under this situation he lives the thingwhich are liked by the Almighty Allah whether it be pain or antidote, union orseparation. Not only he should be agreeable with the Almighty Allah’s will buthe should be in accordance with whatever He want.

    Two Ziyaraat and Two ShrinesThose who acquire this stage it is as if they are reborn because their eyes

    and ears have opened and they have achieved a new life. And in this way theyhave got the bliss of this world and the hereafter. Their whole body isilluminated and they have acquired this light from the Holy Progeny of theHoly Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Not only this, but whatever is illuminated it gets itslight from the lights of infallible Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). Even the two sources oflight (sun and moon) are illuminated from the light of these holy personage.

  • Even the two brothers2 shining in the heights of the sky, get their illuminationthrough the gate of this holy progeny.

    This holy progeny is the source of light and illumination and when thesovereignty

    1 Here we will described the chapters equal to the number of fourteeninfallibles (a.s.).2 Two stars in the North Pole.

    of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) would be established, oppressions and darkness would beextinguished from this world. The days and nights would be illuminated fromthe light of the Holy Imam of the Age (a.t.f.s.). This holy progeny is not onlythe source of illumination but it is also the base of every goodness. If allpeople gather to enumerate the virtues and excellence of these holy personages(a.s.) that would not be more than two couplets.1

    Now after coming out of the introductions of these holy progeny we will

    elaborate about two visitations and two shrines. Somebody may be able to visitthe shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) by dint of his pure heartedness. This is alsopossible that somebody in order to purify his heart, from the contamination ofsins and to extricate the strangers from the shrine of Allah (s.w.t.) in his hearthe may be able to visit the light of the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) somewhereoutside the shrine. But this is also possible that it may be an observation.

    However, as we have said that whoever visits the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.)is blessed by his munificence and favours.

    Three items of natural growth2 (Mawaalid-e-Salaasah)Not only the human being is aware of the friendship and guardianship of the

    Holy Progeny of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) but every creature, whetherin the heights of the sky or under the layer of the earth is also aware. Even thethree natural growing items (i.e. animals, vegetables and minerals) accept thisfact. The Holy Ahlul Bait (a.s.), by this point, has presented their friendship

  • and guardianship over all the creatures of the Universe and also stated theknowledge of the minerals, vegetables and animals. Although the scholars ofthis age have been able to understand about the water and some other thingson which they are researching.

    Sometimes it so happens that a person visits the holy shrine of Imam Reza(a.s.) dressed in legally earned clothes and that dress, with the help of itsinanimate discernment, pays more attention towards Imam Reza (a.s.) incomparison with that person who is disturbed in thinking. Is it correct that ourdress is more attentive towards the Holy Imam (a.s.) in comparison toourselves who owns spirit and discernment?

    It is correct, that only the selected and chosen personage before Allah, theHigh, have got this ability and only they can create such circumstances whohave divorced this world thrice. But if we could comprehend about the dignityand eminence of Imam Reza (a.s.) before performing his ziyaarat and think inwhose court we are going to step in, it will affect the observance of theziyaarat.

    Four corners of the shrineTaking care of the dignity and magnificence of Imam Reza (a.s.) and

    comprehension of cognizance of his illuminated personality greatly affect theobservance of ziyaarat. As a result, the favours and munificence of Imam Reza(a.s.) over such a pilgrim is multiplied, which cannot be comprehended as thegenerosity and graciousness of the Holy Imam (a.s.) are unimaginable.

    The consideration of these precautions attracts more favours of Imam Reza(a.s.) then there is no value of having the knowledge about ‘Nisb-e-Arba’3 (four pedigrees), as there is no value of the saying of ‘Elal-e-Arba’(four causes)4. Aristotle and others, the power and force of Rustam Zaal andthe wealth of Khusro Parwez can’t become the provision for this path nor itcan attract the eternal favours of Imam Reza (a.s.). On certain occasions thepilgrim coming under the holy shelter of Imam Reza (a.s.) do not have eitherthe illuminated heart nor due knowledge and cognizance, or enough moneyand resources or anything else but on the basis of generosity of Imam Reza(a.s.) (which is unlimited) and due to certain reasons (which they themselvesknow) helps them and leave such an effect on his pilgrims that they start to seeall the four Bait al-Ma’moor (the house or mosque on fourth sky perpendicular

  • to Kabah) and converse with the Holy Imam (a.s.) as if he is seeing him. Allthe pilgrim should try to enable themselves to attract the favours and attentionof Imam Reza (a.s.).

    Five Treasures of Human BeingThe existence of human being is submerged in countless and priceless

    treasures. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:ِ ْلِفضَّ َ َهِب لَّ ِ ِ ُ َكَمَع ِ ُ َمَع َلنَّ

    1 Consists of four verse poem to express whole meaning.2 Inanimate objects, vegetables and animals.3 A pedigree is a diagram of a family history that shows relationshipbetween family members and their status with respect to a particular hereditarycondition.4 Aristotle held that there were four kinds of causes: (a) material cause, (b)formal cause, (c) efficient or moving cause and (d) final cause

    “People are the treasures like the treasures of gold and silver.”1 One should not waste the moments of leisure and time, instead one should

    get acquainted with these bounties with the Divine help and through themedium of Holy Five (a.s.) (Panjetan) and infallible Imams (a.s.) who havebeen placed in our existence by Almighty Allah. We should give value to thisshort span of life and also control our five senses which are called as fivetreasures which should be utilized for the pleasure of Almighty Allah so thatwe could be able to know about the treasures hidden in our selves.

    This is correct that all the inner self of all people are not equal. As theirappearance is different their conscience also differs, as per the famous proverb:

    ب نیستن ّم ب نگشت ب ہستن .پنج

    ‘Five fingers are brothers while they are not equal.’

  • However, the hidden treasure in every person contain internal senses andsecret powers which should be recognized and benefitted.

    The Ziyaarat of the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) is the best opportunityfor the honourable pilgrims while they should ask the Holy Imam (a.s.) for theawakening of their internal forces which could enable them to be successful inthe service of Holy Imam of Age (a.t.f.s.).

    Superior than a Royal PalaceNot only the walkers on the dust of this universe, who come in troops, are

    privileged by performing the ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) but differentcreatures of Allah – the High – from all the six directions, visit the DivineCourt of Imam Reza (a.s.) observing full decorum. Fortunate are the personswho perform Ziyaarat with perfection of faith, having control over theirmeditation and collecting their senses.

    Some of the pilgrims feel ashamed in coming near the holy grave of ImamReza (a.s.) and do not consider themselves to be able to attach with thismagnanimous mansion and they sit in a corner and remain busy in praying andcommunicating secretly. They take every corner of the holy shrine better than aroyal palace. Some of the pilgrims get ashamed when they could not touch theholy grave and think that their ziyaarat is not accepted.

    Some pilgrims visit the holy shrine for the fulfillment of their needs andseeking cure for their patients and are blessed by the munificence and favoursof Imam Reza (a.s.) and send salutations to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and hisHoly Progeny (a.s.) as a mark of gratitude. Thus, they make their faded facesand broken hearts delighted. Then whenever they go, they make the peoplelovers of Imam (a.s.) by telling them about the miracles of Imam Reza (a.s.).

    The loving and favourable sight of Imam Reza (a.s.) is reserved for bothtypes of pilgrims (having pure hearts) and their selves are illuminated by hismunificence.

    Seventh QiblahEveryday thousand of people, from all corners of the universe, having

    different cultures and decorum of pilgrimage, are privileged by visiting theseventh Qiblah. But Imam Reza (a.s.) bestows his pilgrims with his benignityand grandeur and saintly sight whether they come from neighbouring city orcoming from far off places facing innumerable sufferings. But this is clear that

  • all of them are not equal. Surely there is difference amongst the pilgrims whovisit the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) facing lots of troubles and those whocome having all the comforts. Although the gates of Hell are closed upon themand they are made to drink with seven streams of Heaven whose ziyaarat isaccepted by the holy Imam (a.s.).2

    But in spite of all this, all of them are not equal. Those who, after banishingall the worldly things like Ashaab-e-Kahf (People of Cave)3 and expelling allthe wrong doers and maintaining distance from the enemies, affiliatethemselves with Allah – the High – and infallible Imams (a.s.) become theirlovers, their status is far high in comparison to others. Such persons are dippedin the meaningful fragrance of sepulehre of Imam Reza (a.s.). For them, thereis no value of the seven wonders of the world only but of Venus – the star – ofthe sky.

    Eighth ImamA complete, strong and concentrated meditative state prove very much

    effective for ziyaarat as the dispersed senses and unconcentrated thoughtshinder complete concentration. Not only the sins but some physical activitiesas the disfunctioning stomach is also one of the causes of dispersed thinking.

    If someone would perform the ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) with actualconcentration and insight then all the eight gates of Paradise4 would be openedfor him and he will be able to stroll in all eight gardens of Paradise and forsuch perons there is no value of eight treasures of Khusro Parvez.

    Nine SkiesAs it is said earlier that the inhabitants of sky also stretch their feathers (fly

    high) and descend on the land of Toos leaving behind nine indigo heaven(sepehr neelee) and nine livid heaven (Taarim Kabood).5

    Tenth InfallibleThey perform the ziyaarat of tenth infallible – Hazrat Ali ibn Moosa al-Reza

    (a.s.) – and they kiss the dust of sepulehre of tenth infallible Imam (a.s.) likeall other creatures.

    Eleven Luminous Stars

  • Whoever performs the ziyaarat of Imam Ali ibn Moosa al-Reza (a.s.) havingfaith of his status of Imamat, also has faith on the Imamat of all other elevenImams (a.s.). Because there were some tribes in the old age of Shiite, who didnot had faith on other Imams (a.s.) after Imam Reza (a.s.), those tribes nolonger exists today.

    Twelfth ImamToday, whoever performs ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) having full faith in

    his Imamat, is Isna Ashari (twelver). They have faith in all the twelve Imams(a.s.) right from the Imamat of first Imam, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) – tilltwelfth Imam, Hazrat Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.). Whenever they get DivineGuidance, they go to perform the ziyaarat of all those holy personage.

    1 Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 61, pp. 65 & 1062 According to one narration the names of seven streams of Paradise are:Kausar, Camphor, Meem, Salsabeel, Tasneem, Moeen and Zanjabil.3 Names of Ashaab-e-Kahf: Amlikhius, Maximinyanius, Motyanius,Danius, Yanius, and Mertus.4 The eight gates of Paradise are pointed for the person possessing eightstatus. Their names are: Khuld, Daarus Salaam, Daarul Qaraar, Jannat-e-Adn,Jannatul Maawaa, Jannatun Naeem, Illiyyeen and Firdaus.5 Seven famous starts in ancient age were Zohra, Mushtari, Mirreekh wereconsidered as seven heavens and they had also belief in Falak-e-Atlas andFalak al-Aflaak and they were known as nine Aflaak (skies), nine indigo skiesand nine livid.

    Although people rush in troops to perform the ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) inthe months of Rajab, Zilqad and Safar in comparison to other months. But inspite of it, they perform ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) who is the Qiblah ofhearts and Kabah of desires and wishes in other months as well.

    Thirteen Times Guidance and Blessings

  • The honourable pilgrims should ponder on the point that they shouldperform the ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) with genuineness and sincerity. Andshould not take as a tourist place and Seezdah Badr1.

    Although, as per the Divine Islamic Laws, tourism is also necessary buthaving intention of travelling for the purpose of Seezdah Badr is a wastagewhich is being encouraged by the aliens.

    The figure of thirteen is not inauspicious so as to travel for keeping awayfrom the home. The Almighty Allah has used the word ‘inauspicious’ onlyonce in the Holy Quran but the words ‘hoda’ and ‘Rahmat’ (guidance andmercy) have been repeated thirteen times.

    It could be inauspicious when the pilgrim perform the ziyaarat as a fun tourtaking it as Divine Islamic laws. Such a visitation is absurd and inauspiciousunder the Islamic Divine Laws. But those who go for visitation taking withthem the provision of expectation avoiding the comforts of sea journey, theyare showered with the favours, love and unlimited blessings of Imam Reza(a.s.).

    Fourteen Infallible Imams (a.s.)For this reason we must try to avoid the un-islamic journey and should not

    displease the fourteen infallibles (a.s.) by doing unsincere ziyaarat.One should not neglect the important point that certain places and timings

    contain some special qualities, following which, many big difficulties can besuspended. Shab-e-Qadr (night of grandeur) and some other nights, days andmonths containing such specialities are very well known to all.

    It is said that there is such a time on the 14th of every month when theinvocations are answered. If this time is missed by someone, it is as if he haswasted a big leisure.

    In the same manner some places as the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.)contain enormous dignity and if we do not take into consideration itsgenuinity, we will waste this great opportunity. And we have not acted what isexpected from us by Almighty Allah and fourteen infallibles (a.s.).

    Etiquette of Ziyaarat of the Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.)The holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) is a resting place for all the creatures

    and shelter for his lovers and others. People from all parts of the universe are

  • fond of visiting this holy court and they wish to quench their thrist from the‘Saqqa Khaana’ (drinking place) of the holy shrine.

    Tears start to flow from the eyes on getting the permission for entry (Izn-e-Dokhool) for entering into the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) which becomesthe cause for increasing his love in the hearts.

    Visitors coming in this holy court by road or sea are blessed with Mercy ofAllah – the High – and everybody, big or small, favoured with the hospitalityin this garden of blissful empyrean.

    This holy land is the shelter for every person where everybody, whetherpious, distressed or perturbed are welcomed and meaningfully guided.

    When a visitor looks towards the beautiful dome of the holy shrine as if heabsorbs its attention and saying, he may learn the lesson of repentance aftersome meditation before visiting the holy shrine. Be careful from the cluthes ofsatanic sway and adopt piety at all times.

    The visitor should maintain satisfaction upon the blessings and kindnessshowered by Imam Reza (a.s.) and eulogise him demonstrating full faith andwith firm determination so that he could get the fruit of rewards in abundance.The name of the visitor who perform ziyaarat having its recognition andacquaintance is written from land till heaven amongst the supreme visitors ofImam Reza (a.s.).

    After getting the blessings and favours of Imam Reza (a.s.)’s shrine a placein the garden of his wilayat (guardianship) is reservered for the visitor and heis considered as a devoted pilgrim and then cover the journey from darkness toillumination in such a way that as soon as his eyes are closed (i.e. he dies), hewill get the refuge of all the fourteen infallible Imams (a.s.).

    While in the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.), one should recite glorificationof Allah – the High – and should pray for the early reappearance of Imam ofthe age (a.t.f.s.) and for his Universal Sovereignity so that we could getsalvation from wanderings and afflictions.

    The servants of the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) keep standing withfolded hands on their chest. The visitors rush in troops towards the holysepulehre of Imam Reza (a.s.) having different invocations in their hearts.

    May all the pilgrims pray for the early reappearance of Imam-e-Zamana(a.t.f.s.).

    The holy sepulehre (Zarih), bounded by an iron cage, is the shelter for theunsupported wayfarers. As soon as the visitors enter into it they invoke

  • secretly for getting the attachment with the holy Imam (a.s.) and every momentthey wait for acquiring the favours and blessings of Imam Reza (a.s.) so thatthey could leave the holy shrine after their prayers are fulfilled.

    The pilgrims perform the ziyaarat humbly, with sincerity of heart, zeal,enthusiasm and try that they could not be disturbed by the crowd and havingsincere attachment with Imam Reza (a.s.) and freeing themselves from theclutches of silver and gold (wealth), keep themselves busy in the remembranceof Almighty Allah and store the provision for the hereafter.

    The ziyaarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) guides the pilgrims towards a pleasantspirit by serving the human being and self purification and self adoration withsincerity.

    The pilgrim of the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) does not give any value towealth and ornaments as there is no value of the actions of hypocrite. Thecheerful-hearted pilgrims who, while sitting in the boat of wilayat(guardianship) in the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) shed tears, attract the mercifulattention of the holy Imam (a.s.).

    All the pilgrims in the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) get equal treatmentwhether he could be a commander of an army or a ruler of a country or acommon man.
