Appendix: The Prophet’s Advice To Abu Dharr

‘Ain-Al Hayat عين الحياة The book begins with the biographical
descriptions of some of the truest Companions of The Prophet (S),
namely, Salman Farsi, Abu Dharr Ghifari and Miqdad Al-Aswad. Then in
each chapter he picks up various themes related to the Existence of
Allah SWT, His creation of the universe, the angels, His Attributes,
Prophethood, followed by Imamah, The Day of Judgment, the value and
rewards of good deeds etc. Allama Majlisi elaborates upon the aqaeed
(tenets of beliefs) in their various ramifications and shows us how to
attain total devotion to Allah SWT. One chapter is devoted to the
benefits of reciting The Quran as a whole and verses from various
chapters. There is also very good advice about dealing with rulers and
about helping one’s brethren in faith, examples from the lives of Imam
Husain (as) and Imam Zaynul Abideen (as) as well as supplications to be
recited after each salaat and before going to bed. Negative behavioral
traits that show the degree of one’s belief and faith are listed and
discussed. These include, inter alia, lying, greed, backbiting, false
allegations, pride etc. The book also includes various supplications to
be recited after each prayer, especially the tasbeeh and its merits. The
book concludes with The Prophet’s Will concerning Abu Dharr, the most
truthful person.
