One believer relates that he saw in his dream that he was talking to the angel who keeps record of the people who are going to enter heaven. He asked the angel about a famous scholar called Seyyid Hassan Shirazi who was assassinated by the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein, the ruler of Iraq in the year 1980 in Beirut.

The Angel looked in his records as the believer described Seyyid Hassan Shirazi to be a scholar who was of great faith, who had built a Hauza in Syria, as well having established so many projects. The Angel did not seem to find the name of Seyyid Shirazi, so the believer urged him to look at the list of authors who have written Islamic books. The believer mentioned the names of the books which Seyyid Shirazi had written: the like of Kalimatullah, Kalimatul - Rasool, Kalimatul Imam Hassan and Kalimatul Imam Mahdi. Despite all the references given still the angel found it hard to find the name of Seyyid Shirazi amongst the people going to Paradise.

Finally after renting his brain the believer mentined that Seyyid Shirazi was also a poet who had written many poems in honor of Imam Hussein (A.S.). This is when the angel looked into the list of poets and finally found the name of Seyyid Shirazi. (QASAS WAL KHAWATIR PAGE 4O4)

All this shows that the service rendered in the way of Imam Hussein (A.S.) is of high value. Any small act; be it serving water, reciting a poem in the way of Hussein can take us so far.

It is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) says that: "Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein".

He also said that: "Hussein is the boat that saves you, and a lamp that guides you".

He also said that: "The blood of Hussein is warmth for the hearts of the believers which never cools".

"The one who respects the signs of Allah then that is from fear or Taqwa". (AL HAJ VERSE 32)
