There was a man who lived in the city of Mashhad,
whose economic condition was not good. However, he
decided that he must do something for the life hereafter,
so that the act of charity would continue benefiting
him even after his death. He therefore decided to
collect money to build a Husseiniyya or a place where
religious functions can be conducted.
He started collecting money, and this was at a slow
pace as many people did not trust him. He faced a
lot of blames and mistrust. After some time he managed
to collect and get a Husseiniya built in the name
of Prophet (s.a.w.w.). He didn't stop here and decided
to go on to build another Husseiniya in the name of
Imam Ali (a.s.), Imam Hassan (a.s.), till he managed
to complete fourteen such Husseiniyas in the name
of our fourteen Masooms from the progeny of our Prophet
(s.a.w.w.).
What is the difference between this man and us except
for having a great determination and will power!
