Who else could be more entitled to this divine grace and unique privilege than the apostles of God, more particularly the Last one, the chief of them, and those who have surrendered their lives in the way of the Lord like Husain and his faithful comrades who were martyred along with him.

The point is that to one who sincerely seeks to know the truth, a straight answer, with the simplest logic, will certainly suffice, but to one who wants to go on arguing merely for argument's sake, even the apostles from God could not satisfy. No amount of arguing will be of any avail when the understanding is never to come at all from within the enquirer. One can give an argument but never an understand- ing.

The Houses of Miracles and response to Prayers LET THE MATERIALIST world know from the millions of the devoted muslims, who have visited the Shrines in Iraq and other holy places, how brightly the Glory of God shines in the shrines of Husain and the members of his holy family and also of his faithful com- rades who sacrificed their lives along with him in Karbala.

Even today the holy name 'ABBAS' is a watchword for millions and millions of his sincere devotees for the immediate and miraculous rescue needed, in any unavoidable risk or danger.

Where is the wonder for one who surrenders himself to God, God will also surely honour his name when mentioned in any prayer to Him. God Himself enjoins on man to seek a medium unto Him:- "Seek ye a medium untO Him (God)." 5:35 It is the disbelievers who get hopeless of their dead. Be it noted that the 'Kalema' or the Word of the Declaration of the Faith 'Shia'ism', is only :- " Lailaha Illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah." 'There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the (Holy) Prophet of God.' Previous…
