Introduction

How would you feel if you were told in a dream that a great scholar reached the heights of paradise not because of his knowledge, nor his students but because of one simple, consistent act of devotion?

This episode unveils a dream seen by a righteous jurist, revealing the eternal rewards of Ziyarat e Ashura.

✨ The Miracle

The pious and just jurist, Sheikh Mashkoor Arabi, a revered scholar and prayer leader from Najaf, narrated this extraordinary dream.

> “It was the night of 26th Safar, 1336 AH.
I saw Angel Azrael (A.S) in my dream.”

After offering salam, Sheikh asked him:
> “Where are you coming from?”

Azrael replied:
> “I have just returned from Shiraz, where I took the soul of Mirza Ibrahim Mehlati.”

The Sheikh asked:
> “How is he now in the Barzakh (afterlife)?”

Azrael replied:
> “He is in the best of states, in one of the most beautiful gardens of Barzakh.
Allah has appointed 1,000 angels to serve him, who carry out his commands.”

The Sheikh further asked:
> “Was it due to his high level of knowledge, or because he taught many students?”

Azrael said:
> “No.”

He asked again:
> “Was it due to his regular congregational prayers or religious preaching?”

Azrael again replied:
> “No.”

Finally, Sheikh asked:
> “Then what was the reason for his exalted status?”

Azrael responded:
> “Because of his dedication to Ziyarat e Ashura.”

For the last 30 years of his life, Mirza Ibrahim never missed the recitation of Ziyarat e Ashura.
And if ever he was ill or delayed for any reason, he would make it up later without fail.

Confirming the Dream:

The next day, Sheikh went to the home of Ayatollah Mirza Muhammad Taqi Shirazi and narrated the dream. Upon hearing it, the Ayatollah began weeping.

When asked why, he replied:

> “Mirza Mehlati has indeed passed away… He was a pillar of Islamic jurisprudence.”

People were surprised and said, “But the Sheikh saw this only in a dream, how can it be true?”

Ayatollah Shirazi replied:
> “Even though it’s a dream it is a dream of Sheikh Mashkoor, not just any ordinary person.”

The very next day, a telegram arrived from Shiraz confirming Mirza Mehlati’s death
proving the truth of the dream and the miraculous status granted by Ziyarat e Ashura.

Spiritual Reflection

This story proves a profound truth: consistency in sincere worship is more valuable than grand public deeds.

Mirza Mehlati wasn’t rewarded for status, but for his private, committed recitation of Ziyarat e Ashura.
