A hard-working man acquired a barren piece of land outside of town and decided to dig a well there with hopes of finding water. After many days of digging under the hot sun with no results, he continued digging with vigor and the ground suddenly split open, revealing fresh, clear water. Pleased with his discovery, the man endowed the well and surrounding land as a charity to help the poor, travelers, orphans, and those in need of medical care. The generous man was revealed to be Imam Ali, the successor to Prophet Muhammad.
1) A study measured the range of motion of joints during Muslim prayers (salat), which are performed 5 times daily. Using a goniometer, the active ranges of motion of involved joints were examined at different postures.
2) Specific postures like raising arms parallel to ears increases blood flow to lymph nodes and arm muscles. Bowing at a 90 degree angle (ruku) helps control back problems and develops flexibility. Kneeling (sajdah) benefits brain, lungs, and the entire spine through proper blood flow and stimulation of glands.
3) Prayers provide physical, mental and spiritual benefits through their motions, postures, and sequences. They help address issues like depression,
This verse discusses the significance of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) being sent as a messenger. It notes that for approximately 600 years between Jesus and Muhammad, no messenger was sent, which was a period of interval without divine guidance. This refers specifically to the people of Mecca, who were descendants of Ishmael, not receiving a prophet or book to guide them after Abraham and Ishmael until the arrival of Muhammad. Therefore, Muhammad's role was as an important warner to remind people of God's message, since the previous scriptures had been revealed to descendants of Isaac rather than Ishmael.
1) The document discusses the Islamic concept of Tawhid, which is the oneness of God. It states that Tawhid means believing that Allah is one and has no partners, children, or anything comparable to Him.
2) The opposite of Tawhid is Shirk, which means believing that Allah has partners, sons or daughters. Shirk involves worshipping anything besides Allah. Shirk is considered the greatest sin in Islam.
3) The document explains that all humans are born with a natural instinct called Fitrah to believe in one God. However, people may be influenced by their parents and society to ignore Fitrah or follow other religions. It provides examples to illustrate why belief in one God

1. It has been narrated by Abul Abbas al-Taleqani - on the authority of his father, on
the authority of his grandfather, on the authority of Al-Rabi’a - the companion of
al-Mansoor,
Once Imam Jaffar Al-Sadiq (as) was summoned by Al-
Mansoor, the Abbassid ruler of the time.
There was an Indian doctor reading out aloud from a
book about medicine.
Imam (as) listened to him. And when the Indian doctor
finished, he asked the Imam :
O jaffar! Do you want me to teach you medicine?
2. Imam As-Sadiq (as) replied, ‘No. Since what I know is better than what
you know.’
• The Indian doctor said, ‘What do you know?’
3. Imam Sadiq(as): What I know is from Allah, I
take nothing but from Allah Almighty. So tell me,
who has more knowledge in medicine, me or
you?
• Doctor: No, I have more knowledge.
5. Imam Sadiq(as):tell me, why is the head made
into different parts and not one piece?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam sadiq’s (as) answer: The skull is made of several pieces
since it is hollow. It would break up, if it was not made up of
several pieces. It lasts longer since it is made up of several
pieces.
6. Imam Sadiq (as): why is the hair on top of the head?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: There is hair on top of the skull
so that the oil from the base of the hair can reach the brain,
and evaporation can take place from the tips of the hair to
let off the heat of the brain.
7. Imam Sadiq(as):tell me, why does the forehead not have any
hair, but it is lined?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: There is no hair on the forehead so that light can reach the
eyes. There are lines and wrinkles on the forehead to block the sweat from the head, so
that it doesn’t reach the eyes long enough for one to wipe it off. It is similar to the river
beds on the Earth which hold the water.
8. Imam Sadiq (as): why are the eyebrows located above the eyes?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: eyebrows are placed above
the eyes to control the amount of light that reaches
the eyes.
9. Imam Sadiq (as): why are the eyes shaped like the
almonds?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The two eyes are shaped like almonds so
that drops of medication can stay in them and not fall off.
10. Imam Sadiq (as): why is the nose located in between the two eyes?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: O doctor! Have you not noticed that
when there is too much light, people hold their hand above
their eyes so as to limit the amount of light which reaches the
eyes. The nose is placed in between the two eyes so as to
equally divide the light into them.
11. Imam Sadiq(as):why is the opening of the nose at its bottom?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The holes in the nose are located beneath it, so that
the waste stuff from can leave the skull through it and the smell of things can
be sensed by it. If the holes were placed above it neither could the waste stuff
leave the skull nor could you smell anything.
12. Imam Sadiq(as):why are the moustache and lip above the mouth?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: A lip and the moustache are placed
above the mouth so as to hold the waste stuff leaving the skull
through the nose and so as not to pollute the food and drinks
13. Imam Sadiq(as): of the teeth, why are the incisors
sharp, and the molars wide, and the canines tall?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The front teeth are sharp to make it easier to
bite and chew. The grinding teeth are wide so that it is easier to break
down the food which we chew and the canine teeth are high to reinforce
the grinding teeth just as pillars which are used in buildings.
14. Imam Sadiq(as): Why are the nails and the hair not alive?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The nails and the hair are not alive,(don’t have any
pain sensors) since they look awkward when they grow and they look better
when they are trimmed or cut. However, if they were alive one would feel pain.
15. Imam Sadiq (as): why are the palms free of hair?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: There is no hair on the palm of the
hands so that one can feel what he touches with them. Were there
any hair on the palms of the hands, nothing could be felt by
touching
16. Imam Sadiq (as): why is the heart like the pine seed?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The heart is shaped like a pine seed because
it is upside-down. Its top is narrower so that it can fit on between the
lungs, and the lungs cool it, while it pumps and the brain doesn’t burn
out due to heat.
17. Imam Sadiq (as): Why do the lungs have two divisions which
move in place?’
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The lungs have been made in two divisions which
move in place so that it may encompass the heart and get cooled with its
beating.
18. Imam Sadiq (as): Why is the liver curved?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The liver is curved so that it may encompass the
stomach with its weight placed on the stomach in order that the stomach’s
vapors may leave it.
19. Imam Sadiq (as): why do the knees bend backwards?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: The two legs bend the way
they do, since we normally walk forward and our
movements are balanced. Were it otherwise, we
would fall down when we walked.
20. Imam Sadiq (as): why is the foot not flat?
Doctor: I don’t know
Imam Sadiq’s (as) answer: Our feet are curved, since once we step on
the ground we do not feel all the weight. This is similar to a millstone. If
a millstone is placed on its round edge even a child can turn it.
However, if it falls on the ground even a strong man cannot move it.’
21. The Indian doctor asked, ‘Where did you
learn this knowledge from?’
As-Sadiq (as) replied, ‘I learned these
from my forefathers who had learned it
from Prophet Muhammad(as). The
Prophet had learned it from archangel
Jibrail who had learned it from ALLAH
(swt )the Lord of the Worlds - may His
Majesty be Exalted, who created the body
and the soul.’
22. The doctor said, ‘You are right. I
bear witness that there is no
god but God and Muhammad is
God and His servant and you
are the most knowledgeable
man of your time.’”
