Joyous is he the one who was blessed with the courage to spend life in contentment.
He brought knowledge and obedience as much as he could afford with his means.
It is the love of Muhammad and his household, it is with their love intercession is hoped.

Sayyid Muḥammad Ḥusayn Jalālī
(Translated by Dr. Ahmed Audi)
Success in Life is measured by attempts to acheive the goal, for obtacles on the road are unpredictable. My mission is to serve the under-class literature, for which I do not recall wasting any time in my life.

Our Lord send the blessings of our prayer to the soul of our deceased, your guest. You are the best host.
Our Lord, we know his goodness, and you know him the best.
Our Lord, whatever good deeds he has done, increase them, and whatever mistakes he has made, forgive him.
Our Lord, place him among the righteous people .
Our Lord, forgive us, our parents and those who have helped us. Forgive the believers, all Muslims, male and female.
Our Lord, help us to continue the good deeds we have shared.
You are the one who answers the prayers and fulfils the needs, indeed you are powerful over everything and able to answer our prayer.
