Original Arabic

اللّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيم

Transliteration of Arabic

Here is a normal phonological transcription: al-lāhu lā ilāha illā huwa l-ḥayyu l-qayyūmu lā taʾḫuḏuhu sinätu-n wa lā nawmu-n lahu mā fī s-samawāti wa mā fī l-arḍi man ḏā llaḏī yašfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi iḏnihi yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā ḫalfahum walā yuḥīṭūna bi šayʾi-n min ʿilmihi illā bi mā šāʾa wasiʿa kursiyuhu s-samawāti wa l-arḍa walā yaʾuduhu ḥifẓuhumā wa huwa l-ʿaliyyu l-ʿaẓīm.

Phonetic assimilation (tajweed) is left unmarked, since it is completely regular and predictable. In this respect, the Arabic of the Qur'an is no different than any other language. Qur'anic tajweed has nasal sounds and conditioned lengthening that do not exist in modern Arabic phonetics.

The 6th Imam, Ja~far as-Sadiq has said:

لَمَّا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ أَنْ يَهْبِطْنَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ تَعَلَّقْنَ بِالْعَرْشِ وَ قُلْنَ أَيْ رَبِّ إِلَى أَيْنَ تُهْبِطُنَا إِلَى أَهْلِ الْخَطَايَا وَ الذُّنُوبِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ أَنِ اهْبِطْنَ فَوَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَا يَتْلُوكُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ فِي دُبُرِ مَا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ إِلَّا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِعَيْنِيَ الْمَكْنُونَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ نَظْرَةً أَقْضِي لَهُ فِي كُلِّ نَظْرَةٍ سَبْعِينَ حَاجَةً وَ قَبِلْتُهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ هِيَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ أُولُوا الْعِلْمِ وَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ آيَةُ الْمُلْكِ

“When Allah, the Noble and Grand, commanded the verse (mentioned at the end of this tradition) to descend down to the Earth, they (the verses) attached themselves to the Throne (of Allah) and said, ‘O Lord! Where are you sending us to? Are you sending us to a place of [the People of] transgressions and sins?’ Allah, the Noble and Grand, revealed to them (the verses), ‘Go down as I swear by My Greatness and My Majesty that not a single person from amongst the progeny of Muhammad and their followers (Shia) shall recite you after that which I have made obligatory upon them (the five canonical prayers) every day except that I will glance at them with a special glance with My eyes seventy times every day and with every glance, I will fulfill seventy of their desires and I will accept (their supplications) even though they have sins (on their record) and these verses will make up the basis of The Book (Ummul Kitab – meaning Suratul Hamd) and the verse, ‘Allah bears witness that there is no other entity worthy of worship except for Him and so do the angels (bear witness to this) and so do those who possess knowledge’ [Q. 3:18] and Ayatul Kursi and the verse of dominion, ‘Say: To Allah belongs the Kingdom…’ [Q. 3:26].”

Why Wear Aqeeq:

Aqeeq is a very special stone in the Islamic religion. It is also revered in other religions, and has been in use from the time of Adam . Aqeeq is available in different colors. White, milky white, yellow, green, black, red, and gray.

The best are the liver colored from Yemen, which are very expensive and difficult to obtain.

The benefits of Aqeeq are that it creates joy in the heart and is good for the eye sight and it helps eliminate sadness and anger. It absorbs the rays of the sun and passes these onto the body and is good for your health, aids in overcoming flaws, fears, and loneliness and it gives a sense of strength and courage.

Traditions state that there are mountains of Aqeeq in Heaven.These mountains shade the palaces of Holy Prophet Bibi fatima & Imam Ali & are forever praising & glorifying Allah (swt).

A person who wear an Aqeeq will derive its benefits, his sustenance (rizq) will be increased & he will be protected from dangers, black magic, disaters, misfortunes and accidents.It will also be a protection for him/her in frightening and terrifying circumstances, like facing the oppression & enemy.

· The Holy Prophet of Islam Rasooallah has said whoever wears Aqeeq his wishes will be fulfilled. A hadith from Janabe Salman Farsi states that the last Prophet requested Imam Ali to wear a ring on the right hand so that he may be listed among the Muqarrabeen (those near to Allah). The Imam asked the Prophet as to whom the Muqarrabeen were, to which the Prophet replied Janabe Jibreel and Janabe Mikaiel. Then the Imam inquired as to which stone he should wear. The prophet replied Aqeeq (cornelian), as this red stone had accepted the Oneness of Allah, the Prophethood of the lat Prophet, and the vicegerency of Ali ibne Abi Talib.

· Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb has said wear Aqeeq on your rings, you will be blessed and will be saved from afflictions.

· Imam Jaffar e Sadiq has said that a prayer with Aqeeq is 40 times better than one without.

· Imam Musa e Kazim said that it’s a great sawab to use tasbih of Aqeeq.

· Imam Muhammad Taqi stated that Aqeeq takes away poverty and dissolves differences in ones heart.

· Imam Muhammad Baqar has stated that if a person possesses a ring set in Aqeeq and turns in towards his palm and then looks at it, and recites Surah Qadr (chapter 97), then Allah keeps him protected the whole day from trouble, wherever they are descended from heaven or earth and he will be protected until the evening by Allah, and Allah’s friend who will guide him.

· Imam Reza has said “Whoever wears a ring with an Aqeeq on it, firstly he will not become needy and secondly what God has destined for him, will be good.”
