9. Elevated Places - Surah Araaf (7): Verse 46

وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيمَاهُمْ

“And between the two there shall be a veil, and on the most elevated places there shall be men who know all by their marks”* *

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) was asked concerning the above verse of Holy Quran, he (a.s.) replied – it is a wall between Heaven and Hell, upon it is Mohammad (s.a.w.a.), Ali (a.s.), Hasan (a.s.), Husain (a.s.), Janabe Fatima Zahra (s.a.) and Khadijatul Kubra (s.a.). They will call, where are those who loved us? Where are our followers? They will go towards them. They will recognize them by their names and the names of their father, this is the meaning of His saying, who know all by their marks they will take them by their hands and they will enter Paradise. ¹
