Pearl of Wisdom

when asked by Hisham b. al-Hakam about the reason behind the prohibition of usury, replied, 'Were usury to be permissible, people would abandon their trading and other necessities, so Allah prohibited usury in order that man may flee from the unlawful [means of earning] to trade, and resort to buying and selling, and this in turn facilitates borrowing from each other.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Bihar al-Anwar, v. 103, p. 119, no. 24

Question : #513 Category: Death Issues
Subject: Can the dead see us?
Question: Can those who have passed away see us? I used to think they could and I would take encouragement from the fact that my grandma can see me. It motivated me to do what would have pleased her. And gave me comfort. But recently I found out that they can’t see us. Is that true?
Answer: Only with Allah's permission can the deceased hear us or see us for that matter.

According to the Holy Quran, Prophet Salih spoke to the dead of his nation after they were destroyed. See (7:77-79). Also see Prophet Shuaib's (7:91-93).

You should feel more motivated that your Grandma is with her Lord, as Imam Jafar Sadiq says "The souls of the believers will be in chambers in Paradise, eating of its food and drinking its drink, and visiting one another, saying, 'Oh Lord! Bring the Final Hour, so that you may fulfill what You promised us."
