My beloved mother
Homa Samii
My life is barren without your love
Enlighten your homes by recitation of the Glorious Qur'an...Goodness prevails and blessing spreads in a house where the Noble Qur’an is read very often. Such a house illuminates for the celestial inhabitants as the stars shine for the terrestrial beings. (1)
A house in which the Glorious Qur’an is recited and the name of God the Exalted is frequently mentioned shall be a very blessed home. Angels will be present in it and satans shall be far from it. Such houses radiate for the divine residents as stars shine for the inhabitants of the earth. And the house in which the Noble Qur’an is not read and the name and remembrance of the Almighty God is not uttered, is desecrated. Angels keep away from and satans keep presence in these homes.(2)
