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.

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.
A person who wears 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. The Imam asked the Prophet as to whom the Muqarrabeen
were, to which the Prophet replied Janabe Jib reel and Janabe Mikaiel.
Then the
Imam inquired as to which stone he should wear. The prophet replied Aqeeq, as this red stone had accepted the Oneness of Allah, the Prophet Hood
of the lat Prophet, and the vicegerent of Ali ibne Abi Talib. Imam Ali ibne
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 Surat 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.”
Why Wear Feroza. Feroza is a beautiful stone
which is found in Tibet, China, Australia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Turkistan,
Afghanistan, but the best has been mined in Iran for
over 5000 years in Ali-Mersai mountain range of Nishapur, Mashhad of Khorasan
province. Tradition states the mines of Nishapur, in northeastern Iran,
described in 1300 AD as having belonged to Isaac, son of Abraham. In Iran, Feroza is
called “Feroza”, which translated means “victory”. It is Iran’s national
gemstone. It is believed that the first specimens of Feroza to which the
Europeans were exposed probably came from Iran
via trading posts in Turkey.
The best of Iranian Feroza is rich blue, with fewer matrixes than most Feroza
mined elsewhere. It is also distinguished by white patches. Feroza is never a
hard mineral, but Iranian Feroza is usually harder than Feroza mined in other
locations. The Persians classified Feroza into three quality groups: · Angostura.
This is first quality, suitable for the finest jewelry. These stones had the
rich blue “Persian Feroza” color with little marking or matrix. Barkhaneh.
This is second-quality Feroza, much like Angushtari but with more markings and
matrix. Arabic. These stones were considered third-rate due to a pale blue or
green shade or unwanted speckles. Spots in Persian Feroza tend to be white,
not black.
The benefits of Feroza: It helps to create joy in the heart. It
helps improve eyesight, the brain & the heart. Feroza gives strength to the
eyes, expands the breast, and strengthens the heart. Whenever a momin goes for
some work with Feroza ring on his finger, his work is done. The great philosopher,
Aristotle, said Feroza helps to create humbleness & pity for others and is
good for diabetics. It protects from the stings of scorpions, snakebites,
lightening & drowning. The Holy Prophet, Imam Ali & Imam Musa e Kazim
wore a Feroza Ring. The Holy Prophet said that Allah does not turn down
the prayer of one who wears Feroza. Tradition says Imam Musa e Kazim says
that a Feroza stone was brought by Jib-rail as a gift from heaven to the Holy Prophet.
The Prophet had passed it to Ali and it had come down to him through his Holy
line of ancestors.
