The will of mashhad mashallah
The will of Mashhad Mashallah
Mashhadhi was a Twelver Shia.
Not from those who used to recite zikr from night to morning
One of those who worked from morning to night.
He paid insurance premiums for thirty-five years.
He was a simple worker in a metal workshop
His hands still smelled of burnt oil
When he got the pension book
One morning, after prayer
He said to himself:
A wise person should also think about his death.
He went to Beheshtzahra first.
He said: How many graves?
they said
It depends where it is
Do you want two-story or single-story?
Shady or sunny
old or new
Heard the prices
His smile froze
grave
It started from a few meters
But the size did not matter
They were all one meter by two meters
The classes were different
Classes of people too.
He went to the shroud.
He said: Give simple pants.
they said
We don't have simple
This one has a verse
That one's name is Fourteen Masoum
That one is a guarantee of intercession.
Prices went up by the number of words.
Mashadhi said mashallah under his breath
So who is speechless?
I have nothing to do with God.
He himself knows everything.
[didn't have]
He went to the local mosque
For the third ceremony
The servant of the mosque told the price.
It started from twenty five million.
The mosque itself was old
But the account is new.
Mashadhi, Mashallah, come back home.
He poured tea.
He called the children.
said:
i died
do not shroud me
Do not bathe
Do not take a mosque
Do not buy a grave.
If it is
Leave me at home.
If not
Throw it in the big trash can at the end of the street
Maybe the municipality collected me for free.
One of the children started crying.
Mashhadhi Mashallah said:
don't cry
We were not driven from God's door
We were driven by the prices.
that night
He did not understand that dying in this country
It has been classified for years
Just understand
for some
Even death is temporary.
