Treatment using name Ash-Shaheed

Meaning

Ash-Shaheed means the Witness, the Ever-Present: the One who observes everything and is a witness over all things.

Understanding the Name

Allah is present with His knowledge everywhere and witnesses every act, word and intention. “And Allah is, over all things, a Witness” (Al-Ahzab 33:55). On the Day of Judgement He will be the witness of every deed, and no denial will help anyone.

A person who knows that Ash-Shaheed is watching becomes truthful in his testimony and honest in his dealings, and he feels comforted when others misunderstand him, because his Witness knows the truth.

Effects and reflections

The highest level of love is reached by the martyr (shaheed), who gives his very life. There are three ways of practising love: to admire true beauty; to adorn one’s character, influencing others by one’s virtues and so beautifying both oneself and others; and to spread love and become lovable by developing good qualities, so that love becomes complete and perfect, without any gaps.

Good character stands between the witness and the truth.

Treatment (Amal)

One should regard Allah as ever-present and recite “Yā Shahīd” abundantly; Insha’Allah, great virtue will grow in him. Whoever recites it 300 times after every prayer will, Insha’Allah, be raised in rank by Allah.
