Imam Mahdi’s Great Birthday Anniversary

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Imam Mahdi’s Great Birthday Anniversary


Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of Imam Mahdi (May the Almighty Allah advent his return) who is our live Imam. Such a birthday has been concurrent with a great day which has been appreciated since the time of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), and thus, has added to the value of this day. Further to celebrating this event which is a must for a true Shia, some other activities have been recommended by Ahl al-Bait as well, which includes full ablution (qasal), vigil and visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) or reciting Ziaarat Ashuraa. Further items have been well mentioned in Mafaatih ul-Jinaan. The night of 15th of Sha’baan is a special night as well, as Imam Sadiq (PBUH) has narrated from his father, Imam Baqir (PBUH), that such night is the greatest after the Night of Qadr, and great Mersey of the Almighty Allah will be flowing.

Now, just imagine we are approaching to such a birthday; birthday of a person who is the reason of life, who is the connection between the Almighty Allah and anything else, who is God’s only survivor, who is our only saviour, who is the only infallible in the Universe, and many others… So, what is our duty for his birthday anniversary?

Our Shia lovely friends in Liverpool have worked hard to arrange for a memorable programme at Liverpool Towhid Centre. The event will be celebrated on the birthday anniversary of Imam Mahdi (PBUH), Tuesday, 27 July 2010. The programme starts at 8 pm with a ziaarat (probably Aali Yaasin) followed by lecture, mowludi, group prayers and supper, ending at 10.30 pm. The venue of the programme is as follows.

Cochrane St
Heyworth St
Liverpool   L5 4LJ

For further information about the address, you may try the post of 10 Feb 2010 or simply visit the Contact Us page of the web site of Liverpool Towhid Centre. Parking is available on site, and those using bus should take bus No. 17 from Queen Square Bus Station.

Another event will be held at Manchester Islamic Institute on Monday, 26 July 2010. The event will start at 7.30 pm and it looks that there is no end limit for it. The programme includes Holy Quran recitation, game, lecture, mowludi both with experts and kids, lecture and a clip show from the first MII-arranged Omrah journey which was performed recently. Just as a tradition of MII when holding big programmes, please send the number of the people attending the programme to mii_cs@yahoo.co.uk. MII has been located on the address below:

Quran Recitation

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Quran Recitation Gifted to Imam Mahdi (May the Almighty Allah Hasten His Advent)


Dear faithful brothers and sisters,

Hope you enjoy minutes of Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam, the month of the Messenger of Allah. Probably, further to the spiritual position of this months preceding holy Ramadan which could interpret its relation the Prophet, five of the Prophet’s sons have been born in this month to give this honour to the sons of Adam Abu-ul-Bashar (PBUH) concurrency of life with the purposes of the whole creation. We have just passed three outstanding birthday anniversaries of three VIPs of Karbala, are waiting for another one of them and to another birthday anniversary which relates to a person whose movement will direct the world finally, and this will, by the will of God, take place in a near future.

To highlight this, and to gain best of ours from these moments, Essa, one of LSS members, has planned a full round recitation of Quran to be gifted to Imam Mahdi (PBUH) with the hope of pleasing him. Those who are interested to assist him and contribute in getting their share of this great work should text their interest to Essa on 07747786812. If you are intending a particular part (joz’) of Quran to recite, mention it in your text message, and that will be taken subject to availability. Otherwise, Essa will inform you which part you would better to recite to complete the circle. Since this decision was made in the afternoon of July 17th, 15 parts of Quran were quickly taken until midnight. Those who cannot text Essa can leave a comment on the post. The comments will be dealt with as soon as possible to assign the parts. Please note that reciting the part assigned to you must be accomplished before Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam 15th.

May the Almighty Allah hasten the advent of our Imam (PBUH), gift mutually your gifts to His Hojjah, and make the lovely heart of our Imam (PBUH) happy with us.

Let’s pray for each other, for the faithful men and women either passed away or alive, and for visiting our Imam (PBUH) with a smile on his bright face very soon.

Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Sha’baan, the Month of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF)


Sha’baan, as the month of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), has  just started offering its boons and blessing to people, and we are to get our benefits out of this opportunity. In summary, let’s try the duas of Sha’baan, whispering with the Almighty Allah and invocation, as such opportunities may not be obtainable again. Let’s keep praying for our brothers and sisters, and more importantly, for the advent of our Imam, al-Hujjah (PBUH).

Sha’baan has got another meaning; Holy Ramadan is approaching. We are supposed to prepare ourselves for Ramadan from now, as that feast is not missable. LSS would be heartily thankful if you could send your ideas about how LSS could be of more benefit during Holy Ramadan to <info@liverpool-shia.com>. Your ideas are highly appreciated and will be considered and dealt with extra care. We are looking forward to receiving your ideas in this regard.

The programme commences by 8 pm lasting until 10 pm on Thursday 15th of July 2010. The programme will be more interesting when Hamed has just been back from Omra. The programme is going to be held in the place of MII with the following address:

Demise Anniversary of Sayyeda Zainab Kobra (PBUH)

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Condolence on Demise Anniversary of Sayyeda Zainab (PBUH)


Sayyeda al-Suqraa, Umm ol-Masaaib are the attributes of a great lady whose name will last for ever not merely in the history of Islam but in the history of mankind. Named as Zainab Kobra (the Great Zainab) (PBUH), she was truly a pride for her father, the Commander of the Believers, Amir al-Mo’meneen (PBUH), an absolute follower of her mother, the Great Lady Fatima (PBUH), in abiding the imam of her time.

Further to all these parental issues, she was the carrier of the message of the Ashuraa and her imam, Imam Hussain (PBUH), and confidently, without such supporters, Ummaids (CBOT) would have buried the massage of Imam Hussain. Therefore, one can find her an unrivalled follower of her imam.

We all hope take her life style as lessons for ourselves.

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful


Birthday Anniversary of the Commander of the Believers, Imam Ali (PBUH)


Days and days, we have been waiting since the last year on the birthday anniversary of Imam Ali (PBUH), where all prayed and requested to the Almighty Allah, who mysteriously opened His Ka’ba in the respect of the birth of the Commander of the Believers, to grant us another opportunity of celebrating such great man’s birthday anniversary. And here it is approaching us on 26th of June.

Words cannot describe such pleasure; but the heart of Shia can feel that and fill it out of his love and passion on his attitudes. The pens are inkless when they are to scratch the papers on who such noble person is. So, wise would for now squeeze his words just to say: congratulations and celebrations on the glorious anniversary of Ali Ibn Abi-Talib’s birthday.

Liverpool Towhid Centre has planned for a celebration party to make this anniversary memorable for all for ever. The event is going to be held on Friday, 25 June 2010, from 20.30 until 22.30, and will cover different programmes of lecture, nasheed, quiz and finally, the guests will be served a dish of dinner. The event will be at the current address of Liverpool Towhid Centre as it follows:

Liverpool Shia Society’s special thanks to Mr. Shaker Abu Roqayya who sponsored Qima for the previous session as his second sponsorship. Those who missed it, have actually missed a very delicious dish of Qima, and have to wait to taste it until Abu Roqayya sponsors the food again.

However, I am pleased to inform you that, thanks to the Almighty, we have another sponsor for this week as well. Captain Habibi’s family is generously going to provide Qima for the upcoming meeting on the 24th. Liverpool Shia Society sends its deep heart thanks to them for making the sessions more attractive. May God grant his Mersey to you and to those who attend the meetings.

Hope to see you all again.
