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.

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.

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.

Birthday Anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Birthday Anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad (PBUH)
Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad, the only son of Imam Ali al-Riza (PBUT) and the 9th imam for Twelver Shia.
Shining on his nickname, he is well known for his generosity as his distinguished attribute. He undertook the post of imamat at his very young age of nine, and thus, it looked surprising for ordinary people when he found him answering all their questions at the wisest. Therefore, some people were trying to test his knowledge based on their own ignorance. For example, once he was asked a question concerning Islamic jurisprudence. The Imam was asked, “What is atonement for a person who hunts a game while he is dressed in the pilgrimage garb (Ihram).” Imam Jawad (PBUH) responded, “your question is utterly vague and lacks definition. You should first clarify whether the killed game was outside the sanctified area or inside it; whether the hunter was aware of his sin or did so in ignorance; if he killed the game purposely or by mistake; if the hunter was a slave or a free man; if he was adult or minor; whether he committed the sin for the first time or he had done so before; if the hunted game was a bird or something else; if it was a small animal or a big one; if the sinner is sorry for the misdeed or he insists on it; if he killed it secretly at night or openly during daylight; if he was wearing the pilgrimage garb for Hajj or for the Umra? Unless you clarify and define these aspects, how can you have a definite answer?”

Birthday Anniversary of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH)

Congratulation on birthday anniversary of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH)
Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of the youngest soldier of Imam Hussain (PBUT), who did what all he remarkably did with his childish hands, putting in shame those with big hands who left the Imam (PBUH) with his enemies. Either 8th or 10th of Rajab is called as his birthday.
As our great Islamic peers used to do and do, we have been recommended to request our needs pleading the Almighty via the little hands of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH).

Laylat ul-Raqaaib
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Laylat ul-Raqaaib – First Thursday of Rajab
Rajab, as promised by the Messenger of Allah and his family (PBUT), is bringing the bliss along for the people, as one of the steps of purification towards Holy Ramadan.
The first Friday night of Rajab is called “Laylat ul-Raqaaib” which carries numerous advantageous with itself as one of iconic nights of year. It is related that the person who recites Chapter Yaaseen before going to bed and performs special prayer for Laylat ul-Raqaaib will be saved from the horror of the grave.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) has said that these prayers are means of forgiveness, and on the first night in our grave, the Almighty Allah will send the reward of this prayer in the best, enlightened and eloquent form. When inquired, it will reply, “my beloved, glad tidings to you that you have found salvation from every hardship and horror.” When asked, “who are you? By God, I haven’t seen any one more beautiful than you, not heard a word sweeter than yours, and a fragrance better than yours?” In reply, “I am that prayer which you offered on the eve of the first Friday of the month of Rajab. I have come to you to be your companion in this loneliness and to remove from you your fright and horror. Be lest assured that my shelter will be with you until the blowing of the Horn of the Judgment Day.”
For more information about the prayer, please visit: http://www.duas.org/rajab_1st_thu.htm
Please do not forget to pray for the others, particularly those confined by damn Zionists.

Martyrdom Anniversary – Imam Ali al-Naqi al-Hadi (PBUH)

Martyrdom Anniversary – Imam Ali al-Naqi al-Hadi (PBUH)
Condolence on the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali al-Naqi (PBUH).
He regretfully spent a considerable part of his imamat period in prisons of the Abbasids who thought could confine Imam’s effect on the society with confining his holy body. However, this was a practice for the Shia to get used to being physically away from their imam to bear the time of Imam Mahdi (May Allah Hasten His Great Return). Imam Hadi (PBUH) was martyred on 3rd of Rajab 254 AH in Samirrah, Iraq.
