In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Mourning Event on the Anniversary of Great Lady Fatima (PBUH) Martyrdom
Amid the wall and the wooden door,
Prophet’s daughter lied helplessly on the floor.
Her father sacrificed his youth for lighting the lamp;
she consumed herself; to brighten that lamp.
Cry of distress Zahra made;
a final farewell to the world she bade.
She gathered her children around her bed,
struggling to breathe; she firmly said;
“Oh the delight of my eyes,
raise your hands towards the skies.
I’ll make a prayer and pray with me.
Ya Allah hasten the death of mine.”
The young children gleamed with joy
to see their mother praying for her recovery …
How touching were those moments to see
them chanting “Ameen” so loudly!
Had Hassanian known, had Zainab known
that with this prayer, mother shall forever be gone;
They wouldn’t raise their tiny hands up
instead, would held onto their begging cup.
Asking kind Allah to make mother live long;
to give her strength & make her strong.
Alas, they were too young to know
how their innocent prayer would be answered in a go.
The impact of the injury was so great
for Mohsin to be saved; it was too late
his first home became his final abode
in womb of his mother, his death was bestowed

Condolence on the Martyrdom Anniversary of the Commander of Faithful, Ali Ibn Abitaalib, Amir al-Mo’meneen
وَ إذا الشَمسُ کـُوّرَت
And when the SUN is shrouded in darkness! (81:1)
… It was a long while he was broken of the perfidy and unfaithfulness of people … used to say frequently, “you are bored of me, and I am bored of you as well.” It was also a long while since the Prophet had left them. He was in strange mood that holy Ramadan … used to say secretly about leaving to the orphans of Koufah … and also, to Hassan and Hussain and Zainab and Umm Kolthum, spending every night of that holy Ramadan with one of them.
His last night, when he was with Umm Kolthum, rejected milk, and broke his fast with two pieces of barley bread and salt, said,
My daughter, whoever enjoys the best of clothes and food will be waiting longer later.
My daughter, one should answer for his lawfuls (halals) and there is big punishment for dealing with unlawfuls (haraams).
He spent whole night on praying … frequently saying, “verily, unto Allah we do belong, and verily, unto him we shall return.” … reciting Yaaseen, whispering, “By Allah, I have been truly said, and I am truly saying… this is the night in which my martyrdom has been promised.”
Kufah reached to the time of Fajr prayers … wishing it had not.
Step by step towards the mosque, … ducks took tips of his cloak, … he asked his daughter’s kindness on them, … door hook thought it could prevent him … but … he fastened his belt tighter … He is ALI Ibn Abitaalib, Commander of the Faithful!
He awaken his enemy lying on his chest … said, “it is not fair to sleep on your chest; this is the way devils do … do you wish me to say what you’ve hidden under your body?” … didn’t continue and left the lying unman on his own.
Finally, the sword landed and sat on an old scar on his head, and happened what was to happen.
And when the SUN is shrouded in darkness…
Gabriel cried, “by God, broke away the pillar of guidance; proofs of piety are gone; the survival link of human kind (urvat ol-vuthgaa) is torn; … Oh, cousin of Muhammad Mustafa has been martyred; succeedor of the Prophet has been martyred; Ali al-Murtada has been martyred; martyred him the most unblessed.”
Head looking on earth, blood dropping from his lighty white beard, “In the name of Allah, and as the custom of the people of the Messenger of Allah”… “By the lord of Ka’ba, I succeeded!”
And the pen fell down weeping…

Birthday Anniversary of Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba (PBUH)

Birthday Anniversary of Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba (PBUH)
LSS spreads its sincere congratulations for the birthday anniversary of Imam Hassan Mujtaba (PBUH). It has added to the inspiration of the holy month of Ramadan to have our second imam and the first son of Imam Ali and Sayyeda Fatimah (PBUT) in such holy month.
Imam Hassan was born three years after the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) migrated to the holy city of Madina. Having been trained under direct supervision of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), Imam Hassan (PBUH) was outstanding in knowledge, piety, tolerance, intelligence and courage. Once Sayyeda Zahra (PBUH) brought her two sons, Hassan and Hussain (PBUT) to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) and said, “O’ Apostle of Allah, these are your two grandsons. Give them something as an inheritance.” The Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) replied, “Hassan shall have my form and my nobility, and Husain shall have my generosity and bravery.”
Imam Hassan (PBUH) was quite wealthy, and could have lived in luxury if he desired; however, he preferred to spend his money to help the poor and needy. Outstandingly, he gave away his entire wealth in charity twice in his life, and began all over again. That further to her generous hand caused people to call him ‘Kareem’, meaning munificent.
Once a stranger arrived in Kufa, and asked a man working in a garden for directions. The man showed him the way, and then invited him to share his meal. The stranger was touched by this offer and accepted. But when he was handed some flat bread to eat, he found that it was so hard that he could not even break it on his knee, let alone with his teeth. He tried dipping it into some water but that did not help. The gardener saw the stranger’s discomfort, and pointed him towards a guest house where free meals were given to all.
The guest house belonged to Imam Hasan (PBUH), who himself welcomed the stranger and arranged a hot meal for him. After a while, the Holy Imam (PBUH) saw that the stranger was eating one morsel, and putting one morsel in a bag on his side. The Holy Imam (PBUH) told him to eat peacefully, and if he needed extra food for his family, it would be provided before he left. The stranger said that he had no family but was putting some food aside for the kind gardener down the road who had only hard bread to eat. When he heard this, the Holy Imam (PBUH) smiled and informed him, “That is my father Ali, the Caliph of the Muslims. He lives on simple food so that no needy subject may be embarrassed in front of him.”
He was 37 when he became the Imam after Imam Ali (PBUT). Imam Hassan (PBUH) was at the position of for 10 years when he was martyred by his wife using poisonous food.
The following saying (Hadith) from Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba is one of those invaluable sayings which provide a believer with a great wealth for when s/he will desperately be in need of. Imam Hassan said, “Take what are in your hands for what you will face (in Hereafter). Verily, the believer purveys and the disbeliever just enjoys. Take provisions (for your journey to Hereafter), and certainly, the best provision is being watchful (of one’s duties to Allah).” (2:197)
There are two celebration events today and tomorrow.
Manchester Islamic Institute (MII) has planned for a celebration programme to highlight this birthday anniversary, and has invited all to attend this lovely event to gain the best of the time and to make Ahl al-Bait happy. The event is on 25 August 2010, and commence at 6.45 pm with reciting one Section (Joz’) of the Noble Quran which is the everyday programme of MII. Recitation will be followed by interpretation and tafseer until it approached Maghrib prayer time when the prayers will be performed in group, and the guests will be served by breakfast and supper after which celebration and maddahi will run.
Celebration for Imam Hassan’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary is to happen in Liverpool as well. Liverpool Towhid Centre has organised for a memorable celebration on 26 August 2010 which is the beginning of the ten-day programme of this centre in holy Ramadan. After recitation of one Section of Quran just one hour before Maghrib prayer time, the prayers will be performed in group and the celebration will run after the guest will have their breakfast and supper. For more information, please refer to the post Holy Ramadan Programme at Liverpool Towhid Centre.
Hope to see you all at the celebration parties.
