Birthday Anniversary of Imam Hussain, Hazrat Abbas Ibn Ali and Imam Sajjad (PBUT)
Congratulations for a unique birthday anniversary. History of human kind has not seen such consecutive birthdays. It gets special when it is for three extraordinary people, and gets further special when all relate to the greatest revolution in the world in Karbala which is referred by the Holy Quran as the “great scarification”.
We are to and going to celebrate this, as great as we can. Manchester Islamic Institute has set a party event to highlight these lovely days. 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:
5 Sidney St
Off Oxford Road
Manchester M1 7HB
Please note that as this programme coincides with our ordinary Thursday meetings, we will all enshaaAllah gather there at the MII to respect the celebration and enjoy such party next to other Shia friends.
Hope to see you all again.

Karbala – Imam Hussain’s (PBUH) Shrine
Ibn Abbas narrated: I came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) and saw al-Hassan (PBUH) on his shoulder and al-Hussain (PBUH) on his thigh; the Prophet (PBUH&HF) was kissing them saying, “O Allah befriend him who befriends them and be hostile to him who is hostile to them.” Then he (PBUH&HF) said, “O Ibn Abbas! It is as if I see the beard of my son al-Hussain dyed with his blood, calling people but is not being answered, asking for help but is not being helped.” I asked, “Who will do this?” He replied, “The wicked of my nation. May Allah deny them my intercession!” He then continued, “O Ibn Abbas! He who visits him while recognizing his rights, Allah shall write for him the reward of 1000 Hajj and 1000 Umra. Behold! He who visits him has indeed visited me, and he who visits me, it is as if he has visited Allah. And the right of the visitor of Allah over Him is that He shall not punish him by Fire. Behold! Answering (of supplications) is guaranteed under the dome of his grave, cure is placed in the soil of his place (of martyrdom), and the (succeeding) Imams (PBUT) are from his progeny… O Ibn Abbas! Their Walaya (guardianship) is my Walaya, which is the Walaya of Allah. Fighting them is fighting me, which is fighting Allah. Making peace with them is making peace with me, which is making peace with Allah. He (PBUH&HF) then recited: ‘Their intention is to put out the light of Allah with their mouths; but Allah will complete His light, even though the disbelievers may detest.’ (61:8)”
