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

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…

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.

Birthday Anniversary – Imam Muhammad Baqir (PBUH)
Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of the fifth Successor of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), Imam Muhammad Baqir (PBUH), the “Revealer of Knowledge” (Baqir ul-Ulum).
Being born in Medina on 1st of Rajab 57 AH and being martyred on 7th of Dhu ul-Hijjah 114 AH, he guided the people of his time for 20 years in the role of imam.
Imam Muhammad Baqir (PBUH) has said: “Our followers are of three kinds, one who follows us but depends on others, one who is like a glass involved in his own reflections, but the best are those who are like gold, the more they suffer the more they shine.”

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)”
