Condolence on the Demise Anniversary of Khadijah (PBUH)
Having outstanding substantial characteristics, Khadijah (PBUH) was one of the very well-known Arab women since her daughterhood. As the first Arab tradeswoman, her reputation had travelled all around the Arab dynasty as a great lady, even before getting married to the Prophet (PBUH&HF). Before Islam, she was extremely careful about trading rules so as not to have anything haraam in her trade, and that had made a great wealth for her. It has been written in the history books that her thousands of camel were all the time in trade and travel in Egypt, Syria, Ethiopia and Hijaz with successful footprint.
Meanwhile another unique person called “Muhammad Amin” (trustworthy Muhammad) was concurrent with this lady. Having a long story, Khadijah (PBUH) had decided not to get re-married after the death of her second husband; however, meeting a high attitude person such as Muhammad (PBUH&HF) changed her mind to propose the marriage, and then her wealth to the Prophet (PBUH&HF).
Within the troubles and difficulties that the Prophet (PBUH&HF), his message and Muslims had after the rise of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), not only was Khadijah (PBUH) a great support, companion and comforter, she had a role similar to a mother to the Muslims to keep them energetic for the purpose they had. Her extraordinary patience and enormous strength in withstanding against the problem were patterns for the Muslims. Furthermore, she did never withhold her wealth on the way of Islam, and backed the Prophet (PBUH&HF) to progress and boost his message.
Being the mother of the greatest lady of the whole creation, Fatimah (PBUH) is sufficient to demonstrate the level of Khadijah (PBUH), and would be enough to show what a great woman Khadijah (PBUH) was. She had so high personality that once when Gabriel (PBUH) was descending some verses of Quran for the Prophet, informed the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that, “O’ the Messenger of Allah, convey the unique Allah’s salaam to Khadijah”. When the Messenger of Allah delivered the salaam to Khadijah, she answered, “The Almighty Allah Himself is the salaam itself [and its meaning], and the commence of salaam is from Him; my salaams and greetings to you Gabriel (PBIH)…”.
Losing her in the situation of sanction was a huge loss for the Prophet (PBUH&HF), and actually, the Messenger of Allah did not lose a wife but his biggest support and protect.

Some Tips for Sahar Time

Some Tips for Sahar Time
Some tips have been given for sahar time to make it more grateful. What follows is a few highlighted tips which are reminded to the faithful brothers and sisters.
1. Having sohour (sahar time food) has been highly recommended. Prophet (PBUH&HF) has advised not to miss sohour even if it is just one piece of date. It seems that it is very beneficial for a Muslim to wake up before Fajr Adhan and receive the gifted blessing of that time.
2. Recitation of Chapter al-Qadr (97) for sohour is very useful as well as for fotour. Imam Sadiq (PBUH) has said: any faithful who recites this chapter of the Holy Quran both at the time of fotour and while having sohour gets the reward of shaheed between these two times.
3. Dua Sahar which contains high concepts around the attributes of the Almighty Allah has been found very helpful for those who have planned to get their best out of such selected time. This dua has particularly focused on outstanding monotheistic issues.
4. Sahar time is a unique time for reciting one of the most beautiful duas taught by Imam Sajjaad (PBUH), Dua of Abu Hamzah Thumaali. High statements of this dua have been specially designed for whispering at sahar time.
Please do not forget to pray for all people around the globe, specially Muslims, specially Shia, specially the servants of Ahl al-Bait.

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)”
