Birthday Anniversary – Great Lady Fatima (PBUH)
When Sayyeda Zahra (PBUH) was born, the Prophet was informed by Gabriel (PBUH), the angle of revelation. Gabriel (PBUH) was the carrier of Allah’s (SWT) message to the Prophet and said, “The Almighty Allah (SWT) has sent His regard (salaam) to you and also, has sent another regard (salaam) to your newly born baby.” The Prophet prostrated to thank and appreciate his creator. He was extremely happy, as one of the Allah’s (SWT) promises had taken shape. A verse had been already sent to the Prophet, promising that his posterity will be carried on but his enemy’s will not. Also, revelation carrier (PBUH) told him that, “her (Fatima’s (PBUH) generation will be pure and auspicious. And the Almighty Allah (SWT) will put your generation continuation from her. Great men of God (Imams) will be brought up by her and Allah (SWT) will make them His representatives on Earth after you when no revelation will be sent to people.”…
Congratulation on Sayyeda Fatima’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary. Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of the greatest lady of the world and thereafter – as the Prophet (PBUH &HF) said. Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a daughter whose fragrance reminded the father (PBUH&HF) of paradise fragrance. Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a lady whose satisfaction was the Prophets satisfaction – as the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said. Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of a part of the Prophet (PBUH& HF) – as he said.
Thanks to the hard work of the brothers and sisters at Liverpool Towhid Centre, Sayyeda Zahra’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary will be celebrated at this centre on Tuesday, 23 May 2011. The programme will start at 8 pm and will finish at 10 pm with Sunset (Maghrib) and Night (Ishaa) Prayers which will be done in group prayers. The event includes lecture, poems and fun programmes like questions and matches. At the end of the event, the guests will be served for supper.
As Sayyeda Fatima’s (PBUH) birthday anniversary is celebrated as Ladies and Mothers’ Day in Iran, all the ladies attending the event will receive a special gift from Liverpool Towhid Centre.
Hoping to see you all there, please publicise the event to your friends and those who may be interested.

Mourning Event on the Anniversary of Great Lady Fatima (PBUH) Martyrdom

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

Importance of Prophets/ Religion

Importance of Prophets/ Religion
Kumail narrated that Imam Ali (PBUH) said:
يا كميل لو لم يظهر نبي و كان في الأرض مؤمن تقي لكان في دعائه إلى الله مخطئا أو مصيبا بل و الله مخطئا حتى ينصبه الله لذلك و يؤهله له
“… O Kumail! If no Prophet had appeared on earth while there was a mindful believer, do you think, in his call towards Allah, he would go wrong or right? Nay, by Allah! He would certainly go wrong until Allah sets a (religion/path/prophet) to instruct him and makes him worthy (of receiving the Prophet) and familiar with (his religion).” *
Allah said in the Holy Quran:
مَنْ يَهْدِ اَللَّهُ فَهُوَ اَلْمُهْتَدِ وَ مَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُرْشِداً
He whom Allah guides, is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves astray, you will not find for him any advising guardian. (18:17)

Happy Eid Ghadir

Happy Eid Ghadir
Seventy days before his demise, when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was returning to Medina after his last pilgrimage to Mecca, he reached the pond of Khum (Ghadir Khum) near Juhfa. It was the 18th of the month of Dhul-Hijja of the year 10 AH (March 15, 632 AD). By this time, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) had conveyed all of the divine commandments to his nation except for the formal and explicit public announcement of his divinely appointed successors as the leaders, guardians, and guides for the believers for all days to come.
By the order of Allah, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) stopped at the pond of Khum, gathered the crowd of pilgrims, and delivered his last universal speech. In this sermon, he presented his last religious instruction which finalized the last divine religion and made Islam the perfect religion in the sight of Allah. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (PBUH), the fifth Imam and successor of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said:
“The last obligatory duty that Allah sent down was al-Walaya (adherence to the guardian assigned by Allah). Then, He sent down the verse: ‘Today, I completed your religion…’ once the Messenger of Allah established it in Juhfa area.”
This message was the most unique in the entire mission of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) due to the revelation of Verse 67, Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran before his speech. In this revelation, Allah warned His Messenger that failing to deliver this last message would nullify his entire mission. This unprecedented warning proves that this last message contained the most important religious commandment of Allah for the Muslim nation.
The main issue that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) addressed in his speech in Ghadir Khum was that Allah appointed Ali Ibn Abi Talib (PBUH) as the guardian (Wali), the master (Mawla), the leader (Imam), and the commander (Amir) of all believing men and women, the deputy and the executor of his affairs (Wasi), and his successor (Khalifa). His sayings and commands should be preferred over the opinions of all others in every matter. Obeying him is obeying Allah, and disobeying him is disobeying Allah. Whoever follows him (and his sayings) is a believer under the guardianship of Allah, and whoever turns away from him (or his sayings) is a disbeliever under the guardianship of Satan.

Condolence on the Demise Anniversary of Khadijah (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
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
admin News Holy Ramadan, Imam Ja'far Sadiq, Imam Sajjad, Liverpool Shia, Prophet, The Messenger of AllahIn the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
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.
