Demise Anniversary of Sayyeda Zainab Kobra (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Condolence on Demise Anniversary of Sayyeda Zainab (PBUH)
Sayyeda al-Suqraa, Umm ol-Masaaib are the attributes of a great lady whose name will last for ever not merely in the history of Islam but in the history of mankind. Named as Zainab Kobra (the Great Zainab) (PBUH), she was truly a pride for her father, the Commander of the Believers, Amir al-Mo’meneen (PBUH), an absolute follower of her mother, the Great Lady Fatima (PBUH), in abiding the imam of her time.
Further to all these parental issues, she was the carrier of the message of the Ashuraa and her imam, Imam Hussain (PBUH), and confidently, without such supporters, Ummaids (CBOT) would have buried the massage of Imam Hussain. Therefore, one can find her an unrivalled follower of her imam.
We all hope take her life style as lessons for ourselves.

Birthday Anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Birthday Anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad (PBUH)
Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad, the only son of Imam Ali al-Riza (PBUT) and the 9th imam for Twelver Shia.
Shining on his nickname, he is well known for his generosity as his distinguished attribute. He undertook the post of imamat at his very young age of nine, and thus, it looked surprising for ordinary people when he found him answering all their questions at the wisest. Therefore, some people were trying to test his knowledge based on their own ignorance. For example, once he was asked a question concerning Islamic jurisprudence. The Imam was asked, “What is atonement for a person who hunts a game while he is dressed in the pilgrimage garb (Ihram).” Imam Jawad (PBUH) responded, “your question is utterly vague and lacks definition. You should first clarify whether the killed game was outside the sanctified area or inside it; whether the hunter was aware of his sin or did so in ignorance; if he killed the game purposely or by mistake; if the hunter was a slave or a free man; if he was adult or minor; whether he committed the sin for the first time or he had done so before; if the hunted game was a bird or something else; if it was a small animal or a big one; if the sinner is sorry for the misdeed or he insists on it; if he killed it secretly at night or openly during daylight; if he was wearing the pilgrimage garb for Hajj or for the Umra? Unless you clarify and define these aspects, how can you have a definite answer?”

Birthday Anniversary of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Congratulation on birthday anniversary of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH)
Congratulations on the birthday anniversary of the youngest soldier of Imam Hussain (PBUT), who did what all he remarkably did with his childish hands, putting in shame those with big hands who left the Imam (PBUH) with his enemies. Either 8th or 10th of Rajab is called as his birthday.
As our great Islamic peers used to do and do, we have been recommended to request our needs pleading the Almighty via the little hands of Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH).

Laylat ul-Raqaaib
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Laylat ul-Raqaaib – First Thursday of Rajab
Rajab, as promised by the Messenger of Allah and his family (PBUT), is bringing the bliss along for the people, as one of the steps of purification towards Holy Ramadan.
The first Friday night of Rajab is called “Laylat ul-Raqaaib” which carries numerous advantageous with itself as one of iconic nights of year. It is related that the person who recites Chapter Yaaseen before going to bed and performs special prayer for Laylat ul-Raqaaib will be saved from the horror of the grave.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) has said that these prayers are means of forgiveness, and on the first night in our grave, the Almighty Allah will send the reward of this prayer in the best, enlightened and eloquent form. When inquired, it will reply, “my beloved, glad tidings to you that you have found salvation from every hardship and horror.” When asked, “who are you? By God, I haven’t seen any one more beautiful than you, not heard a word sweeter than yours, and a fragrance better than yours?” In reply, “I am that prayer which you offered on the eve of the first Friday of the month of Rajab. I have come to you to be your companion in this loneliness and to remove from you your fright and horror. Be lest assured that my shelter will be with you until the blowing of the Horn of the Judgment Day.”

Please do not forget to pray for the others, particularly those confined by damn Zionists.

Rajab Month
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Rajab al-Morajjab
Rajab month has approached us, and this means that, in one order, we are approaching holy Ramadan, i.e. the greatest feast of Allah. In another order, Rajab means that the Almighty Allah is re-opening the special gates of Mersey. Definitely, the biggest Mersey gate that the Almighty Allah has ever opened has been the birth of the commander of faithfuls, Ali ibn Abi Talib (PBUH).
Several recommendations have been given by Ahl al-Bait for the believers to perform in this month. Just refer to Mafaatih al-Jinan and find lots of the means of getting the bonuses of Allah in this month. You may fancy reciting the dua of “yaa man arjuh” (یا من ارجوه) [http://www.duas.org/rajab3.htm] after every prayer. Interestingly, you can find some dua pieces issued from the site of Imam Mahdi (May Allah Advent His Great Return) as dua recommendations from our current Imam. Also, there are some short phrases that you can whisper while walking, biking, driving or on board. Fasting and visiting Imam Hussain (PBUH) by reciting Ziaarat Ashuraa has been highly recommended. For a list of a’maal in Rajab, you may visit: http://www.duas.org/rajab4.htm
And another important point, do not forget to pray for your brothers and sisters whole around the world, particularly, the Shia ones.
Let’s hope we will get enough of this month to prepare ourselves for the next step, Sha’baan.
