Birthday Anniversary of Hazrat Ma’soumah (PBUH)
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Birthday Anniversary of Hazrat Ma’soumah (PBUH)
Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of Hazrat Ma’soumah (PBUH).
One of the daughters of Imam Musa Kadhim (PBUT), Hazrat Ma’soumah followed her brother when he made his way to Toos (Khorasan); however, she had to stay in Qom due to illness and could not reach his brother. Her shrine in Qom is the place of hope for the Shia, and Ahl al-Bait (PBUT) have all advised Shia to visit her, as the reward of his visit is heaven.
Imam Riza (PBUH) has said, “who ever visits Ma’soumah in Qom is as he has visited me in” “whoever cannot make his way to visit me should either visit my brother in Rey [Abdola’dhim] or my sister in Qom, and the reward of the visit will be the same [undoubtedly]”.
Several stories have been seen about the high knowledge of this lady. At the time of Imam Musa Kadhim (PBUH), when people had got problems, they could ask her, and her answer was approved by Imam Musa Kadhim (PBUH). It has been said by one of infallibles that, the Hazrat Ma’soumah’s (PBUH) shrine is a transfiguration of the hidden shrine of Sayyeda Zahra (PBUH), and this would be as great as the Hazrat Ma’soumah’s.

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)”
