Crying for Imam al-Husayn (a)

July 10, 2026 / editor

There are no eyes and (there is) not a tear loved more by Allāh
than the eyes of those who cry and shed tears over Husayn (a).
Verily anyone who cries over him connects with Fātimah (sa),
supports her (in her lamentation), connects with the Messenger
of Allāh (saww), and fulfils our rights.

A Synopsis of Du’a 45 from Sahifa Sajjadiyya

April 2, 2025 / editor

Praise and Glorification of Allah: In this supplication, Imam Zain al-Abideen (a) begins by praising Allah for His kindness towards His servants. He rewards them for praising and thanking Him when it is really He who has inspired us to do so. Furthermore, it is He who guided us to the right path yet He still rewards us for following it.

Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness: Repentance follows confession and regret – only when one has remorse for his misdeeds can he truly gain forgiveness from Allah. Imam al-Sajjad (a) says that remorse is “firmly knitted in our hearts” and pardon is “sincerely uttered by
our tongues” as we confess and repent for our wrongs. We also ask forgiveness for our
shortcomings and negligence in this blessed month.

A Short Summary of Du’a 44 from Sahifa Sajjadiyyah

February 28, 2025 / editor

The Blessed Month of
Ramadhan is the Month of Allah. This attribution of the month to Allah was also mentioned by the Holy Prophet (s) in his famous Sha’baniyyah Sermon, “O people! Surely the Month of Allah, with all its blessings and mercy and opportunities of attaining forgiveness, has approached you.”
Just as objects require a clean every once in a while, the soul of a human being requires the same, as it becomes darkened by the effects of sin. Just as water is not only pure but also a purifier and cleans dirt off objects, this month is not only pure and blessed but also purifies the human soul and heart from sins and their effects when they fast and worship Allah (swt) in it.
