Last Days of the Blessed Month of Sha’bān

February 18, 2025 / editor

Abu Salt al-Harawi reports that he visited Imam ‘Ali al-Ridha (a) on the Last Friday of the Month of Sha’bān. The Imam (a) said to him, “O Aba Salt, the greater part of the month of Sha’bān has elapsed. Try to make up for the neglect of the past days of this month by compensating in what remains of it. Devote yourself to what is beneficial
for you. Supplicate a lot and plead for forgiveness. Recite the Holy Qur’an as much as you can and repent for your sins so that when the Blessed month of Ramadhan sets in, you will have purified yourself. Fear Allah and trust Him in everything. Let there remain no unpaid debt you owe anybody and no ill-feeling left in your heart against anyone ... Fear Allah and put your trust in Him …

Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf) in the Holy Qur’an – 2

February 18, 2025 / editor

“We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and
loss of property, life and crops. Give good news to those who
patiently endure...” (Q2:155)
Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) the meaning of this verse. Imam (a) replied, “All believers will be tested with something they fear from, high prices of things (food), dealing with corruption, making low profits, sudden deaths of near and dear ones, shortage of products … and give good news to those who patiently persevere. The good news here refers to the re-appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf).

Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf) in the Holy Qur’an – 1

February 18, 2025 / editor

Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “ The pious ones are the shias of Imam Ali (a) and the unseen is Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf). The proof of these words is seen in the verse below:
They ask, “ Why has no [other] sign been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, [O Prophet] The knowledge of the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you.” (Q10:20)

Lessons from Du’a 42 of Sahifa Sajjadiyya

February 3, 2025 / editor

The Qur’an can restore the health of those
who ponder over its messages. Imam al-Sajjad (a) describes it as a healing (shifā), because
it is a cure for all man’s inner sicknesses
of pride, hypocrisy and doubt. Blessings are not just assigned to the one
who recites the Qur’an; rather they are earned by pondering over its verses, obeying its injunctions and internalizing its message
so that a person becomes transformed.

Lessons we Learn from Hadhrat ‘Abbas (a)

February 3, 2025 / editor

Whenever we think about loyalty, the first person that comes to mind is Hadhrat ‘Abbas (a). When Imam al-Husayn (a) did not
allow him to go to the battlefield on the Day of Ashura, he did not complain. When he went to get water for the children, he did not drink the water from the river. This shows his loyalty to the Imam of the time.
Being brought up by Imam ‘Ali (a), Hadhrat Abbas (a) was
surrounded by love and respect for the Ahlulbayt (a). The love that Hadhrat ‘Abbas (a) and Imam al-Husayn (a) shared
was a reflection of how much Janabe Ummul Baneen (sa) loved Imam al-Husayn (a).
Mothers play a very important part in the upbringing of their children.

Similarities between Imam al-Husayn (a) and the Holy Qur’an

February 3, 2025 / editor

The Holy Qur’an encourages us to do good and forbids us from doing evil (Q3:104) Imam al-Husayn (a) said, “My purpose of going to
Karbala was encouraging good and forbidding evil.”
The Holy Qur’an is a
guide for those who guard against evil, (Q2:2) Imam
al-Husayn (a) is also a guide for those who have taqwa.

The Exalted Status of Abu Talib (a)

February 3, 2025 / editor

Abu Talib, as Allah (swt) willed,
was the guardian of the Holy Prophet (saww) from when he was a small child. Abu Talib loved the Holy Prophet (s) just like his own son. He sacrificed his own life, wealth and status for him. He supported the
Prophet (s) for about 42 years and showed great bravery and sacrifice during the last ten years of his life . The only
factor which kept him so
steadfast was his strong faith and his pure belief in the sacred mission of the Prophet (s).
