Eid-e-Zahra (SA)

Ibn-e-Taous narrates in Zawaed-ul Fawaed that Holy Prophet (SAW)’s companion, Hazrat Hozayfa Yamani (RA), said that he went to holy Prophet (S.W.) on 9th of Rabi-ul Awal and witnessed him smiling while he had his eyes on the faces of his grandsons Imam Hassan (AS) and Imam Hussain (AS). He (SAW) said to them: ‘Surely on this day, Allah will ruin His enemy and enemy of your grandfather, and prayer of your mother will be accepted on this day, and this is the day when Allah accepts deeds of your followers and your devotees…” Rabi-ul Awwal 9, the day of glory, honor, dignity and blessings, is a great Eid known as Eid-e-Shuja, Eid-e-Zahra (SA) It was on this day that joy and happiness was restored in the family of Ahlul-Bayt (AS). From the tragedy of Karbala in 61 A.H. till this day, the family members of the Holy Prophet (SAW) had continuously mourned and grieved the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (AS). Imam didn’t stand with any other man to take vengeance of Imam Hussain’s blood bu

Four Historical Events of this Day of 9th Rabi al-Awwal

1]Narrators of history suggest four historic events which mark the day of 9th Rabi al-Awwal as significant. Firstly, some historians are of the opinion that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born on the 9th of Rabi al-Awwal. There are two other opinions: 12th Rabi al-Awwal and 17th Rabi al-Awwal respectively. For the Shia's, the most popular narration is the one which states that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born on the 17th Rabi al-Awwal 570 AD. Whatever the case, the date does not make a big difference. Because Ayatullah Ruhullah Musawi al-Khomeini (ra), the founder of the Islamic revolution had declared the week between 9th and 17th Rabi al-Awwal as "Usboo al-Wahda" meaning "the week of unity amongst Muslims." Muslims all over the world are urged to get together and celebrate (Eid-E-Milad un Nabi) the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for the whole week 2.Secondly, in regards to the importance of this day, it is noted that the Prophet Mu

Simple Advice from Oceans of Knowledge

Tuesday, 01 February 2011 17:09 Abu Zayn Al-Abideen There is much to learn from the representatives of our Imam Religion, at its core, revolves around one vital tenet, and in it lays the understanding of God through His endless Mercy and Kindness through which His Oneness can be realized. That tenet is the "noble character traits". This can be evidenced by the hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny): "Verily, I was sent to complete the noble character traits." I have always pondered upon this tradition and wondered what these noble character traits resemble. How would one embody them without truly observing them in another? Since the Prophets and the Ahlul Bayt (peace and blessings be upon them all) are the perfect manifestation of these traits, what was it like interacting with them? This question lingered in my mind for years until I had the opportunity to sit with the closest followers of our Infallib
