In remembering the sad story of Imam Jawaad's (PBUH) martyrdom, today we keep his precious memory alive in our hearts with pondering about his everlasting statements.

Imam Jawaad (PBUH) has said:

“With the Qaa'em (PBUH), there is a sealed writing in which the names of his companions, along with their cities, particularities, beauties and epithets are written. They are hard working champions in obedience of Allah and him.”

(Elzaam-O-Naaseb)

In this month of Dhyl-Qa'dah, we implore Imam Reza (PBUH) -in the name of his only beloved son, Imam Jawaad (PBUH)- to pray for us so that our names may be in that “sealed writing”... .

The
eighth star of the glorious sky of Imamat -Imam Reza (PBUH)-
started to shine on earth, on the eleventh of Dhyl-Qa'dah year 153 A.H., in the
city of Medina. Imam Reza (PBUH) was taken against his will, to
Khoraasaan by Ma'moon, the Abbasi Calif of the time.

In the presence of Imam Reza
(PBUH) -in Khoraasaan- the title “Qaa'em” was mentioned, the
Imam rose on his feet and placed his hand on his head and said:
O'Allah! Hasten his Appearance and facilitate his Emergence.

In commemoration of Imam
Reza's (PBUH) birth anniversary, let us take one green moment and
ponder about this profound action of Imam Reza; he was the great
great grandfather of Mahdy (PBUH), yet he anticipated with all his
heart and soul, the Appearance of love's spirit and soul. How can
you and we -living under the dark and stormy sky of Disappearance-
not stare at the glorious horizon and anticipate the colorful
rainbow of honesty, Chastity, piety, purity, humanity, prosperity
and equity to appear on the blue sky of human dreams?!

Birth Anniversary Of Lady Ma'soomah

In commemoration of Lady Fatima Masoomah's birth anniversary, it is noteworthy to mention that Lady Ma'soomah -sister of Imam Reza(PBUH)- is the only lady, next to lady Fatima -daughter of the Prophet- (PBUH), who has a special pilgrimage prayer written for her by an infallible Imam. This pilgrimage prayer -narrated from Imam Reza (PBUH)- is an indication of her special greatness and status... please click on read more

Imam Saadeq's (PBUH) Martyrdom

On this sad occasion, we present our sin-washing tears of repentance along with our tears of sorrow to Imam Saadeq's loving heart, so that he may pray for our forgiveness and salvation and we sincerely anticipate the Appearance of the final Candle (Imam Mahdi -PBUH-) who is -so benevolently- trying to keep our hearts Lightful, in the dark storms of Disappearance ... ....please click here or refer to calender.

In bidding farewell to the glorious month of Ramadan, Imam Sajjad (PBUH)has implored Allah in the most touching and meaningful manner; he has actually taught us to do the same:

... O' Allah! we repent to You in our Day of Fetr -which You have appointed it for the Believers, an Eid and festival and a joy, and for the people of Your creed, a time of assembly and gathering- of every misdeed we did, ill work we sent ahead, or evil thought we secretly conceived; the repentance of o­ne who does not harbor in his mind a return to sin and who afterwards will not go back to offense; an unswerving repentance, rid of doubt and wavering. So accept it from us, be pleased with us, and make us steadfast in it [in Our repentance]... .

(Sahifah Sajjadiyah; For the complete text of this supplication click here)

Let us open our hearts; as if, in Fetr Eve, the Angels are picking the shining and silvery stars and arranging a blue basket of Peace and decorating it with the white ribbon of Hope and offering this celestial basket, o­n glorious Eid of Fetr, to all hearts who love Mohammad and his progeny (PBUT) and Anticipate Mahdi, the manifestation of Divine Love and Justice.
