Imam Jafar bin Muhammad had two kinds of different behavior towards the rulers, especially towards Mansour Abbasi; these two seem to be contradicting each other. He would sometimes talk nicely to him, trying to justify himself and he would sometimes treat him roughly.He would talk calmly sometimes and he seemed to be asking Mansour to believe him. For instance, “I swear I did not do that and I do not think that anyone should do something ...

إنَّ المَغْبُونَ مَنْ غُبِنَ عُمْرَهُ وَإنّ المَغْبُوطَ مَنْ أنْفَذَ عُمْرَهُ في طَاعَةِ رَبِّهِ.

There was a great Shia’h Scholar in the days of our tenth holy Imam al-Hadi (as). Once a Nasibi (a person who curses the Ahlul-Bayt) had a debate with this scholar and the scholar defeated him through Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions.One day this scholar came into a gathering, which consisted mostly of Sayyids and people of Banu Hashim; and Imam al-Hadi (A.S.) was also present. In the centre of that gathering, Imam (A.S.) was seated ...
1. IntroductionWe have gathered [1] here tonight in memory of the person who has given us our identity as "Shi'a Muslims". We take pride in calling ourselves "Shi'as of 'Ali" - the Partisans or Followers of 'Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.).Tonight I am going to talk on the caliphate of Imam 'Ali bin Abi Talib because of questions asked by many people about the recent controversy on "the explicit appointment" of the Imam to the position of caliphate ...

The Quran declares that we categorically have two worlds: the Seen; and, the Unseen. When light projects on material objects, man's naked eyes can see them. It is probably for this reason that Allah breathed His spirit (or essence which can be construed as an invisible light) into the clay upon Adam's creation. Reasonably, the Prophet set a requirement for the Moon sighting: witnessing the Crescent by the naked eyes. Thus witnessing becomes a ...
The Son of the Prophet Was Killed-Why?”The tragedy of Karbala is not only a terrible event in the history of Islam, but also an astonishing story.Just 50 years after the passing away of the Prophet (saww) his grandson is killed, not by non-Muslims nor by non-Shiites, but by those who are known as lovers of Ahlul-Bait!!!!In just less than half a century from the passing away of the Prophet (saww), Moawia,who along side his father Abu-Sofyan ...
Those Muslims who claim that they follow the traditions (the statements and practices) of Muhammad Mustafa, the Prophe of Islam, and of his companions, are called Ahl-es-Sunnat wal-Jama'at or Sunni. They also call themselves “orthodox” Muslims, and they make up the overwhelming majority of the Muslims in the world.The Sunni Muslims believe that the Prophet of Islam did not designate anyone as his successor, and he (probably) assumed ...

The topic of the prophet of Islam's (P.B.U.H.) marriages and number of spouses is a subject which has been questioned very much. In reference to this issue, we should mention first of all that before the ruling ...
How can a thing the existence of which is dependent on you be taken as a proof for your existence? Is there anything more evident than your "self" disclose you? Are you hidden to need a guide to find you?Surely you are not. Are you far-away to need your footprints to find you? Surely you are not! Blind may the eyes be which do not see you watching and guarding your "self" (Arafa prayer; Biharol Anwar, Vol. 98, P. 226)[150 Maxims of Imam Husain ...
Personality of Hadrat Abbas (A.S.)
Al-Abbas ibn Ali was a whole world of virtues and merits. His personality included each and every lofty characteristic. It is however sufficient honor for him to be the son of Imam Ali Amir ul-Mu'minin (a); the model of human perfection. Thus, al-Abbas inherited all elements of human perfection from his father and became, in the sight of Muslims, the epitome of virtue and high moral standards. Let us now ...
“O God! You know that I have always wished that you put me in an ideal place where I can say your prayers and You have granted my wish. I praise You and I am grateful to You.” These are not the words of a supplicant worshipping God in luxuriant solitude, while the less fortunate toil day and night for a meager livelihood that barely enables them to perform their obligatory prayers. Nay! These are the words of a person ...

The tragedy of Karbala happened in AH 61, since that time more than a millennium has passed. The world has seen many tides and oscillations of different regimes rising to power and also falling to irrelevancy. During this long time, many mighty empires rose to glory and then fell to oblivion as if they had never existed. In these momentary and instantaneous episodes of the rise and decline of powerful empires, when one nation rose to power, its ...
