The Struggle for Power (1): After The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H and Famliy)

The Sunni Muslims assert that all companions of Muhammad Mustafa, the blessed Messenger of God, were models of exemplary deportment, and that they were untouched by greed for money, lust for power or any other worldly ambition. They also say that all companions loved each other and that their mutual relations were uncontaminated by any cynicism or jealousy.Such, unfortunately, is far from being the case. We wish it had been so but the evidence ...

The marriage of the Prophet with Khadijah

Lady Khadijah believed, with no bit of doubt, that Muhammad would be the prophet by whose mission the world would shine. It was he whom the prophets of Allah had brought good tidings about before. She proposed to him to marry her, and she gave him some money (so that he would give it to her as if it was his) to be as her dowry. The Prophet (a.s.) told his uncle Abu Talib who became very pleased for that, because he knew Khadijah and knew her ...

Imam, accompanied with his brother Abbas, galloped towards the Euphrates. The army of Umar bin Sa'ad blocked their way, while a man from Bani Darim called out to them, "Woe be to you! Block their way towards the Euphrates so that they may not reach it". Imam Husain (a.s) ...

Allah no one is the Lord of the creation

When a believer has developed a firm and complete conviction that apart from Allah no one is the Lord of the creation and none is the cause of all the causes except Him, He does not repose hope in anyone except Allah. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) states: "You must not rely upon anyone except the Lord." (Nahjul Balagha). As we have mentioned before, the origin of everything is Allah and the centre of all creation is He alone. In the same way every ...

The burden of Khayanat and the Day of Judgement

The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) has said, "Beware! One should not commit Khayanat of even one camel!

Quranic Verses about Hijab

A Muslim woman wears hijab for the simple reason that God has commanded it in the Quran and Sunna. As Muslims we make the testimony “Muhammad is the messenger of God“. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would not be a messenger if he did not come with a message, and his message is the Quran. Therefore, we are really saying “The Quran is the message of God“. Our faith in God motivates us to obey God’s message ...

Islam & The Concept of Friendship

Humans have always been social creatures and in need of friends and companions. Much of our lives is spent in interaction with others. For us Muslims who are living in a society where we are clearly a minority, the issue of choosing right companions is essential for preserving our Deen. Befriending righteous and virtuous Muslims is an essential means for staying on the Straight Path. Strong individuals, on the other hand, are the core of a ...

Leaders Appointed by the God: Prophet Ibrahim (AS)

The Prophet Ibrahim (AS) lived long ago. In those days the people were ignorant and illiterate. They had totally forgotten the teachings of the previous prophets, and they had lost the way and tradition of worshipping Allah. Instead, they worshipped idols. They made statues of people or animals out of stone, wood, silver or gold, and they worshipped them. In front of these lifeless, powerless objects they would prostrate themselves, pray to ...

HAJJ, SPIRITUAL JOURNEY NOT PHYSICAL ACTS

The Imams’ sayings act as warning to the ignorant ones that Hajj is the journey of soul, not distance. If a man’s soul gets into the state of Ihram, reaches the House of God, touches the Black Stone[63] with the hand of the heart, stays on Mount Arafat with full heart, stops in al-Mash’ar al-Haram with full soul, sacrifices the sheep of the carnal desires with the knife of certitude and submission (to the Lord), he has performed a true ...

The Name Imam Ali (A.S.) is identified with Justice

The name ‘Ali, was later identified with justice. His tradition and manner of government was always an example with which people reprimanded other Caliphs. One year, when Mu’awiyah was in Mecca for Hajj, he searched for a woman known for her devotion to ‘Ali and her enmity to Mu’awiyah. He sent for her and asked her, “Do you know why I summoned you? I called you to ask why you like Ali and hate me.” She ...
