Al ‘Askarī Mosque or the ‘Askariyya Mosque/Shrine (Arabic: مرقد الامامين علي الهادي والحسن العسكري‎ Marqad al-Imāmayn ‘Alī l-Hādī wa l-Ħassan al-‘Askarī) is a Shī‘ah Muslim holy site located in the Iraqi city of Sāmarrā 125 km (78 mi) from Baghdad. It is one of the most important Shī‘ah mosques in the world, built in 944.[1] Its dome was destroyed in a bombing by terrorists in February 2006 and its two remaining minarets were destroyed in another bombing in June 2007, causing widespread anger amongst Muslims. The remaining clock tower was also destroyed in July 2007. The remains of the 10th and 11th Shī‘ah Imāms, ‘Alī al-Hādī ("an-Naqī") and his son Hasan al-‘Askarī, known as: al-‘Askariyyain ("the two ‘Askarīs"), rest at the shrine[2]. Also buried within the Mosque are: Hakimah Khātūn, sister of ‘Alī al-Hādī; and Narjis Khātūn, the mother of Muħammad al-Mahdī[3]. Adjacent to this shrine is another mosque, built over the location where the Twelfth or "Hidden" Imām, Muħammad al-Mahdī first entered the Minor Occultation. The ‘Askariyya Shrine is also known as the "Tomb or Mausoleum of the Two Imāms", "the Tomb of Imāms ‘Alī al-Hādī and Hasan al-‘Askarī" and "al-Hadhratu l-‘Askariyya". CLAIMS OF SECTARIAN VIOLENCE ARE ABSURD AS THE TWO MAJOR SECTS OF ISLAM, SHIA & SUNNI HAVE RESPECTED EACH OTHERS HOLY FIGURES FOR A LONG TIME. THESE SORTS OF INCIDENCES STARTED AFTER FOREIGN TROOPS ILLEGALY OCCUPIES IRAQ IN 2002 UNDER THE PRETEXT OF HAVING THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THEN LATER THE CRUEL DICTATOR SADDAM. OCCUPYING TROOPS ARE STILL IN IRAQ CAUSING THE DISTRESS AND FEAR AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC. NOW SHIAS AND SUNNIS ARE UNITING TO EXPELL THE INVADERS FROM THEIR HOMELAND.

A lecture delivered by Sheikh Hamza Sodagar on the topic of Zahoor of our Imam(AJTF), on the Saturday bridge Voice of Islam on Aug 28, 2010.

Saman Kojouri, Press TV, Tehran Thinkers and scholars from 20 countries are taking part in the event. According to Islam, Mahdisim is a belief in the 12th imam of the Muslim Shia household, who is expected to emerge from occultation to fulfill his role and lead the faithful to salvation. The belief varies under different names in different religions. The fundamentals of different religions show a recurring theme the Messiah; the one who is anticipated as the savior and liberator. This belief can be found in Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism as well as a host of other religions too. People always dream of better things: like better things to eat and a better life with no social problems; According to religious teachings when the Savior emerges the world will become full of all these “better” concepts. But the main question, which remains to be answered, is that why mankind waits for a savior in this world. The international conference on Mahdism doctrine will further discuss practical ways to prepare the ground for the reappearance of the savior of mankind.

What does Islam say about making a change in the world? In the time of the Imam\\\'s occultation, do we sit still and wait or do we try to implement positive change? What is our responsibility?

This is the story of Ahl e Kufa. This is the story of Shabath, who wrote a letter to Imam Husayn inviting him to Kufah, and then later became one of the commanders of Umar ibn Saad\'s army in Karbala. Shabath is an example of those people whose hypocrisy and disloyalty resulted, time and again, in the killing of the Ahl al-Bayt. Shabath is one of the reasons Imam Mahdi is in Occultation.

Who has the right to rule over the believers in the occultation of Imam Mahdi (A)? What is the jurisdiction of that ruler? This powerful clip answers many such questions/confusions.

Does the leader of the Muslims always have to be a Ma’sum [infallible]? Ultimately, yes! How can one strive for perfection if ones’ ultimate leader is not a perfect servant of Allah? But how about in the time when the infallible Imam is in occultation? Shaykh Usama brilliantly presents the example of the Tawwabin- they ought to have followed Muslim Ibn Aqeel - a non-Ma’sum leader - but their failure to do so lead to the martyrdom of Imam Husayn [A]. The question for you now is: who is the Muslim Ibn Aqeel of today?

During the occultation of Imam Mahdi (A), what is the socio-political model of Islam? We present to you this unique clip of Shaheed Beheshti (R) where he presents the answer to this key question. Well, that raises another question; that is, is Islam proposing dictatorship. Imam Khomeini (R) responds to that... A very special clip indeed.
