Why Don\\\'t We Mourn the Other Imams (A), Like Imam Husayn (A)? | Ayatollah Misbah-Yazdi How is the life of Imam Husayn (A) different from that of the other Aimmah (A)? And what did Allah – the Exalted – destine for Sayyid al-Shuhada (A)? Furthermore, which of the Aimmah (A) experienced the most distressing calamities after Sayyid al-Shuhada (A)? Besides, what is the special feature of Imam Husayn (A) in regards to the Day of Judgment? And finally, why aren’t such mourning ceremonies held for the other Aimmah – peace be upon them all? The late Ayatollah Misbah-Yazdi (R) provides us with a profound crash-course on the basics of Azadari, the mourning over Imam Husayn (A), his family members, and his companions who were martyred on the 10th of Muharram, in the year 61 A.H. #Azadari #Mourning #Muharram #Akhlaq #Love #Allah #Concepts #Beliefs #Salvation #Arbaeen #Husayn #ImamHusayn

Saudi Ayatollah Nimr Al-Nimr Dares Saudi Regime to Attack Iran and Declares: We Are Loyal to Allah, Not to Saudi Arabia or its Royal Family Following are excerpts from a Friday sermon delivered by Saudi Ayatollah Nimr Al-Nimr, which was posted on the Internet on October 7, 2011. Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr is from the city of Awwamiyah in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. He is an outspoken Shia cleric known for his criticism of the Saudi government and his constant call for freedom of religion, equality, and justice for the Shia minority in Saudi Arabia. In 2009, Al-Nimr said that the dignity of the Saudi Shia is more precious than the unity of the land, and suggested that Saudi Shia might secede from Saudi Arabia. Fearing arrest, Al-Nimr currently is in hiding. Nimr Al-Nimr: �For the past 100 years, we have been subjected to oppression, injustice, fear, and intimidation. From the moment you are born, you are surrounded by fear, intimidation, persecution, and abuse. We were born into an atmosphere of intimidation. We feared even the walls. Who among us is not familiar with the intimidation and injustice to which we have been subjected in this country? I am 55 years old, more than half a century. From the day I was born and to this day, I�ve never felt safe or secure in this country. �You are always being accused of something. You are always under threat. The head of the State Security Service admitted this to me in person. He said to me when I was arrested: �All you Shi�ites should be killed.� That is their logic. The head of the State Security Service in the Eastern Province said so himself. [...] �They are still plotting to carry out a massacre. They are more than welcome. We are here. Our blood is a small price to pay in defense of our values. We do not fear death. We long for martyrdom. [...] �A few months ago, the flame of honor was sparked in the spirits of the youth. The torch of freedom was lit. The people took to the streets demanding reform, honor, and freedom. There are people who have been held in prison unjustly for more than 16 years. In addition, the Peninsula Shield Force and the Saudi army invaded Bahrain. Then there were more and more arrests. �So who was it who instigated strife and unrest? [...] �The strife and unrest in Awwamiya were instigated by the regime, not the people. [...] �We will continue to defend both the veteran and the new prisoners. We will stand by them. We don�t mind being arrested, and joining them. We don�t even mind shedding our blood for their sake. We will continue to express even stronger solidarity with Bahrain. It is our own kin in Bahrain. Even if the Saudi army and the Peninsula Shield Force had not intervened, it still would have been our duty to stand by the people of Bahrain, our kin, let alone when the Saudi army takes part in oppression, the killing, the violation of women�s honor, and the plundering of money. [...] �[The Saudi regime says] that we are acting �at the behest of a foreign country.� They use that false pretext. By �foreign country� they mean Iran, of course. You can�t really tell if it�s Iran, Turkey, a European country, or the U.S., but they usually mean Iran. In December 1978, there was an Intifada to defend the honor of Awwamiya, when the riot police attacked the town. This was on December 10, 1978, before the Shah was deposed, before the Islamic Republic of Iran was even established. �It was in 1978 � four months before the fall of the Shah. A group of people convened to perform the religious rite of taziyeh for Imam Hussein. It had nothing to do with political or security matters, but the security forces arrived and attacked them, and a confrontation ensued. People were defending themselves, as well as their faith and their honor. That night, they arrested 100 people. This was in December 1978, prior to the fall of the Iranian [Shah]. So how can they talk about foreign interferen

Thus, the way back to God is to come back to who we truly are; and to know who we truly are is to know God and why we were put on this earth. Through this, we can begin the process of recognizing God. TODAY WE REVIEW THE TOPIC OF THE GOD OF THE Quran: WE HAVE “LOST” GOD. Presented by SHAYKH SALEEM BHIMJI for ISLAMIC PUBLISHING HOUSE (https://www.iph.ca) As we go through tumultuous times, the believers repeatedly ask, ‘When will the aide of God come?’ The answer is that it came 1,400 years ago in the form of the Noble Qur’an – the remedy for the challenges we face.

ESOLUTION OF PROTEST: To Consul General of Pakistan Toronto, Canada The Shia and Sunni Canadian Muslims have gathered here today to express our extreme anguish and sorrow at the genocide of Pakistani citizens by a small group of terrorists. This representative gathering of Shia and Sunni mosques and community organizations in Toronto has adopted the following resolutions: 1. We express our complete solidarity with the victims of the barbaric massacre in Abbas Town and with all the Shia and Sunni victims of the on-going genocide in Pakistan. 2. We strongly condemn the lack of action by the government of Pakistan which has allowed the foreign-sponsored terrorists of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other puppet organizations to brutally murder tens of thousands of Pakistani citizens with impunity. The citizens lost to this brutal assassination campaign are greater than the number of citizens killed in many armed conflicts between countries. 3. We strongly condemn the criminal negligence and complicity of the government of Pakistan evident by the fact that despite the large number of innocent civilians that have been massacred, not even a single murderer has been held accountable. 4. We strongly reject attempts by the intelligence agencies of United States of America through their Saudi and Pakistani counterparts to divide the Pakistani Muslims on sectarian lines by sponsoring extremist organizations and divisive forces. We, the Shias and Sunnis are united in condemning these terrorists and the shameful lack of action by the government of Pakistan which has surrendered to the foreign interests rather than performing its duty towards its citizens. 5. We demand an immediate operation in the country to hold these culprits accountable for their crimes against humanity. 6. We strongly condemn the burning of Christian houses in Lahore today by extremists. What would it take for the Pakistani government to change its shameful lack of action? How many more orphans and widows will it take before the government conducts an operation against these murderers committing war crimes against innocent Pakistani citizens? These foreign funded terrorists are unable to operate in many other nations due to a respectable, dignified and independent government, loyal to its citizens; why have the Pakistani government officials surrendered to foreign pressures? Why are they allowing their brothers and sisters and neighbors to be massacred? We, the coalition of Shia and Sunni mosques and community organizations in Toronto demand immediate action by the government to arrest and punish the perpetrators of the Abbas Town massacre and the individuals responsible for killings across Pakistan.

This is the voice of all Husaynis around the globe. Despite the tough times, challenges, allegations, enmity of the enemies and hypocrisy of the so-called friends, we pledge allegiance to Imam Husayn Ibne Ali (A) that we will not abandon you, we will not leave you alone, we will not give up, we will not leave your path. The Secretary General of Hezbollah eloquently outlines our commitment to the cause. #LabbaykYaHusayn #NoToHumiliation

What is one of the things that we say to Imam Husayn (A) when we recite Ziyarat Ashura? And do we really believe in what we recite in Ziyarat Ashura? Are we true to the promises we have made with Imam Husayn (A)? Were the Imams (A) silent or indifferent when it came to fighting the oppressors? Despite trials and difficulties, did the Imams (A) give up on their struggle for the sake of Allah and on the path of Allah? And what are just some of the things that we need to pledge allegiance to with the Imam of our time? Finally, what is the path of the Imams (A) and will you stay true to it? In this Scholar Clip, Shaykh Ali Qomi lets the whole world know that \\\"We Will Stay True to the Path of Imam Husayn (A)\\\". Salutations be upon Husayn! Salutations be upon Ali ibne Husayn!

This is a song of hope for the Palestinians in Gaza, composed and performed by Michael Heart (www.michaelheart.com) Copyright 2009 Lyrics: A blinding flash of white light Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight People running for cover Not knowing whether they're dead or alive They came with their tanks and their planes With ravaging fiery flames And nothing remains Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight Women and children alike Murdered and massacred night after night While the so-called leaders of countries afar Debated on who's wrong or right But their powerless words were in vain And the bombs fell down like acid rain But through the tears and the blood and the pain You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In the night, without a fight We will not go down In Gaza tonight

Shia history is that when we get attacked by Terrorists, with every drop of an innocent blood, we become more fearless and stronger. Down with all the terrorists, down with their supporters and financer Zionists. DEATH TO ZIONISTS - the enemies of Humanity. We Shias have historically been "the worst victims of terrorism". We never and will never give up defending the dignity of Islam and Shias. We were and are peaceful people. BUT we never tolerated injustice in the past and will never tolerate it in future. We are just paying the cost of being a Shia of Imam Ali (a.s). Every single Shia is ready to sacrifice his/her life and achieve the level of Shahadat, just the way all of our Imams did. LABBAYK YA HUSSAIN. LABBAYK YA HUSSAIN. LABBAYK YA HUSSAIN. Our lives be sacrificed for you and your grandsons, especially the Imam of our time, Imam Al-Mahdi (a.s). May Allah hasten his reappearance.

Salutations upon the believers upon the birth anniversary of Imam Hasan ibn Ali al-Mujtaba (A).

Ahmed Deedat answering a question about Hijab. Is it an oppression? Ahmed Hussein Deedat (July 1, 1918August 8, 2005) was a Muslim scholar, writer, charismatic public speaker and Islamic missionary of Indian-South African descent. ---------------------- Here Deedat shows us a funny good answer to a Christian girl. We need to understand what we do in our life. We are live in the age of speed and knowledge : ** find what's your place in the world ** Why are we created ? and by whom ? ** Is everything we here from the media is true ?

Many – if not most – human beings go through life without ever truly undergoing the necessary transformation into the best that we can be. We come to this world as caterpillars, and it is our aim to develop into butterflies. But we often remain as crawling creatures of this lowly dimension, devouring our way through the dunya (worldly life), blind, deaf and dumb. When do we truly contemplate and make the conscious decision to be better? Brother Khalil Jafar beautifully sets forth an example of our existence in this world as something essentially alien. Do we really belong here? Is there a precedence within the Holy Quran which indicates that we were sent down from a higher realm of existence? What now is our aim in regards to life, the universe and everything? #SelfDevelopment #Thoughts #Contemplation #Islam #IslamicTeachings #Quran #Ahlulbayt

WE are Where WE should be! | HD Nasheed The believers and the oppressed masses won the war in Syria. The commitment of the believers deserved divine help of Allah. Every time we become united as an Ummah, the divine assistance arrives and we come out victorious against the evil-doers - let it be against ISIS or the Zionist regime!

We declare that we are with the oppressed and against the oppressors. We support anyone who supports the oppressed and we oppose anyone who supports the oppressors. We are proud of all the Islamic Resistance forces resisting against the \'camp of arrogance\' lead by the United States of America!

Religiosity starts from this point. Follow us: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Panahianen/ ... Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/PanahianEN/... Twitter: https://twitter.com/PanahianEN Telegram: https://telegram.me/Panahianen/ ============================== We want to reach the goal that God has created us for. What should we do? From where should we start? One starting point is choosing your goal well. Moving forward, having the insight to have a program to move forward and having enthusiasm to reach the destination, are very dependent on our seeing the goal. Whenever you see your heart feels cold, whenever you see you don’t have that needed speed and eagerness, whenever you see you can’t find the way and don’t know what you should do, know that your connection with your goal has become weak. For each deed you should have the intention of getting close to God. When you say, “To get close to God,” you’re saying your goal. Mention your goal, then take action. Mention your goal, then take action. Doing good deeds and worshiping without mentioning the goal is useless. Interestingly you must keep repeating this. If you prayed but didn’t have the intention of getting close to God, you have to pray again. It was useless. Having a goal is this important! This doesn’t mean just saying you believe and then thinking that now you’re a believer. You should keep remembering this goal and being concerned with it for each act. You should take action because of it. You want to chat with your friend or you want to rest. You want to get up at dawn. You want to go to work tomorrow. You should say it. You should repeat it in your heart. “I’m doing these for that goal.” You should repeat this. How many actions do you do every day? Can you count the actions you do in your day? “I go to work.” Before going to work, you do one hundred other things too. One is that you get dressed. Let’s talk about getting dressed. We don’t count it as an activity. What is your intention for wearing these clothes? “I’m just wearing clothes. I can’t go without clothes! I have to wear clothes.” “Why are you wearing these clothes?” “I’ve bought them to wear them!” A tradition says that if you wear clothes to attract people’s attention, God won’t look at you as long as you’re wearing those clothes. “But this was the most normal act. This was my everyday coat!” What was your intention today for wearing this normal, everyday coat?” This is how religion trains us. Religiosity starts from this point. “A person wears clothes to attract people’s attention. Do I have to look ugly? Should I wear a sack?!” No, but why do you want to attract people’s attention? Because of God or because of yourself? “Just forget it! You look at my intentions in too much detail!” It’s fine if you look proper to others. It’s good that you bought good clothes. Whether your clothes are normal, average or good, say, “God, I want to look good because of You.” [One says,] “But I don’t remember to do this!” If you don’t pay attention to this, you won’t move toward your goal! You’ll also lose the opportunities you have. Then you will wonder why you don’t move forward. It’s because you’re not in a hurry and don’t feel a pressing need. Because of God! After putting on your clothes, won’t you say goodbye before you go out? Why do you want to say goodbye? “But we always say goodbye! Can I just make the intention that from now on whenever I say goodbye it’s for the sake of God?” Why do you want to take a step toward your goal just once? You don’t want to put effort to move toward your goal again? You’ve become tired of your goal!? Is this repetition bothering you? One time forever? Maybe you want a computer to do it for you?! So you don’t want to become close to God at all. Go live your life. A person who has a strong connection with his goal will remember it each time. Now that God has made it so simple and you can move toward God with your simple deeds, why don’t you do it? You’re announcing to others, “People, I know God. This God is boring for you to want to remember Him all the time. So don’t come toward Him. My life is boring too. Don’t make your life boring.” Is this what you want to announce? You haven’t gone toward God yourself and now you want to prevent others as well? One should pay attention to his goal very much. And one should have a constant connection with his goal. Whenever you see your heart feels cold, whenever you see you don’t have that needed speed and eagerness, whenever you see you can’t find the way and don’t know what you should do, know that your connection with your goal has weakened. A person who has a strong connection with his goal will remember it each time. For all your deeds, you should have the intention of getting close to God. “Getting close to God” means saying our goal. Doing good deeds and worshiping without mentioning the goal is useless. Religiosity starts from this point.

\"Reach the Peak\" as we delve deeply into the beautiful pages of Nahjul Balagha and the wise words of the Commander of the Faithful, the first divinely appointed Imam, Imam Ali ibne Abi Talib (A). In this episode, Sayyid Amir Behbahani speaks to us about how \\\"We Are Responsible For Our Duties\\\". What is the 16th Hikmah by Imam Ali (A) found in Nahjul Balagha? When the daughter of Yazdigerd was asked a question by Imam Ali (A), what did she say? And in what context does death come about via one\\\'s own efforts? What is an interesting story between Prophet Sulayman (A) and the angel of death? What do the Arabic words \\\'Qadha\\\' and \\\'Qadr\\\' mean? And do the aforementioned meanings indicate that we have no freedom of choice? What does Imam Ali (A) say in Hikmah number 78 found in Nahjul Balagha and how is it related to our discussion? And did the Almighty Allah create all that is in the heavens and the earth in vain? Finally, what does it mean when we say \\\"We Are Responsible For Our Duties\\\"? If you ultimately want to \\\"Reach the Peak\\\", you\\\'re going to have to take the first step - wherever you are! #IslamicPulse #ReachthePeak #ImamAli #Rajab #NahjulBalagha #RTP #Islam #Allah #Shia #Muslim #Sunni #AhlulBayt #Imamate #Wilayate #Ali

Our history is full of selfless sacrifices. Understand who we are; where we come from; what is this movement that we are part of; what is the source; and what we are supposed to do! Shaheed Abbas Musawi explains.

These memorable sentences of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini (R) echo even louder today. The enemy must know that we are the followers of Imam Sayyidush Shuhada Imam Husayn ibne Ali (A); we are not scared of death. 11 of our infallible Imams are Shaheed. We have given countless martyrs on this path. Our movement will continue; our strength will increase further every time you kill one of us. We are not scared of Shahadat on the path of truth and justice. #LongLiveResistance

Prepare for the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (ATFS) Do we assume that we are ready for the reappearance of our beloved Imam (A)? Are we ready to support the hope of humanity? Are we prepared to accompany Imam Mahdi (A) in his mission? Is it that easy and simple? Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei (Iran), Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah (Lebanon), Sayyid Hashim al-Haidari (Iraq) bring to light this most important topic in this powerful short clip. #ImamMahdi #AwaitedSavior #Reappearance #Waiting

Whatever we have today, it is all from Imam Husayn (A), his path, his sacrifice, and his teachings. We are the nation of Imam Husayn (A). We are the nation of Martyrdom. Our mentor is Imam Husayn (A). Look around and see that the Resistance Movement led by Imam Husayn continues to grow. It started with the Islamic Republic of Iran and today we are in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan and around the globe. Imam Husayn (A) is the Imam of justice and freedom. He frees us from the shackles of every Yazid of today. #LabbaykYaHusayn

We think we are alive. Is that right? Have we looked at the teachings of Quran and Ahlulbayt (A). Do we match up with the traits of the living ones they highlight? Agha Panahian explains this using the example of Martyr Qasem Soleimani. Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei raises a few fundamental questions after quoting an amazing statement of Martyr Baqeri. And our beloved Martyr General Qasem Soleimani informs us of some realities.

Due to Covid-19, this year we may not be able to come visit you O\' Imam Husayn (A). Rest assured, we are committed to your cause. Despite all the difficulties, we pledge allegiance to you O\' our Imam. We will not abandon you O\' our master. Please accept our Salaam and salutations from afar.

An energetic nasheed highlighting the importance of the Islamic Unity. United we stand, divided we fall. Our enemy is weak, only if we unite and become one force. The Axis of Resistance has already formed. The nasheed includes powerful clips of Sayyid Abdul Malik al-Houthi from Yemen and Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah from Lebanon. #UnityWeek #UnitedUmmah #OneUmmah
