'Prayer' - An Amanah from Allah SWT - explained by Sheikh Shabbar Mehdi (with English subtitles)

The Personality of Imam Ali (A.S.), a Perfect Example (Shaheed Ayatollah Abdul Husain Dastghaib Shirazi
https://www.imamreza.net/old/e....ng/imamreza.php?id=7

Imam Ali (a.s.), inspite of his exalted position, is all humility when he addresses his Lord. Not an iota of significance does he attach to his outstanding achievements. They are all a Mercy from his Creator. In himself, he sees only shortcomings, faults and weaknesses for which he weeps and prays till he becomes unconscious. Abu Darda relates that I heard ‘Ali (a.s.) reciting in a disconsolate voice: “O my Lord, there is no doubt that I have spent a good part of my life in Your disobedience." Still I do not hope for forgiveness from anyone but You. Nor do I intend to please anyone except You. O my real Master when I think of Your Mercy, the weight of my sins begins to feel light. But when I remember Your severity, the load of the difficulties crush me.”

Abu Darda says, ‘When there was a silence after this, I moved forward and saw that ‘Ali (a.s.) had fallen unconscious. When I shook his arm, it seemed lifeless. I thought that my master ‘Ali (a.s.) has passed away.’

Similarly Zorara says, ‘Once I saw ‘Ali (a.s.) in the last part of a dark night. He was holding his beard and pleading in a sorrowful voice: ‘O! The provisions for the journey are less and the distance vast. The way is horrifying and the path dangerous.’

The Whispered Prayers, is a collection of 15 intimate conversations with Allah SWT and the 15 Whispered Prayers are extracted from the book of Imam Zainul Abideen A.S - known as Sahifa Sajjadiya, also known famously as the Psalms of Islam.

Munajaat means "talking" or "having a conversation". In this case, it is the intimate conversations of our Imam with his Lord. Conversing with God regularly is true spirituality, and these conversations between Imam Sajjad (as) and God will really open our eyes. Again, there are conversations for different spiritual
states, such as being fearful, hopeful and thankful. Conversing with Allah according to our current spiritual state will only serve to enhance our relationship with him. (al-islam.org)

The prayers start with 'repentance', as repentance is the first step towards a genuine communion with God.

The Great Sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS)

Excerpt of Ziyarat Nahiya & Eulogy recited by Haaj Mahdi Samawati (with English translation)

Translated by Sheikh Hayder Shirazi

Of the several prescribed Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (AS), one was recited by Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF) and reached us through one of his four special deputies. For that reason, it is known as Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasah. One of the most important features of this Ziyarat is that in different phrases, Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF) graphically describes the events of Ashura and the agony that Imam Hussain (AS) and his family faced on that horrific and ominous day.

During the nights and days of the blessed month of Ramadan, we pray to Allah SWT by the sake of Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF), to grant us all an opportunity to go for the Ziyarah, in Karbala. Due to the current circumstances, it has been almost impossible for the believers yearning to go for Ziyarah in Karbala last year and this year too.

O Lord, by the sake of our beloved Imam (AS), grant cure to every single person who is ill and grant ease, hope, and comfort to those who have lost their beloved ones.

Beautiful Shia Adhaan -

reciter: Aliakber Dewji

[Muharram 1444 - KSIMC Stanmore] - ENG/Urdu translation

One of the most important things we need to do during the period of occultation is to make our best effort to become the best people we can be. We cannot be receptive to the Imam (AJTF) if our hearts are not pure. We should, at the very least, do our best to stay away from committing sins. If our hearts are not sincere, we will not be worthy of our Imam’s (AS) service, nor will he accept it from us if we are filled with sins and unable to receive his teachings. To be in the company of the Imam (AS), we can take lessons from the companions of Imam Hussain (AS). Imam Hussain (AS) said, “I am not aware of any companions more faithful and honest than my companions.” [Shaykh al-Mufid, Kitab al-irshad, vol. 2, p. 91.]

They were known for their ethics, loyalty, courage and strong love for God and the family of the Prophet (pbuh&hp).

Ayatollah Behjat (May Allah swt elevate his soul) on the Dhuhoor (reappearance) of Imam al Mahdi (peace be upon him). May Allah SWT grant us the opportunity to be with Imam al Mahdi (A.S) when he reappears and to support him.

In order for us to be able to support him, we must have Taqwa e Ilahi in our hearts and for every actions and deeds that we do, it should equipped with piety and with the intention to please Allah SWT.

The Imam (A.S) only wants from us good deeds, for us to be on the right path and constantly obeying Allah SWT. It is our lack of piety and lack of ma'rifah (recognition) that pushes us away from our Living Imam (A.S).
