The Optimism of Fatima (S.A) explained by Shaykh Azhar Nasser with English Subtitles


Shaykh Azhar Nasser explains in this short excerpt that during the last days of our Holy Lady Fatima (S.A) and before her martyrdom, she showed some notion of optimism through telling Imam Ali (A.S) to conceal her grave. Although the concealing of her grave was an act of defiance (against the government of Abu Bakr) but what did this act also portray? Shaykh explains..

Dua Baha, also known as Dua al-Sahar is recommended to Muslims to recite it in pre-dawns of Ramadhan when Muslims usually eat Suhur.

Dua al-Baha is reported from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ridha (peace be upon him) who said, “This is the supplication that Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him) used to say at the last hours of Ramadan nights.” This dua is said to contain Ism e Azam. It is highly advisable to have daybreak meal (suhur) even if its a single date or a drink of water, recite Surah of al-Qadr and not to neglect Salat al-Layl.

سحری کھانا، سحری کھانا ترک نہ کرے ۔ اگرچہ اس میں ایک کھجور اور ایک گھونٹ پانی ہی کیوں نہ ہو اور سحری کے وقت کی بہترین خوارک ستو ہے ، جس میں کھجور کا سفوف ملا ہو اور روایت ہوئی ہے کہ خدا وند عالم اور ملائکہ درود بھیجتے ہیں ان پر جو استغفار کرتے ہیں سحری کے وقت اور سحری کھاتے ہیں

سحری کے وقت سورۃ ” انا انزلناہ “ پڑھے روایت میں ہے جو شخص سحری وافطاری اوران وقتوں کے درمیان اس سورے کی تلاوت کرے تو اسکے لئے اس شخص جتنا ثواب ہے جو راہ خدا میں زخم کھائے اور جان قربان کر دے ۔

سحری کے وقت یہ عظیم القدر دعا پڑھے جو امام علی رضا(ع)سے منقول ہے آپ (ع) نے فرمایا کہ یہ وہی دعا ہے جسے امام محمد باقر (ع) سحری کے وقت پڑھتے تھے اور وہ دعا یہ ہے

This beautiful supplication is also found in Sahifa Mahdiya (English translation) , page 348.

In this Dua, we come to realise how our Living Imam truly loves us, that he prays for us and his followers, those who are alive and those who have passed away from this world.

A short excerpt of the lecture delivered by Mohammed Habib Mukhtarali at KSIMC of London on Thursday 28th of July.

The result of regarding Imam (AS) as witness in all unseen and apparent matters is that awaiter of reappearance remains secure from every error. The awaiter spends life in a way that he or she obtains pleasure and approval of Imam (ASA). The issue of protecting religion is most important for them.

At no cost can he/she obtain any worldly pleasure and neglect pleasure of Imam, because they knows that pious persons are liked by the master. So the awaiters tries to purify themselves from moral filths and spiritual corruption. They cannot see themselves in a condition that if reappearance of Imam (AS) takes place, they should be ashamed to see him.Therefore, they always keep themselves such that Imam (AS) smiling should cast an affectionate glance on them. This is the point where importance of purity of self becomes clear for the awaiter.

Lowering our Gaze & the story of meeting Imam Mahdi A.S - Sheikh Shabbar Mehdi

It is the statement of an Imam (AS) that: "If a believer refrains from glancing at an unrelated female due to fear of God, and he casts down his glance, as much particles his glance covers, as much reward would be written for him."

O God, You are concealer of defects. Through the right of Imam e Zamana (ATFS), give us good sense (Tawfeeq) to purify our glances, so that we may be able to see the elegance of Imam e Zamana (ATFS). Ameen.
(Excerpt from Noor Diary App, Chapter: Refraining from glancing at unrelated person of opposite sex)

An eulogy recited by Sayed Mustafa al-Mousawi (with English subtitles)

What a close relationship there is between the existence of the Lady of Islam and the Night of Divine Decrees! The being of Hazrat Fatima (SA) is the source of luminosity of the guardianship and Imamat; divine knowledge and wisdom. The written Qur’an descended on the Night of Qadr, but Fatima is the one from whom 11 speaking Qur’ans (Qur’an-e-Natiq) have descended.

But what has happened to this holy Lady of Light?

‎“هل من ناصر ينصرنا”
“Isn’t there anyone to help me”?

The fire that burned the tents in Karbala started when the door of Ali and Zahra was burned.
And when the horses trampled over Aba Abdillah's body, the ribs from our beloved Sayyeda Fatima Zahra were broken again... Witnessing what has happened to Zainab's brother, she remembers her mother Fatima with deep sorrow...

I don’t know which is more hurtful,
the broken ribs of our mother Zahra,
the poisoned head of our father Ali,
or the headless, trampled and riddled with horses upon body of our Hussain…💔 wa Hussaina!
