Wiladat of Hazrat Abu Talib Mubarak to all of you. Wiladat of Janabe Masuma E Qum s.a. Mubarak to all of you. Words of historians on the status of Hazrat Abu Talib (p) By: Sheikh Farhan El-Baghdadi The year 619 was declared by the Chief of Prophets Prophet Muhammad Mustafa, peace be upon him and his holy progeny, Year of Grief as after the death of Sayyideh Khadijah tul Kubra, peace be upon her, holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his holy progeny, sustained another shock in the death of his uncle and guardian and the bulwark of Islam Abu Talib, peace be upon him. He was overwhelmed with sorrow. Muhammad ibn Ishaq, the biographer of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his holy progeny, writes: "With the death of Abu Talib, he lost a source of strength in his personal life and a defense and protection against his tribe. Abu Talib died three years before he (Muhammad) migrated to Medina, and it was then that Quraysh began to treat him in an offensive way which they did not dare to follow in his uncle's lifetime. A young lout actually threw dust on his head. Hisham on the authority of his father, Urwa, told me that the Prophet went into his house, and he was saying: 'Quraysh never treated me like this when Abu Talib was alive'."

Taken from: http://www.shiasisters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1684&sid=f205af7b4a51028ee742ab281aae7762 From the 6th Imam, Imam Ja`far al-Şādiq (A): تُقبَض فيها امْراةٌ منْ وُلْدى، اِسْمُها فاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُوسى، وتَدْخُلُ بِشَفاعَتِها شيعَتي الجنّة بَأجْمَعِهِمْ "A lady from my children whose name will be Fatima, daughter of Mūsā, will die in Qum. On the day of Judgement this lady will intercede for all my Shi`a to enter Heaven."[1] From the 8th Imam, Imam Ali al-Ridā (A): مَنْ زارَ الْمَعْصومَةَ بِقُمْ كَمَنْ زارَني "Whoever visits Masuma in Qum is like the one who has visited me."[2] From the 9th Imam, Imam Muhammad Taqī al-Jawād (A): مَنْ زارَ عَمَّتي بِقُمَّ فَلَهُ الجَنَّةُ "Whoever visits my aunt in Qum will enter Heaven."[3] Notes: [1] `Allāmah Muhammad Bāqir Majlisī, Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 60, p. 228; Qādī Nūrullāh Shūshtarī, Majālis al-Mu'minīn, vol. 1, p. 83. [2] Mīrzā Muhammed Taqī Khān Sepehr, Nāsikh al-Tawārikh, vol. 3, p. 68; Shaykh Dhabīhullāh Mahallātī, Rayāhīn al-Sharī`ah, vol. 5, p. 35. [3] Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 102, p. 265. Lady Fatima Masuma (A), born on 1st Zilkad 173AH, was the daughter of the 7th Imam, Imam Mūsā al-Kāđim (A) and the sister of the 8th Imam, Imam Ali al-Ridā (A). She was a noble lady who dedicated her life to Islam and Allah. She was highly gifted and due to the training of her father and brother, she has achieved a high reputation in history for her knowledge and piety. She was only six years old when her father was arrested by Hārūn (the 6th Abbasid Caliph) and thereafter, she was brought up under the care of her brother, Imam al-Ridā (A) for twenty-one years. In the year 200 A.H, Ma'mūn (the 7th Abbasid Caliph) forced the Imam (A) to move from Madina to Khurāsān, in Iran. And so, Lady Fatima Masuma (A) was once more separated from her guardian. In the year 201 A.H, she decided to leave Madina and travel to Khurāsān to be at the side of her brother, intending to help him in his mission to preach Islam. But regrettably, she never reached him. The caravan that she was travelling with, was ambushed at Sāweh, where she had to witness the brutal killing of her close family members. As a result, she can be compared to Lady Zaynab (A), who suffered a similar plight in Karbalā. Lady Fatima Masuma (A) was taken ill at Sāweh. From here, the Shi`a of the nearby Qum brought her to their city, where she spent her last few days, before passing away during the month of Rabī` al-Thānī in 201 A.H. Lady Fatima Masuma (A) is buried in Qum, Iran. Due to her blessed presence and patronage, the city has grown into a centre of Shi`a learning; a destination for thousands of Muslim students from over 80 countries. Life in Qum largely revolves around the Haram of Lady Fatima Masuma (A), which is the focal point of this holy city. Every year hundreds of thousands of pilgrims come from all over the world to pay homage to this noble lady. They come to pay their respect to Lady Fatima Masuma (A) in accordance to the reliable traditions of three Holy Imams (A) which are quoted below: From the 6th Imam, Imam Ja`far al-Şādiq (A): تُقبَض فيها امْراةٌ منْ وُلْدى، اِسْمُها فاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُوسى، وتَدْخُلُ بِشَفاعَتِها شيعَتي الجنّة بَأجْمَعِهِمْ "A lady from my children whose name will be Fatima, daughter of Mūsā, will die in Qum. On the day of Judgement this lady will intercede for all my Shi`a to enter Heaven."[1] From the 8th Imam, Imam Ali al-Ridā (A): مَنْ زارَ الْمَعْصومَةَ بِقُمْ كَمَنْ زارَني "Whoever visits Masuma in Qum is like the one who has visited me."[2] From the 9th Imam, Imam Muhammad Taqī al-Jawād (A): مَنْ زارَ عَمَّتي بِقُمَّ فَلَهُ الجَنَّةُ "Whoever visits my aunt in Qum will enter Heaven."[3] Notes: [1] `Allāmah Muhammad Bāqir Majlisī, Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 60, p. 228; Qādī Nūrullāh Shūshtarī, Majālis al-Mu'minīn, vol. 1, p. 83.

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
