Ali Akbar, the Hashemite Prince

The whole town of Medina was humming with activity. People from all parts of the town were looking into the street of the Hashimites where a caravan was getting ready for a journey.

ABBAS'S PERSONALITY

Abbas bin Ali was a whole world of virtues and merits. His personality included each and every lofty characteristic. It is however sufficient honor for him to be the son of Imam Ali, the model of human perfection. Thus, Abbas inherited all elements of human perfection from his father and became, in the sight of Muslims, the epitome of virtue and high moral standards. Let us now refer to some of these elements:

Khadija

Wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Khadija Kubra daughter of Khuwaylid belonged to the clan ofBanu Hashimof the tribe of Banu Asad. She was a distant cousin of her husband the Messenger of Allah Muhammad bin Abdullah, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny.

Zaynab Soghra or Umme Kulthum

Imam Ali (pbuh) had two daughters called Zaynab whose mother was Lady Fatima (pbuh), the honorable daughter of the Prophet.

Hazrat Zainab’s shrine

Hazrat Zainab’s shrine the daughter of Imam Ali (pbuh) and Hazrat Fatimah Zahra (pbuh), and the granddaughter of Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad has located in the town of ‘Sit Zainab’, Damascus capital city of Syria, has granted her name to the town awarding it more beauty, spirituality and fame.

Umm-al-Banin -- The Mother Who Bore And brought Up a Hero

The woman, who bore and brought up a hero such as Hazrat Abbas (SA), the standard-bearer to Imam Hussain (AS), was Umm-al-Banin (SA). She was the daughter of Hazam ibn Khali and wife of Imam Ali (AS). She was from the courageous family of Bani Kalab.

Hazrat Abbas (PBUH)

BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE Abbas was the first child of Umm-ul-Banin. With his birth,Medina shone and the whole world glittered. Waves of pleasures flowed in the family of Ali, for the birth of their magnificent moon that would light this world with his merits, and would add immortal glory to the numerous glories of the Hashemites.

The Holy Shrine Of Abbas

From early ages of humankind, people used to show various forms of adulation to their honorable and unique personalities. One of these forms was the sanctification of their tombs by constructing handsome buildings that are, in most cases, taken as places of worship. The holy Quran, narrating the story of the seven sleepers of Ephesus, has referred to this phenomenon:

A Glance at the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Fatima Ma'soumeh (PBUH)

When Hazrat Fatima Ma'soumeh (PBUH) was buried in Qom there was a shade made of straw on the holy grave built by Musa bin Khajraj. The first dome which was in the form of a tower was built by Hazrat Zaynab (PBUH), the daughter of Imam Muhammad Taqi al-Jawad (PBUH) in the middle of third century hijrah. Stone, bricks and stucco were used as construction material for this dome.

Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari

In the Waddan valley which connects Mecca with the outside world, lived the tribe of Ghifar. The Ghifar existed on the meagre offerings of the trade caravans of the Quraysh which plied between Syria and Mecca. It is likely that they also lived by raiding these caravans when they were not given enough to satisfy their needs.
