Imam Sajjd's supplication (A.S) for the Coming of the Month of Ramadan

Praise belongs to ALLAH who guided us to His praise and placed us among the people of praise, that we might be among the thankful for His beneficence and that He might recompense us for that with the recompense of the good-doers!

THE WISDOM BEHIND FASTING

There are reasons and wisdom behind every single act in Islam, no matter how small. In time we may know the wisdom for behind some acts, and for others we may never know. Salaat, for instance, is a daily training for purifying the believer and reminding him that he is a member in a community of believers.

How to fast all your life?

On p. 258, Vol. 1, of 'Ilal al-Sharai', and also on p. 92, Vol. 94, of Bihar al-Anwar, Imam Reza (A.S) was asked why an optional fast is recommended for the entire year, and he answered by saying that it served to complement obligatory fast.

Imam Ali’s Internal Policy (Part 1)

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AIMS OF ISLAM was to restrain the strong from oppressing the weak, and to put an end to exploitation in all its forms. When Ali took charge of the caliphate, he dismissed the governors who had been appointed by Uthman.

Imam Ali’s Internal Policy (Part 2)

What were the mainsprings of Ali’s actions and policies? It appears that every detail of his life was governed by taqwa (the fear of doing something that would displease God).

Peace on me the day I was born.(Quran 19:33)

And(remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.

Ali’s Virtues at Creation and Birth

Ali (A.S) was born on 13th of Rajab, thirty years after the year of the Elephant in Kaba. This virtue belongs only to him, for no one was ever born in Kaba except him neither in the past nor in the future.

Ali’s Genealogy (Part 1)

Beyond doubt, kinship with the Messenger of Allah is both a unique privilege and superiority over others. Hence, God considers the honor of kinship with the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as part of the honor of nearest relations when we read in the Holy Qur’an: “and warn your nearest relations”‌ (26:214).

Ali’s Genealogy (Part 2)

Imam Ali’s dignified mother was Fatimah bint Asad ibn Hashim ibn `Abd-Manaf, a lady who undertook to rear the Messenger of Allah in his childhood, fondling him on her lap. She was among the first women who believed in Allah and His messenger and immigrated to Medina with the Holy Prophet (PBUH). [1]
