💠 The Heavenly Marriage
Imam al-Reza (as) – On the authority of his forefathers (as) from the Apostle of Allah (S):
An angel came to me and said:
O Muhammad! Allah sends you peace and says, I married Fatima to Ali. So, marry her to him. I ordered the Tuba Tree to bear pearls, ruby, and coral and the inhabitants of the sky became happy at this. Soon, two sons will be born to these two (Ali and Fatima), who are the masters of the youth of Paradise and adorns of the people of Paradise. So be happy, O Muhammad! that you are the best of men, from the beginning to the end of the world of being.

▪️A father’s heart now wrapped in grief,
O Reza, robbed of sweet relief.
Your Jawad’s light was torn away,
This beggar mourns both night and day.

In this sorrow the heart of Reza bled

▪️ A Son like Moses and Jesus
Abdur Rahman bin Muhammad narrated from Kaleem bin Imran who said: I asked Imam al-Ridha (as) to pray to Allah to grant him a son. He replied, "I will only be blessed with one son who will inherit from me." When Imam al-Jawad (as) was born, Imam al-Ridha (as) told his companions, "A son has been born to me who is like Moses, the son of Imran, the splitter of the seas, and like Jesus, the son of Mary. His mother is sanctified, born pure and purified."
Then Imam al-Ridha (as) said, "He will be killed unjustly, and the inhabitants of the heavens will weep for him and upon him. Allah, the Exalted, will be angry with his enemies and oppressors, and they will not remain long until Allah hastens them to His painful punishment and severe retribution. He (Imam al-Ridha) would converse with him in his cradle throughout the night."

💠 Wisdom from Nahjul Balaghah
Now then, O people of Iraq! You are like the pregnant woman who, on completion of the period of pregnancy delivers a dead child and her husband is also dead and her period of widowhood is long while only remote relation inherits her. By Allah, I did not come to you of my own accord. I came to you by force of circumstances. I have come to know that you say ‘Ali speaks lie. May Allah fight you! Against whom do I speak lie?
Whether against Allah? But I am the first to have believed in him. Whether against His Prophet? But I am the first who testified to him. Certainly not. By Allah it was a way of expression which you failed to appreciate, and you were not capable of it. Woe to you. I am giving out these measures of nice expression free of any cost. I wish there were vessels good enough to hold them.
Certainly, you will understand it after some time. (Qur'an, 38:88).

#HussainiEve
◾️ Prayer of the First Ten Nights of Dhul Hijja
🔸 This prayer is performed from the first night of Dhul Hijja until the eve of Eid al-Adha, between Maghrib and Isha' Prayers.
🔸 The prayer consists of two rak'as, in each of which (Sura al-Hamd) is recited after takbirat al-ihram, and then (Sura al-Ikhlas), followed by the recitation of Qur'an: Chapter 7 (Al-A'raf), verse 142.
🔹 ووَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَاثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
🔸The source of this prayer is a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq (a) according to which his father, Imam al-Baqir (a), had recommended him not to abandon this prayer in the first ten nights of the month of Dhul Hijja, and if he recites it every year, he will share the rewards of actions done by hajj pilgrims, even if he never goes to hajj.

▪️ A Pearl from Sahifa Sajjadia
This is the station of him who confesses to the lavishness of favors, meets them with shortcomings, and witnesses to his own disregard and negligence. You are the Clement, the Compassionate, the Good, the Generous, who does not disappoint those who aim for Him, nor cast out from His courtyard those who expect from Him!
وَهٰذَا مَقَامُ مَنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ بِسُبُوغِ النَّعْمَاءِ وَقَابَلَهَا بِٱلتَّقْصِيرِ وَشَهِدَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بِٱلإِهْمَالِ وَٱلتَّضْيِيعِ وَأَنْتَ ٱلرَّءُوفُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلْكَرِيمُ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يُخَيِّبُ قَاصِدِيهِ وَلاَ يَطْرُدُ عَنْ فِنَائِهِ آمِلِيهِ.

💠 Prophet's Traits and Sunna
Imam al-Reza (as): On the authority of his forefathers from Imam Ali (as):
Whenever something pleasant happened, the Apostle of Allah (S) would say,
"All praise be to Allah, by whose grace and blessings the righteous deeds are done."
And whenever unpleasant things happened, he would say,
"All praise be to Allah in all states."

💠 Quran Light
And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allah. Such is Allah, my Lord in Whom I put my trust and to Him I turn in repentance.
وَ مَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَی اللَّـهِ ذلِكُمُ اللَّـهُ رَبِّي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ إِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ
📖 Surah Al-Shura, Verse:10
⚜️ So long as man exists, there are differences of opinion which in turn necessitates Divine Laws and religion.
Thus, it may not be claimed that man is needless of religion. It is solely religion which not only provides solutions for not only ethical and doctrinal questions but also for economic, political, and the like issues. It is incumbent upon man to refer to God Almighty at the time of disputes and differences of opinion, to put one’s trust in Him, to turn to Him in repentance.
