Making of Masjid-e-Nabawi

When Prophet Mohammed (SAW) arrived in Madinah after his migration from Makkah, all the residents of Madina wanted him to stay at their house. To make the decision, the Prophet (SAW) used his camel.

Can’t Block the Light of Guidance

No matter how hard the enemies of Islam tried, they could not block the light of guidance from spreading and reaching us, even hundreds of years later. After Karbala, Yazid tried to prevent the spread of the message of Islam by imprisoning the Ahlul Bayt. However, even from inside the prison, their guidance still spread, … Continue reading Can’t Block the Light of Guidance

Hazrat Hur (AS) and Forgiveness

One of the lessons we can learn from Hazrat Hur (AS) is that it's not too late to ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness. Even if you've done something that seems unerasable, asking Allah (SWT) for forgiveness can still erase our sins. To demonstrate this, we used a dry erase board. One the board, we thought … Continue reading Hazrat Hur (AS) and Forgiveness

The Fort of Laa Ilaaha Illallah

As we remember Imam Ali Raza (AS) on the day of his shahadat, we are discussing the hadith of The Golden Chain, found here, on pg 12. When our 8th Imam (AS) passed through Nishapoor, there was a large crowd of people who wanted to see him. Some scholars asked him to address the people, and … Continue reading The Fort of Laa Ilaaha Illallah
