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.

"[incorrect answer]" "Hmm… no… do you know all the nohas that you listen to that talk about Bibi Sakina? What happened to Bibi Sakina?"

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.

The Establishment of Majlis

After Imam Zainul Abideen (AS), Bibi Zainab (SA), and all the ladies and children that had been held captive were released, they held a majlis to mourn Imam Hussain (AS) and to tell the people about the injustices of Karbala.  Ever since, the Aimmah (AS) have encouraged the establishment of regular majlis to remember keep … Continue reading The Establishment of Majlis

DIY Muharram Puzzles

My daughter loves puzzles. And though she is too young to understand the details of Muharram, she can still participate in a few Muharram activities – such as puzzles! I made a few DIY puzzles for her to play during her quiet time – and we even took some when we attended majalis. For a … Continue reading DIY Muharram Puzzles
