Wiladat of Imam E Reza (a.s.) Mubarak www.almuntazar.com Where is the Enlivener of the Signs of Religion and Its People? An important prayer in this respect is the supplication taught by Imam Reza (a.s.) to his companion Yunus Ibn Abd al-Rahman. This supplication has been noted in the a’mal of Friday. It has also found mention in the rituals of the Cellar (Sardaab). Shaikh Abbas Qummi (a.r.) has referred to it in the chapter of the Ziyarat of Imam Asr (a.t.f.s.). It is a supplication for the safety of Imam (a.t.f.s.). It carries great meaning in its phrases, is a cause for the benevolence of Imam (a.t.f.s.) and has great effect. The part of the prayer concerning our topic is thus: (O Allah)! Honour the believers through him. Enliven the traditions of the Prophets through him. Give the laws of the Messengers, a new lease of life until the religion has (itself) returned to life. (A religion) which is new, fresh, pure, absolutely correct devoid of mistake or innovation..

Killer of Imam Husain (a.s.) in a Casket of Fire Not only has the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) prophesized about complaining against his killer on the Day of Judgment and its ruling but he (s.a.w.a.) has also mentioned about the most painful chastisement for his killer. Such traditions are so many that they cannot be refuted. The eighth Imam, Hazrat Ali Ibn Musa al-Reza (a.s.) has narrated a tradition vide his ancestors from Ameerul Momeneen Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) prophesied, ‘The killer of Husain will be in a casket of fire. Half of the punishment of Hell will be unleashed on him. His hands and feet will be tied in chains of fire and he will be dragged around in the hell-fire on his face till he is thrown in the lowest pit of hell. His smell will be so foul and pungent that the inmates of hell will complain about its stink to Allah. He will stay in this painful chastisement forever. When his skin will be completely roasted, it will be replaced with a new skin that he may feel its pain continually.” (Maqtal al-Husain of Khaarazmi, vol. 2, p. 83) Read more The Causes of Occultation or Divine Practice Occultation not particular with Imam-E-Zamana (a.s.) Time and again this question has been raised that why from amongst the Prophets (a.s.) and the Imams (a.s.), Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) was singled out for the occultation. Since we are feeling his absence to the core, hence we are thinking that the occultation is particular with Imam Mahdi (a.s.) only other wise even Prophets (a.s.) have gone into occul tation. The names of Hazrat Ibrahim, Hazrat Idris and Hazrat Musa (a.s.) can be mentioned Even our Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has gone into occulta tion. e.g. While he was in ‘Shobe-Abi Talib’, where practically he was away from the society. Similarly, when he migrated from Mecca to Medina on his way, he had to stay in a cave for days at a stretch and thus was hidden from the eyes of the people. From our Imams, Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.) passed his life incessantly under imprison ment. As a poet expressed it, “(Our) Master had to pass through endless miseries, Alas! In prison his youth and old age came to pass.” While he was in prison, he was far off from the eyes of people and access to him was not possible. Apart from him Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.) and Imam Hasan Askari (A. S.) led a major part of their lives under strict surveillance and no one could gain an easy access to them. These things make it abundantly clear that the occultation was not particularly meant for Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.).Read more --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "shiagroup" group.
