As salam-o-alaikum, 19th of Ramzan 1431 A.H. - Shab-e-zarbat of the commander of faithfuls Imam Ali(a.s.) and the first probable night of Qadr (Shab-e-Qadr). As per Islamic system of calendar the night of 19th Ramzan starts when the fast of 18th Ramzan is completed in the evening. Shab-e-Zarbat of Imam Ali(a.s.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the night of great diffiulty for the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and all momineen and mominaat. This evening of 40 Hijrah, as always, Imam Ali(a.s.) only had salt and some water for iftar and from then on he was busy throughout the night in prayers with tears rolling out of his eyes. He was repeatedly reciting "I have insufficient belongings for the journey and the journey is too long" - referring to the forthcoming journey towards his Lord(swt). The whole night, his children were besides him and were amazed and guessing as to what was so special about this night. They were to know about it only in the next morning when the commander of the faithful and the Wali of Allah(swt) Imam Ali(a.s.) was attacked during the fajr prayers by a munafiq and mal'on ibn-e-Muljim(may Allah curse him) and fatally injured by a sword which was dipped in poison. This was the time when Imam Ali(a.s.) uttered his famous words : "Fuzto warab-il-Kaaba" - "By the Rab of Kaaba, I am successful". His sons Imam Hasan(a.s.), Imam Hussain(a.s.) together with close companions of Imam Ali(a.s.) brought him to his house among tears and cries. It was here that Imam Ali(a.s.) asked his friends to leave him and asked his sons to take him inside the house where his daughters, who had received the news of him being injured, were anxiously waiting to see their father. Even during this period of hardship, Imam Ali(a.s.) had so much care for his daughters that no one would hear even their cries. But in Karbala, the daughters of Imam Ali(a.s.) and Imam Hussain(a.s.) were brutally and savagely maltreated. (Ala Lanat ullah-e ala qaum iz-zalameen) - May Allah(swt) curse the cruel tribe which committed atrocities on the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) of Prophet Mohammad(sawaw). Majalis and Masaib of Imam Ali(a.s.) - http://www.ziaraat.com/aamal/ramzan/majlis.php First probable night of Qadr (Shab-e-Qadr) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shab-e-Qadr is a highly virtuous night in that all the matters and decisions relating to the next year in the life of all humans are ordered by Allah(swt) and His angels descend from heaven and brings messages and glad tidings to the Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.) throughout the night. It is the night when the Holy Quran was sent to the holy heart of the Holy Prophet(sawaw) as is recorded in the Sura Qadr in the Holy Quran itself. It is related from various authentic sources that this night is one of the 19th, 21st or the 23rd of Ramzan. There are a number of AAMAL (special prayers and dua's) which have been taught by the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) to their followers to perform during this night. These aamal are available online at http://www.ziaraat.com/events/shabqadr/shabqadr.php For the benefit of momineen and mominaat who are not comfortable with reading Arabic, I have provided transliteration of all the duas. May Allah(swt) grant opportunity and the urge to all momineen and mominaat to extract best possible virtues in these Holy Nights of Qadr. ----------------------------------------------------------- This newsletter is sent to 14,045 direct members at the site and 57,112 indirect members through discussion and news groups ----------------------------------------------------------- Iltimas-e-dua, Syed-Rizwan Raza Rizvi webmaster, www.ziaraat.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ZiaraatDotCom" group.
