#SayingsOfAlMahdi #كلام_المهدي 📜 An Unseen Call: The Story of Abu Raja After the passing of Imam Hasan al-Askari (as), Abu Raja spent two years searching for his successor without success. In the third year, while sitting in Medina, doubt crept into his heart: “If there was a successor, surely he would have appeared after three years.” Suddenly, an unseen voice called out to him: ✨ يَا نَصْرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، قُلْ لِأَهْلِ مِصْرَ: آمَنْتُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ حَيْثُ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ؟ “O Nasr ibn Abd Rabbih! Tell the people of Egypt: Did you only believe in the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, because you saw him?” The call did not just address his doubt—it addressed him using his father's real name, a secret Abu Raja, who was raised an orphan, had never known himself. Shaken by this clear proof, his certainty was instantly restored. 📌 Kamal al-Din, Vol 2, P 491 @misbah110_en

#Shia_Calendar #Safar_alMuzaffar #Martyrdom_of_Prophet_Muhammad (PBUH&HF) #Martyrdom_of_Imam_Hasan_PBUH ◾️On the occasion of the 28th of Safar, the anniversary of the tragic martyrdom of the Holy Prophet of Islam (p&hf) and Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (p), we offer our condolences to the sacred presence of Imam al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten His reappearance), and to all Shi'a and lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt. 🔸Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him) says in a narration: أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بِمَنِّهِ وَ رَحْمَتِهِ لَمَّا فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْفَرَائِضَ لَمْ يَفْرِضْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ لِحَاجَةٍ مِنْهُ إِلَيْهِ بَلْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لِيَمِيزَ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَ لِيَبْتَلِيَ ما فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَ لِيُمَحِّصَ ما فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ لِتَتَسَابَقُوا إِلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَ لِتَتَفَاضَلَ مَنَازِلُكُمْ فِي جَنَّتِه‏....ِ وَ لَوْ لَا مُحَمَّدٌ ص وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ كُنْتُمْ حَيَارَى كَالْبَهَائِمِ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ فَرْضاً مِنَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ هَلْ تُدْخَلُ قَرْيَةٌ إِلَّا مِنْ بَابِهَا؟ 🔹“Indeed, when Allah, the Exalted, out of His grace and mercy, made the obligations incumbent upon you, He did not impose them upon you because He had any need for them; rather, they are a mercy from Him to you. There is no god but Him. This is so that He may distinguish the impure from the pure, test what is within your breasts, purify what is within your hearts, and so that you may race toward His mercy and that your ranks in His Paradise may differ in excellence... And were it not for Muhammad (PBUH&HF) and the successors from among His descendants, you would have remained bewildered like cattle, knowing none of the obligations. And can a town be entered except through its gate?” 📚 ʿIlal al-Sharāʾiʿ, Vol. 1, pp. 249–250 @misbah110_en

#اللهم_بارک_لمولانا_صاحب_الزمان #حسینیه #صفر 🏴 When the Animals Mourned 🏴 According to the narrations, what happened to the family of the Ahl al-Bayt (p) on the land of Karbala echoed throughout all of creation — in the heart of the desert, in the depths of the sea, upon the wings of birds in the sky, and throughout the earth. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 📜 أَنَّهُ یَبْکِی عَلَیْهِ کُلُّ شَیْءٍ حَتَّی الْوُحُوشُ فِی الْفَلَوَاتِ وَ الْحِیتَانُ فِی الْبَحْرِ وَ الطَّیْرُ فِی السَّمَاءِ، وَ یَبْکِی عَلَیْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُومُ وَ السَّمَاءُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ مُؤْمِنُو الْإِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ وَ جَمِیعُ مَلَائِکَهِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِینَ وَ رِضْوَانُ وَ مَالِکٌ وَ حَمَلَهِ الْعَرْشِ، وَ تَمْطُرُ السَّمَاءُ دَماً وَ رَمَاداً. 💬 *"Even the wild animals in the deserts, the fish in the sea, and the birds in the sky weep for him. The sun, the moon, and the stars weep for him; the heavens and the earth, the believers among humankind and the jinn, all the angels of the heavens and the earth, Ridwan, Malik, and the bearers of the Throne. And the sky rains blood and ashes."* 📚 (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 45, p. 202) 🕊 Have you ever heard the story of the Ra‘ibi pigeon that curses the killers of Imam Hussain (p)? There was a Ra‘ibi pigeon in the home of one of the people of Medina. The Imam noticed it and gazed at it for a long time. He then said: 📜 یَدْعُو عَلَی قَتَلَهِ الْحُسَیْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَیْهِ. فَاتَّخِذُوهُ فِی مَنَازِلِکُمْ. 💬 *"Keep the Ra‘ibi pigeon in your homes, for it invokes curses upon the killers of Hussain (p)."* 📚 (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 45, p. 213) 🦉 Imam Reza (p) says regarding the owl: 📜 تَرَي هَذِهِ الْبُومَهَ؟ کَانَتْ عَلَی عَهْدِ جَدِّي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلی الله علیه و آله تَأْوِي الْمَنَازِلَ وَ الْقُصُورَ وَ الدُّورَ... فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْعُمْرَانِ إِلَی الْخَرَابِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْبَرَارِي وَ قَالَتْ: بِئْسَ الْأُمَّهُ! أَنْتُمْ قَتَلْتُمُ ابْنَ نَبِیِّکُمْ وَ لَا آمَنُکُمْ عَلَی نَفْسِی. 💬 *"The owl, during the time of my grandfather, the Messenger of God (p), used to dwell in people’s homes, palaces, and residences... But when Hussain ibn Ali (p) was killed, it left the inhabited places for ruins, mountains, and deserts and said: ‘What an evil nation you are! You killed the son of your Prophet, and I no longer feel safe among you.’"* 📚 (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 45, pp. 213–214) 💔 Imam Hasan (p), addressing Imam Hussain (p), says in a narration: One day, Imam Hasan (p) looked at his brother Imam Hussain (p) and wept. Explaining his tears, he said: 📜 وَ يَبْكِي عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى الْوُحُوشُ فِي الْفَلَوَاتِ وَ الْحِيتَانُ فِي الْبِحَارِ. 💬 *"...On that day, Banu Umayyah will deserve to be cursed and distanced from the mercy of God... and everything will weep for you — even the fish of the seas."* 📚 (Al-Amali, Sheikh al-Saduq, p. 116) 🐾 Imam Sadiq (p) says regarding the wild animals: 📜 كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْوُحُوشِ مَادَّةً أَعْنَاقَهَا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْوَحْشِ يَبْكُونَهُ وَ يَرْثُونَهُ لَيْلًا حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ 💬 *"By God, it is as though I can see the wild animals of different kinds stretching their necks over his grave, weeping for him and mourning him from night until morning."* 📚 (Kamil al-Ziyarat, p. 80) 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 🆔 @misbah110 🆔 @misbah110_en

#SayingsOfAlMahdi #كلام_المهدي 📜 The Hidden Son: An Account from Surra Man Ra’a Ali ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn Qays, who shared a report from an officer of the al-Sawād region: The officer recalled seeing See-maa, an agent of the Caliph, standing outside a house in the city of Surra Man Ra’a (Samarra). See-maa had just broken down the door when a young man emerged from inside, holding a small axe. 🗯 مَا تَصْنَعُ فِي دَارِي؟ "What are you doing in my house?" the youth demanded. 💬 "Ja'far claims that your father passed away and left no son," See-maa replied. "If this house is yours, then I am leaving." With that, See-maa left the house. Curious about what transpired, Ali ibn Qays later approached one of the house's servants to ask about the encounter. 💭 Servant: "Who told you about this?" 🗣 Ali ibn Qays: "One of the officers of al-Sawād told me." 💭 Servant: "Almost nothing stays hidden from people." 📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 331 @misbah110_en

#صفر_المظفر #معرفت_اربعین #Safar_alMuzaffar #Recognition_of_Arbaeen ◾️يَوْمَ نَدْعُو كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ (1) “On the Day We shall summon every group of people with their Imam.” What is intellect? Is intellect the method of turning material wealth into even greater material wealth? Or is obtaining advanced academic qualifications intellect? How have we defined intellect for ourselves, when no one ever complains of lacking it? 🔹The Noble Prophet (PBUH&HF) said in a hadith: 🔸إنَّمَا يُدْرَكُ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ بِالْعَقْلِ، وَ لَا دِينَ لِمَنْ لَا عَقْلَ لَهُ. (2) “All goodness is attained through intellect, and whoever has no intellect has no religion.” 🖋Therefore, what some people call the accumulation of wealth or academic knowledge is not intellect. It is merely the illusion of deluded minds. According to the words of the Noble Prophet (PBUH&HF), intellect is light: 🌟الْعَقْلُ نُورٌ فِي الْقَلْبِ يُفَرَّقُ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ. (3) “Intellect is a light within the heart by which truth is distinguished from falsehood.” ✔️Intellect is the inward proof of God. Alongside the outward proofs—who are chosen servants of God—it first guides the person who possesses it and then guides those around them. But one who has not benefited from intellect remains in the darkness of their own illusions. Such a person is surrounded by darkness and, because they lack the light of intellect, cannot attain goodness. This raises the question: Where can this pure gift and precious quality be found? ✅Imam al-Baqir (PBUH) said: مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَيْرَ قَذَفَ فِي قَلْبِهِ حُبَّ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ حُبَّ زِيَارَتِهِ. (4) “When God intends goodness for someone, He casts into their heart the love of Imam Hussein (PBUH) and the love of visiting Him.” 💢It is only by following the path of Hussein that one can become equipped with the light of intellect. Intellect should not be sought among academic certificates, but among those people who set out for the Arbaeen Walk without any provisions, because they have attained such a degree of intellectual illumination that they understand it is improper to carry provisions when going before the Generous One. 🔹Intellect can be found only through the visitation of Hussein (PBUH), the one whom we address in His ziyarat: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّك‏ .... مَعْقِلِ الْمُؤْمِنِين‏! (5) 💠O Hussein! It is You and Your path that grant intellect to the believers. Visiting You illuminates our hearts and delivers us from darkness, for You sacrificed Your blood in the way of God so that You might rescue His servants from ignorance and the bewilderment of misguidance. (6) How beautiful it is that, in the age of the End Times, the people of truth follow an Imam who, at every moment of the day and night, weeps and laments over the tragedy of His oppressed and forsaken grandfather, and in this way guides His Shi‘a toward the refuge of the believers. فَلَأَنْدُبَنَّكَ صَباحاً وَمَساءً، وَلَأَبْكِيَنَّ لَكَ بَدَلَ الدُّمُوعِ دَماً (7) “I shall surely mourn You morning and evening, and I shall weep blood for You instead of tears.” This is also the meaning of the narration in which Imam al-Baqir (PBUH) said: إِذَا قَامَ قَائِمُنَا، وَضَعَ اللَّهُ يَدَهُ عَلى‏ رُؤُوسِ الْعِبَادِ، فَجَمَع‏ بِهَا عُقُولَهُم‏ (8) “When our Qa’im rises, God will place His hand over the heads of His servants, and through it He will gather and perfect their intellects.” The elevation and perfection of people’s intellects means the ever-increasing guidance of creation toward Hussein—toward the مَعْقِلِ الْمُؤْمِنِين‏. ___________ Sources: 1)The Holy Qur’an, Surah al-Isra, verse 71 2)Bihar al-Anwar, Beirut edition, vol. 74, p. 158 3)Irshad al-Qulub ila al-Sawab by al-Daylami, vol. 1, p. 198 4)Wasa’il al-Shi‘a, vol. 14, p. 496 5)Al-Mazar al-Kabir by Ibn al-Mashhadi, p. 515, Ziyarat al-Arbaeen 6)Ibid., p. 514 7)Ibid., p. 501 8)Al-Kafi, Islamic edition, vol. 1, p. 56 @misbah110_en

I said: "May I be your ransom. Then explain it to me." The Imam said: أَنَا خَاتَمُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ، وَبِي يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْبَلَاءَ عَنْ أَهْلِي وَشِيعَتِي.
