Your breaths in it (the month of Rama1an)
are glorification (of God) and your sleep in it is worship.4
4. When you are invited to a party, you naturally expect to meet the host and consider his absence as a humiliation. Accordingly, when Allah (SWT) invites His servant to His banquet, by nature, He is ready to show Himself to His guests and meet them.
"This is the month in which you have been invited to the banquet
of Allah.." This part of the sermon inspires the fact that this blessing has been dedicated to the month of Ramadan. The Holy Prophet of Islam added:
In the sight of Allah, this month is the
best month, its days are the best days,
its nights are the best nights and its hours
are the best hours.5
Although this month's prominence over others involves that its days,nights and hours are the best as well, by mentioning these three phrases independently, the Prophet emphasized that every portion of this month is better than its counterpart in every other month.
Recommendations for the month of Ramadan
The sermon continues by several instructions:
Oh people! The gates of heaven are
open in this month. So ask your Lord
not to close them.6
The phrase, ‘the gates of heaven being open’ has at least two meanings:
(1) The chance of the one to deserve entering heaven is more in this blessed month than the other months.
(2) Due to the openness of heaven’s gates, all kinds of divine mercy in heaven are ready to encompass the servants in tis world, angels are permitted to come to their presence and the breeze of heaven blow into this world. These make the sleep and breaths of the faithful in the month of Ramadan like the inhabitants of heaven glorification of God and worship.
Although the gates of heaven are open, the Holy Prophet warns people that if they do not appreciate such a great opportunity,
subsequently Allah (SWT) will close them. The situation of the
gates of fire is quite the contrary:
And the gates of the fire are closed. So ask your Lord not to open them.7
Along these lines, the condition of satans is described as follows:
And satans are in chains. So ask your Lord not to dominate them over you.8
Although Satan and his assistants are chained up in this month,
committing sins results in releasing them. Therefore, while the
month of Ramadan is the best month in itself, for a group of
people, this month is worse than the other months just as the Holy
Qur'an is "a cure and mercy for the faithful; and it increases the
wrongdoers only in loss" (17:82).
The fourth Holy Imam, Imam Sajjad, (A) in his farewell
supplication for the holy month of Ramadan declares:
Oh month of Ramadan! Peace be upon
you! How long you were for
wrongdoers and how awesome you
were in the hearts of the faithful!
(Al-Sahifah Al-Sajjādiyyah, supplication no. 45)
As implied by this supplication and as proved by the experience,
the month of Ramadan, for those who do not fast deliberately and
without any religious excuse, seems like a whole year and every
moment of it is a kind of torture for them. On the contrary, those
who do their best to appreciate this month find it passing quickly
and are concerned about losing a second without taking the full
benefit of it.
Another instruction offered by the Holy Prophet in his
Sh‘baniyyah sermon is:
When you feel hungry and thirsty in
this month remember the hunger and
thirst of the Day of Judgment.9
Tolerating thirst and hunger in this world is so difficult. We must
then ponder upon the fact that the thirst and hunger in the
hereafter last for years and years or for some groups of people
forever. Additionally, in this world, death may be regarded as a
solution for intolerable thirst and hunger, but in the next world,
eternal life turns this solution into a useless one. In this regard,
Chapter 43 Verse 77 reads:
They will call out," O Mālik! [the name
of the guardian of the hell] Let your
Lord finish us off!" He will say,"
Indeed you will stay on.

🥩 MEAT: Part 2/2
💠 Imam Ali: "eat meat, because meat is from meat, and meat strengthens meat. Whoever refrains from eating meat for forty days will become bad tempered and whoever from amongst you (weather human or animal) becomes bad tempered should have the complete Adhan recited in their ears".
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 67]
💠 Imam Sadiq: "meat.. meat strengthens. Whoever avoids meat consumption for forty days will become bad tempered and whoever is bad tempered should have the adhan recited in their ears"
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 62, pg. 293].
💠 Imam Sadiq: "meat is from meat. Whoever avoids meat consumption for forty days will become bad tempered. Therefore eat it, because it strengthens your hearing and vision abilities".
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 66]
💠 Imam Sadiq: "meat.. meat strengthens and increases intellect. Whoever abandons it, destroys his intellect".
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 72]
💠 Al Kafi: narrated from Hossein ibn Khalid, "I told Imam Ridha: people say that whoever refrains from eating meat for three days will become bad tempered". He (peace be with him) replied, "they lied. However one who avoids meat consumption for forty days their mood and body will transform (to an ill mood and weak physical state), because the state of sperm changes (from a state to another state) in this period".
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 67]
📍Frequency of Meat Consumption
💠 Imam Sadiq: "once in a week eat meat, and do not get yourself and your family habitual of eating meat ; because addiction to meat is just like addiction to alcohol. Also, do not refrain them from meat for forty days, because it will surely cause them to become cranky and fractious. ".
📖[Al Usul al Sitta Ashr, page. 12 from Zayd al Zarrad ]
💠 From Mahasin-e Barqi narrated by Idrees bin Abdullah states: "we were next to Imam Sadiq, when the topic of eating meat arose". Imam said: "eat food with meat one day, another day with (raw organic) milk, and another day with something else".
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 70]
Shahid Awwal states in al-Durus: "it is unrecommended to eat meat all the time as a habit, for there has been a narration on this matter which says that addiction to meat is likened to that of addiction to alcohol". Likewise, it is best not to be addicted to eating meat all the time, (however) without exceeding forty days of no meat consumption; and it is recommended to consume meat once every three days, according to accounts of Hadith. However, if one is sick or is fasting, it is ok to eat meat consecutively for two weeks. Also, eating meat twice a day is unrecommended".
📍Consumption of Raw Meat
💠 Imam Sadiq: "The Prophet of God, regarding consumption of raw meat, prohibited such action and said: 'only animals eat as such. Eat meat only when the heat of the flame or the sun has cooked it".
📖[Al Kafi, vol. 6, pg. 313, H. 1]
💠 also from Kafi: narrated by Hisham who said, "I asked Imam Sadiq about consumption of raw meat to which he replied: 'this is the food of animals'.
📖[Al Kafi vol. 6, pg. 314]
💠 Imam Ridha: "Consuming uncooked meat brings about worms in the stomach"
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 62, pg. 321]
📍Bone
💠Prophet peace be with him said: "bad people of my nation are those who will eat bone marrow."
📖[Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 62, pg. 293]
💠Prophet peace be with him said: do not eat soft part of bone's head of birds because it causes tuberculosis.
📖[Kanzul Ummal, vol. 15, pg. 264 Hadith 40889]

Letter of Imam Ali to Malik e Ashtar
(Part Two)
💠Do justice for Allah, and do justice towards the people, as against your own selves, your near ones and those of your subjects for whom you have a liking because if you do not do so, you will be oppressive, and when a person oppresses the servants of Allah, instead of His creatures, Allah becomes his opponent.💠
💠And when Allah is the opponent of a person He tramples his plea, and we would remain in the status of being at war with Allah till he gives it up and repents.💠
💠Nothing is more inducive to the reversal of Allah’s bounty or for the hastening of His retribution than continuance in oppression because Allah hears the prayer of the oppressed and is on the look out for the oppressors.💠
@AbodeofWisdom
Letter of Imam Ali to Malik e Ashtar
(Part Three)
Ruling should be in favor of the people as a whole.
💠The way most coveted by you should be that which is the most equitable for what is right, the most universal by way of justice and the
💠most comprehensive with regard to the agreement with those under you because the disagreement among the common people sweeps away the arguments of the chiefs and can be disregarded when compared with the agreement of the common people.💠
💠No one among those under you is more burdensome to the ruler in the comfort of life, less helpful in distress, more disliking of equitable treatment, more tricky in asking favors, less thankful at the time of giving, less appreciative of reasons at the time of refusal and weaker in endurance at the time of the discomforts of life than the chiefs.💠
💠It is the common people of the community who are the pillars of the religion, the power of the Muslims and the defense against the enemies. Your learning should, therefore, be towards them and your inclination with them.💠
💠The one among the people under you who is furthest from you and the worst of them in your view should be whoever is the most
💠inquisitive of the shortcomings of the people because people do have shortcomings and the ruler is the most appropriate person to cover them.💠
💠Do not disclose whatever of it is hidden from you because your obligation is to correct what is manifest to you, while Allah will deal with whatever is hidden from you.💠
💠Therefore, cover shortcomings as far as you can; Allah will cover those of your shortcomings which you will like to remain under cover from your subjects. Unfasten every knot of hatred in the people and cut away from yourself the cause of every enmity.💠
💠Feign ignorance from what is not clear to you. Do not hasten to second a backbiter because a backbiter is a cheat although he looks like those who wish well.💠

Holding fast by Allah’s covenant
This is what we inspire from Allah’s saying: “And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves”, where each party attaches its rope to the rope of the others, through the unity of the rope [Allah stretches out], which signifies Islam in a Hadith and the Quran in another. Whatever it may be, it is undoubtedly the line that attaches all people to Allah: “and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies” before you embraced Islam and before the Messenger of Allah brought you together over belief in Allah to open up to all the spiritual values and practical piety.
This Ayah was revealed about Aws and Khazraj, the two main tribes that constituted the community of Al-Ansar (the Supporters) in Medina, when some Jews tried to make them return to the history of fanaticism, so as to stir their sensitivities and drive them to engage in a conflict and perhaps even fighting: “and He joined your hearts in love” (03:103), and what is meant by hearts in the Quran is the minds, and perhaps even one’s innermost, including one’s emotions, feelings and reactions. Once the hearts are joined in love, they open up to each other and maintain unity in terms of the line followed and results achieved.
Allah has consecrated this unity between the believers through His kindness and mercy, as expressed in the Ayah: “Had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them” (08:63). Allah also says in another Ayah: “Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over them” (88:21-22), for you do not own people’s hearts, rather you own the means that could open the hearts and make people come together. Money cannot bring two hearts, two minds, and two directions together; rather, it solves a certain problem, and satisfies one’s greed. It is Allah Who unites them, for He owns people’s hearts and He is the Changer of the hearts.

Why we cry for Imam Husain (peace be with him)?

We cry for Imam Husain...so did the Prophet
Every year, Muslims around the world commemorate the tragedy of Karbala. They attend mourning meetings and processions in which the story of Karbala is retold, lamentations are held and special poetic readers using dramatic techniques and symbolism recite eulogies to mark the events of the day of Ashura. All these commemorative meetings not only serve to convey the events and message of Karbala but also provide opportunities for us to learn about Islam in general.
We commemorate Ashura to symbolise and express our grief and emotions towards the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (AS), to keep Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) cause alive in our hearts and to be committed to his cause. Also, we want to extract lessons from the tragedy of Karbala and apply them to our daily lives. We want to pay our condolences to the Holy Prophet (SAW) and the Ahlul Bayt. You might then ask why we don’t commemorate the death of the Holy Prophet (SAW) who has a much higher rank than Imam al-Hussain (AS). The answer to this is that although we do commemorate and mourn the death of the Holy Prophet (SAW), it is the way and circumstance in which Imam al-Hussain (AS) was martyred which makes all the difference, the fact that he was martyred for refusing a government headed by the wretched Yazid, who drank, gambled and indulged in many corrupt practices, the fact that those who savagely slaughtered Imam al-Hussain (AS) called themselves Muslims is what makes us mourn and lament his martyrdom the way we do.
Imagine this, it is afternoon on the day of Ashura. Imam al-Hussain (AS) is standing on the blood-drenched soil of Karbala in the heat of the scorching sun waiting to meet his beloved. His head is wounded and blood is streaming slowly down his holy face soaking his blessed beard. He looks around, searching for members of his family and his companions, only to find them brutally slaughtered and slain like sacrificial lambs, lying there on the ground soaked in blood. He hears the innocent crying and wailing of the children and the women. Tears flow down his holy face. He takes a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from his face, whereupon an archer from the army of Yazid (may Allah’s curse be upon him) shoots a triple-headed arrow, which lodges into Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) heart. He pulls out the arrow causing blood to gush out. The Holy Imam is thirsty, he cries: “O God, I am thirsty”, in the meantime another man approaches and shoots an arrow which thrusts into Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) throat quenching his thirst.
Hilal bin Nafi’ was reported as saying: “By God I never saw a person getting killed with his own blood all over his body in a better state than al-Hussain. I was so overwhelmed by the radiance of his face that I refrained from contemplating killing him”. Even when the accursed Shimr approached Imam al-Hussain (AS) to severe his blessed head, he said: “When I approached Hussain ibn Ali and my eyes fell on him, the light of his face so gripped me that I forgot my intention to kill him”. It is reported that when Imam al-Hussain was killed, the sky rained down blood.[1] It has been recorded that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (AS) has said:
“…For no one the heavens wept for forty days save Yahya and Hussain…” [2]
Show me such a spectacle of human greatness in an event other than Karbala and I will commemorate its memory instead of Karbala! How can someone hear all this and not cry and mourn, even those who are not Muslims shed tears when they hear this tragedy. Even the heavens wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS).[3] Let me ask you a question, if a Muslim cries over the passing away of their own relatives, then how can they not cry over the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (SAW)?

Imam al-Husayn's sermon after arriving in karbala
"Now then, the situation has happened to us in the way you consider, and (the affairs of) the world have changed, reached an unfavorable state, ignored it's good deeds of which nothing has been left except a residual drop like a drop that remains in the bottom of a container, and a vile life like a stormy farmland.
Do you not notice that the right is not practised and the wrong is not renounced? Hence a believer must wish to meet Allah, for I do not consider death except with happiness and living together with the oppressors except with misery.
People are slaves of the world, and religion is but a lickerish on their tongues preserved so long as their lives go well with it; however, when they are subject to an examination, the believers decrease in number."

Nahju-l Balāghah. Letter No 27
Given to Muhammad Ibn Abu Bakr (May Allah Be Pleased with Him), When Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (peace be with them) Appointed Him as Governor of Egypt:
Deal humbly with the public. Remain lenient. Meet them large-heartedly, accord them equal treatment so that the mighty should not expect injustice from you in their favor and the lowly should not be despondent of your justice.
Allah, the Sublime, will certainly question you, O community of His creatures, about your actions, small or big, open or concealed. If He punishes you, it is because you have been oppressive, and if He forgives you, then it is because He is the most Generous.
Be informed, O servants of Allah, that the God-fearing share the joys of this transient world as well as those of the next, for they share with the people of this world in their worldly matters while their people did not share with them in the matters of the next.
They lived in this world in the best manner of living. They ate the choicest food and enjoyed herein all that the people with ease of life enjoyed. They secured from it what the haughty and the vain secured. Then they departed from it after taking provision enough to take them to the end of their journey, having contracted a profitable transaction.
They tasted the pleasure of renouncing the life in this world, firmly believing that on the Coming Day, they will be neighbors of Allah, where their call will not be repulsed, nor will their share of pleasure be small.
O servants of Allah! Fear death and its measures, and prepare all that is needed for it. It will come as a big event and a great affair, either as something good in which there will never be any evil, or an evil one in which there will never be any good. Who is nearer to Paradise than one who works towards it, and who is nearer to Hell than one who works for it?
You are being chased by death. If you stop, it will catch you, and if you run away from it, it will grab you. It is more attached to you than your own shadow. Death is tied to your forelocks while the world is being wrapped up from behind you. Therefore, fear the Fire whose hollow is deep, whose flames are severe and whose punishment is novel.
It is a place wherein there is no mercy. No call is heard in it. No pain is healed in it. If it is possible for you to have severe fear of Allah and to rest hope in Him, then do both these things because every individual can have hope in His Lord to the extent of his fear of His Lord. Certainly, the most hopeful person with Allah is whoever fears Him the most.
O Muhammad son of Abu Bakr! Be informed that I have given you charge of Egypt which is my biggest force. You are duty-bound to oppose your passions and to serve as a shield against your religion even though you may get only an hour in the world.
Do not enrage Allah for pleasing others because (Allah) is such that He may take the place of others, yet others cannot take the place of Allah. Say prayers at their appointed times. Do not say your prayers earlier for the sake of (available) leisure, nor should you delay them on account of any preoccupation. Remember that every deed of yours is dependent on your prayers.

💠 Al Kafi: narrated from Hossein ibn Khalid, "I told Imam Ridha: people say that whoever refrains from eating meat for three days will become bad tempered". He (peace be with him) replied, "they lied. However one who avoids meat consumption for forty days their mood and body will transform (to an ill mood and weak physical state), because the state of sperm changes (from a state to another state) in this period". [Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 67]
📍Frequency of Meat Consumption📍
💠 Imam Sadiq: "once in a week eat meat, and do not get yourself and your family habitual of eating meat ; because addiction to meat is just like addiction to alcohol. Also, do not refrain them from meat for forty days, because it will surely cause them to become cranky and fractious. ". [Al Usul al Sitta Ashr, page. 12 from Zayd al Zarrad ]
💠 From Mahasin-e Barqi narrated by Idrees bin Abdullah states: "we were next to Imam Sadiq, when the topic of eating meat arose". Imam said: "eat food with meat one day, another day with (raw organic) milk, and another day with something else". [Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 66, pg. 70]
Shahid Awwal states in al-Durus: "it is unrecommended to eat meat all the time as a habit, for there has been a narration on this matter which says that addiction to meat is likened to that of addiction to alcohol". Likewise, it is best not to be addicted to eating meat all the time, (however) without exceeding forty days of no meat consumption; and it is recommended to consume meat once every three days, according to accounts of Hadith. However, if one is sick or is fasting, it is ok to eat meat consecutively for two weeks. Also, eating meat twice a day is unrecommended".
📍Consumption of Raw Meat📍
💠 Imam Sadiq: "The Prophet of God, regarding consumption of raw meat, prohibited such action and said: 'only animals eat as such. Eat meat only when the heat of the flame or the sun has cooked it". [Al Kafi, vol. 6, pg. 313, H. 1]
💠 also from Kafi: narrated by Hisham who said, "I asked Imam Sadiq about consumption of raw meat to which he replied: 'this is the food of animals'. [Al Kafi vol. 6, pg. 314]
💠 Imam Ridha: "Consuming uncooked meat brings about worms in the stomach" [Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 62, pg. 321]
📍Bone📍
💠Prophet peace be with him said: "bad people of my nation are those who will eat bone marrow." [Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 62, pg. 293]
💠Prophet peace be with him said: do not eat soft part of bone's head of birds because it causes tuberculosis. [Kanzul Ummal, vol. 15, pg. 264 Hadith 40889]

🔆 Prophet Mohammad’s speech about month of Ramadan | Part 1 🔆
🍃🔆🍃 "O people! A month has approached you laden with blessing, mercy and forgiveness; it is a month which Almighty Allah regards as the best of all months.
🍃🔆🍃 Its days, in the sight of Almighty Allah, are the best of days, its nights are the best of nights, its hours are the best of hours.
🍃🔆🍃 It is a month in which you are invited to be the guests of Almighty Allah and you are regarded during it as worthy of enjoying Almighty Allah's generosity.
🍃🔆🍃 Your breathing in it is regarded as praising Almighty Allah and your sleep as adoration, and your voluntary acts of worship are accepted, and your pleas are answered.
🔹🍃🔹 Therefore, ask Almighty Allah your Lord, in sincere intentions and pure hearts to enable you to fast during it and to recite His Book, for only a wretch is the one who is deprived of Almighty Allah's forgiveness during this great month.
🔹🍃🔹 And let your hunger and thirst during it remind you of the hunger and thirst of the day of resurrection.
🔹🍃🔹 Give alms to the poor and indigent ones among you; surround your elderly with respect, and be kind to your youngsters.
🔹🍃🔹 Visit your kin and safeguard your tongues and do not look at what Allah has decreed as prohibitive for you to look at, and do not listen to anything your ears are forbidden from hearing. Be kind to the orphans of others, so that your own orphans will equally receive kindness.
🔹🍃🔹 Repent your sins to Almighty Allah and raise your hands to Him in supplication during the times of your prayers, for they are the best times during which Almighty Allah looks with mercy to His servants and answers their pleas when they plead Him......

🔸Some people believe that some things are blessed and good to be at home! But it is difficult to recognize them correctly.
❗️These blessed things are:
1️⃣Quran
Allah says in Quran:
📌 "Mubarak's book revealed to you in its verses."
2️⃣Imam Bagher (a.s):
📌 "God blessed the earth and blessed earth with a blessed and blessed land."
3️⃣olive tree
God 👇🏽
📌 "It's clear from the Mubarak tree of olives that are not eastern and not west."
4️⃣olive oil
Imam Sadiqa (a.s):
📌 "Do oiltherapy with olive oil and eat it with bread because it is the oil of the goods and the food of the elects. It is cleaned two times by Quds and is blessed at the time of coming and going.
5️⃣olive fruit
It is mentioned in numerous narratives:
📌 "Eat olive because olives are from a blessed tree."

Imam al-Husayn's sermon after arriving in karbala
"Now then, the situation has happened to us in the way you consider, and (the affairs of) the world have changed, reached an unfavorable state, ignored it's good deeds of which nothing has been left except a residual drop like a drop that remains in the bottom of a container, and a vile life like a stormy farmland.
Do you not notice that the right is not practised and the wrong is not renounced? Hence a believer must wish to meet Allah, for I do not consider death except with happiness and living together with the oppressors except with misery.
People are slaves of the world, and religion is but a lickerish on their tongues preserved so long as their lives go well with it; however, when they are subject to an examination, the believers decrease in number."
