در افطار، در سحر، هر کجا که حالی پیدا کردید به خدا بگویید من نمی‌دانم چگونه میهمانی هستم، اما می‌دانم در صدر این ضیافت، میهمان عزیزی داری، اگر من میهمان خوبی نیستم به احترام او من را ببخش. آن میهمان وجود نازنین مولایمان امام زمان(عج) است.

استاد فاطمی‌نیا رحمت‌الله‌علیه

'At Iftar, at Suhoor, or whenever you find a moment of spiritual connection, say to God:

"I do not know what kind of guest I am, but I do know that at the forefront of this banquet, You have an honoured guest. If I am not a good guest, then for his sake, forgive me."

That honoured guest is our beloved Master, Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF).'

9 Spiritual Pieces of Advice for the Holy Month of Ramadhan from Ayatollah Abdul-Karim Kashmiri (ra)

1. Quality over quantity.
Don't simply try to complete verses and supplications, rather, try digesting them. Take in small bites of spiritual food so that it becomes part of your soul. Our biggest problem is our lack of importance towards religion. For example, think of how many years of fasting have passed which you have spent eagerly in excessive reading and recitation; where have you reached with that and what did you achieve from it? In the beginning of the month, be sure to make an intention that your fasts are only for the sake of Allah, only Allah! Practice the etiquettes and recommended acts of fasting only to the point that you have energy and spirit for.

2. Ramadhan is the spring of the Holy Qur’an.
In this spring, choose one verse per day and then recite and contemplate on that verse until Iftaar, the time to break your fast. Hopefully, as Iftaar draws near, the true meaning of the verse will unveil itself for you.

3. Endear yourself to Allah SWT.
Break your fast within your home as much as it is possible. In fact, don't break your fast in the mosque. Allow the blessings of Iftaar and the guaranteed prayers in the moments of breaking your fast to be directed towards your family in your home. When you are breaking your fast, endear yourself to God. Bring the first bite of Iftaar close to your mouth, but do not eat! Rather, pray and supplicate. Tell God, "I will only eat and break my fast if you answer my calls". This state of yours will cause miracles.

4. Reflection.
Ensure to spend a few minutes from enchanted hours of the fasting day in the best of worship, which is nothing but thought and reflection. Have some solitude with you and your Lord. Particularly, think about your relationship with the Almighty, in the hopes that the doors of spiritual knowledge and self awareness will open for you.

5. Long prostrations.
One of the most important states of servanthood to Allah, is the one which the Prophet placed a great emphasis on, which is long prostrations (sajda). Indeed, only God and His true friends know the amounts of blessing that are showered on the servant while he is in the state of prostration. Make sure to have at least one long prostration every day.

6. Tears.
The heavenly ark of Ramadhan will reach the shores of salvation through the waters of tears! Ask Allah SWT in this month, to grant you tears during its magical dawns.

7. Manners.
The secret to staying as a guest in God's banquet is the potion of good manners. Treat your children, close ones, and friends with this potion. The smallest moments of anger and ill manners are the moments you are kicked out of this invitation!

8. The Night of Qadr.
From the beginning of the month, your goal should be the night of Qadr. There is much that can be said in this regard, but not all that is known is to be preached. Regardless, strive so that the night of Qadr manifests and happens within your soul, not just within the month! (as in: don't let it become just another night in the month)

9. Attention to the Living Imam (AJTF).
During the entire month, do not sway your attention away from the one who truly fasts this month, i.e. the most perfect and complete human, the Imam of our time.

The Miracle of Hadith al-Kisa

The remarkable healing of a young girl battling cancer through the recitation of Hadith al-Kisa

Narrated by Haj Agha Sayyid Mohammad Alavi Gorgani, as shared by Hujjat al-Islam Ustad Farahzad:

'The son of Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani, who leads prayers and gives sermons at the Jameh Mosque of Gorgan under the name Haj Agha Sayyid Mohammad Alavi, recounted this story:

He said, "Every once in a while, I announce that after the sermon, we will recite Hadith al-Kisa. Anyone who is ready can stay."

One night, we recited Hadith al-Kisa. The next night, as I was about to enter the mosque, I saw a woman with improper hijab standing in my path. She said, "Haj Agha, I have an urgent matter." She was crying a lot and said, "I was not someone who prayed, wore hijab, or came to the mosque. I was tired and was just passing by when I saw benches and chairs in the mosque courtyard, so I thought I would sit and rest."

"I noticed it was time for Maghrib prayer, and several congregational prayers were being held. Your prayer hall attracted me because my heart was broken for my young daughter, who had leukemia, and the doctors had given up on her. I thought I would perform ablution and pray, so I came to your prayer hall. You announced that you were going to recite Hadith al-Kisa, and I had heard that Hadith al-Kisa grants wishes."

"That night, I cried a lot, and my heart was broken. I turned to Lady Fatimah Zahra (peace be upon her) for the healing of my daughter who had cancer."

She said, "The gathering ended, and I went home. My daughter, who was undergoing treatment and needed blood formation in her body, used to drink a lot of water. I would leave a pitcher of water beside her bed at night. That night, she didn't wake up to drink water. In the middle of the night, she woke up and called out to me, saying, 'Mom, get up and bid farewell.' I said, 'No one has come, who should I bid farewell to?'"

"She said, 'Yes, don’t you see? The Prophet of God, Lady Fatimah Zahra, Ameer al-Mo’mineen, Imam Hasan, and Imam Husayn (peace be upon them) have come?' I told her, 'My dear, there is no one here.' She said, 'No, I was asleep when I saw a lady enter the room and said, "I am Fatimah Zahra (peace be upon her)." Then, all five members of the Ahl al-Kisa entered. Lady Zahra (peace be upon her) said, "Your mother turned to me, recited Hadith al-Kisa, and asked for your healing. I want to pray for your recovery."'

This girl continued, 'As Lady Zahra (peace be upon her) was sitting, she extended her hand out the window, and when she brought it back in, she had a glass with half of it filled with water. She handed it to me and said, "This is the remainder of my son Mahdi's (peace be upon him and may Allah hasten his reappearance) glass of water." She gave me the glass, and I drank it. Then she said, "You have been healed."'

Lady Zahra (peace be upon her) then told the girl, 'Tell your mother to observe hijab and pray at the earliest time.' After that, they said goodbye and were leaving when I woke up and called out to you to bid them farewell."

This woman, crying intensely, recounted the story to Ayatollah Alavi Gorgani, saying, 'I was deeply moved, but I still doubted whether it had truly had any effect.'

The next day, I took my daughter to the doctor who was a specialist and had been treating her. After examining and testing her, the doctor said, 'All the tests are negative. What has this girl done?' I then explained the story of Hadith al-Kisa and the events that had occurred. Hearing about the miracle, the doctor began to cry loudly."

The recitation of Hadith al-Kisa is a powerful means to resolve difficulties and fulfill needs. It has been highly recommended by many esteemed scholars as a source of blessings and divine mercy. Share and practice this profound supplication to bring peace and healing into your life.

Appreciate your mother!

Excerpt of the lecture by Mohammed Habib Mukhtarali

A mother has a valued and dignified role. Her contribution is acknowledged and appreciated. Her unparalleled gifts to the child have been aptly described by Imam Zayn al-Abideen (AS) in Risalatul Huqooq – The Chapter of Rights.

A Timeless Letter of Imam Khomeini (ra), written nearly 53 years ago, he sends a message to the Muslim & Arab Leaders and calling the Muslims of the world to fight against Zionism.

The Strength of a Scholar's Slap

The Bravery of Ayatollah Mar'ashi Najafi (ra) and his Unforgettable Stand against Oppression in the Holy city of Qom

'During the time of Reza Shah Pahlavi's enforcement of unveiling, the police chief of Qom, who was a particularly vile and contemptible individual, resorted to force to remove the veil and hijab from the heads of devout women.

One day, in the holy shrine of Hazrat Fatima al-Ma'sumah (SA), he entered among the modest and pious women who had come to visit. He attempted to forcibly remove the hijab of a devout woman. When she and other women present in the shrine cried out and protested, the late Grand Ayatollah Mar'ashi Najafi intervened.

Witnessing the situation, his sense of honour and courage were stirred by the injustice, and he stepped forward to support them, delivering a strong slap to the police chief’s face.
The police chief, taken aback by the slap, threatened Ayatollah Mar'ashi with death.

However, the following day, as the same police chief entered the marketplace, part of the market roof collapsed on him, instantly killing him. The people who were aware of the incident considered this event one of the miracles (Karamaat) of Ayatollah Mar'ashi Najafi.'

[Adapted and edited from the book:
Karamaat e Marashiyya]

The story of Ayatollah Mar'ashi Najafi, is a powerful reminder that scholars are not mere gentle voices but fierce protectors of faith and dignity. His bold act against a tyrant shows that true scholars do more than preach... they stand up, confront, and even strike when justice demands it. They are not meek figures but defenders who carry courage and action, unafraid to challenge oppression directly and defend the vulnerable.

This story firmly dispels the notion that scholars are meant to be passive or soft. A scholar must always be ready to lift his hand to uphold honour and integrity when words are not enough. For believers, it is a call to recognise that real scholars are fearless champions of Islamic values, who confront injustice head-on, and deserve full respect and support.
