Celebrating the Birth of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)

The middle of the month of Shabaan holds, after the birth of the Messenger of Allah, one of the most important commemorations for the Shia and indeed the entire world of the oppressed and downtrodden. It is on the 15 of the year 255 AH, that Allah brought in the world, the completion of His light which would, in the future, make Islam the dominant force over the entire globe – even if the disbelievers and polytheists detest it – Imam al-Hujjat ibnil Hasan al-Askari (may Allah hasten his return). . .


What All Muslims, Around The world, Are Waiting For
History has witnessed many social movements, efforts, and governments where a group of people work together towards a common goal. At times, the purpose of such organization was to maintain society; on other occasions, their efforts called for a cultural or structural change. Regardless of the situation, there is a consequential need to rally behind a chosen leader to champion their mission.

What is the purpose of selecting a leader? Why is this concept apparent in different cultures, different races, different religions, and throughout history? Despite their differences, the majority of religions mention a leader who will arrive at the end of time, when all attempts to organize society have failed, and mankind has been brought to its knees. . .


Advent of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)


Imam Mahdi (a.s.) is the twelfth and last of the chain of the Purified Imams (a.s.) and the divine successors. He was born at the time of dawn, on Friday the 15th of Shaban 255 A.H. in the city of Samarrah (Kamaaluddin vol. 2, Pg. 428, 433 424, 430). His respected father is Imam Hasan al-Askari (a.s.). His beloved mother is Janab-e-Nargis Khatoon (r.a.). She was the descendant of the Caesar of Rome from her father's side and from her mother's side she had descended from Shamoon the vicegerant of Hazrat Isa (a.s.). . .


The Twelfth Imam, Muhammad ibn Hasan Al-Mahdi (a.s.)


Traditions have been reported mentioning the signs for the time of the appearance of the Imam who will arise (qa'im), peace be on him, and the events which will take place before his appearance, together with the indications and features of it. Among them are: The Sufyani will come out in revolt; the Hasanid will be killed; the Abbasids will dispute over worldly kingdom; there will be an eclipse of the sun in the middle of the month of Ramadan. . .


Read it before you burn it.
The book you are about to read is an English translation of the Scripture that Prophet Muhammad said was revealed to him by God, word for word, in the Arabic language. This book is not only still with us in its original form, but the life of the man to whom it was revealed is also recorded in authentic historical records so meticulously that some of the Westerners who studied his life have described him as being "the only historical figure among founders of religions". . .


Fatima Is Fatima

Shariati takes us to the heart of Shi'ism - Fatima, the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He describes the woman we could not see, the one we thought we knew but only after his guidance do we become aware of the fact that although we related each day directly to her spirit, she had been lost as a model for our daily lives. That is, we had an emotional attachment to her inner essence but we had removed her form. Shariati takes us to Fatima. He begins with the social customs of the Arabian Peninsula before her birth where according to custom, female children were buried alive at birth in order to save the family from the disgrace of having an unsuitable son-in-law. It was the revolutionary message of Islam which did away with this custom. God reveals through the Quran that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had been given the abundant river of Paradise and through that river, he shall have abundant progeny although according to Arab beliefs at that time, a man without a son is called 'cut-off'. How could it be? The father of a daughter will have abundant progeny?

This is a biography of Fatima az Zahra a.s. daughter of Prophet of Islam (saww), upto the time of Prophets death. Because of the extremely sensitive period which followed Prophets death, and the everlasting effects which the events thereafter left upon the Islamic ideology and the structure of various Muslim sects and issues, the compiler deemed necessary to study various historical books, especially those which dealth with Lady Fatima Zahra's life, to come up with the most accurate information regarding the prime of the post period of the Prophets death. Moreover, various sermons which were delivered during those events, were intentionally included in the book especially Fatima's speeches so as to allow researchers to study the said historical events independently. In the end, we would like to mention that this book will be very useful not only to information seeking readers, but also to researchers and history students.

Another interesting feature of this book is that it is absolutely free from heresies and concocted stories invented by vested interests. This book gives full details of the entire life of the Holy Prophet of Islam.
