[Reference: Amaali Saduq, pg. 111] Imam Ali ibne Moosa al-Reza(as) said: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “O son of Shabeeb! Muharram is such a month that the Arabs of the age of ignorance (pre-Islāmic) too respected its sanctity and forbade oppression and blood-shed in it. But these people (the Umayyads) did not honour the sanctity of this month nor of their Prophet. In this month they killed the son of the Prophet and imprisoned the women-folk after looting and plundering their belongings. Verily Allāh will never ever forgive this crime of theirs.” [Reference: Nafasul Mahmum, Chapter 3, Section 2, Tradition 1] Special Databases: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Almost 5,000 Noha Audios: ziyaraat.net/brownohanew_2.asp Almost 1,100 Noha Writeups: ziyaraat.net/findnohatext.asp Almost 60 Soz/Salam Writeups: ziyaraat.net/findsozsalam.asp Almost 1,900 Online books: ziyaraat.net/findbook.asp Almost 1,900 Online books (Urdu interface): ziyaraat.net/bookfindurdu.asp Almost 250 Quranic References: ziyaraat.net/browquranbookmark.asp Almost 50 Ziaraat Writeups: ziaraat/ziasum.php Iltimas-e-dua, Syed-Rizwan Rizvi Webmaster, ziaraat ----------------------------------------------------------- This newsletter is sent to 18,573 direct members at the site and 62,036 indirect members through discussion and news groups ----------------------------------------------------------- Please join as member at Ziarat.Com OR https://facebook/groups/ZiaraatDotCom/ -----------------------------------------------------------
