The night, which is better than one thousand months (83 years) is marked not in joy and happiness -- rather in grief and tears. A night in which the 'destinies' of all are written and recorded is not one in which we focus only on our own material and spiritual needs, rather, one in which we direct all of our attention to our master in recalling the greatest crime which was perpetrated. This sacred night of the 21st of the Month of Ramadhan is a night engulfed in grief and misery over the injustices perpetrated against the greatest worshipper and servant of Allah after the Noble Messenger.

After suffering for two long and painful days from the severe blow of the sword of 'Abdul-Rahman' Ibne Muljim, the lion of Allah and the brother of the Prophet left this mortal world, returning back to His Creator. The man born in the House of Allah (the Masjid in Makkah) was killed in the House of Allah (the Masjid in Kufah) only to be buried in the House of Allah (the Masjid in Najaf).

Regarding divine right of Imam Ali(A.S.) the Holy Prophet of Islam(S.A.W.) declared:
Whomsoever I have authority over,Ali(A.S.) has also authority over him, O Allah! befriend whoever befriend him and be hostile to whosoever is hostile to him.

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said to Imam Ali (A.S.) about what would happen to him in the month of Ramadhan: "'...O' Ali, I weep for what they will do with you in this month. As if I am with you, and you are offering prayers to your Lord, when the worst of the foregone, and those who are yet to come, a brother of the person who slew the camel of Samood has come and gives you a (sword) blow on your head, which reddens your beard....O' Ali (A.S.) whoever kills you has killed me; whoever bears enmity to you is my enemy; whoever abuses you has abused me; because, indeed you are to me like my own self; your soul is from my soul; your nature is from my nature; Indeed Allah the Holiest and the Greatest, created me and you too; He chose me and you too; He selected me for Prophethood and selected you for Imamat; whoever denies your Imamat, has denied my Prophethood."

On this Sorrowful and Sad occasion occasion of the Martyrdom Anniversary of Imam Ali(A.S.) we extend our Heartfelt Condolences and Grief to the Muslim Ummah.

This Auspicious Occasion also coincides with the of Laylatul Qadr (19th, 21st and 23rd).

We pray to Allah (S.W.T) to grant forgiveness, salvation, deliverance, dignity and prosperity to all the Muslims in the world.
Ameen
