Celebrating the Wiladat of Lady Fatima Zahra (s.a.)

Ibn ˋAbbas narrates from the Prophet (S) that he stated:

“My daughter Fatima is the foremost of all the women of the world, past and future. She is a portion of me, the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart and a spirit that resides in my body... Be witness that that I have granted her followers amnesty from the fire of hell.”

Her Birth

According to Shaykh al-Kulayni, Fatima Zahra was born 5 years after the appointment of the Prophet to his mission (bi’that). Shaykh al-Mufid places her birth at 2 years after the bi’that, and Shaykh al-Tusi has mentioned both dates. Accordingly, she lived for 8 or 11 years in Makka before she migrated to Madina, and according to Ya’qubi, two months after the hijra₅, and according to Mas‟udi, in the second year of hijra, the Prophet married her to Ali b. Abu Talib.

Sunni scholars usually mention that she was born 5 years before the bi‟that, in the year that the Quraysh rebuilt the Ka‟ba. Some of them, like Hakim Nishaburi, have also mentioned that she was born a year after the bi‟that, when the Prophet was 41 years old. For detail

The Return of Abraha

Demolish Masjid Al-Haram, demands Saudi Sheikh

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: A Salfi Saudi cleric on Wednesday March 17 has called for demolishing the Grand Mosque (Masjid Al-Haram) in the holy city of Makkah and replacing it with a new one featuring "20 to 30" floors in pretext of preventing men and women from mingling during pilgrimages (sha’a’er ot-Tawaf was Sa`ee) which has been in Muslim practice since centuries, says a report in daily Akhbar Al Khaleej.

Sheikh Yousaf Al-Ahmed, an Islamic scholar and a teacher in Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, was speaking during a phone-in on a Saudi satellite television show.

A viewer posed video footage of the show on the YouTube website, dubbing the cleric "the new Ibraha" after the tyrant who wanted to demolish the Ka'aba 14 centuries ago.

The present Grand Mosque has three floors and is the largest mosque in the world. It is built around the Kaaba, the most sacred place in Islam.

Earlier, the Saudi government has razed a number of holy sites that belonged to the Prophet Muhammad (s), his holy progeny, wives and companions in the holy cities of Makkah and Medinah etc sending a wave of anger in the Muslim world. (www.abna.ir)

Fuzto wa Rabbil Ka'bah

Fuzto wa Rabbil Ka'bah (By the Lord of Ka'bah, I have succeeded). This famous and historical statement was uttered by Hadhrat Ali (a.s.), after accursed Ibne Muljam struck the sword dipped in fatal poison on his head while he was in Sajdah during morning prayer. Imam Ali (a.s.) asked him. "Wasn't I, a good Imam for you?" He replied, "I know, that my ultimate destination is Hell fire."

We have asked from different religious scholars and personalities the meaning and short explanation of this sentence 'Fuzto wa Rabbil Ka'bah.'
