The more you understand yourself, the more you understand God.

How lucky we are to have this opportunity to cry over you, Oh Hussain! Please don't ever let these eyes turn dry when your name is mentioned, my Imam! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've kept this piece of green cloth for a few years now and it's been my handkerchief through Muharram majalises, the nights of Qadr, and my ziyarats. It is my hope that the tear(s) that run from these cheeks for Imam Hussain a.s. can save me from the squeezing of the grave and the clutches of hellfire. I am but a measly human, full of sins and errors. I seek your duas in these nights of grief and sadness. Still recovering from flu and fever, prayers please 🙏 #Muharram1438H #YaHussain #DuasPlease

The period of mourning has come knocking on the doors, so I asked the heart, are you ready? #Muharram1438H #YaHussain #DuasPlease

That's why I love being a woman ❤ #Islam #strongwomen #ImamAli

[toresterge-deactivated20160402]

She was not just a wife to Ali. Ali looked upon her as a friend, a friend who was familiar with his pains and his great wishes. She was his endless refuge, the one who listened to his secrets. She was the only companion of his loneliness.

“Fatima is Fatima” - Dr. Ali Shariati  (via sokoot)

[14noor]

A man who finds intimacy with Allah feels lonely among people

Imam Hasan al Askari (as)

[zezeinwonderland]

I placed you in the grave but you still exist in my heart. We are all from God and unto God we shall return. But my sorrow is eternal and my nights, sleepless until God takes me to the same home in which you are now.

Imam Ali (as) (Dr. Ali Shariati, Fatima is Fatima)

[little-orkideh]

Even if you have broken the oath a thousand times, return, He won’t disappoint. His mercy is so vast; your sins are petty in comparison to the Beloved. Not only does He forgive, but He receives you with open arms. 

Is this the creator you disobey over and over? Shame on you.

[michellepsychologist]

Stop what you are doing for a brief moment, and look around you. Feel each breathe you take, look at the palm of your hands, every single detail. Don’t think, don’t judge, just stare at the world. Realize that our concept of time is made up, and in fact this world is still. Let this notion bring you inner peace. For we move fast paced and forget to stop and breathe.

It's feels so surreal that just last week I was in Madinah. It was a meaningful experience, one that I will remember for many years to come. InshaAllah, till we meet again, Ya Rasulullah. Salam Maulidur Rasul🌹 #PeaceBeUponTheHolyProphet #PeaceBeUponImamSadiq

"Joy and comfort leads to arrogance whereas grieving and being sorrowful softens the heart and make the human being wiser." - Tahera Kassamali Through tears and grieving over the loss of Imam Hussain (a) and his family, we develop spiritually. However, we can't keep crying and crying only, we need to translate those tears into action! Contemplate, reflect upon yourself, and take the lessons from Karbala and put them into action in your lives. Don't let the stories of Imam Hussain's (a) sacrifice, Zainab's (a) patience, Abbas's (a) bravery be remembered only in Muharram. There's a reason we say "Every day is Ashura, every land is Karbala". Be Hussaini everyday. #Reminders #Muharram #Ashura

I received heartbreaking news earlier this evening that a Shia brother I knew had been murdered and another is in the hospital after being shot in the chest. Their only crime is professing their love for the Ahlul Bayt a.s. Knowing that such hate crimes against Shias are on the rise in a country so close to home is not only shocking, but also worrying. I'm also angered by the fact that it is the ones that call themselves "Muslims" that are killing their own brothers and sisters in faith. Doesn't our book say "Killing a man unjustly is the same as killing all of mankind"? Doesn't Islam teach tolerance and to stay united? So many tragedies happened in such a short span of time. May Allah grant the departed souls Jannah, and help the injured recover soon. We'll be raising donations for the two brothers soon. Do contact me for further details.

To all my sisters in faith who are having a difficult time, may Allah grant you strength to go through these challenges, and may your faith in Him become stronger. "Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?" Surah Naml:62 #JummahMubarak

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." Quran 39:53 💗
