Salām 'Alākum, Peace be upon you all, those spending Eid today, May God accept your 'Amāl, for us tomorrow, May Allah accept. I don't want to make your Day gloomy or sad, but, another day without #ImamZaman, #ImamMahdi, is not the same and I do wish to share this report with you as it gives us all an insight as to the state of Imam during these days. Al-Kūlyānī has reported with his chain of transmission on the authority of Razeen, he said: Abū ’Abdullāh al-Sadīq (peace be upon him) said: When al-Husāyn b. ’Ālī (peace be upon him) was struck and he fell into the ground and the enemies were about to sever his head. A call came forth from the depths of the Heavens saying, 'O Nation of the Prophet, thy are Lost and Misguided after him, May you not see success of al-Adha and al-Fitr (Eīds)'. Imam than said, "By Allah, they will not find success, nay, never will they until the Avenger Avenges the Blood of al-Husāyn". — al-Kāfī Only true Eid we have is during Ghadīr, at least during that time we remember the true Imam where as today, everyone celebrates their Imams of disbelief. The essence of Eid is to gather around the Imam, and his rights are in the hands of the enemies. Imagine an Eid with your Imam, how beautiful? Also, let us try to remember Lady Zaynab, alehi salam, during these nights. Let's celebrate with moderation and respect the sanctity of the oppressed daughter of Ale Muhammad, Zaynab al-Kubra. May you all be blessed, forgive me for my shortcomings and inshallah tomorrow I'll share another Hadith from Imam Sadiq, alehi salam, who says that these days only renew for us sadness. Salamūn 'Alā Sahīb al-Zaman. #ImamMahdi #Karbala #ImamHussein #ImamHussain #Ziyarah #Ziyarat #EndlessSadness #Shia #Tradition #Hadith #Islam #Caliphate (at Ottawa, Ontario)
