Imam Mahdi(a.s) was born in 15 shaban 255H=869 AD .His kunniat is Abu’l Qasim and his name is Muhammad ibn Hasan ibn ‘Alī. His mother, Her Greatness  Narjir(a.s) (Melika), was a Byzantine princess who pretended to be a slave so that she might travel from her kingdom to Arabia.His father,Imam Hassan al askari(a.s) the eleventh imam .his birth was kept a secret due to the persecution that the  shia were facing during this time at the hands of  Almuatamad  abbasi.After mrtyrd of Imam hassan askari (a.s)his son imam Mahdi(a.s)to be the Imam, appointed by God, to lead the believers of the era. To support Imam Mahdi’s claim,  quote the following Hadith: “I and `Ali are the fathers of this nation; whoever knows us very well also knows Allah, and whoever denies us also denies Allah, the Unique, the Mighty. And from `Ali’s descendants are my grandsons al -Hasan and al- Husayn, who are the masters of the youths of Paradise, and from al- Husayn’s descendants shall be nine: whoever obeys them obeys me, and whoever disobeys them also disobeys me; the ninth among them is their Qa’im and Mahdi. This quote is supported by most Sunnis.

Saudi security authorities raided Shia centers on Tuesday evening, ready to celeberate the largest festival in al-Ahsa on auspicious birthday anniversary of Imam Mahdi (a.s) and ordered to demolish all decorations.
The received reports confirm that police forces raided the village of Bani Ma’an and threatened Shias to prison unless they dismantle all equipments prepared for the festival. Saudi extremist forces seize identity cards of who set up the festival and asked them to refer to police station. Witnesses said that security agents ordered the removal of five sites which were prepared for celebrating the birthday of Imam Mahdi (a.s) on Wednesday evening. The preparations for the festival was began about a month ago, according to participants. It is not the first time that Saudi security authorities raided and destructed ornamental aspects of Shia festivals. Furthermore they arrest participants and directors who set up festivals. Sectarian harassment in recent years is oversee by the Wahhabi governor of Al-Ahsa, Badr bin Jalwi. He arrested hundreds of people and shut down dozens of Shia mosques and religious schools. Saudi monarch, King Abdullah, issued a command to extend the remains of Badr bin Jalwi in al-Ahsa for a period of four years.

Saudi Human Rights activist, Abdul- Aziz Khamis, has warned demolition of historical monuments as well as “Seven Mosques” in Saudi Arabia under the pretext of development and expansion and said it is not unjustified, and called international organizations to protect these historical sites that are not owned by the governments but to the Islamic world.

Abdul- Aziz, Chairman of the Saudi Center for Human Rights based in London, in an exclusive interview to Al-Alam TV, said that it is unjustifiable that Saudi authorities are attempting to demolish historical places, especially “Seven Mosques” under the pretext of expansion and establishment bigger mosques and Islamic centers, replacing with old.

He emphasized that any development or expansion must not drawn to removing the effects of Islamic history in the holy Medina and Mecca.

Abdul- Aziz rejects viewpoints of Wahhabis about religious and Islamic sites as some of the places of worship and warned that the removal of historical sites in holy Mecca and Medina is a very dangerous action and demanded Saudi authorities to prevent it.

He criticized Saudi government and affirmed that Saudi authorities want to manufacture a new Islamic history of their own, while the population of holy Medina and Mecca expressed distress and protested because of removing a lot of Islamic historical sites, particularly in holy Mecca.

He stressed that the intention of the Saudi authorities to demolishing the “seven mosques”, deeply troubled citizens, especially Saudis.

“Saudi officials, including the chief of tourism and other Islamist intellectuals called international organizations to act seriously to protect these historical Islamic sites that are not owned by the governments but to the Islamic world” he added.

Avigdor Lieberman, the brashly-racist foreign minister of the apartheid Israeli state, reportedly recently ordered Zionist embassies around the world to circulate a 1941 photo showing the former Mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin Husseini meeting with German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Lieberman hopes that the picture would help  counter growing international pressure on the Zionist regime to stop ethnic-cleansing measures against the Palestinians, especially in occupied Jerusalem .

The release of the picture is widely viewed as a desperate feat by the widely-reviled Lieberman to make a difference as a foreign minister.

Lieberman has been largely boycotted by the international community, mainly due to his radical and expressly racist views.

Given his pariah status around the world, the Israeli government went as far as asking other Israeli officials, such as Defence Minister Ehud Barak, to carry out the Foreign Minister’s functions, especially in talks with American and European officials.

Lieberman’s desperate act is likely to raise many eyebrows since it comes from a man whose mindset and ideological convictions differ little from those of Adolf Hitler.

Indeed, Lieberman’s infatuation with Jewish nationalism (the correct term is Jewish fascism) can be viewed as a virtual carbon copy of Hitler’s obsession with German nationalism.

Moreover, Lieberman’s brazenly racist discourse against non-Jews in general and Israel’s Palestinian  population is nothing short of  a later-day echo of the Aryan Nazi ideology.

Furthermore, Liberman’s strident bellicosity and pugnacity resemble to a large extent the Nazi rhetoric against Germany’s neighbours which later found expression in the invasion of Poland and occupation of large parts of Europe .

For example, Lieberman has called for dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza, blanket-bombing Palestinian streets, shopping centres, banks, and neighbourhoods for the purpose of forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their homeland in order to make a “lebensraum” available for Jewish settlers.

He also called for drowning Palestinian political prisoners in the Dead Sea, bombing Tehran and the Aswan Dam in Egypt.

In fact, this thuggish petty criminal is the last person on earth who is morally qualified to criticize Amin Husseini for having a brief encounter with the leader of the Third Reich.

Well, does Lieberman dare to tell us how many Jewish Zionist leaders allied themselves with Hitler? Does he dare to tell us how many Jewish soldiers and officers served in the Wehrmacht, Gestapo and SS? And then  what about the close relationship between the Third Reich and Jewish terrorist groups operating in Palestine , such as the Stern Gang? And what about the tacit understandings between the Zionist and Nazi leaderships according to which the Zionists accepted  that hundreds of thousands of European Jews be annihilated rather than allowed to immigrate to North America?

According to the late Israeli writer and intellectual Israel Shahak, Jewish soldiers serving in the Nazi security apparatus were most feared by the local Jewish population. Shahak, a holocaust survivor himself, related that when a Jewish mother sent her son to do an errand, she taught him that he might pass through a German checkpoint but never through a Jewish-manned checkpoint.

Besides, Husseini was a man who saw his country, his ancestral homeland, being devoured by the British-backed Zionist movement, and thought, rightly or wrongly, that enlisting the support of a contemporary world power like Germany might help his people save their country and regain their freedom and independence.

Hence, one might really ask why it was perfectly acceptable for Zionists to collaborate with the Nazis in order to save Jewish lives whereas it was totally wrong for the leadership of a people facing near extermination at the hands of Zionism to behave similarly for the purpose of saving their people.

True, Hitler was a mass murderer, par excellence.  But how about Jewish mass murderers, before and after Hitler?

Today, in Israel, school students complete their high school education without ever hearing the name “Genrikh Yagoda” (Genrich Grigorivc Yagoda), who is one of the greatest murderers of all time.

Yagoda diligently carried out Stalin’s collectivization orders and was responsible for the death of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the genocidal Gulag system.  And after Stalin no longer viewed him favourably, Yagoda was demoted and subsequently executed, and was replaced as Chief Hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the ‘bloodthirsty dwarf’ who had a Jewish wife.

Another Russian Jew named Lazar Kaganovitch, also an aide to Stalin, was responsible for the extermination of  millions of  Ukrainians. During the harsh winter of 1932-33, mass starvation created by Kaganovitch reached critical levels and Ukrainians were forced to eat their pets, boots and belts, plus bark and roots. Some parents even ate infant children.

More to the point, it is really ironic in a certain sense that Zionism projects itself as an antithesis of Nazism when nearly all Nazi characters have been nearly literally copied by the Zionist leadership.

Zionism, for example,  has declared all Jews a distinct ethnicity, just as the Nazis had declared all Germans a distinct ethnicity.

Both Zionism and Nazism strove to build a ‘state’ that would be ‘redeemed’ through violent purification (in the case of Nazi Germany) and ‘an Iron wall’ (in the case of Zionist Israel).

In both instances, ethnic cleansing was the main tool used to obliterate the ‘inferiors,’ the ‘water carriers and wood hewers’ in order to create ‘German-only’ settlements in Europe and ‘Jewish-only’ settlements in Palestine .

In all honesty, there are no fundamental differences between Jewish national socialism (Zionism) and German national socialism (Nazism). The Nazis preached the  ‘Master Race’ to justify Nazism while Zionists adopted the ancient myth of the ‘Chosen People’ to justify Zionism.

Moreover, we can’t really ignore the absolute similarity between the Zionist ethnic conquest of Palestine and the implanting therein of ‘Jewish settlers’ at the expense of the native Palestinian Muslims and Christians, and the Nazi drive for ‘Lebensraum’ in Poland and the importation of  ‘Aryans’ at the expense of the indigenous population.

Yes, there in Europe, the Nazis sought to steal the Sudetenland and here in Palestine , the Zionists are stealing the West Bank . The arguments are the same, the lies are the same and the means are nearly identical.

We need to highlight these similarities and the ‘common ground’ between Zionism and Nazism, irrespective of how many people will be upset by these comparisons. The truth is always a paramount value in itself.

The Nazi-like occupation of Palestine by Israel is not the act of a few Israeli Jews. It is not even the act of the military establishment alone.  It is the collective act of a morally desensitized society that has nearly lost its humanity and succumbed to a collective psychosis that is not unlike the moral blindness that struck the German people more than sixty years ago.

In some ways, Palestinians have fared far worse than Hitler’s victims; for the Palestinian tragedy is ongoing and Palestinians, unlike Jews, who still receive compensation for losses dating back sixty years, receive no reparations for lost personal property, not even an acknowledgment from their tormenters of any responsibility for their dispossession.

Sixty years ago Zionists demolished 438 Palestinian villages and poisoned or destroyed wells to ensure that their rightful owners would not return.  Today, Zionists keep on behaving more or less along the same traditions, demolishing homes, destroying farms, and narrowing people’s horizons, all with the goal of making them emigrate.

Today in every junior high school in America , students read Anne Frank, while in every high school Elie Wiesel’s ‘Night’ is requisite reading. This is the man who says brazenly that he readily identifies with Israeli crimes and that he couldn’t bring himself to say bad things about Israel.
The victims of the first Kristallnacht enjoy the world’s approbation and sympathy, while at the same time having succeeded in demonizing an entire people, for whom Kristallnacht still remains a night without end.

But, unlike the German national socialists, Jewish national socialists are falsifying history and reality to justify their crimes against humanity. The Holocaust narrative, which has been elevated to the status of a religion, allows Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, to invoke the mantra ‘Never Again’ while it sits on Arab lands stolen from Ein Karem and overlooking the unmarked graves of Palestinians massacred by Judeo-Nazi terrorists at Deir Yassin.

It is sad, really sad, that most Jews are now finding themselves in the shoes of their former oppressors, knowingly and consciously.

On August 23, 1947, nearly one year before Israel ’s birth, Harry Truman wrote the following to Eleanor Roosevelt, apparently in the wake of another Jewish atrocity in Palestine :

“I fear very much that the Jews are like all underdogs. When they get on the top they are just as intolerant and cruel as the people were to them when they were underneath.  I regret this situation very much because my sympathy has always been on their side.

In light of Israel’s Nazi-like behavior in Palestine, it is difficult to view Truman’s prophetic words with indifference.  In fact, it is a moral obligation of the first order to oppose Zionism with the same vigour and same determination the world demonstrated in the face of Nazism.

In the House of the Holy Prophet S.A.W, which presented the best image of both the worlds – the heaven and the earth- a child who benefited humanity as if he was a Divine Impression reflecting the earth, was born on one of the nights of the month of Sha’ban. His father was Imam ‘Ali A.S, the best model of kindness towards his friends and the bravest against the enemies of Islam, and his mother was Hazrat Fatimah S.A, the only daughter and child of the Holy Prophet, who had as universally acknowledged, inherited the qualities of her father.

On the very day when Imam Hussein A.S was born, Allah S.W.A ordered angel Jibriel to descend and congratulate the Holy Prophet A.S on His Behalf and on his own. While descending, Jibriel passed over an island where the angel Futrus had been banished due to his delay in executing a commission assigned by Allah S.W.A. He was deprived of his wings and expelled to the island where he remained for several years praying and worshipping Allah S.W.A and asking for His forgiveness. “When the angel Futrus saw Jibriel, he called out, ‘ Where are you going, O Jibriel?’ To this he replied, ‘ Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad S.A.W is born, and for this very reason Allah S.W.A has commanded me to convey His congratulations to His Apostle.’ Thereupon, the angel said, ‘ Can you carry me also along with you? May Muhammad S.A.W recommend my case to Allah S.W.A.’ Jibriel took the angel along with him, came to the Holy Prophet S.A.W, offered congratulations to him on behalf of Allah S.W.A and himself and referred the case of the angel to him. The Holy Prophet S.A.W said to Jibriel, ‘Ask the angel to touch the body of the newly-born child and return to his place in Heaven.’ On doing this, the angle re-obtained his wings instantly and praising the Holy Prophet (S A) and his newly- born grandson, ascended towards the Heaven.

Some sayings of the Holy Prophet (S A) During his Lifetime with Reference to Imam Hussein A.S:

1. Hasan and Hussein are the Leaders of the Youths of Paradise.

2. Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein, Allah befriends those who befriend Hussein and He is the enemy of those who bear enmity to him.

3. Whosoever wishes to see such a person who lives on earth but whose dignity is honoured by the Heaven- dwellers, should see my grandson Hussein. My son! thy flesh is my flesh and thy blood is my blood; thou art a leader, the son of a leader and the brother of a leader; thou art a spiritual guide, the son of a spiritual guide and the brother of a spiritual guide; thou art an Apostolical Imam, the son of an Apostolical Imam and the brother of an Apostolical Imam; thou art the father of nine Imams, the ninth of whom would be the Qa’im (the last infallible spiritual guide).

4. The punishment inflicted on the murderer of Hussein in Hell would be equal to half of the total punishment to be imposed on the entire sinners of the world.

5. When the Holy Prophet S.A.W informed Hadrat Fatimah S.A of the martyrdom in store for his grandson, she burst into tears and asked, “O my father ! when would my son be martyred?” “In such a critical moment,” replied the Holy Prophet S.A.W, “When neither I nor you, nor ‘ALI would be alive.” This accentuated her grief and she inquired again, “Who then, O my father, would commemorate Hussein’s martyrdom? ” The Holy Prophet S.A.W said, “The men and the women of a particular sect of my followers, who will befriend my Ahlul-Bayt, will mourn for Hussein and commemorate his martyrdom each year in every century.”

Khwaja Mu’inu ‘d-Din Chishti says:

He gave his head, but did not put his hand into the hands of Yazid. Verily, Hussein is the foundation of la ila ha illa Allah. Hussein is lord and the lord of lords. Hussein himself is Islam and the shield of Islam. Though he gave his head (for Islam) but never pledged Yazid. Truly Hussein is the founder of “There is no Deity except Allah.” Brown in his A Literary History of Persia writes: As a reminder, the blood-stained field of Karbala’ where the grandson of the Apostle of God fell at length, tortured by thirst and surrounded by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at any time since then sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic grief and the exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger, and death shrink to unconsidered trifles. Yearly, on the tenth day of Muharram, the tragedy is rehearsed in Persia, in India, in Turkey, in Egypt, wherever a Shi’ite community or colony exists; . . . As I write it all comes back; the wailing chant, the sobbing multitudes, the white raiment red with blood from self inflicted wounds, the intoxication of grief and sympathy.

Miracle at Birth of Imam Hussein

Imam Hussein (A.S.) was born in Medina on the 3rd of Sha’ban 4 A.H.

On the day he was born, Allah told the angel Jibraail to go and congratulate the Prophet (S.A.W.), Imam Ali (A.S.) and Sayyida Fatima Az-Zahra (A.S.).

On the way down from the heavens, Jibraail passed an island where the angel Fitrus was banished to (as a punishment for taking too long in doing something Allah had ordered him to do). His wings had also been taken away. “Where are you going, Jibraail?” Fitrus asked. Jibraail told him he was going to congratulate the Prophet (S.A.W.) and his family on the birth of Imam Hussein (A.S.) “Can I come with you?” Fitrus asked. With Allah’s permission, Jibraail took Fitrus with him. They congratulated the Prophet (S.A.W.). The Prophet (S.A.W.) asked Fitrus to touch the cradle of Imam Hussein (A.S.).

As soon as he touched the cradle, with the permission of Allah his wings were restored. He thanked the Prophet (S.A.W.) When Fitrus returned to the heavens; all the other angels asked him what perfume he had used because there was a fragrance coming from him. Fitrus replied:

“I am the lucky one who has touched the cradle of Imam Hussein (A.S.)

In an interview with IRNA, Jawwad, Friday Prayer Leader of historical Asafi Mosque at Lucknow, capital city of Uttar Pradesh, paid tribute to Imam Khomeini (R.A.), the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and said: “He (Imam) founded a sapling which has blossomed and grown up with deep roots. The big powers, in spite of a variety of conspiracies have been disappointed in confronting it”.

Focusing on his “Charistamic Personality”, Shia scholar said that “Relying upon faith and without fearing any threats, in an era when religion had weak presence in the society and even was exposed to ignorance owing to prevalence of materialistic views, Imam Khomeini (R.A.) entered the scene and introduced religion as the basis for human lifestyle and founded a state on the foundation of religion”.

Jawwad, while highlighting on Imam’s guidelines on unity among Muslims, said: “Imam Khomeini (R.A.) always emphasized that Muslims are brothers and will not be segregated by the pseudo-propaganda sponsored by corrupt elements.
If Islamic brotherhood comes to the fore among Islamic countries, such will become a great power which none of the global powers will be able to cope with”.

“Today Imam Khomeini is not with us but his soul would remain the beacon light for the generations to come”, Jawwad concluded.

Another Shia Scholar from Lucknow, Maulana Mirza Mohammad Ashfaq while paying tribute to Imam on his 20th death anniversary said: “Imam Khomeini’s insights and understanding of the real world and his solutions to the problems based solely on Quranic injunctions and with faith in Allah, rather than political or diplomatic games with reliance on earthly powers”.

Ashfaq was of the view that Muslims dignification around the globe based upon only and only on Imam Khomeini’s guidelines.
