Send blessing upon the prophet Muhammad by Salawat
This post includes some images of Salawat. Salawat is actually a prayer in which we ask God to send blessings on the prophet Muhammad and his family and we also ask God to hasten their reappearance by the end of it and it means that we ask God to hasten the return of the last savior of man, Imam Mahdi.
There is a verse in the holy Quran [33:56] which says that God and the angels send blessings on the prophet Muhammad and at the following, God also asks the believers to send the blessings on the prophet.
Reciting and writing Salawat is recommended a lot.

Mahdi, the promised saviour, is like to the prophets | A quote by Imam Hussain
The birth anniversary of our beloved Imam Mahdi is coming in a few days and I can see all the people loving him are trying to prepare for his birth anniversary in different ways.
Imam Mahdi is our twelfth Imam and the promised saviour who will return and fill the earth with the equity and justice. he is the only man left from the descendants of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and the holy prophet Muhammad and all the other eleven Imams even the other prophets has informed us about the last savior of man , Imam Mahdi.
I recently found a quote by Imam Hussain (PBUH) about the similarities of Imam Mahdi to the holy prophets Noah, Abraham, Jesus, Moses, Job and the prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon them). Imam Hussain has introduced Imam Mahdi as “our Qaem (al-Qaem)” in this quote and it’s interesting to know that Imam Mahdi will also introduced himself to the people by this name at the time of reappearance. May Allah Hasten the reappearance of him.
The quote by Imam Hussain is a bit long so I prepared it as several images in a way that each image includes the similarities to one prophet:

The complete quote of Imam Hussain in Arabic in Kashf al-Ghumma, V.3, p.329:
فی القائم منا سنن من الانبیاء سنة من نوح وسنة من ابراهیم وسنة من موسى وسنة من عیسى وسنة من ایوب وسنة من محمد صلى الله علیه وآله وسلم فأما من نوح فطول العمر واما من ابراهیم فخفاء الولادة واعتزال الناس واما من موسى فالخوف والغیبة واما من عیسى فاختلاف الناس فیه واما من ایوب فالفرج بعد البلوى واما من محمد صلى الله علیه وآله وسلم فالخروج بالسیف [کشف الغمة، ج 3، ص 329.]
The translation of the quote by Imam Hussain to Persian:
امام حسین علیه السلام فرمود: در قائم ما سنّتها و ویژگیهایى از پیامبران وجود دارد: از نوح علیه السلام عمر طولانى، از ابراهیم علیه السلام مخفى بودن ولادت و دورى گزینى از مردم، از موسى علیه السلام ترس و غیبت، از عیسى علیه السلام اختلاف مردم درباره او، از ایوب علیه السلام گشایش پس از گرفتاریها، و از محمّد علیه السلام قیام با شمشیر [کشف الغمة، ج 3، ص 329.]

Happy birthday of Imam Hussain
Happy birthday of Imam Hussain (PBUH), the prophet Muhammad’s grandson and the third Shia Imam; The one who God placed the cure in his grave’s soil; the one who prophet Muhammad said about him: “I am from Hussain and Hussain is from me and God loves who loves Hussain”.

Imam Hussain is the one who is always in our hearts. We never forget how the enemies of Islam killed him in the battle of Karbala and we always see how the descendants of those enemies are still trying to kill Imam Hussain’s name and distort his true way but we are also awaiting for the revenge in companion with Imam Mahdi, the man from the descendant of Imam Hussain, the man who will introduce himself by Imam Hussain when he returns and that is also the time which the prophet Jesus will also come back to help him.

Seeking liberty and justice like Imam Hussain
These days, Iranian people are celebrating the 42th anniversary of the victory of Islamic revolution of Iran. They rose up against cruelty and injustice for at least 15 years with the God’s helps and through the leadership of a supreme leader, Imam Khomeini, the man who said this famous quote: “Imam Hussain (PBUH) taught us all how to stand up cruelty and the government of tyranny. “
Now Iranian people are still fighting against the arrogant powers who try to recolonize Iran and remake it a dependent country with no powers and of course with the right of capitulation for themselves like before the revolution!!! But these people still have the God’s helps and the leadership of Ayatullah Khamenei . Some other countries are also awakening seeking justice even the people of US. May God helps our brothers and sisters in everywhere.
It’s interesting that Imam Hussain (PBUH) is also a role model for seeking liberty and justice in Imam Khamenei’s view :

I made this image from a Imam khamenei’s speech which you can read it completely at here
“Today, Imam Hussain (a.s.) is known to the world more than he was 5 centuries, 10 centuries ago. Today the situation is as such that when impartial intellectuals learn about the history of Islam, and the story of Imam Hussain (a.s.), they feel humble. Even for those who do not know anything about Islam, yet they recognize the notions of freedom, justice, dignity, elevation, and lofty human values, Imam Hussain (PBUH) is an invaluable role model in seeking liberty and justice, in rising up against vices and evils as well as in fighting ignorance and humiliation of mankind.”
– Imam Khamenei (Speech in April 14, 2000)
امروز بیش از پنج قرن و ده قرن پیش، حسینبنعلىِ اسلام و شما، در دنیا شناخته شده است. امروز وضع به گونهای است که متفکّران و روشنفکران و آنهایی که بیغرضند، وقتی به تاریخ اسلام بر میخورند و ماجرای امام حسین را میبینند، احساس خضوع میکنند. آنهایی که از اسلام سر در نمیآورند، اما مفاهیم آزادی، عدالت، عزّت، اعتلاء و ارزشهای والای انسانی را میفهمند، با این دید نگاه میکنند و امام حسین، امام آنها در آزادیخواهی، در عدالتطلبی، در مبارزه با بدیها و زشتیها و در مبارزه با جهل و زبونی انسان است.
(بیانات رهبر انقلاب، امام خامنه ای، درتاریخ 26 فروردین 1379)

Congratulation on the birthday of Lady Fatima , The greatest lady of the worlds
Congratulation on the birthday anniversary of Lady Fatima (PBUH), the greatest lady throughout history, the daughter of the messenger of Allah, the mother of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and the grandmother of the savior of man, the promised Mahdi.

The birthday of lady Fatima is also nominated as the day of woman and mother in Iran. So Happy woman’s and mother’s day to all the women and mothers in the world .
Let’s read about what the Grand leader of Islamic community, Ayatullah Khamenei, has said about women and Lady Fatima (PBUH). I found it very impressive , so I translate it to English as much as I can:
The women in Islam is really respected. If Islam emphasizes the mother’s value inside the family or emphasizes the woman’s position and her duties and limitations inside the family, it does not mean at all to prohibit woman from participating in social activities or political issues or other general activities. Some people did not understand Islam and some other people made this misunderstanding consciously in such a way that women can not be a good mother and wife and also participate in social activities but this is not true. A women must be both a good mother and wife and participate in social activities. Lady Fatima Zahra (PBUH) is the manifestation of such a woman with all these aspects together. Lady Zeinab is an another example…. (This Speech was given at 5.5.1384)
Read more about lady Fatima in another speech of Ayatullah Khamenei at here
A question:
If lady Fatima is the greatest lady in the world , but what about the holy Mary (PBUH), the mother of the prophet Jesus (PBUH)? According to the holy Quran and quotes, The Mary together with the pharaoh’s wife are also the great ladies in the world and these two ladies are the example not only for women but also for all the believers. The places of these ladies are definitely at the heaven but we have a quote by prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Lady Fatima (PBUH) is superior to all the women of the heaven.

Read More…Prophet Muhammad recognized by Christians and Jews
On the birthday anniversary of the holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the last messenger sent by the unique God to all of us, I prepared an image with a verse of the holy Quran (Baqarah: 146) saying that those who are given the Scriptures, recognize Muhammad (PBUH) as they know their own sons.

We all know that Christians and Jews are the ones who are given the holy books as Imam Sadiq (PBUH), the 6th Shia Imam also said it about this verse
But how should they recognize the prophet Muhammad ? According to the transliteration of this verse, the prophet Muhammad is described in the Torah, the Bible and the Psalm as Christian and Jewish Scholars know it although some of them hide it.

+The verse in the above images:
الذین آتیناهم الکتاب یعرفونه کما یعرفون ابناء هم و ان فریقا منهم لیکتمون الحق و هم یعلمون
Those to whom we gave the scripture, recognize him [the prophet Muhammad] as they recognized their own sons, but verily a party of them conceal the truth while they know it.
