| Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh): O Allah (SWT) hide my sins..! | for everyone |
It was narrated that in the days that Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh)
wandered with Bani Israel (Children of Israel) in the desert, an
intense drought befell them. Together, they raised their hands towards
the heavens praying for the blessed rain to come. Then, to the
astonishment of Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) and all those watching, the
few scattered clouds that were in the sky vanished, the heat poured
down, and the drought intensified.
It was revealed to Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) that there was a
sinner amongst the tribe of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) who had
disobeyed Allah (SWT) for more than forty years of his life.
"Let him separate himself from the congregation," Allah (SWT) told
Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh). "Only then shall I shower you all with
rain."
Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) then called out to the throngs of
humanity, "There is a person amongst us who has disobeyed Allah (SWT)
for forty years. Let him separate himself from the congregation and
only then shall we be rescued from the drought."
That man waited, looking left and right, hoping that someone else
would step forward, but no one did. Sweat poured forth from his brow
and he knew that he was the one. The man knew that if he stayed amongst
the congregation all would die of thirst and that if he stepped forward
he would be humiliated for all eternity.
He raised his hands with a sincerity he had never known before, with
humility he had never tasted, and as tears poured down on both cheeks
he said, "O Allah, have mercy on me! O Allah, hide my sins! O Allah,
forgive me!"
As Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) and the people of Bani Israel
(Children of Israel) waited for the sinner to step forward, the clouds
hugged the sky and the rain poured. Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) asked
Allah (SWT), "O Allah, you blessed us with rain even though the sinner
did not come forward."
And Allah (SWT) replied, "O Musa, it is for the repentance of that
very person that I blessed all of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) with
water."
Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh), wanting to know who this blessed man was,
asked, "Show him to me O Allah!"
Allah (SWT) replied, "O Musa, I hid his sins for forty years,
Allah (SWT) replied, "O Musa, I hid his sins for forty years,
do you think that after his repentance I shall expose him?"
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa aalehe wasallam) said: "My
entire nation is safe, except al-Mujahirin (those who boast of their
sins). Among the Mujaharah is that a man commits an (evil) act, and
wakes up in the morning while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret, he
says: 'O Fulan! Last night I did this and that.' He goes to sleep while
Allah has kept his (sin) a secret but he wakes up in the morning and
uncovers what Allah has kept a secret!"
O my Allah, the honour of being Your servant is sufficient.
I am proud of the fact that You are my Lord.
You are just as I want, so make me just as You like me to be. الهي كفى بي عزّا أن أكون لك عبدا ، وكفى بي فخرا أن تكون لي ربّا

It is related that one day Jesus (AS) and his disciples were sitting together when a man passed by them. Jesus (AS) said to his disciples:
“This man will die soon. After the passage of some time, they noticed that the man passed by them while he was carrying a load of wood. The disciples asked: O spirit of God! you said he would die soon where as he is still living. Jesus said to that man: Put down your load of wood. He did so and opened it. They immediately saw that a big black snake with a stone in its mouth was among the wood. Jesus said to that man: What have you done today? He said: O spirit of Allah, I had two loaves of bread. I met a beggar. I gave one of them to him (wee it not for his charity, that black snake would bite and kill the man).
Imam Sadeq (AS) said:

On verse 36 of the Quranic Chapter Hajj “...and feed the poor man who is contented and beggar...”
Imam Sadeq (AS) has been quoted as saying:
“The poor man who is contented is one who asks for something and beggar is your friend.”
Imam Sadeq (AS) was in Mena where a poor man came to him. The Imam ordered a bunch of grapes to be given to him. The poor man said: I do not need it. I need money. The Imam said: My God increase your sustenance? That man went on his way empty-handed. Then another poor man came along and the Imam gave him three single grapes. The poor man took those three single grapes saying:
“praise is due to the Lord of the worlds” who gave my sustenance. The Imam who saw this scene said to him: Wait. The Imam said to his servant: how many Dirhams are on you? He said: About twenty Dirhams. The Imam said: Give all Dirhams to him. The poor man took all Dirhams and said: praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds. O God! This bounty comes from you. You are One and have no partner. The

Each day is divided into twelve hours and each hour is associated with one of the twelve Imams (AS) and it is proper to seek the mediation of that Imam in that hour. There are special Duas for those hours in the book “Mesbah”. Seyed Ibne Tavoos too says the days of week are associated with the Imams (AS) and each day we are their guests.

| Imam Khomeini's vision, "those who do not participate are the ones who oppose Islam and are in agreement with Israel." | for everyone |
While some Muslims around the world hold processions to demonstrate solidarity with the oppressed on Al-Quds Day, there are still many – specifically in Muslim countries – who let Al-Quds Day pass by as if it were any other day. In Imam Khomeini's vision, "those who do not participate are the ones who oppose Islam and are in agreement with Israel."
Practically, this makes sense as implied by the narration from the Holy Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny): "If one amongst you sees an evil (committed), then (s)he should change it with his/her hand; if (s)he cannot, then with his/her tongue; if (s)he cannot, then with his/her heart – and that is the weakest of faith."
If an opportunity to denounce evil comes up and a person does not attempt to participate in denouncing it in any way, shape or form, then it seems clear that such a person is in opposition to Islam.
Participating in Al-Quds Day may mean different things for different people, depending on their circumstances. For example, a person who is being bombarded by oppressors day-in and day-out may have the duty to take up arms and resist the aggressor. At the opposite end of the spectrum, one who is incapable of doing anything tangible to confront oppression should at least condemn the acts of injustice in his/her heart.
Each person, in his/her position in life, should uphold the principles represented by Al-Quds Day. Proponents of justice spanning the ages have underlined the need to challenge the oppressor – though this challenge may take different forms and manifest on various levels.

Allah the Wise has made it known to us clearly in the Holy Quran that we are the "best of peoples", in that we enjoin the good, forbid the evil, and believe in Him. Once we deviate from these virtues, however, we are no longer the "best of peoples" being referred to in the verse: "Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors." (3:110)
| Why an international day of Quds? | for everyone |
As many of us are aware, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan has been classified as Al-Quds Day by the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the great Ayatollah Imam Khomeini. This "international day" of observance was introduced to raise our voices to liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque and also to express solidarity with our oppressed Palestinian brothers and sisters who have been facing great trials not only now but for the past 60 years by the Zionist-Apartheid system of Israel. Despite the knowledge of this clear case of oppression, unfortunately there are a significant number of Muslims who pose some concerns and display a lack of passion for the Quds crisis.
Of all cases of oppression, why did Imam Khomeini dedicate the last Friday of Ramadan for Al-Quds?
Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the usurped land of Al-Quds is not just any land; it is a holyland that holds great religious significance. In fact, the war which Israel is fighting against the Palestinian people is really a war against Islam and in opposition to the Muslims, and the means to do so is by desecrating one of the most sacred Islamic holy lands such as Al-Quds. Furthermore, the oppressors (Zionists) of Al-Quds are one of our most lethal enemies today, so there is greater urgency in fighting them over other oppressors. Perhaps one of the reasons why Imam Khomeini saw it necessary to highlight this particular case is because the land of Quds and Masjid Al-Aqsa will be one of the key items on the agenda of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance) and Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) at the time of reappearance. We cannot compare Al-Quds (which means 'holy', derived from the word 'Muqaddas') with any usurped land. The reason is because the land of Al-Quds is a symbol which represents Allah, and thus becomes holy and constitutes Sha'aer Allah (signs of Allah); hence desecrating it is a direct offense to Allah.
As the holy month of Ramadan revives the spirit of unity and brotherhood among Muslims, it was certainly not a coincidence that Imam Khomeini chose a Friday during this month to dedicate for this most noble purpose of joining our hands together as a unified nation, no matter what school of thought we belong to or what nation we come from. When the Muslim world has tasted an example of what the poor and needy suffer by fasting from food and water throughout this holy month, we naturally become more sympathized and united for the cause of the oppressed. Hence, the peak of spiritual recognition in this aspect becomes more apparent towards the latter part of Ramadan, which makes the timing all the appropriate to dedicate as Al-Quds Day. We all share the same concern for Al-Quds and Baitul Maqdis, and therefore, our collective protest on this specified day, particularly as the world is well aware of the Muslims observance of the holy month of fasting, creates a greater effect and speaks a louder voice for the cause of standing up against oppression.
Why do we not have the same passion equally distributed to other cases of human rights violation, such as in Tibet, Darfur, etc?
One may continue in this endless and futile chain of asking "why not this?" and "why not that?" However this type of fruitless questioning will not bring a solution to the existing problems, and there is no value in starting a sequence of comparisons whenever passion is expressed about an issue or a noble cause. After all, one can argue why so much passion about the tragedy of Karbala in which only around 72 people were killed, while thousands of lives were taken in the Holocaust! The comparison here is inappropriate as there are other factors that come into play when assessing a case of oppression.
Granted this world is filled with oppression from the North to the South Pole, and that will be the case until the Imam of Our Time (may Allah hasten his reappearance) fills the earth with justice and equality. There is no disagreement that it is the duty of every human to stand up against any and all oppression we witness, and as the saying goes, "He who witnesses oppression and is silent is like he who condones it and takes part in it." It would be great if there are demonstrations for every case of injustice that takes place in this world till the end of time, and we should exert all efforts to initiate, organize, and participate in such noble efforts. However, it may be beyond our capacity and resources to tackle every case of oppression to the same degree. We should at least exert our efforts in the most efficient way possible and prioritize with the most critical issues at hand, under the guidance of our respected religious leaders, which by default represents all other cases as well.
Why boycott companies that support the Zionist state?
One of the important ways of raising our voice on Al-Quds Day is to announce our boycott of all companies which support the apartheid economy of the Zionist state as a part of the larger Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. By implementing consumer boycott of those Western companies which sponsor the Apartheid state, these companies are being educated about how their close relationship with the Zionist apartheid state is a financial liability.
Part of this education requires participants of the boycott to contact the companies and inform them why you are boycotting. It is an ethical and moral issue that goes hand in hand with the idea of Bara'at (dissociation from falsehood). We learn a great example from the young daughter of one of the close companions of Imam Ali named Abul Aswad Al-Du'ali. When she learned that the honey which she just consumed was given as a gift from the oppressive caliph of her time, she protested by voluntarily vomiting everything she swallowed. It was a feeling of disgust that she felt even though the honey was not forbidden from the jurisprudence perspective. Rather, it was a moral stance by which she voiced her condemnation to Muawiya and thereby stamped her support and devotion to Imam Ali (peace be upon him).
Passive Muslims Avoiding Politics
Unfortunately, there are some factions even among the Shia brethren who have stepped aside when it comes to joining the protests on Al-Quds Day or initiating a rally locally. Some reasons for their silence are the desire to stay away from "politics" or any controversial issue that may harm them or their worldly positions. Some fear that their citizenship or jobs be taken away from them. To those who use the pretext of "politics", we say that the issue of illegitimate caliphate assumed by Yazid in the Karbala crisis is also considered to be "politics". Yet we observe that Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) stood up against falsehood and oppression, even if it is political, and even if it cost him his own life as well as the lives of his beloved ones. Surely, if we seek to gain knowledge of the purified lives of our Imams, we will realize that every one of them were involved in the political environments of that time and struggled to stand up for the truth!
Al-Quds Speaks for All Cases of Oppression
It is imperative for us to bear in mind that when we raise our voices on Al-Quds Day, it is to stand up against oppression not just in Palestine but all over the world, including Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, and Tunisia. It is the day for the weak and oppressed to confront the arrogant powers of Zionism and the Yazids of our time. Likewise, when we lament and mourn over the tragedy of Imam Hussain, which is the greatest of calamities in the history of mankind, we are in essence voicing our condemnation for all other oppressions, and we recognize that Karbala is a representation of "enjoining the good and forbidding the evil" which is not limited to the land of Karbala nor to the day of Ashura. When we participate and promote the yearly Al-Quds rally on the last Friday of Ramadan, remember that we are also protesting the usurped land of Fadak which was unjustly seized from Lady Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her)! From there the tragedy started, and the illegitimate Sunnah was followed afterward!
For those of us who are hesitant to participate in Al-Quds rallies or have any affiliation with organizations that stand up for this cause, it is a good time to reassess our faith as the holy month of Ramadan culminates. Surely it is contradicting to claim that we are preparing ourselves for the return of our Imam when we are struggling within ourselves to protest against one of the most obvious cases of oppression in our present time. Yet again, it is a commonly observed phenomenon that Truth is usually supported by few while the majority tends to lean towards Falsehood where ever it is convenient. We hope and pray that we are not among those whom Imam Hussain described, "Verily, people are the slaves of the world, and religion is just on their tongues. They are attentive to it as long as their material benefits are provided, but when they are tested, the number of true devotees dwindles!"

| THE LAST FRIDAY of Ramadan is marked around the world as Yaum al Quds. | for everyone |
THE LAST FRIDAY of Ramadan is marked around the world as Yaum al Quds.
The parade originated in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The observance was suggested by Ayatollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader of Iran, in August of that year, saying
| I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as Jerusalem Day and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine. | ” |
| “ | For many years, I have been notifying the Muslims of the danger posed by the usurper Israel which today has intensified its savage attacks against the Palestinian brothers and sisters, and which, in the south of Lebanon in particular, is continually bombing Palestinian homes in the hope of crushing the Palestinian struggle. I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters. I call on all the Muslims of the world to select as Jerusalem Day the last Friday in the holy month of Ramadan - which is itself a determining period and can also be the determiner of the Palestinian people’s fate - and through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims world-wide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people. I ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels."[1] |

SADAQAH Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “My father was having less money and had more expenses ,despite that he used to give Sadaqah every Friday. He used to say that the reward of Sadaqah on Friday is two-fold, for Friday is better than all other days.” According to Imam Jafar bin Muhammad As Sadiq alms and charity, given on Friday, collect and gather, in return, compensation, what is due multiplied by 1000 times. Give out in the name of Allah as soon as the night begins.
SALAWAAT The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “Which is the best deed on Friday?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Reciting Durood on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny a hundred times after Salaat-e-Asr on Friday. It is better to recite more than that.” (Sawabul A'amaal )

| SATAN AND HIS HYPNOTISM | for everyone |
Hypnosis is a trance-like condition characterized by an altered state of consciousness, diminished will power, and an increased responsiveness to suggestion. People differ in their suggestibility to hypnosis. A person cannot be hypnotized against his will; he must obey the suggestions of a hypnotist. Hypnosis has been employed to help people with physical and psychological diseases, as well as for harmful purposes. An effective hypnotist is skilled in gaining the confidence of his clients. He knows that `it takes two', the client and himself, to produce the desired effects. Our concern here is with the Master Hypnotist who misleads humanity en mass. The Master Hypnotist also gains the trust of his subjects. But, unlike human hypnotists, he is invisible.
...He (Satan) and his tribe can see you, while YOU DO NOT SEE THEM. We appoint the devils as companions of those who do not believe. [7:27]
Satan meets and even exceeds the qualifications of a hypnotist because he knows when and how to make his suggestions, according to a person's mind, character, desires and habits. He has considerable knowledge of human nature, and he has thoroughly succeeded in rendering millions of humans unable to use their minds.
(Satan said,) "I will come to them from before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left, and You will find less millions of people say,
"I believe in God," when in fact their hearts do not mean it. Their utterance is no more than lip service to go along with parents, friends, or the society at large. Whenever they have opportunities to break away from deception and doubt, they cling to fabricated falsehoods. This leaves them susceptible to Satan's hypnosis. For the Master Hypnotist is given access to the person's true intentions and innermost beliefs, not outward appearances and lip-service utterances. By going against their God-given instinct to worship God alone and uphold His word alone, people enable the Master Hypnotist to set them up for self-destruction behind an invisible barrier.
Recall that your Lord summoned all the descendants of Adam, and had them bear witness for themselves: "Am I not your Lord?" They all said, "Yes. We bear witness." Thus, you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection, "We were not aware of this." [7:172]
Some followers of the scripture wish to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, without perceiving. [3:69]
They repel others from this (Quran), as they themselves stay away from it, and thus, they only destroy themselves with-out perceiving. [6:26]
As for those who reject our revelations, we lead them on without them ever realizing it. I will even encourage them; My scheming is formidable. [7:182-183]
Satan gradually instills his suggestions into the minds of his subjects; ideas counter to the worship God alone. Satan hypnotizes his subjects into doing anything that reflects disbelief, idol-worship, or hypocrisy.
They are like the devil: he says to the human being, "Disbelieve," then as soon as he disbelieves, he says, "I disown you. I fear God, Lord of the universe." [59:16]
A trained hypnotist slowly infuses his directives into the subject's mind because this "drop by drop" approach helps the subject understand the instructions. But, in Satan's case, it is a matter of making a person feel at home with negative prompts. God protects His sincere servants from the Master Hypnotist's obvious and subtle attempts to hypnotize them.
Say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the devils. And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they come near me." [23:97-98]
And the devil will say, after the judgment had been issued, "God has promised you the truthful promise, and I promised you, but I broke my promise. I had no power over you; I simply invited you, and you accepted my invitation. Therefore, do not blame me, and blame only yourselves. My complaining cannot help you, nor can your complaining help me. I have disbelieved in your idolizing me. The transgressors have incurred a painful retribution." [14:22]
When you read the Quran, you shall seek refuge in God from Satan the rejected. He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord. His power is limited to those who choose him as their master, those who choose him as their god. [16:98-100]
(O Satan,) "You have no power over My servants. You only have power over the strayers who follow you." [15:42]
"You may entice them with your voice, and mobilize all your forces and all your men against them, and share in their money and children, and promise them. Anything the devil promises is no more than an illusion. As for My servants, you have no power over them." Your Lord suffices as an advocate. [17:64-65]
| LIFE OF THE WORLD IS ONLY PLAY.... | for everyone |
Know that the life of this world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion.
The Holy Quran ( Surah57, Hadid, verse 20 )
