Birth of Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (AS)

    On the 13th of the month of Rajab, twenty-three years before the migration of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) a child was born in the family of Abu Talib, the light of whom kindled the whole World. Kunaab Mecci narrates about his birth: "We and Abbas (Ibne Abdul Mutalib) were sitting together when suddenly we saw Fatima bint-e-Asad moving towards the Kaabah in the condition having delivery pain and saying "Oh God I have faith in you and the Prophet (i.e., Abraham) who by your command laid the foundation of this house. O God! I swear you by the same Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and swear you by the child in my womb make this birth comfortable and easy for me."

    This was the time when all of us saw with our own eyes that the wall of Kaabah broke apart and Fatima bint-e-Asad entered into the Kaabah. Then the wall again united.

    We ran terrified and trembling to our houses to send our women into the Kaabah for the help and assistance of Fatima bint-e-Asad. We did our best but the door did not open. This event surprised all the people of Makkah.

    The women of Makkah were anxiously counting moments to meet Fatima bint-e-Asad till the time she came out of the Kaabah along with a beautiful baby, saying, "God has chosen me from among the ladies of Makkah and He made me His guest in His house and gave me meals and fruits of the heaven to eat.

    The ladies who were surrounding her in the form of a circle and escorting her to her home asked her, "What name have you given to this child?"

    Fatima bint-e-Asad said: "When I was in the Kaabah, I heard a hidden voice call," Name this child "ALI".

سلام به همه دوستان عزيز

اميدوارم که هفته خوبي رو گذرونده باشيد.

مطلب امروز به تناسب اين هفته، در مورد مادرهاست و تقديمش ميکنم به همه مادرهاي دنيا (مخصوصا مادر خودم).

بخونيد، لذت ببريد، اگر دوست داشتيد نظر هم بديد!

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
we never get to say.

«روز مادر مبارک» چيزي بالاتر از

شادباش يک روز است،

در لا به لاي اين کلمات

حرفهاي ناگفته زيادي است.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

اول از همه، يعني اينکه دوستت دارم،

و به خاطر تمام کارهايي که برايم انجام داده اي از تو ممنونم.

يعني اينکه تو برايم بسيار باارزش هستي،

و من به تو افتخار ميکنم.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love…

اما مهمتر از هر چيز، فکر ميکنم معناي اين جمله

اينست که من، سرشار از شادي و عشق

 در فکر شادي تو در اين روز هستم،

روزي که متعلق به توست...

روز جمعتون به خير!

براي امروز يک متن کوتاه و جالب در نظر گرفتم که اميدوارم از خوندنش لذت ببريد.

اگر مطلب خاصي وجود داره که دوست داريد تو اين وبلاگ در موردش صحبت بشه، کافيه در بخش نظرات مطرح کنيد!

Letters to God

Little John came into the kitchen and told his mom, "Mom, I want a bike for my birthday". Mom said, "John, go to your room and think about how you behaved this year. Then write a letter to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your birthday". John sat down to write a letter to God.

Letter No.1: Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday, and I want a Red one, your friend, John.

John knew he had not been a good boy that year, so he tore up that letter and started a new one.

Letter No.2: Dear God, I have been an "OK" boy this year. I still would like a bike for my birthday.

He knew that was not true either, so he tore up that one and started another.
