Circle for Dua - Safety & Security of all momineen around the world

Assalaam o Alaikum,

Deep sorrow engulfs all of us with the terrible news of hate crimes and terror on a daily basis.  It has become scary to switch the tv to a news channel!  Not knowing who is the next victim of this horrible crime and hatred towards so many in Pakistan lately!  No one knows who is doing it, no one knows who to blame.  Sad situation to a point where anyone with any recognition or fame and relation to the shia sect is being tortured and martyred.

Another sad victim of this hatred was Ustaad (professor) Sibte Jaffar in Karachi, Pakistan.  An eloquent speaker and a lover of Ahlulbayt (A.S), and one who was martyred in the name of his religous sect.  Sadness everywhere, students, youth, adults... all in pain and sorrow for this loss to humanity!  No words to speak of this loss... Our condolences to his family and friends on this sad demise. 

On the same note, a thought comes to mind.  Why not pray for all those in hardships.  I decided to work with a team of youth to create a circle of prayer.  A week long prayer cycle where we pray for those in hardships.  Collecting a set of prayers for daily recitation (tasbihaat and dua as well as surahs from the quran) for the safety of all momineen around the world who are in hardships.  May Allah SWT protect them and keep them in his hifz and imaan!

Let us join in prayers... Recommended prayers are as follows:

Day 1:

Tasbih:
Recite atleast 1 tasbih

LAA H'AWLA WA LAA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAAH

There is no power nor strength with (anyone) save Allah

 

Day 2:

Recite the following verse 129 of al Bara at to remove worries:

Allah suffices me. There is no god but He. On Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of the great throne.

H'ASBIYALLAAHU LAAA ILAAHA ILLAA HUW A'LAYHI TAWAKKALTU WA HUWA RABBUL A'RSHIL A'Z'EEM.

 

 

Day 3:

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

H'ASBUNALLAAHU WA NI' MAL WAKEEL 

Allah is sufficient for us; and most excellent is He (who) protects us.

 

 

Day 4:

وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِيْ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيْرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

 

WA UFAWWIZ'U AMREE ILALLAAH INNALLAAHA BAS'EERUM BIL IBAAD

I entrust my affair to Allah, verily, Allah keeps an eye on (His) servants.

 

 

Day 5:

 

Imam Jafar bin Mohammad as Sadiq advised his followers to pray a 6 rak-at salat in sets of 2 rakat each and at the end recite the following du-a'a

O Allah, give us welfare from wheresoever You desire, as You wish and when You want. Verily You do that which You find satisfying because it pleases You.

ALLAAHUMMA AATINEE BIN A'AFIYATI MIN H'AYTHU SHI-TA WA KAYFA SHI-TA WA ANNAA SHI-TA FA-INNAKA TAF-A'LU MAA SHI-TA KAYFA SHI-TA

 

Day 6:

 

Recite Dua Al Faraj to call the Imam of Our Time to help in this unfortunate time!

 

Day 7:

Recite Dua Tawassul to ask for intercession from our masoomeen in assisting all momineen around the world

 

 

 

DAILY RECITATION:

2. Recite atleast 1 tasbih of Ayat e Kareema each day for the entire week!

 

 3.  Recite Dua of Imam e Zamana after every prayer

 

4.  Recite 99 names of Allah SWT regularly

 

5.  Recite Ziyarat-e-Ashura on a daily basis (Amaal can also be done for a duration of 40 days.  This is proven time and time again as a proven amal for hajaat.  Please recite for the safety and security of all momineen around the world who are facing hardships in this tough times)

 

 

Last but not the least, please recite 1x Surah Fatiha and 3x Surah Ikhlaas for the departed souls and the shohda who have lost their lives in these tough times.    May Allah SWT raise them with the 14 Masoomeen and grant them a place in Jannah.  May Allah protect those who are suffering or in distress in these tough times.  Oh Allah! We need our Imam (ATF) to help save humanity! 

 

JazakAllah

Sad situation for Shia muslims in Pakistan

Born a Pakistani, I have loved my country even though I have not lived there all my life.

Despite the crimes, despite the weather issues, load shedding etc. Pakistan was always "Pakistan", my country I have always loved and adored since it was a place that gave me recognition of who I am.  Over the years, things have changed, I agree... the country is no longer the peaceful place it was during my childhood.

Those days we would just run outside to get Kulfi (similar to ice cream) from the street vendors, or when we ran across the street to play with neighbors... we used to get excited to go visit family and then evenings devoted to playing outside with cousins!  No Fear, no scare of when a bomb will land in our back yard or when we will be blown up for being shia!

Today, I am sad to say, that my country has failed to provide its citizens with the protection that they deserve and this racial animosity has upset several of us living abroad.  At this point, I really wish there was one place this entire shia community could flee to and be safe!  This is not a new occurrence.. It has happened in the past with other minorities and yet again it happens to the shias this time.

It is sad what happened at Abbas Town this past week.  Heartbreaking news and stories are emerging.  I literally cannot swallow food down my throat listening to the reality of what is out there and how many women, children, adults and elderly are suffering.  These are people of my country, my blood, my racial sect! and I CANNOT do much sitting here.  I can only collect funds for them and we can only send assistance there.  But the mere fact that kids have lost fathers, women have lost husbands and mothers have lost children can never be fulfilled.

Sad that based on historical facts, this is being labelled as a hate crime situation, but it is not!  Despite differences, I stand firm in my belief that whoever acknowledges the religion of Islam, that Mohammad PBUH&HF was the messenger of Allah SWT, has fear in their hearts and CANNOT, absolutely cannot, create such a carnage for ANY human being!  Ahle sunnat brothers and sisters are joining forces with the shias.  This is the time to rise in peace and show the world that our country is being corrupted by those who do not want us to coexist!  This is the time to stand in unity everyone and help each other.

It is not only shias being killed!  it is everyone associated with or knowing shias.  These monsters do not consider ppl of any race as humans!  This is not Shia genocide, it is anyone who stands against "them" genocide. 
Kitnay Hussaini Maroge? Har ghar me Hussaini niklega!

The voice of Hussain and his followers has lived 1400 years, what makes you think that any amount of hate crimes will stop the word and message of Hussain?  Knowing the message of Karbala, you haters should already be aware of the fact that Shias do not back down despite torture!  Our imam was an example, and we will follow.  We will stand not only for shias, but for Humanity!  We will stand and wait for our awaited savior! 

Oh Allah this is a prayer for all suffering brothers and sisters around the world, especially those suffering in the attacks in Pakistan at present... La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntum Minaz Zalimeen...

 

Relief will come soon inshAllah... Please pray for the appearance of our Imam (ATF)... we need him to help us now!!!
