Praise be to Allah Who made us among those who hold on to the authority (Wilayah) of Amir al-Mu’mineen, Ali ibn Abi Talib (‘alayhi assalam).

The Week of Wilayah - from Ghadir to Mubahalah: 18th to 24th of Dhilhijjah. It’s the celebration of the completion of the religion!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

إنا لله و إنا إليه راجعون و لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم

إِذَا مَاتَ العَالِمُ ثُلِمَ فِي الإِسْلَامِ ثُلْمَةٌ لاَ يَسُدُّهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ

ننعى وفاة آية الله العظمى سماحة الشيخ محمد إسحاق الفياض.

إلى روحه الطاهرة الفاتحة مع الصلوات

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Over the last century alone, we saw the great influence of Shi’i scholars upon their followers & their steadfast perseverance against attacks, calamities & tribulations.

Salutations to #ImamAlBaqir who had a pivotal influence & role in the making of such great scholars!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Congrats 2 #ImamAlMahdi & the world on the auspicious birth of #ImamAlRidha who is also known as al-Ra’oof (the Compassionate) & al-Dhaamin (the Guarantor).

O Imam! The Shi’a need yr compassion to guarantee their victory over the oppressors through the Waseela of #ImamAlMahdi

#ImamSadiq
“Community of Shi’a! Be a source of beauty 4 us & don’t be a disgrace! Speak kindness 2 people; maintain your tongues & keep them away from vanity & bad language.”

If we reflect on our actions of last week alone, would we be a beauty or disgrace 2 Ahlulbayt?!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

#ImamAli
“It’s only an Eid 4 one who Allah accepted his fast & was grateful 4 him standing up [in prayers]. And every day u don’t disobey Allah is a day of Eid.”

We pray 2 Allah to bless the Mu’mineen on this day to have an Eid according 2 the definition of #ImamAli

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Dear followers,
We’re living tumultuous times. Yet, Allah reminds us, “For surely! With difficulty comes ease. Indeed, with difficulty comes ease” (94:5-6).
May Allah on this day of Eid make the Mu’mineen feel the ease as we experience these difficulties.

Requesting your Du’a!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

#ImamAlSadiq “Du’a changes the decree [of Allah] after it was determined.”
Meaning: Allah gives a command 4 something 2 happen, but He tells the angels that if people make Du’a then do not execute this command.

On these nights of Qadr, let’s pray 4 peace, victory & #ImamAlMahdi!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

#ImamAli was killed, but the message of #ProphetMuhammad prevailed.
The next 10 Imams were killed, but the message prevailed.
Therefore, we must be certain that despite the killing of our leaders, the message of #ProphetMuhammad will prevail through #ImamAlMahdi

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

With a heart full of sorrow and a self full of submission to the command of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala), I announce that my honourable father, al-Haj Hassan Al-Atar, returned to his Lord

Month of Ramadhan Mubarak!

This month of Ramadhan, try to pray 51 Rak’at at least once a week: 17 obligatory plus 34 Nafilah. Help yourself instill a positive change that you carry after the holy month.

Requesting your Du’a.
Jazakum Allahu Khayra

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Dear followers,
Congratulations on the auspicious birth of #ImamMahdi

Ayatullah Shaykh Lutfullah Safi in his book Muntakhab Al-Athar documents 65 Sunni scholars who state that he was born.

We pray 4 his quick return & 2 B among his Shi’a, inshallah!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

The 27 of the month of Rajab is the Mab’ath of #ProphetMuhammad, when the angel Jibra’il descended upon him with the revelation & the dawn of Islam began.
Indeed, following the message of Islam through the path of the Ahlulbayt brings life & success in this world & the hereafter!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

AbuTalib supported #ProphetMuhammad in the revelation & #ImamAli supported him in the revelation &its interpretation.
Both remained steadfast despite the propaganda against them.
Propaganda continues today &the Shi’a will remain steadfast defending the message.Truth will prevail!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Remembering the pain of #ImamAlKadhim in the prison of Harun al-Rashid is 💔. However, it reminds us that no matter how much the voices of evil try to silence the Shi’a, they will be silenced with the chains & blood of the martyrs as well as the ink & words of our scholars!

[Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar @ualatar]

Congratulations to the world on the auspicious birth of #ImamAli

“Refrain from disobeying God when you’re alone, because the Witness is the Judge”.

If people were only to apply the above wisdom, we would be living in a peaceful world!

O God! Make us among the Shi’a of Ali!
