هذه زيارة الى الامام الحسين علية السلام في يوم عاشور


السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أبَا عَبْدِاللهِ ، السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أمِيرِ المُؤْمِنينَ ، وَابْنَ سَيِّدِ الوَصِيِّينَ ، السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فاطِمَةَ الزّهراءِ سَيِّدَةِ نِساءِ العالَمِينَ ، السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ثَارَ اللهِ وابْنَ ثارِهِ وَالْوِتْرَ المَوْتُورَ ، السَّلأمُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى الارْواحِ الّتي حَلّتْ بِفِنائِكَ ، وَأنَاخَتْ بِرحْلِك عَلَيْكُمْ مِنّي جَميعاً سَلامُ اللهِ أبَداً ما بَقِيتُ وَبَقِيَ الليْلُ وَالنَّهارُ.




أبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ ، لَقَدْ عَظُمَتِ الرَّزِيَّةُ ، وجَلّتْ وعَظُمَتْ المُصِيبَةُ بِكَ عَلَيْنا وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أهْلِ الاسْلام ، وَجَلَّتْ وَعَظُمَتْ مُصِيبَتُكَ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أهْلِ السَّمَوَاتِ ، فَلَعَنَ اللهُ اُمَّةً أسَّسَتْ أساسَ الظُّلْمِ وَالجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ أهْلَ البَيْتِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ اُمَّةً دَفَعَتْكُمْ عَنْ مَقامِكُمْ وَأزالَتْكُمْ عَنْ مَراتِبِكُمُ الّتِي رَتَّبَكُمُ اللهُ فِيها ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ اُمَّةً قَتَلَتْكُمْ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ الْمُمَهِّدِينَ لَهُمْ بِالتَّمْكِينِ مِنْ قِتالِكُمْ ، بَرِئْتُ إلى اللهِ وَإلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَمِنْ أشْياعِهِمْ وَأتْباعِهِمْ وَأوْلِيائِهِمْ.


يَا أبَا عَبْدِاللهِ ، إنِّي سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سالَمَكُمْ ، وَحَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حارَبَكُمْ وَوليٌ لِمَنْ والاكُم وعدوٌّ لِمَنْ عَاداكُمْ إلى يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ آل زِيَاد وَآلَ مَرْوانَ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ بَنِي اُمَيَّةَ قاطِبَةً ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ ابْنَ مَرْجانَةَ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ عُمَرَ بْنَ سَعْد ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ شِمْراً ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ اُمَّةً أسْرَجَتْ وَألْجَمَتْ وَتَهيّأتْ وَتَنَقَّبَتْ لِقِتالِكَ ، بِأبِي أنْتَ وَاُمِّي لَقَدْ عَظُمَ مُصابِي بِكَ ، فَأسْالُ اللهَ الّذِي أكْرَمَ مَقامَكَ ، وَأكْرَمَنِي بِكَ ، أنْ يَرْزُقَني طَلَبَ ثارِكَ مَعَ إمام مَنْصُور مِنْ أهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّد صَلّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.


اللهمّ اجْعَلْني عِنْدَكَ وَجِيهاً بِالحُسَيْنِ عَلَيهِ السَّلأم فِي الدُّنْيا وَالاخِرَةِ مِنَ المقَرّبينْ.

اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْني في مَقامِي هذا مِمَّن تَنالُهُ مِنْكَ صَلَواتٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ.


اللهُمَّ إنَّ هَذا يَوْمٌ تَبَرَّكَتْ بِهِ بَنُو اُمَيَّةَ وَابْنُ آكِلَةِ الاكْبادِ ، اللعِينُ بْنُ ال لعِينِ عَلَى لِسانِكَ وَلِسانِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ في كُلِّ مَوْطِن وَمَوْقِف وَقَفَ فِيهِ نَبيُّكَ ـ صَلّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ـ.

Top Muslim cleric group back Qaradawi over Shi'ites

18 Oct 2008 15:11:53 GMT
Source: Reuters
RIYADH, Oct 18 (Reuters) - A leading group of Muslim clerics has called on Sunnis and Shi'ites to desist from efforts to win converts from the other, but blamed Shi'ite Iran for stoking sectarian tensions in Arab countries.

Fears of a growing sectarian rift have bubbled since Iraq's Sunni Muslim leader Saddam Hussein was toppled by U.S.-led forces in 2003 and replaced by a Shi'ite-controlled government backed by Shi'ite power Iran.

Leading Sunni cleric Youssef al-Qaradawi said in remarks to Egyptian and Saudi newspapers last month that Shi'ites now had a voice in traditional Sunni countries like Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco through proselytisation. He said this could lead to violence.

Qaradawi's comments stirred controversy in Iran where he was attacked in the media and among Shi'ite communities in the Arab world, which are mainly concentrated in Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain.

The International Union of Muslim Scholars, which met in Qatar this week to discuss the issue, said Iran bore responsibility for "sectarian strife" and urged each sect to respect the other's dominant position in different regions.

"Organised attempts by the minority sect to proselytise in areas where the other is dominant should stop, as part of mutual respect between the sects," it said. "The Islamic Republic of Iran should bear its responsibility to end sectarian strife."

"His (Qaradawi's) statements came from his legitimate responsibility to warn the Islamic nation about the efforts to revive sectarian conflict," the statement published on Qaradawi's website (www.qaradawi.net) said.

It also called for an end to sectarian fighting and for protection of minorities. Iraq and Lebanon have witnessed sectarian fighting in recent years. Shi'ites in Saudi Arabia complain of second class status, and Sunnis say their brethren in Iran and Iraq are persecuted.

The ageing Qaradawi currently heads the Union, which groups Sunni and Shi'ite scholars from around the world. Saudi daily al-Watan reported disputes this week among members with some favouring a more conciliatory line towards Shi'ites.

The scholars who framed the statement included prominent Saudi Sunni Salman al-Awdah and Ali Fadlallah, son of prominent Shi'ite cleric in Lebanese group Hezbollah Hassan Fadlallah.

Politically, Sunni governments are concerned that non-Arab Iran and its allies including Hezbollah are gaining respect among ordinary Arabs for championing resistance against Israel and U.S. political and military influence in the region. (Reporting by Andrew Hammond; Editing by Sami Aboudi)

170 Daeth Toll of Orakzai Suicide Blast on Anti-taliban Tribal Field Jirga

Mamozai tribes blamed for Orakzai suicide blast
Updated at: 1240 PST, Saturday, October 18, 2008
PESHAWAR: Alikhel tribes on Saturday accused Mamozia tribes of carrying out suicide attack on the jirga which killed at least 170 people and injured several others in Orakzai Agency.

Mamozai tribes have started to flee from the area to avoid any possible action from the Alikhel tribes.

According to sources, hundreds of families of Mamozia tribes are leaving the area due to tense situation and to avoid the suspected strike from Alikhel tribes. They are seeking shelter in Kohat, Jurmah, Hangu and other parts.

About 170 people were killed and more than 200 wounded when a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden vehicle into an anti-Taliban jirga of Alikhel tribes on October 12, 2008.

Days of the American evil empire are numbered

Shortly after the invasion of Iraq by the American Barbarians on March 20, 2003, I checked with two leading Shiite and Sunni religious authorities concerning the possibility for issuing a Fatwa calling for a Jihad as a Muslim country has been invaded by the Christo-Zionist crusaders. Despite the massacres and the destruction that was inflicted, both of these indicated that God has sent the brutal Americans to test our patience! Aside from Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini, Lebanese Sayyd Hassan Nassurlallh and Archbishop Makarius of Cyprus, rarely there was a revolution led by religious people. As we see today in the behaviours of the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia who is afraid of mentioning the corruption and betrayal of the Saudi Royal family and the Sheikh of Al-Azhar of Egypt who flatly refuses to criticise Egyptian Mubarak for his pro-USraeli and anti-Arab policies. For this reason, I called on Zeus, the king of all Greek Gods, to assist Hezbullah in defeating the Israelis in 2006. It was a very difficult mission as Israel was supported by Bush America and Blair Britain. I must say that I was not disappointed. Recently I have called on Zeus to punish the USraelis and their allies for the destruction of Iraq and the killing of its people on behalf of Israel. Again, the current financial and economic collapse of the Americans and their Zionist allies is of a Herculean proportion; sending them crying for help and making a mockery out of all their interventions. The Egyptians have a song which says “the day of the ruthless will eventually come". As Ahmedinejad predicted, it seems that days of the American evil empire are numbered.

Anger against US as Iraq Shiites bury slain MP

By BRADLEY S. KLAPPER, Associated Press Writer
36 minutes ago



BAGHDAD - Thousands of supporters of Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr marched through eastern Baghdad on Friday to mourn the killing of a Sadrist lawmaker and hear a statement from the anti-U.S. cleric blaming occupation and terrorism for the loss.

The crowd walked through the sprawling Shiite slum of Sadr City behind a car carrying the casket of politician Saleh al-Auqaeili. The body was then taken to the Shiite holy city of Najaf to be buried.

Al-Auqaeili was traveling in a convoy with other Shiite lawmakers on Thursday when a roadside bomb struck it in eastern Baghdad. He died later at a hospital.

As the Friday procession reached the al-Sadr movement's local office, a statement from the cleric was read out mourning al-Auqaeili as a martyr. It called on the Iraqi government to investigate the killing.

"The hand of heinous occupation and terrorism assassinated another martyr of freedom," said the statement, read out by al-Sadr aide Jalil al-Sarkhi. It praised al-Auqaeili for dedicating himself to "get the occupier outside Iraq" and refusing to sign a long-term agreement with U.S.-led forces.

The Sadrists oppose negotiations for a security agreement that would extend the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq beyond this year, and some of the victims' allies blamed U.S. and Iraqi forces for Thursday's blast.

Suspicion also fell on Shiite splinter groups — some with suspected links to Iran, which has sheltered al-Sadr for nearly 18 months — raising fears of new internal Shiite bloodshed ahead of regional elections expected in January.

The convoy of Al-Auqaeili, considered a moderate within al-Sadr's movement, was about 200 yards from an Iraqi army checkpoint in mostly Shiite eastern Baghdad when the bombing occurred, a colleague said.

One commuter on a motorcycle was also killed in the blast, police said.

Al-Sadr's followers have long opposed the U.S. military presence in Iraq, and some of them cited their opposition to a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement that has been under negotiation for months as a motive for the assassination.

Sadrist spokesman Ahmed al-Massoudi said Thursday that "occupation forces sent us a message by staging this attack because of our stance against the agreement."

Later, however, the Sadrist political department called the killing a "terrorist act of criminal gangs," a phrase often used to describe renegade Shiite militants that the U.S. believes are trained and armed by Iran. Tehran denies links to Iraqi Shiite militants.

Maj. Mark Cheadle, a spokesman for the U.S. military's Baghdad command, said the attack appeared to have been carried out by "unaligned" Shiite groups.

Police said they had detained 14 people for questioning, including 12 members of a government-run security force that protects a power station near the blast site.

The attack reflects tension within the Shiite community following the splintering of al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia, which fought U.S. and Iraqi troops for weeks in Baghdad's Sadr City district until a cease-fire last May.

BAGHDAD (AFP) - Mourners shouted anti-American slogans as gunfire gripped the Baghdad Shiite district of Sadr City ahead of the burial on Friday of a radical member of parliament killed in a roadside bombing.

Residents said firing was heard overnight in Sadr City where Iraqi troops and the US military stepped up security after Thursday's bombing that killed 41-year-old MP Saleh al-Ogayly.

"Americans get out. Americans get out," shouted mourners as relatives hugged each other and wept while the wooden coffin of Ogayly was brought out of his home early on Friday draped in the tri-colour Iraqi flag.

The coffin was carried by mourners to the local office of the radical movement of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, of which Ogayly was a member.

The coffin was then was placed on top of a white sports utility vehicle to be driven to the main Shiite cemetery in the central shrine city of Najaf.

Iraqi security officials said there were no casualties from the overnight gunfire and that the shooting died down as US troops took up positions at the entrance to the impoverished district where two million people live.

"There was shooting at Iraqi forces, but no casualties," a security official said. "Buildings were hit."

Mourners remember Muslim soldier who died in Afghanistan

2nd Lt. Mohsin Naqvi one of four killed by roadside bomb

Last updated: 3:46 p.m., Monday, September 22, 2008

COLONIE -- Mohsin Naqvi, a Muslim who joined the Army after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks and then died in an Afghanistan roadside bombing last week, was mourned by more than 100 people at a Central Avenue mosque today.

Male mourners left the prayer room at the al-Fatima Islamic Center about 20 minutes before the start of the 1 p.m. ceremony so that the female members of the mosque could pay respects to Naqvi, who was 26 years old.



The men gathered in the hall and bowed their heads in silence as wailing could be heard through the closed doors of the prayer room. Some of the women chanted Naqvi's first name.

Naqvi joined the Army shortly after the terror attacks and hoped to bridge the divide between America and the Muslim world, friends and relatives say

"Our message is we have chosen this country. We are going to live here. We are going to die here. We are going to contribute in every respect," said Haider Khwaja, the mosque's vice president.

"He has sacrificed his life for the country."

Naqvi was among four U.S. Army soldiers killed Sept. 17 when a roadside bomb exploded near their patrol in eastern Afghanistan. He died during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Naqvi grew up near Newburgh. He was born in Pakistan and came to the U.S. as a young child. The second lieutenant had joined the Army Reserve near Newburgh days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and used his language skills to communicate with Afghans and reassure them about American intentions.

His wife, Raazia, lives with his sister, Tasneem Ali, in Mechanicville.

Six soldiers carried Naqvi's coffin into the mosque this afternoon as mourners filed in.

Following Muslim tradition, the soldiers all removed their shoes before carrying Naqvi's casket into the al-Fatima Islamic Center.

Once the casket was placed inside the mosque, Naqvi's brother, Hassan, 18, cried and kneeled before the coffin. The University at Albany pre-med student held his brother's military identification tags in his hands.

"He was so full of energy, so happy. I have not seen people so happy, laughing all the time," family friend and mosque President Imdad Imam said, describing Naqvi and his wife, Raazia, at their wedding three months ago.

Naqvi was deployed the next day. His funeral is being held at the same mosque where he was married.

Naqvi graduated from Newburgh Free Academy and was a prominent member of the Mid-Hudson Islamic Association. His death comes during a spike in violence in Afghanistan, where the U.S. has sustained 122 deaths in 2008, more than any year since the U.S. first invaded in 2001.

Naqvi was buried in Evergreen Memorial Park in Colonie.

Mourners picked up the coffin from the back of the hearse and carried it 50 yards to the grave. Following Muslim custom, they sat it down three times and passed it along the line of men.

Women sobbed as the soldier was carried to them. Soldiers fired a 21-gun salute and handed a folded American flag to Naqvi's widow.

Men reached inside the coffin to clutch the shrouded body and pray.

Family members grabbed handfuls of dirt to throw on the coffin and mourners picked up shovels to scoop up the earth.

They clutched each other as the grave was covered.

Govt plans to build Green Zone in Islamabad

Updated at: 1253 PST, Thursday, October 09, 2008
ISLAMABAD: The government has planned to set up a heavily guarded Green Zone in the federal capital.

According to sources, an Iraq-like Red Zone will be set up in Islamabad’s red zone area over security situation, while Capital Development Authority (CDA) has already started work in this regard.

Sources said diplomatic enclave, president house, PM offices, Pakistan secretariat and other important places will be guarded by the International Zone (Green Zone) in Islamabad.

A concrete wall surrounding around G-5 and F-5 sectors from Khayban-e-Soharwardi to Margala road will be erected in the capital city.

Al-Qaeda has already announced that America has been defeated in Iraq and asked most of its highly-experienced cadre to head for Pakistan and to North Africa. It is clear that the most effective weapons aginst the Americans and their agents are the car bombs, road-side bombs and suicide belts. As they were effective in Iraq they will be effective in Afghanistan and in Pakistan. The Americans want to drive a wedge between Al-Qaeda and the Taleban, but in vain, as Mullah Omar and the Taleban depend to a large extent on the finances and the sophistication of Al-Qaeda. All efforts must be exerted to ward defeating the bankrupt Americans in order to free Arab and Muslim lands from USraeli occupations.
