Prophets and Saints

For the Countenance of God, His lovers form a chain,

Prophets, Imams, and saints, His radiant face they frame.

In the quest to unveil the Faces Divine,

The journey began through Prophets’ line,

From Adam’s dawn to Noah’s sail,

To Abraham’s fire, and Moses’ trail.

Through Jesus' grace, the message grew,

Till Muhammad (peace be upon them) brought it true.

Within this sacred, radiant frame,

Were souls of honor, lit by flame:

Abu Talib’s shield, and Hamza’s might,

Ali, the lion, the guiding light.

Khadija’s strength, so pure and wise,

Fatima’s tears, like rain from skies.

Hassan, the peace, and Baqir's lore,

Jafar’s wisdom, and truths he bore.

Musa, Reza, Taqi’s grace,

Hadi, Askari, stars in place.

Land of Karbala an anvil of faith 

Everyone is tested in the world of faith 

The veil was lifted from their eyes,

No more deception, no disguise.

Truth and falsehood, plain and bright,

Revealed like day dispels the night.

Seventy-two shone with divine art,

Each a mirror of God’s own heart.

Even a soldier led astray

Found truth with Hussain that sacred day.

Once Yazid’s general, now set free,

He chose the path of love eternally.

Hussain called all with heart and might:

Join me in this sacred fight.

This world is fleeting, wise are those

Who seek the life with eternal shows.

He stood beneath the burning sun,

Saying, “I am Muhammad’s grandson.

I rise not for power, wealth, or might,

But only to uphold what’s just and right.

But the portrait waits its final hue,

One soul still veiled from every view.

To crown the light, complete the thread,

We await the Mehdi, as truth is spread.

Glad tidings to everyone especially the youngsters.

Please read to understand who we are.

Salaam Alaikum,

Imam Ali (a.s) taught that what truly distinguishes human beings from animals is not merely intellect, but the capacity to rise above base desires and instincts. Among the most powerful instincts are self-preservation, the need for companionship, and the urge to reproduce, each linked to survival. While animals act on these impulses without reflection, human beings are gifted with ‘aql (reason) and moral accountability.

Islam, through the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) and the teachings of Imam Ali (a.s), calls us to elevate ourselves beyond these impulses. True strength, Imam Ali said, lies not in surrendering to instinct, but in mastering it, with discipline, faith, and conscious effort.

The Pharaoh of his time, and even the vow made by Satan when he was expelled from Paradise, reflect efforts to strip humans of their divine purpose, by reducing life to instinct alone and disconnecting us from higher values. But Islam teaches us to channel these instincts toward noble goals: preserving life with dignity, forming relationships rooted in compassion, and raising families grounded in taqwa (God-consciousness).

When a person or a terrorist state, succeeds in erasing the noble qualities instilled by the tireless efforts of Prophets, Imams, and saints, humanity is reduced to nothing more than soulless skeletons. This dehumanization fulfills the very promise Satan made to Prophet Adam: to lead mankind away from the path of truth and dignity.

At this moment in history, humanity stands at a critical crossroads, one path leads toward mercy and divine values, the other toward destruction and satanic deception.

There are two opposing forces at work in this world, like anti-matter and matter, one of darkness and one of light. Negative energy rises in defiance, seeking to extinguish the truth brought by Prophethood and upheld by the Imamat. But just as light cannot be overshadowed by darkness, the divine guidance of the Prophets and Imams endures, resisting every attempt to be subdued. The struggle is not just between powers, it is between truth and falsehood, mercy and corruption, the divine will and the deceit of Satan. Despite all darkness, Allah will fulfill His promise written in golden words that He will complete His noor even if non-believers dislike it.

The tragedy of Karbala, led by Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), was not just a historical event but a timeless blueprint for standing against oppression and falsehood in every era. It showed us how to rise when truth is threatened, even if it means sacrifice.

Today, the suffering of Palestine reflects the same moral test for our global conscience. It exposes the hypocrisy of many who claim allegiance to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), not out of genuine faith, but to serve hidden agendas. They could not defeat his mission openly, so they chose to undermine it from within.

True followers of the Prophet and the Ahlul Bayt must choose the path of justice, even if it is difficult, just as Imam Hussain did at Karbala. We all have to search our hearts, where do we stand?

In this way, we fulfill our purpose, not by denying our nature, but by elevating it.
