Sharekalak, Labbayk Allah Humma Labbayk!" Subhanallah, May Allah swt Make This a Reality From His Mercy, Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris.  F rom the beginning of this month, I cannot help but think of our Master Hussain a.s for it was during these days that he was on his way to Karbala. He went carrying the banner of Baya Lillah and because of him, we are Muslims, because of him we know not to bow to any tyrant, because of him Salah was preserved, because of him we know the importance of Sacrifice for the Truth of La Illaha Ilallah and it was because of him and his sister, the hijaab was preserved. Muslim bin Aqeel a.s was the first Martyr of the Hussaini Revolution and whenever I think of Muslim a.s I think of Imam a.s and how he described himself and his situation just like that of Muslim a.s in Kufa. And like Imam a.s said, with him we will see a new Karbala. May Allah swt Hasten the Emergence and Allow us to Give All we Have to the Imams a.s of our Time, Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris and the Will of Allah swt Is Just, Even if We Never Get to See the Imams a.s of Our time, Our Faith Will not be Wavered For the Will of Allah swt is Just and the Imams a.s are Still His Hujjah on Earth, Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris.  you May Restore Justice on Earth as it Has been Filled With Injustice and Tyranny, Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris.  Our Deepest Condolences to the Imams a.s of our time for the Shahadat of Hussain a.s and His Family and Companions, for the Shahadat of Muslim a.s and Imam Baqir a.s who was poisoned in this month by the Oppressors. You know how these injustices were carried out and your loss is deep. How you carry this pain, O Imams a.s only you know. May Allah swt Hasten your Emergence, O Rightly Guided Imams a.s so that you may Avenge What the Tyrants Did to Your Family and Companions and so that I mam M uhamm ad al - ba qi r B y: lai la al i “Our followers are of three kinds, one who follows us but depends on others, one who is like a glass involved in his own reflections, but the best are those who are like gold, the more they suffer the more they shine.” Imam Baqir (a.s) wa s the son of Imam Sajjad (a.s), our Fo urth Imam (a.s), wh o was the son of Imam Hussain (a.s). And his mother was Bib i Fatima bint-eImam Hassan (a.s), so she was the daughter of Imam Hassan (a.s). Imam Baqir (a.s) was the only Imam (a.s) wh o was Alawitte from both the side of his father and mother. S o, his great grandfather on both sides was the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). From an early age, Imam Baqir (a.s) had been through a lot, as when he was around two an d half years old he accompanied his fat her and his family on the Journey to Ka rbala. He witnessed those tra gic and horrific events first hand as a child, Mola Ali Waaris. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir On the 7th Dua al Hijjah Our Precious Imam Baqir (a.s), ou r fifth Imam (a.s) was martyred by po ison on the orders of the tyrant ruler of the time, Hisham bin Abdul Malik l.a .  He was of course the father of our Sixth Imam (a.s), Ja far Sadiq (a.s), which is where you get Jafari Fiqh from.  Imam Jafar Sa diq (a.s) was known to be extreme ly knowledgeable, that goes without sa ying as all of the Imams (a.s) of Ahlul Bayt (a.s) posses such unma tched knowledge
