YEMENIS BELIEVE ‘AL-KAHAF’ IN AL-MA’QAB

SANAA, Yemen: A large number of people daily visit during the holy month of Ramadan an old Mosque situated in a small village Al-Ma’qab, 250 Kilometers south of Yemeni capital Sanaa, keeping faith that offering prayer in it is much rewarding than in other mosques.

The residents of the village which is situated at High Mountain “Sabr” at the height of around 3,200 feet from sea level believe that the very old Mosque named as “Al-Kahaf Mosque” is built on the cave which was refuge and shelter of “Ashab-e-Kahaf” whose story is mentioned in the holy Quran.

The cave, in the mosque, is surrounded by a wooden boundary and covered with a stone.

A custodian of the Mosque Muhammad Abdohu Al-Faqih, 75, said that the cave at present is not seen except a small hole and he believes it is that cave mentioned in the Quran.

He said the thing that causes throng of visitors is their feeling of the presence of the wind that blows as they stretch hands inside the hole present in the midst of mosque.

Jordanians believe that the Cave is in Amman while some other are of the opinion it is in Egypt.

WHERE IS HER (SA) GRAVE?

The Muslims have been deeply pained.

Their beloved prophet has passed away.

And especially for his kith and kin,

it is one of their lives' saddest day.

A lady who happens to be his daughter,

above all, is the most afflicted one.

She was the nearest to her father.

Alas! Her troubles have just begun.

What in the Prophet's eyes was her status,

unfortunately the people shall forget.

She should be respected by all of us.

But a harsh treatment, she'll be met.

Everyone had heard her father say,

"My daughter is a part of me".

For her safety he would often pray;

Not wanting her to bear any agony.

But his words fell on deaf ears

as his followers were lead astray.

And were realized those worst fears,

because his tidings were disobeyed.

Each forthcoming day brings her sorrow

and only a few more months she'll live.

Each night she worries about her woes.

Her tormentors, she may not forgive.

In her last days, she is seen weeping.

Awake all night, she seldom sleeps.

Of her troubles, she keeps thinking.

The wounds in her heart are so deep.

The thoughts of her father alone

cause tears from her eyes to flow

and what will happen to her children?

What fate do they have in stow?

"Be kind to them and take care",

she wills about her poor children,

because she'll be no longer near

and they'll soon be orphans.

As she spends the time crying,

her neighbors come and complain.

But look! She is already dying.

Their complaint will be in vain.

And that dark moment finally comes,

for her heavenly abode, she departs.

Holding back their tears, her children,

see baba leaving with a heavy heart.

Hands trembling and with great anguish,

he takes away her coffin during the night.

And he makes sure to fulfill her last wish.

She will rest, out of everyones' sight.

Has gone from this world forever,

the mother of children so brave!

But why was she buried in a manner

that no one knows, where is her grave?

Imam Muhammad Baqir [as] said: "The best means by which servants can obtain nearness to Allah, Mighty and Glorious, is the obedience to Allah, the obedience to His Messenger [PBUH&HPP], and the obedience to those charged with (spiritual) authority." Then, he [as] added: "The love of us (Ahlul Bayt) is Faith and the hatred of us is infidelity." (Al-Kafi)

You are a strong helper and supporter to the helpless

You are the pain-reliever to the soul,

you calm down the soul

Oh the king of the men (people),

Ali (A) the God-knower (Ali (A) the "'aref"/irfan

Our beloved Master Ali (A)

For every weak person you are his backbone (support) and shelter

You are the light of a lamp in every darkness

You are sunlight which lights up the world

You obeyed (bowed your neck) to the Law of God

Until (so) you can keep the verses of the Quran Alive

Our beloved Master Ali (A)

Our beloved Master Ali (A)

Call aloud to Ali [as]

Who is the epiphanic source of wonders

You shall surely find him helper in your troubles/calamities

All griefs and pains will disappear

By Your wilayat!

O Ali [as]! O Ali [as]! O Ali [as]!

LOVE OF AHL-UL BAIT (A.S)…

Muhammad is the name of our prophet

Whom we love so much

A prophet who could conquer

Every nation with a single touch

Muslims don’t divide!

Unite under love of Ahlul Bait

Ali is my first Imam,

Who killed infidels with Zulfiqar

Fatima, she’s the queen of all the ladies from the past

Daughter of Rasul,

And part of the cleanest caste

Hassan is her son

And the Prince of Heaven thats for sure

Hussain is my third Imam,

And sacrificed his life that day

That’s the ONLY reason why Islam exist for us today

Whosoever avoids ALL these five people of Islam?

Not only is he wrong,

Heaven for him will be haram!

This is not a lie, nor a story,

Just the truth my friend

You will understand for sure

When days and night on earth will end

Don’t you see that leaving them?

Will make you all just go astray?

Ali will ask you that are for sure,

But what will YOU then have to say?

The Ahlul Bait were here to guide,

On Judgment day it is too late

Allah will punish all of you,

And I feel sorry for your sake

LET'S BE LIKE THE PROPHET (SAWW)

May Allah help us in our attempts to be like our beloved prophet (pbuh&hp)

Prophet Muhammad Portrats Himself When asked by Hazrat Ali (A.S), his son-in-law, about his way of life he replied:

"Meditation in God is my Capital.

Reason and sound Logic is the rest of my Religion.

Love is the Foundation of my existence.

Enthusiasm is the Vehicle of my life.

Contemplation of God is my companion.

Faith is the source of my Power.

Sorrow is my friend.

Knowledge is my weapon.

Patience is my Garb and Virtue.

Submission to the Divine Will, is my Pride.

Truth is my Salvation.

Worship is my habit.

And in Prayer lies the coolness of my Eye and the Peace of Mind."

LADY FATIMA - PERFECT PATTERN OF MUSLIM WOMANHOOD

(Fatimah by Dr. Mohammad Iqbal, the Poet of the east)

Mary is hallowed in one line alone,

That she bore Jesus; Fatima in three, (*)

For that she was the sweet delight of him

Who came a mercy to all living things,

Leader of former as of latter saints,

Who breathed new spirit into this dead world

And brought to birth the age of a New Law.

His lady she, whose regal diadem

God's words adorn Hath there come any time,

The chosen one, resolver of all knots

And hard perplexities, the Lion of God,

An emperor whose place was a hut,

Accoutered with one sword, one coat of mail.

And she his mother, upon whom revolves

Love's compasses, the leader of Love's train,

That single candle in the corridor

Of sanctity resplendent, guardian

Of the integrity of that best race

Of all God's peoples; who, that the fierce flame

Of war and hatred might extinguished be

Trod underfoot the crown and royal ring

His mother too, the lord of all earth's saints

And strong right arm of every freeborn man,

Hussein, the passion in the song of life,

Teacher of freedom to God's chosen few.

The character, the essential purity

Of holy children from the mothers come.

She was the harvest of the well-sown field

Of self-surrender, to all mothers she

The perfect pattern, Fatima the chaste.

Her heart so grieved, because one came in need,

She stripped her cloak and sold it to a Jew;

Though creatures all, of light alike and fire,

Obeyed her bidding, yet she sank her will

In her good consort's pleasure. Fortitude

And meekness were her schooling; while her lips

Chanted the Book, she ground the homely mill.

No pillow needed she to catch her tears,

But wept contrition's offering of pearls

Upon the skirt of prayer; which Gabriel stooped

To gather, as they glistened i the dust,

And rained like dew upon the Throne of God.

God's Law a fetter of locks about my feet

To guard secure the Prophet's high behest,

Else had I surely gone about her tomb

And fallen prostrate, worshipping her dust.

Mary is hallowed in one line alone,
