In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“The month of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever among you witnesses the month, let him fast it. And whoever is ill or on a journey, then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship, and (He wants) for you to complete the period and glorify Allah for what He has guided you to, and perhaps you will be grateful.”— (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:185)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:“O people, the month of Allah has approached you with blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. It is the best of months in the sight of Allah, its days are the best of days, its nights are the best of nights, and its hours are the best of hours.”
Al-Zahraa Islamic Center is honored to invite you to participate in the commemoration of the nights of the blessed month of Ramadan, held daily in the presence of Sheikh Dr. Rashad Al-Ansari, who is coming from England, starting from the first day of Ramadan, as determined by the Islamic sighting of the moon.

*قُم ناشد الإِسلامَ عن مُصابه
أُصيب بالنبيّ أم كتابه
قتلتُم الصلاة في محرابها
يا قاتليه وهو في محرابه
وشقَّ رأس العدل سيفُ جوركم
مُذ شقَّ منه الرأس في ذبابه
فليبك جبريلُ له ولينتحب
في الملأ الأعلى على مُصابه*
نرفع أحر التعازي وأصدق المواساة إلى مقام مولانا الإمام صاحب العصر والزمان الحجة بن الحسن (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) ومراجعنا العظام بذكرى استشهاد الإمام أمير المؤمنين وامام المتقين علي بن ابي طالب (عليه السلام) وبهذه المناسبة الاليمة يقيم مركز الزهراء الاسلامي مجالس العزاء ابتداءا من يوم الثلاثاء الثامن عشر من شهر رمضان ليلة جرح الامام عليه السلام ولمدة ثلاث ليال وفي نفس الوقت سيكون هناك برنامج خاص بعنوان ” وذكّرهم بأيام الله” لاحياء ليالي القدر المباركة ايام الثلاثاء والخميس والسبت ليالي 19, 21, 23 نرجو من الاخوة والاخوات الكرام المشاركة في احياء هذه الليالي المباركة
” ذلك ومن يعظم شعائر الله فإنها من تقوى القلوب ”

“Rise, O Islam, and mourn its loss,Struck by the loss of the Prophet or His Book,You have killed prayer in its sanctuary,O you who killed him while he was in his sanctuary,The sword of injustice split the head of justice,Since it split his head with its blade,Let Gabriel weep for him and mourn,In the highest assembly, for his tragedy.”
We extend our deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to the esteemed Imam of our time, Imam Mahdi (AJF), and to our revered religious authorities on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), the Commander of the Faithful and the Imam of the Pious.
On this sorrowful occasion, the Zahra Islamic Center will hold mourning assemblies starting from Tuesday, the 18th of Ramadan, the night of Imam Ali’s (AS) injury, for three nights. At the same time, a special program titled “And Remind Them of the Days of Allah” will be held to observe the blessed Nights of Qadr on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights, corresponding to the 19th, 21st, and 23rd of Ramadan.
We kindly invite our dear brothers and sisters to participate in commemorating these blessed nights.“That is [so], and whoever honors the symbols of Allah – indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.”
