Hadith of the week
Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, "I only like to see the young man from among you occupied in one of two states: learning or teaching. For if he does not engage in either of these two, he is wasting his time; and by wasting his time, he will lose out; and by losing out, he will be committing a sin; and by committing a sin, he will dwell in the Fire, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth."
(Al-Amali by Shaykh al-Tusi)
BOOK UPDATE
— Second Edition —
Maqtal al-Husayn (a) - The Martyr of the Tear
Constructed from the Books of Shia Ahadith
This Maqtal narrates the tragedy of Karbala entirely through the ahadith of the Prophet and the Imams (as), as preserved in the books of Shia hadith, rather than through the historical works upon which most Maqtal accounts rely. This new edition draws on a far wider range of primary sources than before. Alongside al-Kafi, the three Amali, and Kamil al-Ziyarat, it now gathers narrations from Uyun Akhbar al-Ridha, al-Khisal, Ilal al-Shara'i, Kamal al-Din, Thawab al-A'mal, al-Mahasin, Tuhaf al-Uqul, Dalail al-Imamah, Maqatil al-Talibiyyin, and others.
Zayir UK is a charitable organization providing humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities in Lebanon and other conflict-affected areas. They deliver essential resources like food, shelter, medical care, and relief to families displaced by crises.
Narrated in al-Khisal, Imam Ali (asws) said,
“Those who know about oppression, who assist it and who are content with it are all partners in it.”
