Inspiring Arbaeen Observation for Ayatollah Sayyed Jafar Al-Murtadha at Islamic House of Wisdom!

Sunday, December 8, 2019



The first speaker and moderator of the service was Br Mustafa Al-Murtadha, the nephew of the late ayatollah!

The reciters included br. Mohammad Zain and shaikh Kassem Beydoun!

Imam Elahi was the final speaker of the ceremony!

Imam Elahi reflected on the life journey of the late schooler, researcher and the author of the prophet’s (pbuh) encyclopedia!

He spoke about the three major Shia seminaries in Jabal-Amel, Al-Najaf al-Ashraf and the Holy city of Qum as the main steps of the scholarly journey of the late historian Mohaghegh, and the Quranic commentator!

Imam Elahi spent big part of his service, reminding the audience the fundamental values of those seminary sources in serving the faith, education and leading the society in their search for peace, justice and freedom!

Our great religious references, the marhaajei are known as shining lights of knowledge, prayer, piety, humbleness, dedication and determination, sacrifice patience, intellect and integrity!

By mentioning some powerful Pilars knowledge in the Shia traditional universities in the last 1000 years, the imam emphasized on the importance of learning the true Islamic history and share the light of truth with those confused of the mixture of facts and fictions in the historic features and events!

He concluded that the exceptional work of the late Sayyed Al-Murtadha is a great help in that direction!

The observation was concluded in a faithful and friendly atmosphere with food and evening prayers!

December 19: "Trump’s discourteous and disrespectful tone against our Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and her late husband was ugly, unfair and unacceptable!

In his two hour long rally last night in Michigan, the impeached president abused his podium power to beat and blow up any individual, organization and entity that may disagree with his political path!

It was not the first time that Congresswoman Debbie Dingell was attacked and insulted by the president’s rude rhetoric, what was new this time, was that even her late husband Congressman John Dingell was insulted in his grave!

While denouncing this kind of absurd and unfair attacks, we express our solidarity and support for the Dingell family especially Congresswoman Debbie, as she is approaching the first year remembrance of her husband with a broken heart and grief!"
