A reminder from Amir al-Mu’minin Imam Ali (peace be upon him):

“Time has two days: a day for you and a day against you. If it is for you, do not become arrogant; and if it is against you, be patient, for both will pass.”

عن أمير المؤمنين الإمام علي عليه السلام:
«الدهرُ يومان، يومٌ لك ويومٌ عليك، فإن كان لك فلا تَبْطَر، وإن كان عليك فاصبِر، فكلاهما عنك يمضي.»

Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

“Indeed, a small deed performed consistently with certainty is better in the sight of Allah than abundant deeds performed without certainty.”

Consistency, sincerity and certainty give even the smallest deeds lasting value.

Condolence Statement

The assassination of a religious leader and the innocent members of his family is an international crime, adding to the list of crimes committed by Israel and America against innocent people and their ongoing violations of international law.

This crime has deeply wounded the hearts and feelings of millions of free people around the world, regardless of their nationality, especially the Iranian people, who expressed their pain and sorrow through the massive and magnificent funeral procession for their martyred leader, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, whose martyrdom was a victory and a source of immortality, unity, and strength for the honorable Iranian people.

We offer our condolences to the Muslim Ummah and all free people around the world on this tragic loss.

The Greatest Right Upon You
Imam Al-Sajjad (peace be upon him) said:

“The greatest right of Allah upon you is that you worship Him and associate nothing with Him. If you do so sincerely, Allah has made it incumbent upon Himself to suffice you in the affairs of this world and the Hereafter.”

📖 Makarim al-Akhlaq – Sheikh al-Tabarsi, p. 419.

May Allah grant us sincerity in our worship and steadfastness upon the path of truth.
