RELIGIOUS EVENTS DURING THE MONTH OF Jamad-Al-Awwal 1439 05th Jamad-Al-Awwal 1439 24th Jan 2018 Wiladat of Bibi Zainab (A.S.) 13th Jamad-Al-Awwal 1439 01st Feb 2018 Wafaat of Bibi Fatima (A.S.) Date EXPECTED ISLAMIC DATES Day 1st Jamad-ul-Thaani Sunday 18th Feb 2018 Quoted from Peak of Eloquence Nahjul Balagah Sermon 6 The Hypocrites What kind of people were hypocrites? They sowed the seeds of sins and vices, watered them with vanity, deception and deceit and they then harvested deception and destruction. None of the followers of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) could be compared with Aale Muhammad (peace of Allah be on him and his Descendants), and none should be considered equal to them. There can be no resemblance between those who attribute bounties and those who receive them. Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) are bases of religion and pillars of faith. To them both the extreme fanatics as well as strugglers in the path of truth and religion can approach for guidance and salvation. They are efficiently capable and fit for the place and privilege of leadership and caliphate; they have been and are even now rightful heirs of the Holy Propher (S.A.W.) who had entrusted them Imamate. The caliphate has now come back to its right place and has reached the position assigned to it by the Heaven. Choose the correct answer to test your knowledge.
