Let’s give a moment to appreciate for what this man has done,
If you or I were in his situation we would run,
This is in way to honor our third Imam,
The person who gave everything for islam,
He faced a tough childhood after losing his mom,
Yet with everything going on he kept calm,
He is the son of Ali or as we call him Imam Hussain,
He lost his brothers and sons he went through pain,
He lost everything till the point it was his time to fight,
We honor him on Ashura and remember him for doing right.
The Lion Of Allah
When I was writing this poem, I thought
This is easily possible
Then I saw the 100 words or less
And I thought that this is near impossible
Because the thing about Ali
Is that he’s the Gateway to the City of Knowledge
So once I start writing about Amir Al Mu’minin
There will be no stoppage
He swore on his deathbed
By his birthplace, the house of Allah
If you don’t believe that’s where he was born Just go look at the crack in the Ka’aba
POEM
Kaaba split open it’s wall,
To deliver a spiritual leader for us all
Ali is the spring, all the springs spring from it.
His birthplace is Kaba, the cardinal unit.
The eyes of Wali ul Allah sparkled,
At the first sight of Prophet Muhammad
Brought up by Muhammad, from his very youth
Every truth is with him and he is with every truth
Islam needed a protector,
Just like Haider e Karar.
He embraced Islam, like a mother.
He removed the darkness and lightened up iman,
He is the gate, to the city of knowledge
The knowledge, that is the basis of kul e iman.
Allah is on his side.
He is our guide.
One must abide his guide,
To embellish his after life.
Recite Naad e Ali, if you have any worry.
He will come to help you as he is Mushkil Kusha Ali.
Imam Ali’s Great Lessons
Helping the poor is a great thing to do.
Being patient is a good thing too.
Be sure not to lie.
Be honest, at least try!
The sourness of this world is the sweetness of the next, the sweetness of this world is the sourness of the next.
At all costs avoid boasting, delay revenge.
Fear Allah in happiness and in distress.
Practice these lessons you will find great success!
This man was the first and last to be born
In the Almighty Kaaba
In the Almighty House of Allah
Our first Imam, Imam Ali (A.S)
He stood tall by the Prophet’s side
Following him around, as his tour guide
Learning the basics and his love for Islam
How else do you enter a City besides its Gate?
And on the battlefield, no one could defeat him
His inner lion shown out, with his Zulfiqar within
Our hearts are filled with happiness
Our souls filled with glee
Happy Birthday, Imam Ali
We are Shia-tul Ali
And Forever we will be
Being Born In The Kaaba,
His Imamat Began at Ghadeer Khum,
Ending In Sajdah.,
Fighting Courageously Battle After Battle,
He Had The Spirit of A Lion,
Sinlessness Was Many of The Attributes he had,
This Man Was A Kind Hearted Soul,
He Was Pious To All His Believers ,
He Spread The Message Of Allah and The Quran,
He Had A Family Full of Greatness,
This Was Our First Imam,
Imam Ali (AS)
Bismillahir Rahman Iraheem
Imam Ali (a.s) was a guide for those not in the light,
He donated to the poor in the dead of the night.
His wisdom and knowledge is something we write,
Salooni salooni meant he was absolutely right.
In Khyber and Khandak we saw his might,
In Uhud and Siffeen we also see him fight.
When a momin keeps Imam Ali (a.s) in their sight,
That momin surely will never face plight.
Allah sent 12 imam
For us to learn Islam
Imam came to protect
Quran and to safe Iman
Light your heart, cherish your belief
Month of Rajab will bring great relief
Lets celebrate their birth
For whom, Allah has created heaven and earth
Ali is loyal to Allah and Rasul Allah that’s why Allah blessed him to be our, leader
You fight like a lion with your sword
For your bravery, aye mola
you got the title, Sher-e-Khuda
The one who opens the knowledge
For us to shine and groom
He got the title Baqir-ul-olum
Let’s celebrate the birth of our noble imam
The kind, The honest,
The generous Jaffar al Tani
Ya Imam-Al-Hadi, you are our
lead towards Sirat al Mustaqim
You are the twelfth of Chaharda Masoomeen
Month of Rajab is full of blessings
Show your love and caring
It’s the birthday of our imam, we are celebrating
He took on the
enormous responsibility and
became an imam at the tender age of five.
Fading in and out of view and
when the trumpet blows,
it will be his cue.
Until then,
he will show himself only
to those who pray,
and are worthy.
“The promised savior”
While the world is descending into uncertainty,
and there is no justice or peace,
he will manifest
and restore the harmony.
Every day, every hour,
the day of Qiyamah creeps closer and closer.
When it does,
we will all witness Imam Mahdi come.
Bismillahir Rahman Iraheem
Mubarak to all of us on this special day
Here is what I have to say
Imam Ali (a.s), he fought in the battle of Khyber
Imam Ali (a.s), he was the true rehbar
Imam Naqi (a.s), he taught people in university
Imam Naqi (a.s), he was praised even by his enemies
Imam Baqir (a.s) was in Karbala with Imam Hussain’s daughter
Bibi Sakina (a.s) thought of Ali Asghar (a.s) first when she got water
Imam Taqi (a.s) became Imam at a very young age
Lions bowed down to his son Naqi (a.s) in the cage
Mubarak to all of us on this special day
Mubarak to all of us on this special day
On the 15th of Sha’ban,
Came the light of Nargis.
And the darling of Askari (as),
The savior of humanity.
He’s the descendant of Fatima(SA),
Whose resemblance is of Muhammad(SAW).
His beautiful face is covered with light,
And his precious heart too shines bright.
Ya Mahdi(as)! I call him day by day,
Day goes to night while this world goes astray.
This world is corrupt and I watch as I wait,
Waiting for you, whom I wish to see, Oh my beloved Imam Mahdi (as)
No Other Man Like Amir al-Mu’minin
Asadullah
Lion of Allah
Cousin of Rasoolullah
Compiler of the Quran
Held the power of the Zulfikar
Stood on the shoulders of Muhammad-al-Amin
And smashed the idols in the kaaba where they’d been
Like a flying moth which flies around a candle
Ali stayed close to the prophet wrapped around him like his mantle
The charging lion Haider-e-Karrar
Defended Rasulullah in all battles when others ran far
Faateeh-e-Khaiber
Conqueror of Khaiber
Stronger than 20 he tore down the gates of Khaiber
Truth is with Ali and Ali is with the truth
Quran is with Ali and Ali is with Quran
(Narey Haidery)
Imam Ali (AS)
The one who had scars on his back
From carrying food at the dead of night
They would not know who he was
They would only see a kind light
From night to night he would go
Not looking to show
But rather the opposite
So he said:
“Do good, but never speak of it.”
That is why he is called
The father of orphans
He had a soft spot
For orphans and poor people
Just like the prophet
He loved children
When he was sick
Dozens of children came
Bringing milk and good wishes
I say this to all fathers
You can take Imam Ali (AS)
As an example
Of what you should be
Who was Ali?
The blessing of Allah for all humanity
Our God-chosen Wali
The only Amir-ul-Momineen
In his titles was Zawje Fatima
He was the father of two Imams
His descendants were the honorable Awliyah
In his might was the death of Walid bin Utba
Woe onto those who did not treat him rightly
The Noor on his blessed face shone brightly
The charity he used to give nightly
He dealt with the enemies so precisely
Our Imam was so courageous and knightly
He told the strongest enemies to come and fight me!
From him comes the justice we crave
The justice that Imam Mahdi (as) will one day proliferate
The shackles of injustice will he liberate
So, I asked in the beginning, Who was Ali?
The grandfather of Mehdi is my Maula Ali
A very blessed soul came on the 3rd of Sha’ban,
The grandson of the prophet (PBUH)
Lost his family but fought bravely in battle,
Focused on only saving islam.
A very pure and wholesome imam.
He was apart of a gracious group called Ahl-Kisa,
He is our 3rd imam and is one of the 14 masoomeen.
Even though he disliked Yazid he was loyal to all of his companions, His heart was full of kindness and love for his family and the Ahlul Bayt
The son of
Imam al-Jawad
Is here
Imam al- Hadi
The one who guides
The one who is a guide for the
Muslims
Imam al-Hadi
The one who was
Arrested
Because of someone’s
lie
Because of his
Righteous life
He lead the people towards the right path
With his
Poetic wisdom
That reminded
People of Allah, the Creator
Bismillah
The Imam recites
“Build forts on top of mountains;
Have strong men guard them
But there is no point
Because soon you will fall into your grave
Now where are your forts and men to save you now” And there he left them silent
