WHO
I AM KNOWN AS THE ORNAMENT OF THE WORSHIPPERS. I WAS NICKNAMED FOR THE MANY AMOUNTS OF TIMES I'VE PROSTRATED BEFORE MY LORD. I WALKED FROM TAF TO DAMASCUS IN CHAINS. WHO AM I?
IMAM ZAYN AL ABIDEEN (AS)
I AM THE BURIAL PLACE OF FOUR IMAMS, BUT TODAY I AM DESTROYED. MY NAME MEANS "THE LAND OF THE GARDEN." WHERE AM I?
JANNAT AL BAQI' - MEDINA, SAUDI ARABIA
I CAME BEFORE CLOCKS, BEFORE THE STARS KNEW THEIR NAMES, WHEN LIGHT AND PEN WERE THE ONLY FRAMES. NO SOIL, NO SKY, NO SUN, NO SEA-- ONLY THE WILL, SAYING BE, AND SO IT WOULD BE. I HELD THE BIRTH OF TIME, THOUGH I WAS NEVER BORN. WHEN AM I?
THE MOMENT OF CREATION
I AM AN OBJECT MENTIONED IN A SACRED TRADITION. I HELD THE AHLUL BAYT ON A NIGHT BLESSED BY DIVINE PRESENCE, WHERE EVEN THE A DIVINE MESSENGER CAME TO WITNESS. ON THIS NIGHT THE VERSE OF PURITY WAS REVEALED DECLARING THE CLEANSING AND PROTECTION OF THOSE BENEATH ME. WHAT AM I?
THE CLOAK (HADITH AL KISAA)
NAME THE 12 IMAMS IN ORDER
IMAM ALI (AS), IMAM HASAN (AS), IMAM HUSSAIN (AS), IMAM ALI ALSAJJAD (AS), IMAM MUHAMMAD ALBAQIR (AS), IMAM JAFAR ALSADIQ (AS), IMAM MUSA ALKADHIM (AS), IMAM ALI ALRIDHA (AS), IMAM MUHAMMAD ALJAWAD ALTAQI (AS), IMAM ALI ALHADI (AS), IMAM HASAN ALASKARI (AS), IMAM MAHDI (AJ)
THEY PRAISE MY FATHER BUT TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIS BLOOD. THE WEIGHT OF A BROKEN DOOR WAS LIGHTER THAN THE SILENCE THAT FOLLOWED. THEY CALLED ME THE MOTHER OF HER FATHER -- BUT NOT THE HEIR OF HER OWN. WHO AM I?
SAYEDA FATIMA AL ZAHRAA (AS)
I AM A CORRIDOR CARVED FROM COURAGE AND GRIEF. BETWEEN TWO SUNS I STRETCH. MY SOIL HAS HEARD THE WHISPER OF A SEVERED HEAD, AND FELT THUNDER OF A FLAG THAT WOULD NOT FALL. TODAY I AM WALKED NOT IN HASTE BUT IN HEARTBREAK. WHERE AM I?
BAYN AL HARAMAYN
I AM A SACRED OBSERVANCE IN ISLAM, SPLIT AMONGST MORE THAN ONE DAY. THE IMAM OF OUR TIME SPIRITUALLY CONNECTS WITH BELIEVERS ON THIS OBSERVANCE. I FALL WITHIN THE LAST FEW NIGHTS OF THE ONLY MONTH MENTIONED IN THE QURAN. WHEN AM I?
LAYALI AL QADR
I AM A SHIELD WITHOUT A SWORD, A STATEMENT MADE WITHOUT A WORD. IN SILENCE I DECLARE YOUR MIGHT, IN FOLDS OF BLACK I GUARD YOUR LIGHT. THROUGH EVERY AGE AND EVERY LAND. I WALK WITH DIGNITY IN HAND.
CHADOR - ABAYAT RAS
WHAT IS NARRATED AS EID AL AGHAR? (THE MOST PRECIOUS EID TO ALLAH)
EID AL GHADEER
I WAS THE FIRST TO ANSWER THE CALL OF TRUTH AS A CHILD. I SLEPT IN A BED MEANT FOR A MARTYR. A LION IN BATTLE, A SERVANT IN PRAYER. THE GATE TO KNOWLEDGE, STRUCK WHILE IN PRAYER.
IMAM ALI (AS)
I HOLD THE RESTING PLACE OF TWO IMAMS, ONE WHO WAS POISONED AND ONE WHO VANISHED. MY GOLDEN DOME IS HIDDEN YET REVERED. I AM A CITY WHERE SILENCE GUARDS SECRETS OF THE AWAITED. WHERE AM I?
SAMARRA
I AM NOT ONE OF THE FIVE, YET I AM NEAR TO THEM. THE SUN IS HIGH, BUT NOT YET FIERCE. SOME RISE TO ME IN QUIET DEVOTION. THOUGH I AM NOT REQUIRED I REWARD IN MOTION. WHEN AM I?
DUHA
WHISPERS OF HEAVEN FILL THE AIR. GIVEN IN PLACE OF WORLDLY GOLD. A TREASURE NO MEASURE COULD EVER HOLD. FROM ME ROSE LIGHTS THE ANGELS SAW. AS SHE PRAISED WITH LOVE AND AWE. A GIFT FROM FATHER TO DAUGHTER SO DEAR, I ECHO THE NAMES ALL HEARTS REVERE. WHAT AM I?
TASBIH BEADS OF TASBIHAT AL ZAHRAA
BASED ON AHADITH, PROPHET MUHAMMAD (S) ASKED ALLAH (SWT) TO SEND HIM THE BEST OF ALLAH (SWT)'S TO EAT BIRD MEAT WITH HIM. WHO IS THE MOST BELOVED OF ALLAH (SWT) CREATIONS?
IMAM ALI (AS)
I ROSE NOT FOR POWER BUT FOR REFORM. I CARRIED THE BLOOD OF THE PROPHET AND THE BURDEN OF THE OPPRESSED. MY NAME LIVES ON WHEREVER TRUTH IS REMEMBERED. WHO AM I?
IMAM HUSSAIN (AS)
I AM NAMED FOR A WITNESS TO SACRIFICE AND FAITH, WHERE A CHOSEN GUIDE WAS CALLED FAR FROM HOME. MY SOIL HOLD'S THE EIGHTH'S ETERNAL REST, PILGRIMS COME SEEKING MERCY AND PEACE BENEATH MY GOLDEN DOME. WHERE AM I?
MASHHAD
WHEN MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE INTO DUST, AND SEAS BOIL WITH A RIGHTEOUS GUST. THE SCROLLS ARE OPENED, DEEDS UNFOLD, WHERE EVERY SOUL'S FATE WILL BE TOLD. WHEN AM I?
YAWM AL QIYAMAH
I AM A GUIDE, A LIGHT, A SIGN. WORDS ETERNAL, PURE, DIVINE. REVEALED TO ONE WITH HEART SO TRUE, TO TEACH, TO HEAL, TO START ANEW. I SPEAK IN VERSES, RHYME AND RHYME, AND ECHO THROUGH ALL SPACE AND TIME. WHAT AM I?
THE QURAN
WHEN PROPHET ADAM (AS) WAS CREATED AND HIS SOUL WAS BREATHED INTO HIM WHAT LIGHTS DID HE SEE NEXT TO THE THRONE OF ALLAH (SWT)?
LIGHTS IN THE NAME OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (S), SAYEDA FATIMA (AS), IMAM ALI (AS), IMAM HASAN (AS), AND IMAM HUSSAIN (AS)
BORN FAR FROM THE PROPHET'S LAND, I SEARCHED FOR TRUTH IN MANY WAYS. FROM FIRE-WORSHIP TO FAITH, MY JOURNEY WAS LONG AND HARD. I FOUND THE LIGHT IN A HUMBLE HOME, WHERE THE SEAL OF PROPHETS LIVED. A LOYAL COMPANION, I GUARDED THE GATE OF KNOWLEDGE. I STOOD BY THE LION OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTFUL HEIRS. WHO AM I?
SALMAN AL FARSI
I STAND ALONE, A SILENT WITNESS TO THE FIRST LIGHT. WHERE SILENCE BROKE WITH A HEAVENLY CALL. IN MY HIDEEN DEPTHS A MISSION BEGAN THAT CHANGED THE WORLD. AND THE DAWN OF FAITH WAS CALLED INTO BEING. WHERE AM I?
MOUNT HIRA
TWO LIGHTS FROM THE SAME RADIANT SOURCE. BOUND BY FATE, A SACRED COURSE. ONE BORN OF PROPHECY'S FLAME. THE OTHER, GUARDIAN OF THE SAME. A UNION SEALED BEFORE THE WORLD'S EYE, WHEN LOVE AND LEGACY CHOSE TO TIE. WHEN AM I?
1 DHUL HIJJAH - THE MARRIAGE OF IMAM ALI AND SAYEDA FATIMA (AS)
BEFORE THE EARTH, BEFORE THE SKIES, I HELD THE SECRETS, TRUTHS AND TIES. NO HAND CAN TOUCH, NO EYE CAN SEE, YET ALL THAT WAS AND IS, IS ME. I GUARD THE FATE, THE HEAVENLY SCRIPT, BY DIVINE COMMAND, TIGHTLY CRYPT. WHAT AM I?
THE PRESERVED TABLET
WHAT DID ALLAH SWT SAY HE CREATED FOR THE LOVE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CLOAK?
فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا مَلآئِكَتِي وَيَا سُكَّانَ سَموَاتِي، إِنِّي مَا خَلَقْتُ سَمَاءً مَبْنِيَّةً، وَلاَ أَرْضاً مَدْحِيَّةً، وَلاَ قَمَراً مُنِيْراً، وَلاَ شَمْساً مُضِيْئَةً وَلاَ فَلَكَاً يَدُورُ، وَلاَ بَحْراً يَجْرِي، وَلاَ فُلْكاً يَسْرِي إِلاَّ فِي مَحَبَّةِ هؤُلآءِ الْخَمْسَةِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ تَحْتَ الْكِسَاءِ.
