As Salam-o-alaikum,

13th of Rajab 1432 A.H. – zahoor of Maula-e-Kainaat, Imam-ul-
Muttaqeen, Ameer-al-Momineen, Wali-Allah, Sher-e-Khuda and the 1st
Holy Imam, Imam Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib(a.s.). He is the only person in
the whole history to have been born inside the Kaaba in Makkah. He was
born in the 30th year of the Elephant (10 years before the declaration
of Nabuwwat).

On this occasion of happiness in the house of Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), I wish
to extend my felicitations and greetings to Prophet Mohammad(sawaw),
Imam-e-Zamana(atfs), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all the Momineen and
Mominaat.

Allah(swt) says in the Holy Quran – Sura 5 (Al-Maaeda) Ayat 55 –
“Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those who believe,
those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they
bow.” (Translation by Shakir Ali). Muslim scholars of all sects are
unanimous that this ayat was sent by Allah(swt) in praise of Imam
Ali(a.s.) and primarily based on this ayat, the Shias believe in the
wilayat of Imam Ali(a.s.).

On the special event, respected Naisan Akbar Abadi says:

Jab qareeb-e-Kaaba pohonchi madar-e-Haider to phir
Ik sada aayi ke aey Haider ki madar aayey
Khil-khila kar hans pari deewar-e-Kaaba aur kaha
Bay takkaluf aayey Kaabay may hay dar aayey

Historical aspect of the birth of Imam Ali(a.s.)
================================================
Since it is the birth of the Holy Imam(a.s.), I wanted to reflect on
the historical aspect of his birth.

When Imam Ali(a.s.) was about to be born, his mother Janab Fatima bint-
e-Asad went to the Holy Kaaba and touched herself with its wall and
prayed to Allah(swt) in the following words which are recorded in all
important books of history: "O Allah, I firmly believe in you, your
prophets and your books. I bear testimony to my ancestor
Ibrahim(a.s.)’s prophethood. I beseech you through this house of
yours, its constructor and the child who is in my womb, make this
problem very easy for me". At once, the wall of Kaaba split and Bibi
Fatima bint-e-Asad entered the Kaaba and the wall got back to its
original position. Just imagine, a pregnant women whose child is about
to be born stayed inside the Kaaba for 3 days and 3 nights apparently
without food and water – not so - for sure food and water must have
been provided to her by divine methods by Allah(swt).

After failing to open the door of Kaaba for 3 days, the people
witnessed the unexpected – the wall of Kaaba got split again and Bibi
Fatima bint-e-Asad got out with a new born child in her hands (Please
also look at the animation I have on the main page on my site
http://www.ziaraat.com which depicts that very event).

Fatima bint-e-Asad called for Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and said to him
that her child had not spoken a word, has not cried and not even
opened his eyes since birth for 3 days now. Prophet Mohammad(sawaw),
with a smile on his face, took Imam Ali(a.s.) in his hands and gave
his tongue in the mouth of Imam Ali(a.s.). Sensing the tongue of
Risalat, the child immediately opened his eyes and said "As-salam-o-
alaika ya Rasool Allah (Peace be upon you O Prophet of Allah!)". The
prophet replied to him and asked him why he had not opened his eyes
until now. Imam Ali(a.s.) replied "How could I open my eyes in this
world and see the idols placed in the Kaaba before seeing your face".
After this, Imam Ali(a.s.) recited from all the four divine books of
Allah(swt).

Phenomena of a new-born child talking
======================================
It might be confusing or difficult for some people to believe a new-
born child talking. Please bear in mind that ours is the
Prophet(sawaw) on whose hands even the stones started reciting Kalma,
and in this case, it was the child of a human being.

Please also bear in mind that in the Quran Allah(swt) states that when
Hazrat Isa(a.s.) was born, he was brought to the people of bani
Israeel and they questioned his mother Mariam(a.s.) about him. On the
orders from Allah(swt), Mariam(a.s.) pointed out at the new born child
for an answer and immediately Hazrat Isa(a.s.) started talking and
said – I quote from Sura Mariam (19:30) "He said: Surely I am a
servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a
prophet;" (Translation by Shakir Ali). This is the way Allah(swt)
shows his qudrat (power/control) and bestows his chosen
representatives with special abilities and moajzas (miracles).

Some Ahadees-e-Rasool(sawaw) about Imam Ali(a.s.)
=================================================
Our beloved Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) has praised Imam Ali(a.s.) on
numerous occasions and has given him various titles. Some of the
Prophet’s(sawaw) sayings about him(a.s.) are as follows:

(1) Of whomsoever am I Maula, Ali(a.s.) is his/her Maula as well. O
allah(swt) keep love with the one who loves him(a.s.) and keep enmity
with the one who keeps enmity with him(a.s.)
(2) I am the city of Knowledge and Ali(a.s.) is its gate. Whoever
wants to get knowledge should come to its gate.
(3) I am from Ali(a.s.) and Ali(a.s.) is from Me.
(4) Allah(swt) has created me and Ali(a.s.) from the same one Noor.
(5) Ali(a.s.) is Kull-e-Imaan (Total Faith)
(6) Ali(a.s.) is to me as Haroon(a.s.) was to Moosa(a.s.)
(7) Ali(a.s.) is the distributor of Paradise and Hell.
(8) Ali(a.s.) is my brother in the world and hereafter.
(9) Looking at Ali’s(a.s.) face is Ibadaah.
(10) Talking about Ali(a.s.) in your gatherings and meetings is
Ibadaah.
(11) Keeping love of Ali(a.s.) in ones heart is Ibadaah.
(12) Ali(a.s.) is with Quran and Quran is with Ali(a.s.)
(13) Ali(a.s.) is with Haqq (truth) and Haqq is with Ali(a.s.) – O
Allah(swt) turn Haqq in the same direction in which Ali(a.s.) turns.
(14) Ali(a.s.) will lead his Shias (followers, believers, friends) on
the day of judgement.
(15) O Ali(a.s.) you and your Shias are the people of paradise.
(16) One who keeps enmity and jealously with Ali(a.s.) will never
enter paradise.
(17) The example of Ali(a.s.) is like the example of Kaaba. (my
comments: Remember that in the quran Allah(swt) states that Kaaba is
the guide of momineen)
(18) O Ali(a.s), your body is my body, O Ali(a.s.) your flesh is my
flesh, O Ali(a.s.) your blood is my blood, O Ali(a.s.) your soul is my
soul.
(19) The one who loves Ali(a.s.) loves me and the one who loves me
loves Allah(swt); the one who is jealous of Ali(a.s.) is jealous of me
and the one who was jealous of me is jealous of Allah(swt).
(20) Obedience of Ali(a.s.) is my obedience and his(a.s.) disobedience
is my disobedience.
(21) Every Prophet has a Wasi and Waris and my Waris and Wasi is
Ali(a.s.).
(22) On the day of Dawat-zul-Asheera (the first ever Dawah in Islam)
Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) declared “The one who accepts my messages and
helps me today will be my Wasi, my Wazir and my Khalifa after me”. All
historical references mention that Imam Ali(a.s.) was the only one to
accept the message and help the Prophet(sawaw). This was the first
explicit hadith of Wilayat and Wisayat of Imam Ali(a.s.) on the very
first day when the message of Islam was announced by the
Prophet(sawaw).

Note: All these ahadith have been quoted with varying wording from
renowned books of our Ahlus-Sunnah brothers.
