As Salam-o-alaikum,
1st of Rajab 1434 A.H. - birth anniversary of the 5th Holy Imam, Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) in the year 57 A.H.
On this occasion of happiness in the house of Prophet Mohammad(sawaw),
I wish to extend my felicitations and greetings to Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all
the Momineen and Mominaat.
Please recite Ziarat of Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) located at :

as well as Ziarat-e-Jamea located at : http://www.ziaraat.com/jamea01.php
and offer nazrana on this occasion to renew your allegiance to Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.).
You may call it a coincidence or a special arrangement from Allah(swt)
that Imam Muhammad Baqir(a.s.) is the fifth Holy Imam and the seventh
Masoom (infallible) and his year of birth was 57 A.H. and his age was
57 years as well. Also he is the first Imam whose name was
Muhammad(a.s.) - the same as that of his grand-father Prophet
Muhammad(sawaw).

Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) gave some very informative answers to some
of the most difficult questions to his disciples and others. Some of
them are reproduced here:
Question: Which was the Roza (fasting) in which eating and drinking
was permitted?
Answer: The Roza (fast) that Hazrat Mariam(a.s.) observed in which she
abandoned talking only.
Question: What decreases and never increases with time?
Answer: Age
Question: What increases and never decreases?
Answer: Water of the ocean.
Question: What was raised in the sky only once?
Answer: The mountain of Toor which was raised above Bani-Israel only
once and then put down.
Question: Who are the people whose true testimony was declared a lie?
Answer: These are the munafiqeen (hypocrites) whose testimony that
“Prophet is the messenger of God” was not accepted and they were
declared liers by Allah(swt).
Question: When was one third of the mankind killed?
Answer: Never – however one fourth of mankind was killed when Qabeel
murdered Habeel. At that time, the whole mankind consisted of 4
persons only.
Question: You Muslims believe that the food and drinks of Jannah will
not cause necessity to urinate and pass stool. Is there any example of
this in this world?
Answer: Yes there is. The child inside the womb of the mother gets fed
without the necesity to urinate or pass stool.
Question: Who are the two people who were born at the same time and
died at the same time but one was 50 years and the other was 150 years
old at the time of death?
Answer: These were Prophet brothers Uzair(a.s.) and Aziz(a.s.).
Allah(swt) gave temporary death to Hazrat Uzair(a.s.) for 100 years
and when he got back life, he died again at the same time as did Aziz
so the difference in their ages was 100 years.
