Jan 3
On the 13th of Rajab, Hazrat Ali ع was born, and the world was touched by a light that would never fade.
Ali ع is love itself, and that love lives quietly in the hearts of those who seek truth. Those who remember him feel a closeness that cannot be spoken in words. In him, love became eternal, and through him, the path to the Beloved shines for every seeking soul.
This verse by Shams Tabrizi says:
نعره زِ هاى هُو كنم، سُوتى نجف روال شوم
بوسه به آستال كتم، وم بمروم علىّ علىّ
Na'arah ze haee hoo kunam,
Soo-e-Najaf rawaan shawam
Bosa Ba-astaan kanam,
Dam hama dam Ali Ali
It means: "I will cry out his name and go to Najaf; I will kiss his holy shrine, and in every breath, I remember Ali."
