Rabi-ul-Aakher

This year, NAWROZ falls in the month of Rabiul Akhar. Moala, son of Khunays quotes Imam Jaffer Sadiq (a.s.) who told him that the Day of Nawroz is a sanctified day on which several events took place; such events include

  • The Prophets first Meraj  took place on the day of Nawroz
  • The Day the Prophet carried Imam Ali (a.s.) on his shoulder to clear the Kaaba of idols was on the day of Nawroz
  • The Day of Ghadeer,  when the Prophet (s w a w ) on his return journey from Haj, declared Imam Ali(a s ) as his sucsessor,was on the day of Nawroz
  • It will be on the day of Nawroz that the Imam of our time, Hazrat Mehdi, will defeat Satan and end this source of evill forever

Among acts recommended on the day of Nawroz  include having “ghusl” and observing fast. There is a special amal recommended on this day, details can be seen in Mafatihul Jeenan.

May Allah enable us all to observe the day of Nawroz in the best way as recommended by Masoom Imams.
