4th Rabi al-Awwal - Death of Hazrat Fatima Masooma-e-Qum(a.s.)

AsSalam-o-Alaikum,


4th Rabi-al-Awwal 1429 A.H. – According to some traditions, it is the
death anniversary of Hazrat Bibi Fatima Masooma-e-Qom(a.s.) –
daughter of Imam Moosa-e-Kazim(a.s.) and sister of Imam Ali Riza(a.s.).
Another date mentioned of her death is that of 10th Rabi-us-Sani.





On this occassion of mourning in the house of Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), I wish
to extend my hearfelt condolences to Prophet Mohammad(sawaw),
Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all Momineen and Mominaat.

<<< Her position among Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) >>>
-------------------------------------------
Among the children of the seventh Imam(a.s.), Hazrat Fatimah Masooma
bint Musa ibn Jafar(a.s.) has a special position after Imam Ali
Riza(a.s). Due to her faith, virtuousness and training under the guardianship of
Imamate she reached such a position that the Masoom (Imam) gave her
the title of Masoomah (infallible), and because of her worship and
abstemiousness she acquired the status of intercession. This is why the most
learned scholars, the greatest Maraje', and the real Gnostics are
humbly standing at her holy shrine saying:

O Fatimah(a.s.) intercede for us in heaven since you have reached a
dignified status from a high rank with Allah(swt)

There is a tradition that states that out of the eight gates of heaven,
one will open towards Qom and due to her intercession all Shias will
go to heaven.

<<< Visitors entitled to Heaven >>>
-----------------------------------
In tradition it is excessively mentioned that whoever visits (does
ziyarat of) Hazrat Masoomah(a.s.), heaven is incumbent upon that person and
this position is obtained by her after the fourteen Masoomeen(a.s.).

Imam Riza(a.s.) has said:
Whoever visits her (performs her ziyarat) acknowledging her right, is
entitled to heaven.

In Kamil-al-ziyarah it is quoted from Imam Riza(a.s)
Whoever does the ziyarat of Masooma in Qom it is as though he/she has
done my ziyarat

<<< Haram of Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) >>>
---------------------------------
Imam Jafer Sadiq (a.s) says: Haram of Allah(swt) – Mecca, Haram of
Rasool(sawaw) – Madina, Haram of Imam Ali(a.s.) – Kufa, and the Haram
of Ahlul bait(a.s.) is Qom.

Please remember to recite special prayers and offer nazrana on this
occassion to renew your allegiance to Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and his
Ahl-e-bait(a.s.).
