O People of our Shias, listen and understand our commandments and our covenant to our followers. Be truthful in your talk. Fulfill your oath to your friends and your enemies. Help each other with your properties. Love each other with your hearts. Give alms to your poor. Come together in your affairs. Do not cheat nor betray anyone. Do not have doubts after certitude. Do not escape out of cowardice after intrepidity. Do not turn away from the people whom you love. Your desire should not be for the love of other than you; nor should your love be for other than you; nor should your act be for other than your Lord; nor should your faith and purpose be for other than your Prophet (s). Ask for the help of Allah, be patient. Indeed the earth belongs to Allah. He gives it to His servants whom He wants. And the final result is for the pious.
Since the June 12 Iranian presidential elections, Iran "experts” have mushroomed like bacteria in a Petri dish. So here is a quiz for all those instant experts. Which major country has elected more presidents than any in the world since 1980? Further, which nation is the only one that held ten presidential elections within thirty years of its revolution? The answer to both questions, of course, is Iran. Since 1980, it has elected six presidents, while the U.S. is a close second with five, and France at three. In addition, the U.S. held four presidential elections within three decades of its revolution to Iran’s ten.
The election results in Iran may reflect the will of the Iranian people. Many experts are claiming that the margin of victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the result of fraud or manipulation, but our nationwide 
On Saturday 6th June, the AhlulBayt Islamic Mission (AIM) in association with the Sun Cultural Foundation organised a national conference to mark the 20th Anniversary since the demise of His Eminence, the Late Imam Khomeini (RA). 
Verily we are from Allah and to Him do we return. It is with deep sadness and grief that the AhlulBayt Islamic Mission offers its condolences to the Imam of our time and the Ummah at large on the demise of his Eminence Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Taqi Behjat (may Allah elevate his status). The Grand Ayatollah who was revered by millions of followers, passed away in the holy city of Qum. Having suffered from heart problems, his eminence sadly departed this world towards the higher abode on Sunday 17th May 2009. 
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei urges Iranians and Muslims in general to resist enemy efforts to fuel sectarianism. "Those who are targeting our national unity using faith as an excuse… they are the elements of the enemy," the Leader said in the western Iranian city of Sanandaj on Tuesday. "Those who try to sow discord among Shia and Sunni are mercenaries of the enemy, whether they realize it or not," Ayatollah Khamenei told the large crowd gathered for the speech.
One of the most important obstacle for achieving the self-refinement is negligence. If round the clock we are submerged in worldly affairs, running away from remembrance of death, are not prepared for thinking about dying even for a moment, and if incidentally this thought enters in our minds, we try to deviate from it immediately. If, we are negligent about the dangerous consequences of moral vices, are not concerned about the indictment for sins and eternal punishment, and the belief in the Day of Resurrection has not penetrated the profundities of our soul beyond a superficial mental concept; then with such negligence, how could we take the decision for self-cleansing and refinement, and control and restrain it (the soul) against its desires?
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered an important sermon during Friday prayers at Tehran University. He defended Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the rightful winner of Iran's presidential election and called for an end to street protests.
The AhlulBayt Islamic Mission (AIM) is organising a nationwide Muslimah convention; an event for women only emphasizing the important role of Muslim women in the West. The event will take place on Saturday 11th July 2009 at the Islamic Centre in Maida Vale.
Lady Fatema (a) enjoys a special place in the hearts of Muslims all around the world; with their pleasure being subservient and indeed a derivative of her pleasure. Muslims believe that the Lady of Light (a) is the most superior woman through all the centuries and eras, following from the famous statement by the Holy Prophet (s). Each instance of her life provides insightful directive to seekers of truth; her martyrdom being no exception. The hearts of millions are overcome by sorrow and grief on these fateful days, when they mourn for the greatest exemplar of the teachings of Muhammad (s) and the tragedies that befell her. Her mighty revolution, from whose fountain all Islamic revolutionaries have quenched their thirst, to this day remains a hidden treasure just as her concealed grave.
By his deeds and words, this great scholar has always directed himself to God alone. A great mujtahid has said about Agha Behjat, "It cannot be just said about him that he is a man of piety; in fact he is the true essence and a manifestation of taqwa." From his youth, Agha Behjat was constantly engaged in self-purification and self-building. In his ethical instructions, he always insisted that one should work hard at this task and forego and abandon many luxuries in order to make headway against the endless demands of the soul. 
Shock and disbelief was the initial response last Wednesday as pilgrims to the Jannat al-Baqi cemetery were faced with a barrier cordoning off the graves of the four Shia Imams buried there. According to a report by the Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA), the graves of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, Imam Zainul Abideen, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, and Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (peace be upon them) in the al-Baqi cemetery have been barricaded, preventing individual from even casting their glance on the holy sites. Security personnel present at the site informed the pilgrims that the barriers will be permanent.
