When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) informed Lady Fatimah (PBUH) about the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and the sufferings he will face, she cried and asked: "O father! When will this tragedy take place?" Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) replied: "At a time when you, Ali, and I have left this world." ...

Hello to friends & family & friends like family !
Ok ! Today will be last ;) Last day of uni classes before the Nowruz vacations ! 13 days fully mine to fill with my bests :D Although seemingly I used to make joy of it before when I was child , free without any engagements , responsibilities … Anyway it’s still fun ; drawing , watching films , cartoons , visiting friends , relatives , scrumptious Nowruz food , Ajil ( a mix of pistachio , almond , hazel-nut , walnut and so on )
You know this Nowruz thing ususaly fills me with that of nice Iranian traditions : a set of 7 S ( we call it Haft-Sin => seven things their names start with S and each is of a special meaning , symbol : Sib ( apple ) , Sabze ( grass ) , Sir ( garlic ) , Sekke ( coin ) , Serke ( vinegar ) . Somaq ( sumac ) , Samano ( a simple Iranian dish ) besides coloured eggs , cute red fishes and so forth ( I hope that foolish war won’t disturb our nice , memorable days of Nowruz ! ) …
Well , about yesterday … A meeting was held in TU ( Tehran University ) where five Anti-Zionist Rabbies were invited to lecture . A lot of students had crowded the hall , welcomed the guests with claps . The first who started the speech was Rabbi Ahron Cohen who was the eldest of five ( actually reminded me of my late grandpa who also resembled Santa Claus :D . in addition I got to know that the name Cohen is the same as Seyyed in islam , whose root turns back to prophet Muhammad – PBUH , the same as a Kohen who’s related to Prophet Moses brother I think … ) The next after Cohen was younger who addressed very energetically , in vivid … Besides the content ( which of course I knew that the true Jew differs Zionism and has nothing to do with it ) It semed odd to me , how they’ve dared to make such a trip and won’t they face any difficulty in return to US ?! ( Actually it was a common question , even one of the students and also TV announcer asked if they are a tricky plot by Zionists to reduce the pressure of criticism towards them ? ) … Anyway to me was interesting , tempted me do some research on Jewish history and specially some of their genetic features ( for instance why they’re mostly thin , tall and their blood category is mostly O+ !! )
P.S ~ here’s some pictures of the gathering .
