Dearborn Journalist Legacy Was Celebrated at Islamic House of Wisdom

In a turning point memorial service for DEARBORN late journalist, the editor of Al-Sabeel magazine marhoom Mohammad Jaber, a big number of community religious, cultural, political and legal leaders gathered at IHW to express condolences to the Jaber family, sharing their memories of Mohammad’s life!

The passionate and inspiring speaker of the memorial services included Judge Sam Salame, Osama Siblini, Adnan Beydoun, Kamil Bazzi, Zouheir Alawieh and Sara Jaber.

At the end Imam Elahi addressed the audience and prayed for deceased’s soul and spoke about the power of journalism in enlightenment of societies and making a difference in the social and political environments.

Imam mentioned that the media is mightier than military's since it’s dealing with the people’s souls not just the soldiers. This is why the corporations do their best to control the corresponding networks to mislead the people for the sake of their greedy purposes!

While the media machine usually operates as a business, exchanging its independence and freedom with money and politics, there are so many courageous, dignified and heroic journalists who travel to the most turbulent and tragic parts of the world, risk their lives and sacrifice all they have to speak for the victims of injustice and to share the truth with those who live in the darkness of ignorance and propaganda!

Imam referred to some famous writers including Oliver Stone and his most honest three minutes speech during an Award ceremony of “the Writers Guild of America” in 2017.

Honoring personality and professional journalism and service of late Mohammad Jaber, the imam asked the community to show support for their servants before they mourn their departure!

Now that sadly Al-Sabeel magazine is gone, let’s appreciate another great weekly paper still serving significantly, it’s called “Arab American News” under the leadership of Ostad Osama Siblini!

Imam Elahi added that despite of looking at national publications such as NYT and Washington Post almost every day, yet every Friday morning while getting ready for Friday prayer he looks at AAN and would find so many interesting local and international articles and very beneficial subjects.

Imam said it’s true that sometime AAN publishes controversial issues which might be part of media nature or human imperfections but looking at the amount of hard work and dedication behind this great service, we should honor Mr. Osama Siblani and his staff for advocating a good direction for our community and country!

Let’s ask Congress to make America great again, by putting ban on alcohol again! Alcohol is the most dangerous kind of drug in this country. 

Drunk driving is the most deadly cause of traffic accidents in our country! 

This drug in general contributes to over 88000 of death cases and many cases of domestic violence, divorces, addiction, robbery, homicide and other criminal acts in our country!

Intoxication is an aggression against human intellect and should have no room in any civilized and faithful household!

O you who have faith! Indeed wine, gambling, idols and the divining arrows are abominations of Satan’s doing, so avoid them, so that you may be felicitous.(Quran 5-90)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

In Thursday evening's prayer, some members of the community gathered to remember the late, Ayatollah Hashemi - one of the most distinguished students of Martyr Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Bagher Al-Sadr in Najaf over 12 years.

While Saddam regime was looking for ayatollah Sayyed Mahmud Shahroudi, under the advice of martyr Sadr, he fled to Kuwait and then Iran. He started an educational hawzah in Qum, worked with martyr Sayyed Bagher Al-Hakim and many high services in Iran.

He suffered a painful cancer stared from a year ago. He was a shining light of hope of future leadership and marjaeyya. May Allah bless his pure soul and provide patience to his family and all followers of Ahlol-Bait all over the world!

If you can’t make a sacrifice to feed the hungry and the needy, serve your society and humanity with other methods of sacrifice!

Abraham was ready to sacrifice his son to show his submission to his Lord!

Are you ready to sacrifice and serve with your time, talent, ideas, words and deeds?

Too much ignorance, injustice, hatred and racism! Recovery requires so much financial, intellectual and spiritual sacrifice !

Celebrating Imam Ridha (as) Birthday with IHW Kids and their Families!

We had s friendly, faithful and also funny event at IHW last night. We opened the stage for those kids who liked to come up and share some words with the audience. 

All the conversation was about the life of the Imam Ridha (SA) and the lessons to learn from his leadership, guidance, devotion, prayers, knowledge, compassion, courage and his sacrifice for the sake of humanity.

The Imams birthdays are good opportunities to reflect on the prophet (pbuh) family and get educated on their struggles for freedom, justice, human dignity and salvation.

Eid Prayer at Islamic House of Wisdom

35381407_10160478974210293_1580824174274805760_o.jpg

The First Prayer was led by Imam Elahi, the second Prayer was led by Shaikh Ali Nassour a guest speaker from Lebanon!

Imam Elahi's Eid message in both Eid and Friday prayer:

Though Ramadan has so many titles such as month of faith, fast, revelation, reflection, resistance, piety, prayer, God’s Reception..

Yet the best lesson to learn and the best resolution to make would be “Mercy and Forgiveness”.

Imam Elahi reflected on how asking God for forgiveness was our main prayer in this month, and then let’s share what we were given by God, with other people, being our family, friends or neighbors.

If God is forgiving, let’s be forgiving! The only people we shouldn’t easily forgive are those who hurt humanity, the oppressors, the forces of injustice.

Imam Elahi mentioned the recent meeting between Trump and Kim Jung and spoke about political gambling in which in a matter of a night a man whom in the eyes of president Trump was an object of fire and fury, a mad man, a rocket man, a dictator, and criminal, all the sudden turned to a talent man who loves his country and meeting with him became an honor!!

Imam also mentioned the recent hypocritical offer of Netanyahu about helping the Iranian people in water crises and said this is the man behind all the sanctions, suffering and assassination of Iranian scientists and the Gaza massacre and should not be allowed to lie that loud! 

Imam prayed for the people of Yemen and condemned the war crimes of house of Saud, the corrupt kingdom of Arabia who continues its brutal bombardments even on the day of Eid. The people of Yemen are dying of starvation, they need bread not bombs. This Wahabi mentality is the same ideology that created the isis tragedy for humanity. 

At the end imam Elahi spoke of a hdith from Imam Ali talking about forgiveness and fairness at two fundamental moral values in human society.

We call the Lord on the Day of Eid as the Lord of Mercy and Forgiveness lets share these values with our friends and foes as long as they are not abused and wasted!

Honoring Ramadan Community Guest Speakers at IHW

Last Monday's dinner included those interested guests still in town!

Our honorable Consul General Suzan Yasin and her husband in addition to a number of community personalities made the dinner more dynamic!

Sayyed Hatam al-Shokr and imam Elahi spoke during the dinner about the necessity of unity and cooperation in the community.

Imam Elahi called the Eid if Fitr a festival of faith and forgiveness, friendship and reconciliation!

Referring to the Eid prayer that calling the Creator the Lord of both power and pardoning and mercy, imam asked all the scholars in the town to show the humbleness we have been asking our people during the Month.

Reading a Hadith from the holy prophet considering the Muslim scholars the carriers of the prophets legacies including education, providing the light of guidance, standing for freedom and justice, imam explained how vitally these services are needed in this dark, oppressive and disappointing world!

Imam Elahi talked about immorality of separating the kids from immigrant parents at the US borders but mentioned something even worse is the crime of Alkhalifa regime in Bahrain that deporting the citizens of that island and revoking their nationality despite of being born and raised in Bahrain.

The imam also condemned the war crimes of Saudi kingdom in Yemen during the Eid’s days.

Imam Elahi called all lovers of freedom and democracy to attend the march starting from Saudi embassy in Washington DC, demanding the Saudi monarchy to let the reconstruction of the shrines of the prophet family in Baqi in Medina. The shrines were destroyed by the Wahhabi agents of Saudi regime last century! Something the Wahhabi forces continue to do in other holy places in the Middle East today!
