February 4th to 8th, 2025 | Friday Night: Celebration of Wiladat of Imam Sajjad & Hazrat Ali Akbar (AS)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful Announcements Imam Sajjad (AS): ------------------ اِيـّاكَ وَالاِْبْتـِهاجَ بالِذَّنْبِ، فاِنَّ الاِْبْتِهاجَ بِهِ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ركُوُبِهِ. Beware of rejoicing over sin, for rejoicing over it is greater than committing it. امام سجاد عليه السلام فرمود: مبادا به گناهى كه انجام داده اى خوشحال باشى، زيرا اظهار شادى بخاطر گناه از انجام آن «گناه» بزرگتر است.
