Cada año el mundo es testigo de cómo millones de personas se dirigen a Karbalá para conmemorar la valiente postura del Imam Husain (p) en defensa de la verdad. No se trata de una visita para obtener beneficios personales, ni tampoco únicamente de cumplir con una práctica ritual de siglos de antigüedad. Más bien, es una profunda convicción y determinación de reafirmar y mantener en alto aquello por lo que el Imam Husain se levantó y sacrificó su vida en las llanuras de Karbalá.
Los principios por los cuales él, sus compañeros y su familia entregaron todo debían permanecer vivos después de su partida de este mundo. Una tarea tan grande no podía ser confiada a cualquier persona; debía recaer en alguien inquebrantable, firme en su convicción, y dotado del conocimiento y la elocuencia necesarios para mantener vivo el legado Husainí. Esa persona fue Zaynab (p), la nieta del Profeta Muhammad (p), la hija del Imam Ali (p) y de Lady Fátima (p), y la hermana devota del Imam Husain (p).
Su nacimiento, su crianza y los acontecimientos de su vida la prepararon para el destino que le aguardaba en Karbala, Kufa y Damasco. Ella se enfrentó a la tiranía y la opresión, resistió la corrupción de los ideales del Islam, rompió barreras sociales y demostró que con sabiduría, firmeza y paciencia se puede superar cualquier adversidad.

¡Esta es Zaynab!

Three Quranic Moral Traits for a Successful Family: About this Book:

God’s guiding message to humanity is complete and applicable in every time, place, and circumstance. It provides a blueprint for salvation and specifies the keys to success down to the minutest detail. Yet, Islam is simultaneously simple and easy to understand, a quality that can be discerned from the verses of the Holy Quran. Consequently, Quranic guidelines not only describe the lofty qualities that result in the improvement of humankind, but also what earns the pleasure of the Creator. One such verse addresses Prophet Zakariyya (p) and his family, and the three simple characteristics that opened the door of God’s blessings for them. The lesson embedded within this verse is rooted in the benefits of deep faith, excellent character, and good actions, and it is a code for every person who is seeking closeness to their Lord. This concise booklet expounds upon the three qualities exemplified by Prophet Zakariyya (p) and his family by dissecting their significance in light of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Ahl al-Bayt (pbut) so that the true believer can easily learn God’s principles and apply them to every aspect of life.

Marriage in Islam – About this Book:

As creations and servants of God, we practice our devotion and build a connection with Him on an individual basis. On the other hand, Islam also emphasizes the importance of inter-human relationships and the critical role they play in the evolution of our faith, not just from a spiritual perspective, but also through the fulfillment of our biological and emotional needs. This is particularly the case for a believer, who seeks to shape every aspect of life to grow closer to God. As such, human relationships represent a means by which a believer can reinforce faith, develop consistency in practice, and seek assistance during challenges. There is no more crucial relationship for this than the one that exists between wife and husband. According to Islam, marriage is an institution that not only fosters mercy, compassion, and love, but also completes a believer’s conviction and aspiration towards fully reaching their potential. Hence, Islam emphasizes the need for marriage to strengthen the bonds of faith between people and, more importantly, pass them on to successive generations. We should consider it prudently and with full intention and effort to uphold the rights God has given each person, because in doing so, we not only guarantee the improvement of everyone, but the growth and success of the family and the advancement of society.

Las leyes islámicas, aunque universales y aplicables a todo ser humano, son también profundamente específicas y están diseñadas para atender las necesidades distintivas de ciertos grupos, especialmente en aspectos relacionados con la biología humana. Esta dualidad se hace particularmente evidente en temas relacionados con la reproducción. Por ejemplo, aunque los principios generales de pureza ritual y las obligaciones de culto abarcan tanto a hombres como a mujeres, las mujeres pasan por cambios biológicos únicos que el Islam aborda con orientaciones específicas. Entre estas orientaciones destacan los estados de menstruación (hayḍ), el sangrado irregular (istiḥāḍah) y el sangrado postparto (nifās). Estas condiciones, habituales en la vida de las mujeres pueden plantear retos particulares e incluso generar incertidumbre, especialmente en el cumplimiento de las obligaciones religiosas diarias, como son la oración y el ayuno. Por ello, es fundamental comprender las normas islámicas que regulan el ciclo reproductivo femenino y sus aplicaciones detalladas.

Este folleto ofrece una exposición breve pero completa sobre estos temas. Redactado en un estilo claro y asequible, está diseñado para ser una guía práctica que le facilite a muchas mujeres la comprensión y aplicación de estas enseñanzas en su vida diaria.

Cradles of Light – Mothers of the Holy Imams: About this Book:

Every human is the sum of many factors that shape their personal characteristics, behavior, potential, drive, and actions. Yet, there are certain elements that are critical in determining who we are and that have an indelible influence on how we turn out as people. These elements are not transitory but actual sources that create our fundamental blueprint and instill within us the foundation upon which we grow and develop. Of these, there is no more important influence than the mother. She is the vessel that carries and shelters us until we are ready to enter this world. She feeds us from herself, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Thus, we see great people crediting their successes and laudable feats to their mothers. Now, imagine the mothers who are the sources of God’s chosen guides, prophets, messengers, and imams—those who carry, nurture, and deliver the infallible individuals who shape the world around them and become a source of humanity’s salvation. These women are beautiful role models of piety, asceticism, virtue, and strength for every person, and they represent the ideal spouse and parent. Therefore, we should consider who they were, what type of qualities they possessed, and the conditions in which they lived and sacrificed for the cause of God. The mothers of the infallible Imams (pbut) are a particularly important group of individuals whom we should study and emulate, not only because we can learn from their devotion to God and their patience, but also because they break the stereotypical mold for what today’s society commonly considers to be the ideal wife. Although our world covets wealth, social status, and worldly education in a wife and mother today, these women showed that spiritual richness, esteem through piety, and divine guidance are more significant and eternal for the union between a man and woman and for the advancement of successive generations. Furthermore, it is the qualities that they possessed and passed on to their offspring that protected Islam when it most needed protection, shielding it from corruption and resisting ruin from the most potent assaulting forces. Therefore, this booklet reflects on the lives of the mothers of the prophets, messengers, and imams to honor those cradles of light and learn from their profound legacy. In this lies our salvation and ascent towards our Creator.

El libro que tienes ante ti es el primero de su tipo. Ha elevado el género de las historias proféticas a nuevas alturas. En lugar de simplemente recopilar y traducir escrituras y tradiciones, Los Emisarios de Dios, La Vida de Jesús, presenta un conjunto de historias completo, teológicamente sólido, cautivador y creíble. Representa a los profetas de Dios como los héroes que eran, poseedores de las más sobresalientes cualidades humanas y ejemplares en todos los aspectos de su ser. Esta obra entrelaza numerosos versículos coránicos y tradiciones plausibles que nos han llegado del Profeta Muhammad y su familia, en una épica historia de los incansables esfuerzos de Dios por guiar a la humanidad.

La ilustración de la portada es un dibujo del contorno de un Arbusto de Lycium, que es un símbolo de la continuidad de la guía divina desde Adán hasta el Mahdi. Fue de un Arbusto de Lycium en el jardín de donde Adán talló su bastón. Él llevó el bastón a la tierra, y este pasó de generación en generación hasta la época de Jetro. Jetro entregó el bastón a Moisés cuando partió hacia Egipto. Con el bastón, Moisés asombró al faraón, derrotó a los hechiceros, abrió el mar y sacó agua de una roca. Según las tradiciones, el bastón pasó al Profeta Muhammad y, de él, a través de la línea de sus sucesores. Ahora descansa con el último de aquellos que “hará con él lo que Moisés solía hacer con él”.
