Imama was born in Montreal and has four sisters. His mother, Kumbia, and father, Bokondji, immigrated to Canada from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [15] Career statistics [ edit ] Argh!!! You would get a shudder, goosebumps by just reading and understanding these lines. The ‘pure’ romance conundrum which finally unites the protagonists in the end, is the only reason people are so in awe of this book.

As far as I can remember, this might be the first time I have read a full novel in Urdu and I must say it was really impressive. Before this I have read quite a few short stories but nothing more than that. According to Shia doctrine, he has been living in the Occultation since 872, and will continue as long as God wills it. [35] Therefore, it can be said that al-Tabari the Third is among the scholars who has been living since the second half of 4th/10th century until the first decades of 5th/11th century. This book left me satiated and I was really happy after reading it, the way Umera closed things off was so goooodddd and knowing that a second book exists seriously helped me get over my withdrawal. Imams of Shi'a are twelve people from the progeny of the Prophet (s) who are intellectual, spiritual and political leaders of Shi'a. The first one of whom was Imam 'Ali (a) and the rest are Imam 'Ali (a) and Lady Fatima's (a) children and grandchildren. According to Shi'a beliefs, after the Prophet (s), leadership of the Islamic society would always be upon Imams (a) who have been appointed by God. These Imams (a) have God-given knowledge, infallibility and the rights of intercession and by making Tawassul to them, one can become close to God. In addition to authority in religious teachings, these twelve Imams (a) have political leadership of the society as well. There are many hadiths from the Prophet (s) which have described their attributes and mentioned their names and show that all of them are from Quraysh and among the Ahl al-Bayt (a) of the Prophet (s) and the Promised Mahdi (a) is the last one of them.It's a very profound novel; it will hook you up till the end. The more you read the more it urges you to read. Initially, I thought Imama would turn out to be like every other female lead of an Urdu novel but she surprisingly had more spine and better judgment.

Grand Ayatullah Sayyid Ali Husaini Sistani was born on 9th Rabi Al-Awwal 1349 A.H. in the holy city of Mashhad. He was named Ali after his grandfather. Imamate (Arabic: الإمامة), from Shi'a point of view, is the leadership of the Islamic society, designated by God to succeed the Prophet (s) in all religious and worldly affairs. It is among the principles of Shi'a school and one of the points of difference between Shi'a and Sunnis. The importance of this principle among Shi'a led them to be titled as Imamiyya.About his place of living, there is no historical report available. But according to his sources in narration, who lived in Baghdad, it would be safe to assume that he must have spent many years of his life in Iraq especially Baghdad. The special position of imamate among Muslims also becomes obvious when the matter is historically studied. After the Prophet (s) passed away, the most important and critical issue debated and discussed among Muslims was imamate. No other religious teaching has ever been argued over like imamate has. [12] The shallowness doesn’t only reflect in the main protagonists but in every supporting character too. There were either GOOD people like Dr. Sibte Ali & Dr. Furqaan or BAD HYPOCRITES like Saad & Jalal Ansar. There were no grey lines, and hence the book seemed more bland and preachy. The Hanafis, such as Subcontinent and other Asian Muslims from the Chinese to the Turks, are particularly strict about never praying bareheaded. A famous manual of law according to the four Sunni Schools states, “According to the Hanafi school it is abominable to pray bareheaded out of laziness. But praying bareheaded out of humbleness and a feeling of submission is permitted.” The first group are those al-Tabari the Third attended their classes and received the permission for narrating hadith from them so that he could say "haddathana" [he told us], "haddathani" [he told me] or "akhbarani" [he reported to me] about them. The number of these sources is 19 people among whom are some great Shia and Sunni scholars.
