Dua Ahad
Shi’a Muslims are encouraged to pray for Imam Mahdi (atf) during his absence (occultation). There are a number of supplications pleading to Allah to hasten the return and rise of Imam al-Mahdi (atf).
This plea is for an end to oppression, and for justice. But it is also a deep yearning to be in the company of our Imam (atf). And is ultimately an expression of profound love for Allah, for our Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) and for the Ahlul-Bayt (AS).
Dua Ahd is one of the more well known, and frequently recited supplications. According to hadith attributed to Imam Jafer Sadeq (AS) it should be recited for forty days consecutively, and with Allah’s grace one may be one of the helpers of the 12th Imam (atf).

Altaf
Ar Rahman
Allah (swt) in Sura Ar Rahman (55) reminds humans and jinn of the beauty and abundance that we have been given here, and what awaits us in the next.
But not only are we forgetful of this beauty, we actively deny Allah’s bounties, and disrupt the balance. And, as a result, cause immense zulm (oppression) on others, and on ourselves.
This Sura provides the finest reminder of our obligation to care for our environment – because this is a gift from Allah. When we ignore and destroy our ecology, we turn away and deny a beautiful gift from our Sustainer. And when we deny the next world – it is as if we are living a delusion.
This flash presentation is not quite complete – you can read the English interpertation for about a 1/4 of the Sura, and I may change some of the photographs. Click here to view flash presentation.
