Today is that memorable day in history when the holy Ka'ba in Mecca that Symbolic House of God, came alive. It is the blessed 13th of Rajab, a public holiday in the Islamic Republic of Iran, to mark the birth anniversary of the Model-Par-Excellence of Faith, Piety, Virtue, Valour, Wisdom, Justice, and all other egalitarian values. He is none other than Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (PBUH), the First Infallible Successor of Prophet Mohammad (Blessings of God upon him and his progeny).
