Today the last day of the month of Zil-Qa’dah is a poignant occasion for all believers. It is the day on which a very noble person was forced to leave the world in the prime of youth through a fatal dose of poisoning. To be more precise, today is the anniversary of the martyrdom of the 9th Imam of the Household of Prophet Mohammad (blessings of God upon him and his progeny).
