We offer you our heartfelt condolences on the anniversary of a tragic day that coincides every year with commencement of the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca and on the threshold of Eid al-Adha. The 7th of Zi’l-Hijjah is indeed a doleful day as is evident by our commemoration of the martyrdom of an infallible member of the Prophet of Islam’s blessed household, who directed the minds of Muslims towards the great injustice done to the Ahl al-Bayt by depriving them of their right of political leadership.
