Salaam everyone,

“ And so many a moving creature carries not its own provision! Allah provides for it and for you. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.”

The Holy Quran 29:60

Over a decade ago, when we started Anjuman Gulistan e Zahra (sa), we did so with the hope of creating a community for ourselves and our future generations. All Glory is to Allah (swt) that guided us all into being one community, one people, all lovers of the Ahlulbayt (as). A few months ago, we as a community had set a goal together. This goal was to have a space of our own, a Hussainiya that lives and breathes the message of Imam Hussain (as). An Imambargah that champions the value of wilayat e Imam Ali (as). A space where we can unite as one and worship Allah (swt). Today, that goal has been achieved.

Zamin-e-Haider Islamic Center will be opening its doors this Muharram with the blessing of the Ahlulbayt (as). We hope as a community we can continue growing and evolving in this new space, still located in Parkville, MD. InshAllah we will provide more details on the location of the center and our first event when everyone recites salwaat and sends curse on the enemies of the Ahlulbayt (as).

Salaam everyone,
We hope this blessed month of Ramadan is starting off well for you. With the merit of this auspicious month in mind, we have decided to create a GoFundMe for our Anjuman Gulistan e Zahra (sa) center fund. This is a great way for us to be able to share our community’s goal and hopefully increase contributions towards it. Everyone is welcome to donate as little or as much as they can. Furthermore, we ask that you share this out to as many people as you know! All donations will go directly towards our center fund and not be used for any other reason and are tax deductible. Thank you so much. May this month continue to bless all momineen with prosperity.

Eid e Ghadeer Jashan 2022

05/17/2022

Salaam everyone,
Gun violence has become an increasingly dangerous issue in America and wrongfully taken the lives of many. Furthermore, racial hate crimes in this country remain high as we watch officials do little for the sake of equity and the protection of communities of color. Please join us in reciting a Surah al-Fatiha for the victims of the Buffalo mass shooting from Saturday. We say the names of these victims as we honor their lives and pray for the hasty return of Imam Mahdi (as) to bring justice to the oppressed. Please recite one salwaat and one dua-e-zuhoor-e-Imam-e- Zamana (as). The names of these victims are:
Aaron Salter
Ruth Whitfield
Pearly Young
Katherine Massey
Deacon Hayward Patterson
Celestine Chaney
Robert A. Drurey
Margus D. Morrison
Andre Mackneil
Geraldine Talley.

Please also pray for the speedy recovery of the injured victims. Lastly, we ask that as the Shias of Ali (as), you do not isolate justice when making voting decisions. Please vote for the safety of communities like our own by voting for more strict gun laws, for politicians who are not backed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), and for anti-racist policies. May Allah (swt) send blessings on you and your families and protect you day and night. Ilahi Ameen.

Salaam everyone,
We would like to congratulate you all on the birth anniversary of Imam Hussain (as). Through Imam Hussain (as) we have learned what it looks like to holistically love Allah (SWT). The service of Imam Hussain (as) has refined us and we pray that it continues to do so. As we navigate dark time the struggles of our life, looking to Imam Hussain’s (as) life reminds us the bounties available to us through Allah (swt). May we continue to uphold the justice, love, and patience taught to us by Imam Hussain (as). May this community continue to flourish and welcome the Imam (ATFS) of our time sooner than later. Lastly, may we all get the chance of Imam Hussain’s (as) ziyarat ourselves. Ilahi Ameen. Have a beautiful day.

As we mark the beginning of Shaban, a month in which we usually celebrate the birth of many holy personalities, Shias around the world are being forced to mourn their community members from Peshawar. Though it is important for us to pray for our Shia family members in Peshawar, we also must curse the killers of our brethren. We as a community must condemn these actions in every prayer. For those who are local to Peshawar or have family in the area, please share with us as to how we can support our Shia brothers and sisters in this time of mourning. Please recite a Surah Fatiha for those we lost in this despicable act. Inna lilla hai wa inna ilayhay raji’un.
