A quick update on the progress of the 2nd Chance Books program

Since the start of 2nd Chance Books for Prisoners in March, we have managed to send 137 books to prisoners throughout the United States.

We want to thank you all for your generous contributions and for all of your support. We want to stress the importance of helping a fellow believer who is less fortunate than ourselves and to remember that our beloved Imam Ali (as) is reported to have said through a beautiful narration

“Do not feel ashamed if the amount of charity is small because to refuse the needy is an act of greater shame”

“To render relief to the distressed and to help the oppressed make amends for great sins.”

The way that you can help assist us in this great task is to visit http://www.yasinpublications.org/2nd-chance-books/ Once you go to the website an in-depth description of the program is located there and also you will see a donate button to send you contributions to sponsor a prisoner.

Again we are overwhelmingly thankful to Allah (swt) and the Ahlul bayt (as) for allowing us the opportunity to assist our English speaking community. We also thank you for all of your continuous support and ask that you humbly to continue to grow with us by the permission of Allah (swt). We salute you all and want you to know the we are at your service.

الحمد لله

Cristianos que defendieron y murieron por el Profeta Muhámmad y su familia

Cristianos que defendieron y murieron por el Profeta Muhámmad y su familia

We are glad to announce that through the amazing work of Shia Translate we have been able to publish the Spanish version of Christians who Defended and Died for Muhammad and his Family.

This work will be a great way to open up the minds of the Latino people and show them how the true relationship was between the Muslims and the Christian during the time of the Prophet (pbuh) and during the time of Imam Ali (pbuh).

“You will surely find that the strongest in enmity against those who believe are the Jews and the idolaters (Pagans); and you will find the nearest in love to those who believe to be those who say, “We are Christians”. That is because there are amongst them, men devoted to learning (priests) and men who have renounced the world (monks), and because they are not proud. And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you will see their eyes overflow with tears at what they recognize as Truth; and they will say, “O our Lord! We believe, so record us amongst the witnesses. Why should we not believe in God and the Truth that is given to us, nor desire that our Lord should make us enter the company of the righteous?” Therefore God has rewarded them, for what they said, with Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever; that is the reward of those who do good.” (Quran 5:82 – 85)

Imam Ali (AS) is reported as saying “Know that people are of two types: they are either your brothers in religion or your equal in creation.”

If you know of any Spanish speaking Muslim’s or Latino Muslim groups please share this information with them.
