Condolences to the late Ayatollah Al-Hashemi Al-Shahroudi Honorable family and Members of Faith Community!
In Thursday evening's prayer, some members of the community gathered to remember the late, Ayatollah Hashemi - one of the most distinguished students of Martyr Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Bagher Al-Sadr in Najaf over 12 years.
His 3 brothers’ sayyed Mustafa, Sayyed Hadi and Sayyed Muhsen were tortured and executed by criminal Saddam and their bodies were never given back to their family.
While Saddam regime was looking for ayatollah Sayyed Mahmud Shahroudi, under the advice of martyr Sadr, he fled to Kuwait and then Iran. He started an educational hawzah in Qum, worked with martyr Sayyed Bagher Al-Hakim and many high services in Iran.
He suffered a painful cancer stared from a year ago. He was a shining light of hope of future leadership and marjaeyya. May Allah bless his pure soul and provide patience to his family and all followers of Ahlol-Bait all over the world!

Celebrating Imam Ridha (as) Birthday with IHW Kids and their Families!
We had s friendly, faithful and also funny event at IHW last night. We opened the stage for those kids who liked to come up and share some words with the audience.
All the conversation was about the life of the Imam Ridha (SA) and the lessons to learn from his leadership, guidance, devotion, prayers, knowledge, compassion, courage and his sacrifice for the sake of humanity.
The Imams birthdays are good opportunities to reflect on the prophet (pbuh) family and get educated on their struggles for freedom, justice, human dignity and salvation.
We can support the cause of Ahlol-baith of the prophet through sharing their teachings with the rest of our fellow citizens and also becoming good role model in serving the society and be part of solution in this complicated and confusing world.
