An amazing experience on Imam Ali’s martyrdom

SobhanAllah! I’m amazed at how Allah through small things sends His messages and reminds of of His all-encompassing presence!

I was sitting on the soft with the laptop on my knees. My iPhone was resting on the armchair. Suddenly I hear a sound from the headphones. What?! I did have a talk with a brother a while ago, did I perhaps forget to end the call?!

I put the headphones in my ears. SobhanAllah! I can’t still believe it. What do I hear?

I hear Ayatollah Taleqani(RA) giving a fiery speech about the political betrayal of Imam Ali(A) on the 21:st of the month of Ramadan!! With strong rhetorics he depicts the political scenario of that time and what difficulties Imam Ali(A) met and how his circumstances are very similar to what we Muslims face today. He then goes on speaking about martyrdom and elaborating on the magnificence of Imam Ali(A) while people are crying. Indeed you can hear the agony on Ayatollah Taleqani’s(RA) voice as well.

“I where your bodily neighbor for years but spiritually I was alone.” (Imam Ali(A))

I don’t understand how this could have occurred. I do have an album with Imam Khomeini’s lectures in my iPhone but I finished listening to them months ago. Since then I’ve heard many other things. The latest tracks where the Quran playing. How the iPod started by itself, how it chose the album of Imam Khomeini(RA) (where the lecture of Ayatollah Taleqani(RA) is located), and how it started to play the lecture about Imam Ali(A) on the 21:st month of Ramadan – which is neither the first nor the last lecture – in the middle of 47 other lectures, that is truly a miracle. SobhanAllah…

I have uploaded the lecture so you can listen to it yourself and be amazed:
