The Madinah and Bab al-Ilm Iran programme marked its 14th consecutive anniversary in the summer of 2016, with this being the first time that I decided to embark upon the course following my university education. This was also the first ever year in the programme that participants were bestowed the honour of being guests in the holy city of Qom for the birth anniversary of Sayeda Masouma (sa), as well as being in Mashhad for the corresponding celebrations for Imam Ridha (as).

The World Federation pleased to announce the excellent book ‘Karabla – The Complete Picture’ by Dr Mahmood Datoo is available for only £1.
The book covers the subject of the event of Karbala in an easy-to-understand yet comprehensive manner. The material is presented in a very simple format, with bullet points and short paragraphs, as well as maps. This makes the entire reading experience easy, quick and enjoyable.
Sister Ola Hassan recently commented:
“Having come back this morning from the recital of the tragedy of Karbala from an Islamic centre in London, I found your book ‘Karbala-The complete picture’ on my bookshelf which I have been meaning to read for a while.
“This evening I have finished reading your book page to page without being able to put it down. Never have I read an account so clearly written and well referenced.
“I just wished to thank you for your efforts in writing it. It has been written so simply and wonderfully I have passed it on to my teenage sister who I am sure will benefit from it just as much as I did.”
