Congratulations to you on the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (as) the Master of Believers.

Born in the Kaaba this day, Imam’s qualities of leadership and thought transformation guide the world today and so many people of all ages ethnicities faiths acknowledge his masters over many disciplines.

Yes for someone who exercised leadership in the political spiritual and temporal realms, his poetic rendering of supplication and humility before Allah and his forgiveness of fellow human beings is an area so many have reflected upon.

Today as so many children with disability around the world, blindness, deafness, physical impairment and disease as well as the children who have lost a father to acts of violence abs illness crave a fatherly pillar in their upbringing, you can make a difference to their lives and being the source of hope, the catalyst of imagination, the enabler of comfort and the provider of basic necessity until they grow up and care for themselves and their families.

This where you support for the work of the Lady Fatemah as Charitable Trust enables miracles around the world every day transforming despair into hope, dependency into autonomy helplessness into power to care for self and others.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Let us together honour the father of the Imams by emulating his care for society’s weakest abs make them the pillars on which we rebuild a stronger more resilient and happier future.
