Last sound remains as long as one 'Alif'.

There are a few rules which make some sounds different and exceptional.

1.    For Example, Double Zabar. While stopping at Double Zabar we read last sound as long as one 'Alif'.

2.    Second example is 'Alif' itself. While stopping at 'Alif' (having one Zabar or two Zabar on it) the sound remains long up to length of one 'Alif'.

3.    Sometimes a few letters like 'Daal, Waow and Meem' have two Zabar and an extra silent 'Yaa' letter there, in this case sounds of Daal, Waow and Meem remain long.

4.    The sign of Long Zabar exists in it while stopping and sound remains long.

        “Our Prophet, Muhammad ('alaihi 's-salâm), was born in Mekka on the Monday morning of Rabî' al-awwal 12, which coincided with April 20, 571 (mîlâdî). He passed away in Medina in the 11th year of the Hegira (m. 632). At the age 40, the angel called Jabrâ'il ('alaihi 's-salâm) revealed to him his prophethood. He emigrated (hijra) from Mekka to Medina in 622; his arrival at the Kubâ village near Medina on Monday, September 20, marks the beginning of the Muslims' Hijrî Shamsî (solar) calendar, while Muharram 1 of the same year marks the beginning of the Qamarî (lunar) calendar. The Persian Shamsî year begins six months before this, that is, on the twentieth of March, which is the day of the Magian festival.”

Hadhrat Abu Baker Siddeeq passed away on 22nd Jamadi-al-Sani in 13 Hijri/23rd of August 634. He made his Successor Hadhrat Omar (Father-in-Law of Holy Prophet) before his death.

Hadhrat Ali Ruled from 35 to 40 Hijri and he was assassinated on the day of 21st of Ramadan.
            After the assassination of Hadhrat حَضْرَتْ Ali, people of Koofa accepted Hadhrat Imam Hasn as Khalifa and after 6 months Hadhrat Imam Hassan handed over whole kingdom to Hadhrat حَضْرَتْ Mua’wia in Rabi-al-awwal 41st Hijri on a conditioned agreement.
Hadhrat Mua’wia also was one of the companions of Holy Prophet. He ruled 20 years from 40 to 60 Hijri as a king. He had been Governor of Syria before being a king since 20 years (Syria was a province/state of Great Islamic Kingdom Khilaafat خِلَافَتْ at that time).  He died in month of Rajab in 60 Hijri.
            After the death of Hadhrat Mua’wia his son Yazid was appointed as a king according to his will. Yazid was a bad person and a bad sinner. Yazid was born in Era of Hadhrat Usman in 25th of Hijri. Name of his mother was Maisoon.
 Hadhrat Husain refused to accept him (Yazid) as Muslim King. Hadhrat Husain received a lot of Letters from people of the city of Koofa (in Iraq). People of Koofa wanted to see him as a Muslim Khalifa. Hadhrat Imam Husain travelled from Medina to Mecca on 4th Sha’abaan in 60th of Hijri.
Hadhrat Nouman نُعْمَان bin Bashir, one of the companions of Holy Prophet was Governor of Koofa at that time. Hadhrat Imam Husain sent Hadhrat Muslim bin Aqeel (his two young sons Muhammad and Ibrahim were with him) to know the current situation of Koofa. Hadhrat Muslim bin Aqeel wrote a letter to Hadhrat Imam Husain that people of Koofa loved him so much and were ready to accept him as a Khalifa of Muslims.
Meanwhile Governor of Koofa was changed by Yazid. Name of new Governor was Abdullah bin Ziyaad. He announced there in Koofa to favor Yazid. He declared that if someone would favor Hadhrat Imam Husain he would be punished. Hadhrat Muslim bin Aqeel and his sons were killed (martyred) there in Koofa by new Governor Ibne-Ziyad. On the same day Hadhrat Imam Husain left for Koofa. People who met Hadhrat Imam Husain in his way they told him that people of Koofa Loved to him but they were standing with Banu Umayyad (Yazid) if any mishap. They suggested him to do not travel to Koofa.
On 10th of Muharram 61 Hijri on the land of Iraq (Karbala desert), army of Yazid Killed Hadhrat Husain including many of his family members and his friends there. It was first month Muharram of 61 Hijri year which coincided with 680 AD. Muslims has been cursing on Yazid and they do so still from that incident. Muslims Loved and they love still the name of Hadhrat Husain (Grand-son of Holy Prophet).

Short history of Prophets and Eid ul Adha

Hadhrat Adam  حَضْرَتْ اٰدَمْ(Adem) is believed to have been the first human being and the first prophet and messenger in Islam. Adam's role as the father of the human race is looked upon by Muslims with reverence. Muslims also venerate his wife, Eve, as the "mother of mankind". Muslims see Adam as the first Muslim, as the Qur'an promulgates that all the prophets preached the same faith of submission to Allah. Allah sent less than or more than one lac and twenty four thousand Prophets for the guidance of mankind. There are some names of Prophets of Allah. These names are found in Holy Quran.

Time Period:

Prophet حَضْرَتْ Ibrahim was born 2510 BH (Before Hijrat), and he died 2329 BH (aged approximately 175). Prophet Moosa was born in 2076 BH, and died in 1952 BH, and the era of Prophet Eesa(Jesus) was 571 years ago than birth of Prophet Muhammad حَضْرَتْ مُحَمَّدْPeace and blessings be upon him. Hadhrat Eesa (Jesus) did not die according to Islam, Allah said in Quran:_

([Nisa 4:157] And because they said, "We have killed the Messiah, Eisa the son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allah"; they did not slay him nor did they crucify him, but a look-alike was created for them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they know nothing of it, except the following of assumptions; and without doubt, they did not kill him.

[Nisa 4:158] In fact Allah raised him towards Himself; and Allah is Almighty, Wise.)

Holy Prophet Muhammad migrated from Makkah to Madina in 621 according to Gregorian calendar. (Islamic Calendar has  been started from the time of the Migration (Hijrat) of Holy Prophet Muhammad according to Gregorian Calendar it was year of 621).

 (Era is  not so authentic)

 Prophet Ibrahim had two sons (Ismaeel, Is-haaq). Yaqoob (Jacob, Israel) was son of Is-haaq. All of them were Prophets of Allah. Descendants of Israel (Jacob) were called Banee-Israeel (Sons of Yaqub). In the Family of Israeel (Yaqoob, Jacob) Allah sent many Prophets Including Yousuf (Joseph), Moosa (Moses), Dawood (David) , Sulaiman (Solomon), Zakariyya, Yahya (John) and Eesaa (Jesus).But in the Family of Ismaeel (among the sons of Ismaeel) Allah sent only one Prophet, this was Hadhrat Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him after thousands of year of Hadhrat Ismaeel. Keep in mind Ismaeel was uncle of Yaqoob(Israeel, Jacob).

Hajj (pilgrimage)

The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca and the largest gathering of Muslim people in the world every year. It is one of the five pillars of Islam, and a religious duty which must be carried out by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so at least once in his or her lifetime. The Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to Allah. The word Hajj means “to intend a journey”.The pilgrimage occurs from the 8th to 12th Zul-Hajj, the 12th and last month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, eleven days shorter than the Gregorian calendar used in the Western world, the Gregorian date of the Hajj changes from year to year. The Hajj is associated with the life of the Prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Ibrahim (Abraham). Pilgrims join processions of hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals:ـ

Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times around the Ka'aba, the cube-shaped building which acts as the Muslim direction of prayer, runs back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drinks from the Zamzam Well, goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, and throws stones in a ritual Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the three day global festival of Eid al-Adha.

Tomb of Holy Prophet Muhammad adjacent with his Masjid (Mosque) in Holy City of Madina of Saudi Arabia, at the distance of 320 Kilometers from Makkah City.

Eid-ul-Adha:

Eid al-Adha is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet حَضْرَتْ Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son حَضْرَتْ اِسْمَاعِیْلIsmail (Ishmael) as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Hadhrat Ibrahim with a Lamb to sacrifice instead.

Al-Quran:_                                

 [Saffat 37:102] And when he became capable of working with him, Ibrahim said, “O my son, I dreamt that I am sacrificing you - therefore now consider what is your opinion”; he said, “O my father! Do what you are commanded! Allah willing, you will soon find me patiently enduring!”

[Saffat 37:103] Then (remember) when they both submitted to Allah’s command, and Ibrahim lay his son facing downwards.

(The knife did not hurt Ismail حَضْرَتْ اِسْمَاعِیْل)

[Saffat 37:104] And We called out to him, “O Ibrahim!”

[Saffat 37:105] “You have indeed made the dream come true”; and this is how We reward the virtuous.

[Saffat 37:106] Indeed this was a clear test.

[Saffat 37:107] And We rescued him in exchange of a great sacrifice.

(The sacrifice of Ibrahim and Ismail – peace be upon them – is commemorated every year on 10,11 and 12 Zil Haj).

In the lunar Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Zul-Hijjah(Zil Haj) and lasts for four days. In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year. Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr.

Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah, Speech). Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hajj from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca.Ritual observance of the holiday lasts until sunset of the 12th day of Zul-Hijjah. Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of Zul-Hijjah(Zil Haj). The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith (Sayings of Holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him) as "days of remembrance".

The days of Tashreeq are from the Fajr (Dawn) prayer of the 9th of Zul Hijjah(Zil Haj) up to the Asr prayer of the 13th of Zul Hijjah (5 days and 4 nights). This equals 23 prayers: 5 on the 9th-12th, which equal 20, and 3 on the 13^th. In these 5 days after these 23 Prayers every Muslim (Whereever he lives, it does not matter) should read loudly, the following Pray.

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Laa ilaa ha illallaa hu wallaahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahil hamd.
