Dear Friends:

Assalam Alaikum

It is my distinct pleasure and honor to congratulate you on the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (as), our 1st Imam.

It could not have come at a better time when alhamdulillah, all the hostilities at his shrine have come to an end and it has been opened for ziayareen. It is the vision of our Maraje Ulama who have brought this peaceful resolution. UMAA will always follow the guidance of all the Maraje and seek their advice.

Wa Alaikum Assalam
