𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮ḥw 𝘂𝗹-𝗔𝗿ḍ?

Daḥw ul-Arḍ (دَحوُ الأرض) translates to “spreading of the Earth” and refers to the day when Allah (swt) caused land to rise above the water, beginning from where the Kaʿbah is now situated. On this day, Allah (swt) transformed the Earth into a planet that could sustain advanced life for the advantage of human beings. It is mentioned in the Noble Qurʾān in the following verse:

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيْمِ

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

And the Earth, too, He spread out

[Noble Qurʾān, Sūrah an-Nāziʿāt (79), Verse 30]

Birth Anniverary of Lady Fāṭimah bint Asad, Mother of Imām ʿAlī ibn Abū Ṭālib (ʿa)

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيْمِ
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد و عَجِّل فَرَجَهُم

Our felicitations to the 12th Imām (ʿaj) and to all of you on the Wilādah of Lady Fāṭimah bint Asad, Mother of Imām ʿAlī ibn Abū Ṭālib (ʿa)

The Noble Prophet Muḥammad (ṣ) about Lady Fāṭimah bint Asad:
Apart from Abu Talib (a), she treated me best. She was my other mother after my own mother. Abu Talib (a) benevolently prepared the food and Fatima gathered us for this food; she gave me a larger share of all foods so that I might return to their home again.
