The College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Karbala — represented by its Dean, Professor Dr. Muhammad Hussein Abboud Al-Taie, along with its faculty members, staff, and students — extends its heartfelt congratulations and blessed greetings, perfumed with the jasmine of the lights of divine blessings, to the Awaited Savior (may Allah hasten his reappearance), our esteemed religious authorities, and the entire Islamic nation on the joyous occasion of the marriage of the two lights: Imam Ali and Lady Fatima (peace be upon them).

“The Prophet came to the Pure One with glad tidings:
‘O Zahra, would you be pleased with Haidar as your groom?’
She melted in modesty, lowering her head —
The Prophet rejoiced and called out the takbeer instead.
She accepted, and in eternity her roses bloom —
Let us send salawat in joy and draw nearer to our doom.”

May this blessed union continue to inspire love, purity, and unity across generations.
