Celebrating the Birth of Imam Ali (peace be upon him)
 Although the actual completion of the faith of Islam took place on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah on the plains of Ghadeer, its spiritual completion took place in the month of Rajab with the birth of Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be upon him). Being a true monotheist and one whose parents had never even bowed down to the statues present in the Ka'bah, when the official message of Islam came to the Prophet of Islam in the cave of Hira, there was no need for Ali to 'convert' or 'accept Islam'!. . .
Ali: The Continuation of the Prophet's Legacy
 Understanding the importance of Ali for Muslims will help give a clearer picture of Islam, which is one of the world's largest and fastest-growing religions. Ali's very message builds bridges of understanding, and replaces mis-trust with friendship.
Prophet Muhammad, joined by his daughter Fatima, his son-in-law Ali, and his grandchildren Hasan and Husain (Peace Be Upon Them), embarked upon a journey to bring peace, harmony, and friendship to the world. . .
Islamize your iDevice!By Basim Ali
Do you own an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad? Well, you might as well use it for a more Islamically constructive purpose, if you do (no point in it being an 'iDevice' if you use it like any other device now, is there?).
Being an iPhone user myself for several months now, I've come across some incredibly useful Islamic apps. So I thought of making a list of all the English, Islamic (most of them Shia) apps I've come across and use regularly, for everyone to benefit from (don't worry, I've only included the ones which are free!).
iQuran Lite http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iquran-lite/id285944183?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad - Requires iOS 3.0 +
alQuran http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alquran/id314099174?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad - Requires iOS 3.0 +
Al Mus’haf http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id328962407?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - Requires iOS 3.0 + Has the Arabic only.
Qur'an Majeed Lite http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quran-majeed-lite/id365557665?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. - Requires iOS 3.0 +

Each verse is first recited in Arabic followed by its translation in English. (note: you may find more than one version of this app; they are either the exact same app or just in a different language)
alQibla http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alqibla/id322401779?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad - Requires iOS 3.0 + I would say this is one of my personal favorites. Why? It offers Adhan alerts (Imami timings) AND gives you the Qibla direction. From what I've experienced, the timings as well as the direction of the Qibla it shows are extremely accurate (as long as you're connected to the internet).
Muslim Pro http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/muslim-pro-azan-and-holy-quran/id388389451?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad - Requires iOS 3.0 + Same as above, with a couple of extra features.

iQamos lite http://itunes.apple.com/ae/app/iqamos/id334546915?mt=8 - Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - Requires iOS 3.2 + Same as above, except probably with a richer vocabulary. I like keeping both of them.

These would be pretty much all of the ones I could find. You can also find some good Shia podcasts in iTunes library. Also, there are loads of free apps available with Halal food guides. I haven't really used any of these, and don't really know how reliable they are, so if you choose to use any of them please make sure they're dependable, first. Additionally, to read (and save) pdf files like e-books use the iBooks ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8 ) app.
Finally, another tip I'd like to share is that if you have a JailBroken iPhone, you might want to get this 'Package' or app called 'MxTube'. Just go to 'Cydia' ? Search ? type in 'MxTube' ? download it. This app is one designed to download YouTube videos so that you can view them when you're not connected to the Internet. Now you can download all the Qur'an, duas, lectures, etc. you want from YouTube directly. Source: IQRA Online
