It is reported by numerous narrators that as the Mother of Ali (as) reached the Kaaba, she reclined against its southern wall and became engrossed in prayers. As Fatima bint Asad prayed, she herself was engulfed in a light that emitted from the luminous essence in her womb. Soon the atmosphere surrounding her and the Kaaba was aglow…. Then this light emanating from her womb shone upon the wall o…f the Kaaba and the wall cracked itself open. Fatima heard a voice asking her to enter the Kaaba through this novel opening. And so she did. The moment she was in, the crack in the wall closed and returned to its former state. Having said this, the crack remained visible, as if a smile had been sculpted on the wall of the Kaaba for eternity.
Ali (a) in Me’raj (the Ascension)
The Prophet (s) declared that when he performed the Ascension (Me’raj), the angels inquired very particularly about Ali (as). “When I arrived,” he continued, “at the fourth heaven, I saw the angel of death, who said that it was his office to take the soul of every creature by God’s command; ‘but in the case of you and Ali (as), I will have to take your consent.’
When I came under the empyrean, I saw Ali ibn Abu Talib (as) standing there, and said to him, ‘O Ali have you got there before me?’
‘Whom are you addressing,’ asked Gabriel.
‘My brother,’ I replied.
‘This is not Ali (as),’ said he, ‘but an angel of the Merciful God, whom he created in the likeness of Ali (as) and when those of us privileged to approach near the Deity wish to behold Ali (as), we visit this angel.”
And so Jesus (as) and Moses (as) and Abraham (as) all inquired about Ali (as) and congratulated Muhammad (s) on having left so good a Caliph in his place.
The Apostle further related, “On the night of Me’raj, on every one of the curtains of light and on every one of the pillars of the empyrean to which I came, I saw written there is no God but Allah, Muhammad (s) is the Apostle of God, and Ali ibn Abu Talib (as) is the commander of the Faithful.”

Happy Birthday to Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)
Happy birthday to he whose rank is incomprehendable, whose splendor is magnanimous, and whose piety is unattainable.
Happy birthday to the beloved of Rasul Allah (s).
Happy birthday to the father of Sayyidul Shabab-e-Ahlul Jannah (a).
Happy birthday to the righteous husband of Fatima Zahra (s)
Happy birthday to the only being born inside of the Holy Kaaba.
May my parents and my life be sacrificed for you, o Amir ul-Mo’mineen. Although I am not worthy, I pray that I can be part of your true Shi’a.
Congratulations to the world, all my fellow believers, and especially Imam al-Asr (a) on this momentous occasion!
Ayyaam-e-Baydh - The Luminous Days
The 13th, 14th, and 15th days of the months of Rajab, Shaban, and Ramadan are known as Ayyam-e-Baydh, or the days of light.
According to Imam Sadiq (as), “Whoso prays during the nights of Ayyam Bayz, in fact, stands at the door of superabundant favours, bounties, and benefits available in these months.”
It is highly recommended to fast, do ghusl, and give alms on these three days, as well as complete other recommended aamaal.
"The moment a believer prays for my reappearance in that same moment I raise my hands and ask Allah to grant his/her requests and safeguard him/her."
— Imam Mahdi (AJ)

I always find it so ironic how some Muslims begin their weddings by reciting Quran/Hadith-e-Kisa, and then proceed to do a ton of haram stuff.
