The Holy Quran mentions about the Racism: O mankind! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female and made you nations and tribes that you may identify yourselves with one another. Indeed, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God wary among you. Indeed, Allah is all-knowing, all-aware (49:13). "The issue of equality between all human beings, opposition to any type of racial, ancestral and class discrimination, fairness between all the children of Adam in relation to human rights and that no person is better than another due to his skin color, language, lineage or race - is one of the most important societal issues in the Qur’an which has been me…

Duas and ziyaras can be very emotional and sad. the ziyarah I take this line from Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa “But as I have been hindered by the course of time, and (Allah’s) decree has prevented me from helping you, and as I could not fight those who fought you, and was not able to show hostility to those who showed hostility to you, I will, therefore, lament you morning and evening, and will weep blood in place of tears, out of my anguish for you and my sorrow for all that befell you, until I meet death from the pain of the catastrophe and the choking grief.…” —Imam al-Mahdi ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) …

Things we can do for the afterlife

Salaam! I am growing disillusioned of this world and thinking about all the hard work I put in for my business, day and night, but it doesn’t benefit me in the Aakhirah. What are some things I can do that will benefit me and my marhoomeen in the afterlife? My husband is the breadwinner, so our life doesn’t depend on my business. I want to gradually reduce taking on too much work, and rather put in that time gaining Thawaab and Brownie points for Barzakh and the actual forever life. I’d appreciate any suggestions and advice please. JazakAllah Khairun

Salam Alaikum. Is pre-ejeculation considered impure?d This article says that pre-ejeculation can lead into sperm leaking into it. https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sex/can-you-get-pregnant-from-precum Sayid sistani considers pre-ejaculation pure. But how do I know if I experience pre-ejaculation that there's no sperm cells leaking? Wa alaikum assalam. Question: Is precum impure? Precum is the pre-ejaculate fluid. Answer: No, it is pure (Tahir).'

Salam alakum, I have posted before about my difficulty in finding a Shia male spouse. I haven’t even come close to finding somebody so I would appreciate that for this post you do not advice me to do this as I know this is the ideal scenario/ options. I would like to know your experiences of meeting and marrying somebody Sunni. How did you navigate the process. Is there anything you’ve learnt or what would you do differently? I would rather you share your own personal experiences or those of somebody you are genuinely close to. I’d just like to say I am in two minds about whether marrying a Sunni would be a realistic option for me but I do want to be open minde…

Different modes and levels of Quran.

There is a state of Quran, where it's not even trying to convince a human that God exists even though there are clear proofs in Quran for that and clear reminders proving he exists. There is a state of Quran where it's not even trying to prove if God exists he would've sent Messengers although there is many proofs for that.There is indeed a state of Quran that all it is asking, and at a stage Mohammad (s) as well with the Quran, was just asking nothing but this, is to simply consider it POSSIBLE that Mohammad (s) is on a clear proof, consider possible, that it is true, and along side that if it is possible, to act on some conditions of it (like reflecting over it's verse,…

Salam, For God to be known and worshipped, the presence of the knowers and worshippers is necessary. Without the created beings, God's names and attributes would either be irrelevant or useless. Without the created beings God couldn't "do" anything. Everything that God is or does is meaningful only in relation to the created beings/things. We often ask, why did God create. However, a better, more fundamental question would be, based on everything we know about God, could God not have created the cosmos and things? In other words, did God have a choice to create or not to create things? If He did not have a choice, then it would not make sense to as…

Salam o alaikum people, this is my story, and I need urgent help. I am a boy, a boy who was not a firm follower of Islam, but after watching some documentaries on Ayatollah Behjat, I decided to transform myself to a better human and decided not to sin for forty days. And believe me a person who never prayed salat, was now performing nafils along with tahajjud every night without commiting any sin (in my opinion). Till 28 days passed, I felt my spirituality going up to a new level, I never experienced before. But, on the 29 day, a very satanic thought regarding Ahlebait (عليه السلام) came to my mind which I could not stop and due to those thoughts due to depression I …

Scripting/ shifting realities
by Guest spiritual- 1 follower

Who has ever tried to shift realities? Recently I saw a lot of videos of people who have shifted realities through different methods and scripting. It's not like lucid dreaming, but you're actually shifting realities. When you're in your desired reality (like for example a lot of people have shifted to hogwarts) you have an actual life and everything, and in the meantime a clone will take over your body in real life. Does this sound real? Because I really want to try it, but I don't know if it's haram or dangerous. Let me know what you guys think.

There are some Khums b/m/illionaires out there who wear very simple/broken clothing on the outside yet there's evidence of hoarding given the very poor conditions of the people whom Khums is suppose to go to. They also don't give any statements of how they spend Khums. There are also Shi'a Caviar and Oil b/m/illionaires out there who again wear very simple/broken clothing and spend all this money on other things rather than poor people who are dying on the streets. Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) knows best.

The fact that they put Halloween decorations up doesn't forbid you from shopping there. You can confirm this with any scholar. -

OPINE: Since the evilgelicals misuse the cliche "higher power" on a continuing basis, l have an unease about using this in lslam. al-Qadeer -(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). has the triliteral root qaf dal ra which occurs 132 times in Quran. As Allah-(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). is an active 'determiner'/'decider' in all things, and the verb form of this triliteral in Quran is rendered 'control', 'overpower', 'appraise', 'decrees', 'restricts', 'predestines', 'determines', 'measures', 'is able'; and in nominal noun "All Powerful". The illusion that "power" is like some kind of electrical generation, gravitational or, blasphemously, mythological is completely wrong. When Quran reveals "all things" it means all things. A second thing wrong is the word "higher'. The God of Noah -(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). is, as Quran reveals, closer to us than our jugular (Ayat 50:16) and He -(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). is Witness to All Things. He -(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). is not displaced in another location.

First things first, Islam is not supposed to be a burden. At least that's what I was told by brothers and sisters on this very forum. I don't shop at halal stores because there aren't any around me; the closest one would be up in the major city like 40 miles away. So to remedy that and accommodate my mother's dietary choices, I just don't eat meat often (maybe less than once a month) or drink alcohol (I quit drinking long before I had arrived at Islam). More often than not, I just eat vegetarian meals (lots of beans and pasta and rice. I also eat eggs and dairy). I don't eat things with pork-based flavoring (such as pork ramen or baked beans with bacon flavoring) Besides, most of the people where I live are Christians and the food of the People of the Book isn't haram. Grocery stores in Florida sell beer and wine, but I know for a fact that I'm not the only Muslim that does his shopping there because I've seen the other Muslims I know shopping there-- the simple solution is to simply not buy or drink any alcohol, and check your more processed foods to make sure there are no pork-derived flavorings in it. Halal is starting to be treated in the same way that Kosher certification is (you can check foods for a Halal certification marking and more of them are having one as time goes on) -
