Salaam alaykum, For the Thaqalayn Library project, I have spent the last few months translating the Amali of Shaykh al-Saduq. On the occasion of Amir al-Mu'minin's birth anniversary, I would like to share some of the sayings attributed to him in this book. Many of these sayings have not been translated into English before. Please keep me in your du`a'! - حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن الهيثم بن أبي مسروق النهدي، عن الحسين بن علوان، عن عمرو بن ثابت، عن أبيه، عن سعد بن طريف، عن الاصبغ بن نباتة، قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) ذات يوم على منبر الكوفة: أنا سيد الوصيين، ووصي سيد النبيين، أنا إمام المسلمين، وقائد المتقين، ومولى (3) الم…

Salam , I've been thinking is there a way to ask the guards who guard the graves of the Imams (عليه السلام) to let us go near them . I've seen on Instagram some people who broke the gate and quickly went and touched all five graves and got some samples of dust . Could there be a way to bribe these Kafirs to let us go and sit next to our Beloved Imams (عليه السلام) ?

Salaam everybody: Here's an opportunity to increase blessings throughout this community and throughout the whole world.

All members are encouraged to post the salawat as often as they like, English or Arabic (but only once per post please) 2. Like as ma…

“We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!” (15:8) Is it: because if the angels would be sent down and made visible to the disbelievers they would consider them mere humans and thus incur the wrath of God? because there would be no doubt in the truth of Islam as the disbelievers have seen the unseen and thus shall be given no respite (like Pharaoh in his moment of death? For this option, I would say how does this differ from miracles (like moon splitting)? Is it that miracles still leave some shubuhāt in the heart of the person and thus faith is still required? another optio…

The video says that HSPs are 15-20% of population. I can relate to most of the things described in this video but I cannot find anyone in real life who is also HSP. So where are all the HSPs hiding? I get irritated by even sunlight on a sunny day and I used to wear perfume for years but now I cannot stand its smell. I have also noticed that when I spend too much time around people, my brain gets over-stimulated and I sometimes get excited without any reason. And yes, when I am around people, I get all these feelings which I cannot explain, as soon as I am alone, all those feelings are gone. I do over-analyze everything people say to me and I have trouble saying no to peop…

Can a male do tayammum instead of ghusl ?, if he cant do ghusl because he has an masturbation addiction, and he needs to uncover his private parts to do ghusl. And whenever he uncovers them he gets strong urges to masturbate, and he is trying to beat this addiction, and its very very hard for him to control and he nearly always ends up masturbating. So can he do tayammum instead of ghusl to pray salah ?

Salam, I've thought a lot of starting a podcast. There are few Islamic podcasts out there and most tend to be structured like a panel discussion which is good for touching a topic from multiple perspectives, but harder to get into really deep. My idea is a bit more raw: take a topic, grab a mic and start diving into it layer after layer and go as deep as I can. I've listened to some historical podcasts that can talk up to 8 hours on a single episode about some historical event!! That really inspired me. For example in one episode to explain a death sentence in France during the 18th century the historian went several hundred years back in his narrative. Now my idea i…

As salaamu alaikum. Alhamdulillah, thaqalayn.net have translated and uploaded various important works on their website including some volumes of Kitab al Kafi. The second volume includes the Book of Supplications in which one may find various supplications taught by the prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) and the ahlulbayt (عليه السلام). InshaAllah I will regularly post a few of these in this thread. Those who are interested in reading further can refer to the following link inshaAllah

Salam alaikum, Some of youse may have already read this and some of youse may have not (including myself although I have just read it today). https://www.al-islam.org/ghurar-al-hikam-wa-durar-al-kalim-exalted-aphorisms-and-pearls-speech/believer These are the guidelines of Ameer al Mo'mineen (عليه السلام) when it comes to a believer. Unfortunately after reading this, it made me realise that the vast majority of Muslims (mainly Shia Muslims, and in this case including myself), are not true believers, therefore only Muslim by name. Even when they say they believe in Allah and the Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام), there are alot of things they do which go out of …

I would like to get some counter arguments to this idea... If we look at the number of religions, and then sects, and then sects withing sects, we can conclude that most religious or believing people are wrong about their own beliefs. And the reason many are wrong about their beliefs is because there is some error in thinking, they are normally unable use correct logic for whatever reason. Thus we can conclude that most believers have faulty logic on average as almost all religions/sects are wrong or go about contradicting each other... so the question is, as believers we are all part of this and it implies most of us have faulty logic? how can we…

Hello everyone. This might sound a bit weird but I've been spending the last 7 months studying for 5+ hours on my computer and I got a bit burned out because there seems to be nothing to add to my life aside from programming and computer science. Since I'm a new revert to Islam, I'm trying to leave a lot of things that filled my time in the past (Porn, songs & music, social media etc) and this left me with a void that I feel must be filled with something. I'm trying to get a hobby that could be practiced without the need to use a screen and I limited my choices to only 3: Writing Drawing Learning a language (Japanese or Spanish)…

Salam, does being in a state of Wudhu make it easier for you to receive Allah's Mercy and Blessings?

Salam, today I flipped to a random page in the Quran for some guidance and arrived at the Ayah where it talks about Wudhu. I interpret this as Allah wanting me to be in a state of Wudhu more and was wondering if being in that state affects how you receive His Mercy. I would appreciate it if somebody more knowledgeable could educate me.

Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah and Imam Mahdi (AS)
by Guest MexicanVato- 0 replies
- 19 views
as-salaamu alaikum, I was reading about some Shias that believed Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah went into occultation. I have seen some of our Zaydi brothers use this as proof that 12ers later on took up the concept of occultation. Is there a reason why people thought ibn al-Hanafiyyah would go into occultation? I also read that it took centuries for some Shias to arrive at 12 Imams. This has caused some confusion. Thanks

Salaam, I want to ask you guys some questions regarding some personnalities and the concept of messianism and eschatology, because to be honest, I am really confused and would like some clarifications from some of you who really understand this. My questions are: 1) What is the definition of "the Messiah" and does it mean the same thing as "saviour and awaited guide of humanity" ? 2) Was Jesus (عليه السلام) the Messiah ? Because from what I know the Qur'an calls him "al-Masih" (Messiah in Arabic). 3) Was Jesus (عليه السلام) the Messiah for the Jews only or for all nations ? 4) Can there be more than one Messiah, or is that title reserved to one in…

Tulsi Gabbard calls out the US dirty war on Syria that Biden, aides admit to AARON MATÉ·MARCH 5, 2021 As Tulsi Gabbard criticizes former Congressional colleagues for ignoring the ongoing US dirty war and sanctions on Syria, a look at the comments of Joe Biden and top aides show that they have admitted to the same underlying, horrific facts. Gabbard only stands apart — and is even vilified — for being willing to call it out. While Joe Biden has faced some mild Congressional pushback for bombing the Iraq-Syria border, Tulsi Gabbard says her former colleagues are ignoring the larger issue: the US ongoing dirty war on Syria. After a decade of proxy warfare that empowered Al Qaeda and ISIS, the US is now occupying one-third of Syria and imposing crippling sanctions that are crushing Syria’s economy and preventing reconstruction. While Gabbard has been vilified for her stance on Syria, many top White House officials — including Joe Biden himself — have already acknowledged the same facts that she has called out. Aaron Maté plays clips of Biden and some of his most senior aides admitting to the horrific realities of the US dirty war on Syria, and argues that Gabbard only stands apart in being wiling to criticize it.

I joke, but it recently dawned on me that most likely (statistically speaking) I'll be marrying out of my race and culture and I don't know what to make of that tbh. I like to think I don't care about (non-Islamic) traditions but like, it's nicer if things are easy I don't know. Inshallah I'll figure it out.
