I'm asking because this is taking place in Asia, where the plague is said to ravage. It's said that the plague will not be taken as seriously as it should, so it will basically demolish Asia. At this point, we aren't really afraid of plagues anymore. After Ebola, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Mad Cow Disease, Zika, we're just not scared anymore. We "know" that this Corona Virus won't reach us, that it will be resolved in a year MAX, that only a couple hundred will perish from it. It's this arrogance that will let the White Death destroy 1/3 of humanity. Though it's possible that Asia will overcome this plague, then in their complacency, fall to the next one. Would love to he…

I have a theory about the development and testing of the corona virus based on my personal experience a decade ago. I was alarmed then and am embarassed now to have said nothing before. I attended a conference sponsored by the WHO in Nice, France, gathering geriatricians from all over the world, basically to get them to endorse long-term-care facilities being built in third-world countries, and in China, where individuals who had dementia, or even genetic markers that predisposed them to getting dementia, would be involuntarily housed. (It was noted that these individuals place the greatest burden on a productive society.) These large facilities would be human testing sit…

The World Health Organization defines Infertility as, "Infertility and subfertility affect a significant proportion of humanity. WHO has calculated that over 10% of women are inflicted – women who have tried unsuccessfully, and have remained in a stable relationship for five years or more. Estimates in women using a two year time frame, result in prevalence values 2.5 times larger. " The map below shows how different countries are impacted by this disease across the world. Obviously, included in these numbers are Muslims. So then the question is how should Muslims and specifically Shia Muslims deal with this disease? Fortunately with the advancement of…

Excellent article by bro Ali Imran on Iqra Online WHAT Islamic MEDICINE? Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, proponents of the so-called Ṭibb Islāmī (Islamic medicine – not to be confused with “traditional” medicine) have been actively using it as an opportunity to propagate their misinformation. Just a couple of days ago a certain proponent of Ṭibb Islāmī by the name of Taqīniyā1 interrupted a meeting of officials held in Qom dealing with the current crisis, acknowledging he was not invited, and forcefully entered the meeting. He is apparently a student of ‘Abbās Tabrīziyān, the supposed “father of Islamic medicine” in Iran, and a man who has been …

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. i have always been someone who always over thinks. Always day dreamed back in school and always lose focus. I know I must control my thought especially during salat. I try my best I really do then I end up thinking of random things or work etc. I want to maximise my khushoo in salat and I know mabye sinning is affecting this. I always think of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) in or out of salat but I never want to lose focus and it’s stressing me out because my whole life I overthink things. What should I do how can I improve myself?

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

The above is a quote from Richard Dawkins. How can that be true when we have observed the earth revolve around the sun but we have not observed macro-evolution? Macro-evolution is probabilistic and based on assumptions. Plus there is a hadith that there were 1000s of Adams so that explains the existence of Neanderthals and other species.

I've done the keto diet twice so far for about 2-3 months each time and its really helped me lose weight, clear my mind, and my skin as well. It also helps majorly with bloating and when I'm on the diet I don't tend to experience my usual bloating and discomfort after eating (could be a gluten issue though). I started it again yesterday, so this will be my third cycle of it. Has anyone else here done the Keto diet, how have you found it and what foods/recipes do you like having. I need some inspiration and motivation. I'm in love with Godiva 90% dark chocolate and it's truly a God-send when I'm on keto because I LOOOOVE my chocolate and its only 1…

Salam I can successfully resist most urges; I can resist hunger, lust, thirst, bad habits. But I am completely helpless against drowsiness. With the other urges, you win when you don't do anything, with fatigue you lose if you don't do anything. I used to think it was because I didn't have much going on in my life, but when I finally had engagements to occupy myself with, it still didn't fix the problem. I can wake up early and get out of bed, but at that point it's like my iman and willpower are cut in 1/4th, I stop caring. I don't care if I'm late for work, I don't care if I'll miss salat, when I'm drowsy the only thing I want to do is sleep. There have been times …

Salam I have been thinking about a number of things. Firstly, why does no scholar talk about several very important subjects? Ill list a few: 1. Fiat Currency: it is common knowledge at this point in time that it is a worthless piece of paper, perhaps a legal fiction accepted as a token or somesuch. Isn't this satanic? How does the Qur'an approve of us using this currency? Didn't the Ahlul Bayt warn us against this? 1A. Since this is haram, why is no one moving to destroy it and to return to a fair and equitable exchange backed by gold and silver? Why is there silence and lack of explanations on these major secular inventions? Is not gold and silv…

Salam Alaikum, I was starting this discussion with a brother in another thread, and instead of derailing that thread, I started this one. So I have briefly read whatever scientific material we have online, and the main arguments for it not being man-made, are 1. People predicting that a coronavirus from bats might transfer to humans (as outlined in this thread) 2. It can't be human made, because the DNA shows the 'backbone' of the virus isn't based on known human attacking viruses. I found this here! I think the above contradict each other. And people predicting, could be part of the plan, even if they are people based in Wuhan. Afte…

There is Shia Hadith that compares yellow sandal with black ones. "Narrated to us my father saying: Narrated Ahmad bin Idris saying: Narrated to me Muhammad bin Ahmad, from Musa bin Omar, from Abdallah bin Jablah, from Hanan bin Sudair who said: I entered on Abu Abdallah [as] wearing a black shoe, and he said: Why are you wearing a black shoe? Did you not know there are three characteristics in it? The narrator said: I said, what are they, may I be your ransom? He [as] said: It weakens your vision, loosens your penis and brings you depression. On top of that, it is part of the arrogant apparel. Wear the yellow shoes, for in it is three characteristics. The…

Do you think that it's possible that the Dajjal would be some sort of AI entity at the height of technology rather than a human being? Since we've seen that not only capital but also data has been concentrated and in the hands of small group of elitists, wouldn't it be possible that they would then use their resources to reach their little transhumanist project by building some sort of "perfect" human being.

Hi Guest OnPoint, Quote from your post: To make it even further clear and no doubt that Jews and Christians are not to judge by their religion and that they aren't allowed to, it says, believers not to take the Christians and Jews as authorities as some of them are that to each other. What is meant by authorities is not political here, it means, regarding the Torah and Gospels and laws, and God's moral judgement not to take Christians and Jews as an authority to what it says in those books. In response, I had quoted 'what it says in the Books,' --- it says in Surah 5:44 It was We (God) who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was ‘guidance and light.’ 5:46 And in their footsteps We (God) sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was ‘guidance and light,’ The two things I mentioned as the core teaching of the Torah is the Ten Commandments. --- And for the Gospels, the first part of ‘The Sermon on the Mount,’ which continues for 3 chapters. --- I could show you one thing that Jesus corrected in the Pharisees’ teaching of the commandment on love, in Matthew 5:20 Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ --- 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” --- There is no place in the Torah that says you should ‘hate your enemy.’ But that is what had been taught, which allowed the Pharisees to ‘hate’ who, or what, they didn’t like, and this also would allow neighbors who had a disagreement, to ‘hate’ one another. --- Consider how the Pharisees hated Jesus, and later the disciples. Jesus said, Love your enemies or adversaries, and love your neighbors. --- When Jesus was asked by a lawyer “Which was the Great Commandment?” He answered in Matthew 22:37 “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” --- And this too is 'written in the Book' and is meant for Christians to live by. -
You are now in the life you have because of different reasons: your parents decisions, help or not help by relatives, injustice done to you, choice(s) you made yourself, random events you have no control over, etc. It would be haram to make a clone live your life so you could get away. That is pure fantasy. Make better choices, live your life in a meaningful way, ask Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to help you, make duas, remember the Ahlul Bayt AS. Pray. A lot. You can do this. Do the best you can. -
Hi Abdul-Hadi, Quote from your post: How would you account for the writings of Paul who turned Jesus ((عليه السلام)) into a divine figure or are these not what are counted as the scriptures in Islam? What I mean by this is, is only the actual teachings of Jesus ((عليه السلام)) like the Sermon on the Mount and the red letters of the Gospels rather than the entirety of the four gospels themselves? I come out of a Christian family background, so I'm used to the entirety of the Bible (old and new testaments as per the Ukrainian Orthodox church) being treated as the "inspired word of God ((سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى))" This assumption that Paul exalted Jesus is not correct. Jesus was human, but without sin, so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. --- Something to notice since you are familiar with the New Testament is that in the Gospels the name is written, 'Jesus Christ,’ and the focus was on Jesus, as He is the one who could be seen. But Christ spoke the wisdom of God through Him, in the same way that the Holy Spirit can speak through some Christians today. --- However, After the crucifixion the names changed, as Jesus went to heaven to become a High priest, ‘After the order of Melchizedek,’ as it says in Hebrews 7:20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’”). 22 By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He (Jesus), because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. In the letters of Paul you will notice that after he gives a greeting in the name of Jesus Christ he quickly changes to Christ Jesus, or Christ alone. --- Because it was Christ who came down from heaven to ‘indwell’ Jesus, as the Holy Spirit indwells some Christians today. --- But when Jesus went to heaven the emphasis was on Christ. --- Jesus was born to be our Savior. --- But Christ was sent to be our Redeemer, and the King of the Jews, through whom the Gospel was given. Are you familiar with Paul’s writing in 1 Corinthians 15? --- 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas (Peter), then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep (in death). And it continues in 21 “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all (believers) shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He (Christ) must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. --- 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son (Christ) Himself will also be subject to Him (God the Father) who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.” --- Where was Jesus? He was already in His permanent position in heaven as the High Priest in the heavenly Sanctuary, there to make intercession for us. Hebrews 8:1-2. Check it all out and let me know what you discover.
