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…

A reminder that is SHIAchat, not CONSPIRACYchat or HATEGAYSchat 1 2

I'm seeing a disturbing trend on ShiaChat with the rise in conspiracy theory threads (for COVID-19, 5G, etc), and I urge Mods to clean up the site of these sort of threads, because they are harmful, illogical, and dangerous. The same goes for the rise in LGBTQ hatred, as opposed to simply disagreeing using Quran and Hadith. This is Shiachat, where we should discuss social issues pertaining to Muslims, such as relationship issues, marriage problems, community hypocrisy, and providing community and emotional support, as well as the discussion of Fiqh and the Quran. We are not here to berate and demean and bully people, such as the LGBTQ, some of which are Muslim on this sit…

Could covid-19 be a conspiracy by China? Covid death rate in China is almost zero!! Its economy developed significantly over the past year. It is the top exporter of facial masks and top importer of crude oil (whose price reduced after the start of the outbreak).

Why do Men Really Workout For If They Are Going to Stay Dressed? Salam brothers and sisters, Now I know what you might think or say, "well obviously to stay healthy!". However there are tons of exercises that are out there which doesnt include being in the gym working out your biceps or whatever it is they want to show off. And plus, most of our health is from our diet as we see from the Qur'an and Ahadith. I brought this up because all my friends have started telling to go to the gym and whatnot, but I'd rather at home exercises and tuning up my diet. Lets all be real here, men just want to seduce themselves to women in the gym. This is in fac…

I wanted to buy Vitamins but discovered that a lot of popular and easily accessible Western Vitamin brands are not halal as they use animal sources (as indicated by the companies themselves on their websites). I'm happy to see the shiachat Wilaya halal vitamins advertisement, but if anyone else knows other halal vitamins too then please suggest.

This thread is about quitting gaming. I have recently quit gaming as it has nothing to do with our akhirat and it has nothing to do with Islam. Have you also quit gaming as well?

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…

Here are my symptoms: - Sore throat (no fever, cough, flu-like symptoms) - swollen lymph nodes - hives break-out all over my arms and legs. This is the second day for hives, fourth day of a sore throat. Should I ride this out until the third or fourth day to see if my symptoms worsen or get better? Or should I see my doctor right now?

Assalam Alaikum, Hope you're all well. It's been quite a while since I posted. I've had a crazy year (I'm sure most of us have to some degree or the other). The reason I post is to get some feedback/answers/tips to a couple of problems that have developed in my life over these few months and I'm having major difficulty in addressing them. After a long struggle with my mood/energy/concentration/anxiety levels I was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar 1, I mentioned that here in a thread. Though my treatment has helped certain aspects of my functioning, there's still so much that's missing. I've seen videos, done reading, I am currently also training in psychia…

salam alaikum, I am a Shia muslimah born and raised. I was diagnosed with bipolar in 2015. I had many pressures in my life all at once which led to a massive manic episode. I felt like I had a spiritual experience linked to the 12 Imam atf. There is too much detail to go into but around that time I was told that it wasn’t true but it felt true to me. Anyhow, Im on many medications due to this and would like to reach out to any fellow shia muslims who are also battling this. I suffered a few episodes since then and alhumdulillah I havent suffered for a year and 5 months alhumdulillah. I have a beautiful son now alhumdulillah too which keeps me going. Does anyone…

So in the sequel to the mega hit Disney animated movie frozen, the main character Elsa crosses an ocean at the end of which is a big wall of ice. And entering or maybe crossing it (I didn't pay much attention if it was entering or corssing, was too busy updating my status on social media '#watchingFrozen2') so anyway the wall of ice took the girl to another realm or world. Here are the pictures So just now it occurred to me that one of the theories of flat Earth is that the world is surrounded by a thick huge wall of ice that prevents peoole from falling off. See the eerie similarity?? In your opinion 1.do film makers at disn…

(bismillah) (salam) From: "Istiftaa" istiftaa@wilayah.org Subject: About Vaccination 8762e Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 Question: Your eminence has stated in a previous fatwa that it is obligatory for the father to seek treatment for his child if the child is ill. I seek your guidance and clarification regarding the following: 1. Is it obligatory for the guardian of a child to seek means to prevent illness? For example, physicians recomeend regular visits to a physician prior to any clear illness to detect anemia, cancer, growth problems, or delayed neurologic and intellectual development when it is subtle and early and possibly reversible. 2. There are some dedicate…

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.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02585-6 The largest study1 to date on the genetic basis of sexuality has revealed five spots on the human genome that are linked to same-sex sexual behaviour — but none of the markers are reliable enough to predict someone’s sexuality. The findings, which are published on 29 August in Science and based on the genomes of nearly 500,000 people, shore up the results of earlier, smaller studies and confirm the suspicions of many scientists: while sexual preferences have a genetic component, no single gene has a large effect on sexual behaviours. “There is no ‘gay gene’,” says lead study author Andrea Ganna, a geneticis…

As-salamu alaykum I had surgery a day ago were 4 incisions on my abdomen. I was discharged from hospital late this morning and I haven’t been able to perform obligatory Salah since Fajr the morning of my operation, this due to not being able to bend or move a lot due to stitches and I have a lot of pain. Am I OK for me to miss salah until I can perform it? I’ve been reciting Quran and doing lots of Dikhr.

This twitter thread was created by Christina Pagel - who has been consistently right about CV19 and is my go-to person on the virus. The UK is currently easing controls, but if these two variants take hold, we are back to square one. As a side activity, I've been teaching on a postgraduate course for hospital consultants for the past few years and her colleague's research is on the reading list that I give the doctors.

Assalam Alaikum brothers and sisters, I know a lot of people here are studying and working requiring focus and craving for caffeine (tea/coffee), during the month of Ramadan, and sleepy and out of focus at work. Has anyone tried a Nicotine patch to maintain concentration and focus at study/work during fasting? Will it be addictive for nonsmokers, if someone would use a very small dosage (e.g. 3mg) of nicotine patch while fasting during working days? The patch slowly releases nicotine up to 16 hours, so one patch (or half/quarter) would be enough for a whole working day. P.S. only 25+ years old people are addressed here, as nicotine hinders brain developm…

There has been recent reports of measles outbreak in Samoa and the mainstream news around the world has the story covered. What do you guys think of vaccines? is it something necessary? Should we take them? should our kids take them? Should we take precautions and neglect vaccines to prevent other health related issues that may incur when taken the vaccines. Is it safe to give young kids these type of vaccines which contain harmful ingredients, even if they are small in doses. Has the opinion of the people regarding vaccines become biased because of lobbyist and the power these massive corporations have. What's the Islamic stand when considering …

So you don’t think that American hostility to Iran is at all driven by economics? If so, then why did Iran initially nationalise key sectors of its economy, rather than open up following the ouster of the Shah? Certainly the U.S. has long opposed revolutionary Iran’s support for the Palestinians, but one would think that the U.S. would also wish to regain control of the Iranian economy. If the Iranian economy were fully capitalist, then the West would have already regained control of Iranian resources. By contrast, under the Shah the Iranian economy favoured foreign extraction and concession(s).

Well it depends what type of communism you are referring to. Many of these revolutions were inspired by the USSR, which believed in Leninism, which required a "strong State" to succeed. Maoism and Stalinism were even bigger monsters. -

Well I would say that largely depends on a different side of the mindset of a person, some people like to have everything set in place and in a routine and that works for them, others prefer to take each day as it comes, without so much so as a plan but just getting it done. Furthermore, neither mindset can really be said to be advantageous or "better" as everyone is simply different, the routine will work for some people quite well, for their entire lives even, however other people don't function like this and prefer to be more flexible. Overall I guess what you've mentioned is another topic altogether, whether a couple is set in stone and has a routine or whether there's a freestyle approach, however it does link in with the original point and it could definitely be put down as a 4 option. -
Because of Iran's opposition to Israel, its expansion of the Islamic Revolution beyond its borders, and the position it has taken on opposing Arab regimes, especially ones that are allied with the United States.
