    COVID-19 - Breaking News [OFFICIAL THREAD] 1 2 3 4 57

    by Guest window

    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…

    Plastic Pollution 1 2

    Assalamallikum, Plastic pollution is a real problem. Plastic straws are currently the 'popular' topic, but I can remember my first plastic straw, in a restaurant, in grade school. Everyone at the table wanted to try one because they were new, and all thought they were/are better than the waxed paper we always had. So we can go back to paper straws, which also had a 'bendy' version. Paper bags for shopping I also grew up with, and you had to be careful they did not rip, but were good to use. So what else can we do to eliminate plastic problems?

    Now, if you ain't heared yet, tonight we all have to jump our clocks ahead one hour. Sunday will be "early daylight savings time". Who thinks of this waste of time. Changing clocks, ruining sleep patterns, and such. According to a program a couple of years ago, it is the shopping centers that are responsible. Yep! They want people to come in a shop. They think people do not like to shop at night. Dummies. Don't they look around at christmas time. A whole lotta people shop in the dark then. And in the cold, too. No what I propose is an alternative to both daylight time and meridian time or any other artificial time. I say we go to SU…

    by MartyS

    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…

    Infertility - Global Public Health Issue

    by ShiaMan14

    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 …

    Controlling the Mind

    by Ali2196

    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?

    Monty Hall problem

    by shadow_of_light

    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?

    “EVOLUTION AS TRUE AS THE EARTH REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN” !!?????

    by 313_Waiter

    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.

    Keto diet

    by esotericsoul

    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…

    I struggle with resisting fatigue, does anyone have any advice for me?

    by Guest mt everest

    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…
