The owner posted some Anti-Shia propaganda on Social Media. Here are some of them before they were taken down. There are more (warning, some have inappropriate language). Anyway, it is obvious from the tweets that this guy is anti-Shia, opening a coffee shop in a city that is probably 70% Shia ? So now he is going on the local media claiming that he is sorry (so he won't lose his business), but IMHO, his motive is obvious, only $$. So I am asking brothers and sisters who live in the area to boycott this business. One of my relatives (by marriage) Zeena Mousawi posted re posted these on twitter after he deleted them or they were taken down (not sure which). You can read h…

Salaam, What European city would you say is the “easiest” to be a practicing Muslim? I live in Switzerland and with the recent burqa/niqab ban and France nearby making more anti-hijab laws I have noticed I get more people staring at me when I’m walking around. Not sure if there is a huge right wing movement everywhere in Europe or if there are still countries that are more leftist. Nothing bad has happened to me, but obviously long term I’d like to live somewhere with people who are more open minded and accepting of other religions. I don’t have a problem at work because once people get to know me they don’t treat me differently from any other person. …

Why is everyone moving to Dearborn?

As we all know, there are Muslim communities everywhere—large ones all over California, huge pockets in Texas, and just about almost anywhere. So it baffles me why so many Muslims would want to move to Dearborn. Looking up some homes, many are poor designed (and are much older and run-down homes) many with small lots. To buy a nice house, you’d have to be on the outskirts of Dearborn in what seems to be more exclusive/secluded communities. And Michigan isn’t exactly known for being as safe as some other states as a whole. Isn’t safety important? To me, and maybe I’m in the minority, the safety of my family is a crucial factor in deciding to move and uproot everythi…

I'm a new here in the capital of Ukraine. I'll be here for a while as I'm studying abroad. I would like to find some mosques to be at, ofc it'd be a bonus if the mosque is run by Shias. I don't have an issue with ordinary Sunni mosques, but as for the wahabi ones, no thanks

Salaam Alaykum I'm SO SO upset and angry for Myanmar issue. Politicians don't do anything, and animals are killing Muslims just FOR BEING MUSLIM. Their only crime is BEING MUSLIM. That female animal who got peace Nobel prize is the worst hateful miserable widow on earth. Muslims in Myanmar are being KILLED, FIRED, TORTURED IN PRISONS, and DISPLACED. They are our brothers and sisters. Those little cute children are our children. Don't forget Myanmar Muslims in your prays. I'm so broken. My heart is full of hatred toward rabid animals.

Aslamoalikum. My question is. I'm traveling to Pakistan from Canada on March 1. I got my covid test done on Friday feb 26. Now according to to rules and regulations. I'm suppose to get tested within 72 hour of my boarding time. Now my concern is. Will my covid19 test be valid by the time I reach airport? My flight departure time is 7:50pm. Before anything I would like to clear one thing I booked appointment for 26 Feb because that was the only time available. The test was paid and I got my negative results. I'm bit worried. They may refuse me to board the flight. And if someone asked me why I'm traveling at this time? I have very important work to take care in Pakistan.…

Alsalamu alaykum , My brother is thinking about contiunuing his studies in Canada, as he might receive the funds to study a subject he is really interested in. But he is rather hesitant as it will be his fist time travelling and living on his own.But we talked and I convinced him that choosing an area where there is a strong involved shia community might ease the transition (my brother is really involved in our local community but hates change). So which area would you suggest? جزاكم الله كل خير

Looking for a Shia Mosque to visit once everything calms down. I know of the Jaffari Community Center, but it's pretty far. I live within Toronto, and can go anywhere that's accessible through the TTC. Also, if anyone can give me a mosque that runs primarily in English and is (even just a little bit) diverse? I'm a Somali convert and always generally disliked mosques that just served as community hubs for particular ethnic communities (including my own).

Salam, I’ve had a dream for years to move to a society that is based mainly of religion. I know the state of Iran isn’t great at the moment but I’m told that Qom still is a very religious place. I saw a thread earlier today about jobs in Iran without speaking Farsi well, I do wish to stay in Qom and of course will make an effort to learn Farsi. I don’t want nothing major just a room. am I being too idealistic as a westerner?

Because ISIS is still there first of all. Secondly, Hashd Al Shaabi is the pride of Iraq which should remain for the stability of the country. Thirdly, US imperialism is still up there which dominates Iraqi politics and if Hashd Al Shaabi goes, US will keep colonizing Iraq forever. Third, I think you are uninformed but Hashd Al Shaabi constitutes a part of Iraqi Armed forces. Any attack on them is an attack on the forces of Iraq. -
This is just a common Sufi rhetoric and poetry, all fluff but no substance, not based in any teachings of Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام). I would welcome any acceptable narrations, with acceptable isnad, to support such rhetoric. -
This is an figurative statement. Imam Ali (عليه السلام) literally was alive in this world with the attributes of free will to choose. As they are currently alive and have sustenance from their Lord, they still also have an free will to choose. Yes but the "free will" will not vanish from them. It is still there and they are using it to choose what Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) likes. -

Salam, When the urine dries, there is no trace of the urine remaining. It is as if there is no urine. That is why it is considered that there is no 'ayn najasah on the door handle and the door handle would, thus, be considered as the first mutanajjis. When touching the door handle with your hand, your hand would become second mutanajjis. Then if your hand touches another object with wetness that object will be third mutanajjis and cannot make other things najis. If, for example, there was blood that had dried on the door handle instead of urine, and your hand touches the blood with wetness, the hand will become first mutanajjis. According to Al-Sayyid As-SIstani, the hand does not need to dry first. According to some other maraja', like Al-Sayyid Khamenei, it is necessary for the hand to dry first. I asked this question on Al-Sayyid As-Sistani's website: Question: The transfer of impurity is limited to two intermediaries. So, for example, if the right hand had become impure by an intrinsic impurity, it can transfer impurity to the left hand through wetness and the left hand can transfer impurity to another object through wetness but this third object does not make anything else najis. In order for this ruling to take place is it necessary for each of these objects to completely dry before transferring the impurity? Is it necessary for the impurity to transfer through new wetness for each time in order for this ruling to take place? What if the right hand transfers impurity to the left hand through wetness and the left hand with this same wetness transfers impurity to the third object? In the Name of God, the Most High It makes no difference. May Allah grant you success. www.sistani.org Istifta Section - Office of His Eminence Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Sistani -
