One of the strange things I find in Sunnism is since they try to sanctify all the sahaba, they end up making excuses for them by saying they were only exercising their ijtihad. It is said that both Aisha and Muawiya were just making ijtihad and even tho they were wrong, they will still be rewarded for their ijtihad. This to be me is a strange concept. Just imagine an example where I am in Saudi and decide to lead a rebellion. I would be casted away as a khariji, yet Muawiya and Aisha can make a blunder in their ijtihad, cause thousands to die and they are still rewarded?

Those are all work of shaytan and haram and shirk. Don't try any of them.

I do. Stick around SC, you will find company here.

I care. Do you have any hobbies? What kind of things do you enjoy? Do you live with family?

Wa alaikum as salam The ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) were laying down a template/model for us to follow, refer to and learn from. Punishing someone for a crime not yet committed would set a dangerous precedent. Imagine all of us ran around trying to 'pre-emptively' punish one another? It would be a disaster. The case of khidr was a test of patience and a specific lesson to prophet musa (عليه السلام).

Support for the oppressed and condemnation of oppressors is not supposed to be transactional. A Muslim should do what is right and not expect reward or even thanks.

She is on ventilator right now. Please pray. Yesterday she was admitted to ICU and today on ventilator.

Correct, and therefore we have been instructed by our ulema to refrain from disrespectful comments. However, in general we do disassociate ourselves from those who opposed Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), His Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) and the Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) , and this does include A'isha.

If Aisha had behaved just like Khadijah (رضي الله عنه), then the Shias have no issue with Aisha. For 26 years Khadijah (رضي الله عنه) sacrificed her life to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and never did the Prophet took additional wife. Wifes of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) are related to Prophet by marriage. Ahlulbayt are related to the Prophet by higher relationships. Ahlulbayt are not just family, they are higher in status to wifes of Prophet. Another issue, Aisha fought bloody battlefield with the Khalifah where thousands of Muslims got killed. She supposed to

Salaam brother, Her situation has not improved much. We are still hopeful. But not much has changed. Just pray. Inshallah she will be okay.

As you have read, unmarried people have many excuses for not being married. I will attempt to address the top ones here, and their solutions. Of course, these solutions involve a personal component, as well as a social component. For these excuses to really work, the individual must change their thinking, and at the same time, society must also change its thinking. Without both changing, the solution will not fully work, but the main thing which will satisfy Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) in this case (which is the only real goal) is that the person stop thinking negatively and put in effort

Before you decide where to move, you have to ask yourself the more important question, Why do I want to move ? You said you were a Canadian Citizen. So do you just want to go someplace warmer, because you hate the cold weather ? Do you want to be someplace with a larger and stronger muslim community ? Do you want to go someplace where there is less fasad (open corruption) ? Do you want to go someplace that is cheaper to live, where you can simplify your life ? Besides the weather part (which is known and predictable), the other parts are subjective and may not exi

Yes, the nature of work is changing, but it has always been changing. Technology has been evolving, and will continue to evolve. This is why I tell brothers and sisters, when you are choosing a career, look in the future, not in the present. Look at a career and see if this career is going to be around in 20 years. Young brothers now who are going into a career like Truck Driving or working on the assembly line in a factory, I am telling them please don't do this. Those jobs will not be around in 20 years and making a shift mid career is exponentially more difficult than making one in the begi

Salam, All those are valid points but the hardest is probably meeting people when you don't have a family or social circle who are able to cast a wide net. Obviously as a revert you are probably the wrong person to say this to as it must have been harder for you, but it is still a common issue.

Salam , I don't think like that about you anyway you see some matters from different angle but you are not too different because any matter here can be seen from differen angles by anybody also we are a community with different viewpoints which everyone viewpoint is valuable .

Salam Brother, I think the big misconception amoung our Sunni brother and Sisters is that Shia is another sect, like the Wahabis or the Sufis, etc. In fact, we are just simply following what Rasoulallah(p.b.u.h) told us to do, according to the most credible and reliable sources we have. The center of our religion is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). Since Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) commanded us to follow Rasoulallah(p.b.u.h) always and forever, this is what we do, in obedience to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). When Rasoulallah(p.b.u.h) said (at Ghadir Khum) 'Of whoever I am his Lea

Because they are a corruption. I just posted an article about how the cartoon “blues clues” is teaching small children about lgbtq. They are confusing the youth. Instead of focusing on language, math, history and other skills, there is a big emphasis on lgbtq and acceptance of 72 different genders. This is causing children to wonder what box they fit into. My ex wife’s brother in law has a daughter who identifies as a boy. She is 13. She even admits her peers pressured her to choose a box. I remember playing ninja turtle toys when I was young, sometimes my sister would have her frien

Like what ? If you are talking about Shirk (ascribing partners to Allah(s.w.a)), this is a sin that will not be forgiven if you die after having done this sin and don't ask for forgiveness. If you are still alive, you still have a chance to ask for forgiveness for this sin. There are a few other sins, like taking the life of a mumin / mumina deliberately, without a right to do that which have 'built in' penalties. If someone does this, they will have to spend some time in hell, as it says in the Holy Quran. Even this sin, though, is something that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) ca

Learn from past mistakes, repent to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and try and become a better muslimah for the sake of Allah and not just to please your parents.

Spending more time reading and less time watching random and useless videos online. Generally people read much less these days due to an unlimited flow of online entertainment. I think we should keep strict rules over ourselves about screentime and make sure we spend sufficient free time doing offline activities such as reading, studying, exercising, going out in the nature, taking care of family etc

Just a quick post: الحمدلله I did not notice any side effects, whatsoever, other than a mild soreness near the injection spot, which lasted for only two days.

Not reliable and mainly comes from a Sunni chain of narrators that is even weak to them.

Witchcraft is also used for superficial stuff like trying to bind a lover to you or to harm someone. We have adhkar and duas that are affective for health, wealth, attracting a mate, safety etc

As'Salaam Alaiykum, I'm new here and this is my first post. I don't know why I'm sharing this here, but I've come to a point where now I just feel helpless. I don't know what to do or how to ask for help. I've tried to seek for help as well, but no one seems to understand and I have a very hard time talking about my feelings, what bothers me, and what it is that I actually want. I want to say that my mental issues started when I was very young. Seeing certain things, experiencing certain traumas forced me to grow up much quicker and take on responsibilities from a much younger age.

I just want to say that I have children, three boys who are now teenagers. I would never think of saying something like that to them, 'Your ugly' or 'Your stupid', etc. I know the profound negative effect that has especially coming from a parent. The fact that you still believe in Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and Rasoulallah(p.b.u.h) and Wilayat of Ahl Al Bayt((عليه السلام)) and do the wajibat is the greatest gift that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) could ever give to anyone. You have that gift, the other things are very trivial compared to that. So, please, please don't ever think ab

The clothes she wears must not be of the type that would gain attention and attraction because of its beauty, and that is based on the customs of the environment she is in. For example, if she lives in a village where it isn't the norm to wear, say pink or purple, because every woman out there is wearing a black abaya, and therefore she stands out and gains attention, that can be problematic. So yes, according to customs, material and colour matter too. Just wanted to point that out to the sister.

Wa alaikum as salam brother. As you have observed, where islam was once something that people seemed curious, interested and fascinated about, it has now become something uncomfortable and even despised. Part of the responsibility lies with the muslimeen themselves. We loudly proclaim our religious identity but are poor in representing our religious values. Rather than being known for honesty and trustworthiness, we are better known for criminality and misuse of social benefits. Seeking knowledge (worldly and religious), helping our societies (muslim and non muslim) and ma

Hello. Basically some night, usually when I go to bed, I have this urge or feeling to cry, like almost being on the verge of tears. I'm not sure why I feel like this, but it's been kind of bothering me. Why is this?

Hello. There's so much trouble going on around the world and my issue probably seems, actually it is in fact first world problems. But there's been a void in my heart for a good few years now, and it just won't go away. It's made me lose interest in basically everything in life. I'm not practicing anymore, its been quite a long while actually. And I'm sure you're gonna come to the conclusion of me feeling like this because of my lack of spirituality and the fact that I don't practice, but I can assure you that I felt exactly the same way when I did practice. I don't want to ge

Please talk with a therapist or psychiatrist. This obsessive behavior can be treated through talk therapy or perhaps medication. There is nothing further anyone on the internet can say to you.

Life goes on. It's up to you now whether you want to move on or not. Be grateful for everything that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has given you.

Du'a (supplication) is an act of worship, and acts of worship are reserved only for Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), because there is no Lord but Him. There are different forms of Du'a, and we have authentically narrated Du'as which order the believer to call upon Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) by the right of His servants, and there is no problem with this at all, and this isn't exclusive to the Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) at all. One can easily call upon Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and ask Him to grant you your request by the right of the Holy Qur'an, His angels, His beautiful creation

Ya Hannie you have to take better care of yourself. Cutting is simply distracting yourself from what is bothering you. If you still do it that means you are deeply depressed. You should make dhikr often as remembering Allah guides our hearts to finding rest. Suppressing issues don’t work. Trust me I know as I have suppressed a lot of things from the past year. But I notice they keep coming back to haunt me and no happiness is to be found in that strategy. Dhikr is a great remedy for many of our mental ailments. You should look into the science of irfan. Also other things such as hobbies or exe

Scenes after IDF bombing. I would have written 'visual discretion advised' but I don't want to. Our brothers, sisters and children are living through this, we shouldn't have a problem viewing it sitting in our safe homes. May the wrath of Allah be upon the Zionists their supporters and enablers,and those who have turned a blind eye to the oppression taking place in Palestine.

Salaam, This is a problem being an introvert. A person feels like that. But don't worry people are there and you can talk to them anytime. Being an introvert is not a bad thing but infact a good one. But just don't block yourself and don't be harsh on yourself. You can share anything with me whenever possible. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) bless you and protect you.

Of course. It's more embarrassing to think that Allah won't always be there for us. Think of it this way, even a tyrant would be punished for not praying. What does this mean? It means that despite all that they've done, each and every day Allah called them and invited them for salah. So the door is always open, until you're dead. And even then He'll be there overflowing with mercy that our minds cannot comprehend.

Uff, there are many things I wish I could have done differently. Here are the things I would have told my younger self: 1. QUIT VIDEOGAMES. It's ok to play for 1-2 hours, but I remember I used to spend around 8 hours per day for years. Imagine the many productive things I could have done in that wasted time, like Qur'an memorisation or even physical activities. 2. Don't visit the bad sites in the Internet and watch haraam stuff. This is probably one of the things I regret most in life. Addictions like this should be eliminated as soon as possible. 3. Learn the Islamic laws as so

People should be very careful not to fall to an exaggeration.

Assalama ‘alaykum brother, undertaking Hijra for your deen is a great deed in itself. In my opinion Oman would suit you the most. I have been there many times. Most friendly people from all the Gulf Arabs. I am aware that originally you are a Somali. Since Oman had hundreds of years links with East African coast it has very relaxed atmosphere. I am from Uganda, so I really liked the atmosphere there. Quite a few Omani speak Swahili too. Even though the Government is Ibadi, there is absolute no sectarian tension at all. One advantage is that you can learn Arabic too. May Allah Almi

A lot of time gluttony is due to some sort of depression. Just like alcoholism, binge eating is used to cope with depression. So addressing the root of depression is important. I’m not sure if you are a guy, but if you are you must understand that there is no greater feeling then being in shape. I like when I see friends I haven’t seen in a while and they notice the difference in my muscles. I like that when I do have to go to sketchy places in the hood, many of times guys just get out of my way. If you work on ur body you start to look good and feel good. This in itself is a good weapon again

It has been narrated that if Imam Ali (عليه السلام) had decided to kill the people of Basra and to take their spoils, it would have been allowed for him, but he decided to be generous to them so that they become generous on his Shi'a. His generosity was likened to the generosity of the Prophet (saww) after the Conquest of Mecca. Reliable hadiths have come to us to tell us that those who fought Imam Ali (عليه السلام) were even more evil than those who fought the Prophet (saww), because those who fought Imam Ali (عليه السلام) knew Islam and then rejected it (they apostated). Would you respe

Wa Alaykum Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Ta'Ala wa Barakatuh, Everyone seems to be saying look into mysticism, I agree. Ok. So we can deny every "thing". We can deny that "we" (i.e. consciousness) are our hands (because hands can be cut off), brain, heart, skin, legs and most importantly, our thoughts (although we are not mutually exclusive or separate from them, see this very short series https://sekaleshfar.com/lecture-series/gnosis-of-the-soul/). But in that moment that we are denying every"thing" can we deny that "we" or "something" is denying, or that existence (by its very defini

They are not stupid. Stupidity just not bring you this far. What they are are evil clever. The same way Muawiyah is. Arabs have never united for God cause in this Palestine issue, rather they only unite if It is about land or money.

I suggest you kindly remain on topic instead of trying to speculate about the religious beliefs of the brother. The topic is open for everyone to discuss, as is our forum in general. Thanks for your understanding
