Assalam Alaykum A shiachat member once asked me to write a letter to our Imam regarding my difficult circumstances. I did with the faith that He will respond however it is appropriate. Soon after, I had the honour of a true experience being in the presence of the Imam for the whole day. And I realised that it took me to actually experience that meeting to have firm faith in the shia belief that the Imam is always there for us guiding us like the light is delivered through the veil of clouds. Please never lose faith in the presence of our Imam and His return. May Allah bless you all. In God's care Abbas

Inshallah, those who believe have a blessed and prosperous New Year.

The people funding the rioters also send mercenaries and snipers. They are the evil ones who stir up trouble. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) prolong the life of Ayatullah Khamenei until the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam AJ.

Trump has been trying to start any war he can get for over a year now. He wants war so he can claim emergency power to claim a third term. He does not realize that he only needs to survive two years, then the Project 2025/MAGA cult leaders will install Vance as leader for the next ten years. Vance is by far worse. Trump is a narcissist psychopath, but also a buffoon. Vance is a true believer in the cult's goals of restoring feudalism in full. I do not want war - nobody with any sense does - but we need someone from outside to come bring democracy to the United States. I do not believe we will be able to do it on our own. I wish the UN would grow a spine, revoke veto power from the terroristic United States, and enact severe sanctions and intervention.

Of course we should always try to be the best person we can be and do the best for the world, others, and our selves, as well as we are capable. However, a new gregorian calendar year as a good a time as any to clarify and state our goals. With that in mind, what are your goals for the upcoming year? And if you made goals for the current year, have you progressed satisfactorily toward them? If not, do you still need these goals or is it time to let them go? What will you do differently going forward? Duas for the health and well being of all who read this post, and duas that the world comes into justice and balance. I haven't yet settled on a few goals. I'll state mine in a few days, inshallah. Meanwhile, I'd love to hear yours.

Gaddafi's daughter speaks

Relax, the IRI is not going anywhere... the US will collapse before the IRI collapses

Allahumma protect the innocent and oppressed people of Venezuela (and everywhere else), and make it the graveyard of the evil empire, once and for all. ameen ya rabb.

Wa alaykas salam sheikh, This is exactly word for word what Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Husain Najafi (ha) told Ayatollah Arafi (ha), the administrative head of the Qom hawza, during his visit to Najaf, - that the collapse of the IRI is going to be a catastrophe and an effective death sentence for the Shi'a everywhere from North Africa to Indonesia. No matter whether we agree with the IRI politically or not, whether we accept Wilayat al-Faqih al-Mutlaqa theologically, this is the time to set all differences aside. The pious mu'min Iranian brothers and sisters who want to live and die by the law of Allah are united with us through the umbilical tie of 'Aliyyun Waliullah'. This is reason enough. They are my brothers-in-iman and I am willing to defend them with life, limb and wealth. I am also praying for the safety and victory of the Iranian brothers after every wajib prayer.

There are actually peaceful protests happening under police protection in many towns, because otherwise the rioters come and attack even the peaceful protests, and the security personnel protecting them. There was a peaceful protest in Kermanshah where the protestors were handing out sweets and flowers to police staff, and then rioters came and gave them death threats. I've seen the videos myself. While I fully sympathize with support the people's right to protest the economic mismanagement of the country, these terrorists and Mossad/CIA handled traitors in the guise of protestors deserve no mercy.

This was taken on the 30th December 2017, in Isfahan. Behind me was a line of riot police. On the left, on the bridge were the rioters coming towards us. But far away enough for me to take some sightseeing pics. We then made it through the riot police cordon and tried to get a taxi. I still regret not taking pic of Maryam with the riot police.

Salam watching for sufayni la this Rajab hoping for Imam Mahdi as next Ashura

No. As I said, Trump is a buffoon. Trump is not THE problem. Trump is a symptom of the problem, which is that the United States has dropped all pretense of being a democracy "of the people, by the people, and for the people" and is now fully run by wealthy oligarchs, conspirators in the Project 2025 cult. Trump is not running anything. If anything, Trump is a distraction from the destruction of any remaining national control or prestige.

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu Please make Dua for my grandma to be guided to Islam, she reminds me when it's time for Salah and even though she's a Christian she respects my beliefs and I try to reciprocate. I help the hospice nurses take care of her and she's 92 years old but she still gets around good she just has to use a walker. Jazakallahu Khair -Travis James Lee

Just came here to drop this quickly: May Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) curse all three of these pigs for this, especially trump for what he just did. At this point countries should stop taking international law seriously, it's the law of the jungle. luckly venezuella did not collapse at all, if anything now venezuella is more ready, with an angrier population behind a president that seems just as ballsy as her predecessor maduro after trump just threatened her with the same fate.

I am sorry to hear this. I hope you find a better job soon and have a good 2026.

Salam, My goals in recent years have always been the same because i failed to achieve any of them My Goals are: 1. Lose weight & overcome laziness 2. Memorise Quran 3. Stop returning to sins when something doesn't go right 4. Find a wife but i think i might give up and focus on looking after me parents 5. Purify my soul, heart etc improve my relationship with God 6. Complete a sincere repentance 7. Find my purpose in life... 8. Find way to cure my sleeping problems 9. Start writing novels stories I think good idea, it gives you a purpose to get out of the house but you need to be consistent with attending the classes.

Salam with the current state of Islam in the western hemisphere and for many people, I talk to in many eastern places I’ve only been to north and south of America I can comment with a surety for their If you are doing the bare minimum and a few extra things, you’re doing a lot more than most people I just came from New York City, which collectively as the city had the largest Muslim population in one city Detroit Metro in Michigan is a hole may have more Muslims, but I don’t think Detroit has more Muslims in New York for instance The amount of people shop owners and employees who couldn’t tell me where the nearest Islamic center is help me double check the Klaw or confirm if their food was really Halal and why it was very bad Many times we think we’re not doing much but we may be doing a lot more than a lot of people so at least that is a consolidation Just try to make the five daily prayers as close to one time as possible do the night prayers even if it’s only a half hour before the morning prayer and if you do nothing else extra recite 50 verses of the Quran a day and Ziyarah Jami khabirah and Ziyarah Ashura once a week wallahu Alam go

Yes just like Allah knew that iblis won't obey but He still commanded the angels prostration to Adam (عليه السلام), thus iblis got exposed and thrown out from an "alayhimussalam" assembly to be called "rajim" forever; likewise the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) knew that umar won't obey but he still commanded the writing of his will about Ahl al-Bayt, thus umar got exposed and thrown out from the "radiyallahu anhum" assembly and the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)'s house to be remembered as the foremost rajim from this Ummah.

It's now open. InshaAllah there will be no attack.

l see some proportional truth to this. Look at the counter-protests. 1.4 million in Tehran. 800k in Mashad. A couple of these marches had Red Flags of Hussain. l saw one video where these three middle-aged men came out of their apartment building with shotguns and the lead man in a brown jacket immediately fired into the rioters. I will not want my apartment building set on fire either. The Western mediocures keep showing the some of the same week-old videos. The burning of District 5 municipal building in Tehran. A couple of burning mosques (Ayat 20:44) of 50+ so reported --attacking the din. The trapped nurse being burnt alive in her own clinic. That policeman knocked off his bike and beaten and burnt alive. And beaten while burning. Then Western media whine about some of the vicious psychos likely to be hanged (and you can bring the Gaza Ghetto in for comparison). lf a son of mine did any of this, l will not want him hanged, but nailed up.

Agents, troublemakers, instigators, burning mosques, attacking ambulances, threatening shops with arson. Godless people.

Salam I don’t want to disappoint anyone, but this event I was a very specific timeline in every generation which is the third year of lunar cycle. There are three possibilities for these figures if they align at the same time then the chain reaction begins. That is why it’s mentioned by the infallible themselves in our scholars of the last luminary is not even aware of the time of his coming if these figures were fixed, he would know because it’s flexible he too awaits for us to prepare the way for his kingdom Sufayni would rise in the month of Rajab then shortly after he would conquer Syria, what we call the lawant Arabia Iraq, and attack parts of Persia he would kill slaughter and mutilate burn with fire and oil the Shia black flags within about at the halfway .2 or three months it’s speculated rise from the east i.e. khursan . Khursani will fight sufayni at Kufa than closer towards Mahdi as maybe 4 or 5 month Yamani will rise and fight sufayni outside Makkah 15 days before the uprising being six months after sufayni comess a descendent of Imam Hassan as peace on him will be killed between the south wall of the kaba and the pillar of Abraham, Allah will become angry as never before and after 15 days, the upper riser will rise. The killing will occur on the 25th. Of Dhul Hijjrah the authorizer will rise. On Ashura He will fight the sufayni for two months and slay him After that 124,000 profits, all the true believers and the people of doubt would lie they would come to pledge allegiance at him to him when he pinches pitch his tense in Kufa you will go to the truth for three days. Then he calls to the sword you will fight the enemies of gods and his against his arm to the north south east and west until depression is no more, and the law of God reigns upon the Earth. There is a dispute whether 313 would be the blood sacrifice in the war between the two cities of hijab, or they would become great generals. The view I take is that that would be the army who has killed, and then Arlito race his hands to the sky in the Earth with his enemies alone survivor would run back to Syria and tear telling what happens happened. He would roll for seven or 19 years that are like 10 or 100 years. Hypocrites will be born from the lines of believers again and he would be killed by hypocrite after that he would return he would hand the flag to the 12 guides being the profit in the first 11 guides each of them would rule for 44,000 years that he would rule for 88,000 to 8.8 million years after that, the world would end between an hour and 40 days later wallahu Alam

Two Twitter trends Calling out Zionists who sympathise with Iranians, but who can't call a genocide a genocide Videos of police beating up people and large demonstrations - seemingly from Iran, but actually from the U.S. or Europe Often, these would be put down for whataboutery, but the genocide is still going on.

Salam The Commander of the faithful peaceful upon him, said whoever abandoned and joining the right and forbidden the wrong, his abandoned faith We need to speak out against hearing oppression, speak out against injustice and wrong economic policies, condemn the corrupt politicians and call to the true faith. Also, we must give up the kind of unity that spreads fall prevents us from telling the truth, and spreading the true faith we can condemn the three the monarchy in the scholars of the others in a polite way, and tell the truth we must call to the ship of salvation for the flood is coming In the second volume of Mikayal Makarim Sayyid Muhammad Taqi Musawi Isfahani mentions 80 duties in the absence of the Imam as and gives indication on how to prepare the way every believer ought to read that the book is available on Al Islam org wallahu alam

Exactly. They are burning mosques and Quran as well, attacking children and protestors. They have to jail them for life. Just like what sayid khamenei said, they are doing what trump (la) wants.

Not at all. If anything the security personnel are showing restraint and not using force- much less discharging firearms- unless force is used from the other side. However, snipers and armored vehicles with machine guns have been deployed after the fifth columnist terrorists have begun using firearms themselves and trying to storm police and military buildings. I have video evidence, and will be happy to share it privately, but not here, in order to prevent baiting from trolls and bots.

I don't see any other countries other than Yemen fighting the Zionists for the liberation of Gaza, Iran is good in my book

That is neither unislamic nor corrupt. A government is expected to maintain national defense. Your citizenship is a choice you can make.

Thank you for sharing. The foundation of a thriving civilization, among other factors, is based on moral principles. The Prophets and Messengers championed this as one of the primary areas of growth, and modern society continues to benefit from their guidance. Regards, Abbas

No, it is a real technological solution and it has been around for a while. It just only sometimes works. I don't know what "chemtrails" is. I thought that was what conspiracy theorists called the clouds that exit jet engines. Basically they throw dust into some clouds in the hopes of getting water to stick to the dust and start forming drops. You have to actually have clouds for it to work.

On Friday, i didnt see riots in Tehran. I have heard that there are riots in some towns.

I saw/watched Ayat. Khamenei's remarks on the inflation problem. Suggestion to "foil enemy plots"--to use lRI gov't idiom: Change currency. Observation: Many countries use the USD as their national currency. Ecuador, El Salvador, East Timor, Micronesia, Marshal Islands, Palau, Caribbean Netherlands. Other countries incorporate USD with their own: Liberia and Zimbabwe. So IRl had two useable options. The Ruble or the Yuan. I think the Yuan is best. One, because lRl is astride the SCO central focus. And because the Yuan is based on the second largest global economy and the Yuan is also valued in the PRC based on a basket of currencies.

Assalam Alaykum @Wania Qazalbash My sincere prayers for your recovery. I suggest making a habit of asking yourself the reason behind your thoughts. For example, first ask yourself, “What are the reasons I am worried about XYZ?” Then ask, “What are the reasons for me not to worry about it?”. Finally, "which reason makes more sense and outweighs the other?" With practice, you will, inshaAllah, train your mind to feel balanced. Please also consider anything you may have been consuming that could cause frustration or an imbalance of thought—this may include medication, other non-organic products, etc. InshaAllah, may you get well soon. Regards, Abbas

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is always with you, He does not left our side. I had many years severe panic attacks, almost daily and the only thing that removed it is that I prayed to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to remove it so He made me taste sakinah (tranquility) and anxiety and panics vanished. After that I realized He is the giver and taker so to Him I trust my affair. Its been many years and till this day I don't have panic attack anymore alhamdulillah. I pray that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will remove your anxiety and panic attacks. Also, it requires absolutely what our brother @AbdusSibtayn have mentioned. Specially remember Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) often and don't sin.

Wassalam, I think you are having these thoughts because of your medical condition. Allah doesn't hold grudges. He is not petty like us. You are forgiven the very moment you do tawbah, inshallah. Imam al-Taqi al-Jawad (عليه السلام) has listed 3 conditions for the acceptance of tawbah- 1. The tawbah must be accompanied what is called 'tanaddum' in Arabic; the closest English translation that I can think of is shame or remorse (ie you truly realize and acknowledge in your heart that what you have done was wrong). 2. You must articulate your tawbah verbally- even if it's a whisper or just your lips moving (no need to make anyone else hear it; in fact it is even haram to make your sins public). 3. You must firmly and sincerely resolve to give up the sin for good. If these steps are followed and conditions met, inshallah your sins will be forgiven. Don't let the Shaytan's whispers get to you- Allah is looking for excuses to forgive you even before you have actually repented. Nothing pleases him more than an errant servant turning to Him in repentance. Read this (both the parts) . Perhaps it will allay your fears. https://al-islam.org/greater-sins-volume-3-sayyid-abdul-husayn-dastghaib-shirazi/tawba-part-one Iman fluctuates. We have peaks and troughs. For now focus on your wajibat. Don't skip them. Force yourself if needed. But postpone the mustahabbat for when you feel more receptive. No He hasn't. Because if He did, you wouldn't have cared to ask this question here. The very fact that you are worried about your current situation shows that He hasn't let go of you and is still guiding you. Yes. By mending your ties with Allah and His vicegerent on earth (aj). 1. Begin with sincere tawbah. Repent from all of your sins and firmly resolve to give them up forever. First do ghusl, then to wudu, recite istighfar 70 times, then go into sajdah and beg forgiveness from Allah. 2. Communicate with the Imam of the Age (aj). He is your Imam, just as Ali (عليه السلام) was the Imam of Qambar and Maalik, Hussain (عليه السلام) was the Imam of Muslim, Habib and Hurr, al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) was the Imam of Zurarah, Hisham and Mumin al-Taq. You have a personal bond with him. Write letters to him. Do good deeds and dedicated their rewards to him. Tell him about your problems, however silly or small they seem. And remember- the biggest gift that you can give him is to not commit sins. 3. Recite plenty of salawat and istighfar. Fi Amanillah.

Epstein files partially released, Netanyahu meets Trump, protests start hmm....

May all your needs be met and may you get new and fulfilling opportunities soon, inshallah. Maintain contact with the best of your colleagues. I don't wish your former colleagues ill, but may your former bosses reap what they sow. They should learn that there is value in loyalty to employees.

However, if you look at the link that Ashvazdanghe sent, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi says that dropshipping is allowed if the buyer agrees; Most buyers that buy from dropshippers, are choosing to buy from their stores instead of directly from the suppliers. They know that it is coming from a third party. As I stated earlier, if you are dropshipping, you are simply handing their order to their suppliers. I am not really sure how this could be considered haram.

Today was the worst day of the year, the company I worked with said they no longer want me because they can't pay my salary and I am still junior. So they fired me. Tomorrow is new year. Inshallah 2026 will be a good year for everyone. My coworkers were really sad because what happened to me was not fair. They fired me 1 hour before we all leave, who does this.

Wa alaykumussalam. Thanks a lot brother for sharing such an amazing experience, may Allah bless you forever.

Salam I want to start with that great Alim, not in the overuse sense, but in the actual seminary definition Sayyid Muhammad Hussayn Hussayni Jalali who very few people even knew existed yet was a pillar in Chicago out of his living room in an impoverished neighborhood. He taught a generation of Muslims, the society and most of the centers rejected him, but he kept doing the work even into his 80s working random places to earn a waffle income, and not to use the religious funds https://www.sayyidjalali.org/ https://www.theopenschool.net/

The reason for acting as if 'Aisha was young and Khadija (peace be upon her) was old when getting married to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was mainly a political one. The information for the age of 'Aisha relies solely on Hisham bin 'Urwa and even in those chains where he is not mentioned directly it still relies on him, because then the same Iraqi narrators are still in the chain, who originally narrated the issue through him. In addition he also narrated things that would make her prepubescent and this is a clear misinformation in order to make 'Aisha look innocent and more special than the rest of the wives. The reality is that neither Hisham nor his father 'Urwa bin Zubayr are to be trusted. Both of them inclined towards the oppressors of their times. As for 'Aisha herself, then Surat al-Tahrim is more than enough to distrust her and not to rely on anything she claimed. In addition to that it seems that a number of statements have been put into her mouth for different reasons. I doubt any sane Muslim would accept some of the false and void things that are "narrated" through her.

Nice try, but do better. Try to sound more convincing.

Anxiety, like all illnesses, is likely to be a test, not a punishment. Repent of your mistakes and do your best to avoid sin, and most importantly, do not give up hope. Follow your prescribed anxiety treatment for your body and mind. Pray, fast, and do good deeds for your soul. Allah is most merciful.

Salaam Aleikum, I remember one said how is your Imam (عليه السلام) helping you. Then I realized that how a man whose heart is veiled can see it? You are absolute true, he does helps us and have been helping us in many situations, and those who remove their veils from their heart see it as clear than seeing the sun.

AI slop has become so predictable and easy to predict, that these days, just two lines into a writing, I can tell if it is AI or not. AI is ultimately machine-made, and machines work in recognizable patterns. If you look long and hard enough, you can tell the recognizable patterns in AI writings too. Your gut will know what it is. People are using AI to write everything from resumes to love letters and messages to essays and assignments to social media posts. They are even using AI filters to 'humanize' AI writings! At this rate, those days are not very far when parent and child, husband and wife will be conversing with each other using prompts and AI chatbots. Technology was supposed to make human life easier. It is making them lifeless. We are all turning into organic bots. PS: I didn't write this using AI.
