For a thirty day season, the tears flow freely - like a river. Glistening pools of submission gathered through realisation, Realisation through confession, Confession as a result of reflection. Reflections illuminating the chamber; Revealing rust and emptiness. Thus the river flows - from the lips to the heart, Making a home in the sanctuary, Accepting the invitation, for now...

Salam. May I know, why is this Shia/Sunni Dialogue sect is full of topics about Wahhabism??? C'mon, it says Shia and Sunni dialogue. That means, Shia and Sunni only. Why is Wahhabism included? I'm sorry but somehow I feel annoyed.

عظم الله اجورنا و اجوركم في مصاب امير المؤمنين ثم اْقبل على ابنه الحسن فقال يا بني اْنت وليالاْمر بعدي وولي الدم فان عفوت فلك وان قتلت فضربة مكان ضربة ولا تاْثم ثم قال اْكتب. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هذا ما اْوصى به اْمير المؤمنين علي ابن اْبي طالب اْوصى اْنه يشهد اْن لا اله الله وحده لاشريك له واْن محمدا عبده ورسوله اْرسله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الين كله ولو كره المشركون ثم ان صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين لا شريك له وبذلك اْمرت واْنا اول المسلمين. اْوصيكما بتقوى الله واْن لا تبغيا الدنيا وان بغتكما ولا تاْسفا على شيء زوي عنكما وقولا بالحق واعملا للاْجر(للآخرة )وكونا للظالم خصما وللمظلوم عونا. اْوصيكما وجميع ولدي واْهل بيتي(واْهلي )ومن بلغهم كتابي هذا من المؤمنين بتقوى الله ربكم ولا تموتن الا واْنتم مسلمون واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعا ولا تفرقوا واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم اذ كنتم اعداء فالف بين قلوبكم(بتقوى الله ونظم اْمركم وصلاح ذات بينكم )فاني سمعت. رسول الله(ص) يقول اصلاح ذات البين اْفضل من عامة الصلاة والصيام وان البغضة حالقة الدين وفساد ذات البين(وان المبيرة الحالقة للدين فساد ذات البين )ولا قوة الا باْلله اْنظروا ذوي اْرحامكم فصلوهم يهون الله عليكم الحساب والله الله في الايتام لا تغبوا اْفواههم ولا يضيعوا بحضرتكم فاني سمعت رسول الله(ص) يقول من عال يتيما حتى يستغني اْوجب الله له الجنة كما اْوجب الآكل مال اليتيم النار والله الله في القرآن فلا يسبقكم الى العمل به غيركم والله الله في جيرانكم فان الله ورسوله اْوصيابهم(فانه وصية نبيكم)مازال يوصي بهم حتى ظننا اْنه سيورثهم والله الله في بيت ربكم فلا يخلون منكم ما بقيتم فانه ان ترك لم تناظروا الله الله في الصلاة !فانها خير العمل وانها عموددينكم الله اْلله في الزكاة فانها تطفيء غضب ربكم الله الله في صيام شهر رمضان فان صيامه جنة من النار الله الله في الجهاد في سبيل الله باْموالكم وانفسكم واْلسنتكم فانما يجاهد في سبيل الله رجلان امام هدى ومطيع له مقتد بهداه والله الله في ذرية نبيكم فلا يظلمن بين اْظهركم mam Ali's (as) last will to his sons Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Hussain (as) after the attempt on his life by a stab from Ibn Muljam: My advice to you is to be conscious of Allah and steadfast in your religion. Do not yearn for the world, and do not be seduced by it. Do not resent anything you have missed in it. Proclaim the truth; work for the next world. Oppose the oppressor and support the oppressed. I advise you, and all my children, my relatives, and whosoever receives this message, to be conscious of Allah, to remove your differences, and to strengthen your ties. I heard your grandfather, peace be upon him, say: "Reconciliation of your differences is more worthy than all prayers and all fasting." Fear Allah in matters concerning orphans. Attend to their nutrition and do not forget their interests in the middle of yours. Fear Allah in your relations with your neighbors. Your Prophet often recommended them to you, so much so that we thought he would give them a share in inheritance. Remain attached to the Quran. Nobody should surpass you in being intent on it, or more sincere in implementing it. Fear Allah in relation to your prayers. It is the pillar of your religion. Fear Allah in relation to His House; do not abandon it as long as you live. It you should do that you would abandon your dignity. Persist in jihad in the cause of Allah, with your money, your souls, and your tongue. Maintain communication and exchange of opinion among yourselves. Beware of disunity and enmity. Do not desist from promoting good deeds and cautioning against bad ones. Should you do that,the worst among you would be your leaders, and you will call upon Allah without response. O Children of Abdul Mattaleb! Do not shed the blood of Muslims under the banner: The Imam has been assassinated! Only the assassin should be condemned to death. If I die of this stab of his, kill him with one similar stroke. Do not mutilate him! I have heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, say: "Mutilate not even a rabid dog."

"O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, raise me not a single degree before the people without lowering me its like in myself and bring about no outward exaltation for me without an inward abasement in myself to the same measure!" -Dua Makarim al-Akhlaq Your willingness to go against the divine recommendation of humility and ease in showing that you do not possess the attribute mentioned by the Imam (as) reveals that there is kibr and haughtiness present within your heart. It is easy to see, then, why you say such filthy things against the 'ulema.

As Shervin mentioned, Basijis don't get paid jack. They do other stuff. Being a Basiji isn't their job. Basijis do have priority in university and job applications (which, by the way, is openly announced by all state employers!), but this difference is not enough to push an opponent of Islamic government and WF to join Basij. When you're a Basiji you have to attend meetings and be active in various activities. You can't just join, get a card, and be given a baton to beat down on soosoolis. People opposed to the system won't work so diligently for it just for a negligible advantage in job/university admissions. You can get by just fine in Iran without being a Basiji. Don't project your stereotypical "fear society" view upon Iran. Watch it Hawraa. WATCH IT. AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA ای رهبر آزاده آماده ایم آماده! ای رهبر آزاده آماده ایم آماده! ای رهبر آزاده آماده ایم آماده!

Morphed/JIDF - anti-muslim, islamophobe troll

The camel hump is so tacky... Also contradicting. *Sigh* It saddens me really...it's not hard to wear proper hijab really. I'm not perfect, not saying i am i still have lots of improvement, but i mean like, the camel hump and all the makeup plus the tight clothes? Thats not hijab, its a mockery of hijab. As Muslim women we need to think when we get dressed, would the Prophet (SAW) approve or be proud of our attire? Allahu 3alam.

http://www.nowlebanon.com/NewsArticleDetails.aspx?ID=304356&MID=0&PID=0 Great job March 8! Keep the reforms coming!

Apparently the rabble have been pushed back so much they reached Lebanon, LOL!

(bismillah) (salam) Guys dont waste tonight coming onto shiachat or going onto facebook or youtube or w/e and wasting time, if tonight does end up being laylatul qadr and youve spent half of it chatting to people about stuff which arent important then you are missing out on a lot of good deeds. http://www.duas.org/laylat_aamaal.htm Also remember The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Laylatu alqadri khayrun min alfi shahr Alot of people think that it is equal to 1000 months but no it says it is better than a thousand months, for all we know it could be equal to 5000 months. Maybe the more aamal we do on laylatul qadr the more time it is equal to. Also if I can avoid shiachat for a few hours im sure everyone else can. May Allah (swt) accept your fasts, prayers and duas tonight and every other night inshaAllah. (wasalam)

What you welcome, Or do not welcome.. Does not matter to anyone here. Although, Thank you for coming here, taking out the time and trying to correct us. Like I said before.. Everyone has their own way of commemorating and grieving the Imam... Please keep your views about Azadari to yourself, and do azadari the way it pleases you.. And do not criticize anyone's way of doing it.

Our position on the Dome of the Rock is a bit unclear. Our Imams (as) were asked about Bayt al-Maqdis in Jerusalem, which is not the same building as the Dome of the Rock. Bayt al-Maqdis ("the Holy House", Beit ha-Mikdash in Hebrew) is seen by the Sunnis and many lay Shi`as as "Masjid al-Aqsa" ("the Furthest Mosque") mentioned in the Qur'an. However, when asked about this, the Imams (as) said that al-Aqsa was actually a Masjid in the heavens (hence, the furthest), and that the Masjid of Kufa was superior to the Masjid in Jerusalem. With this new interpretation, is would mean that the verse in the Qur'an which says Muhammed (pbuh) was taken from the Ka`ba to al-Aqsa would mean he ascended to the heavens (mi`raj) from Mecca and not Jerusalem. If I recall correctly, some scholars did adopt the event of Isra from Sunni literature (the Prophet's trip to Jerusalem and other places), but I don't know if the story is reliably narrated in any of our own traditions. As for the status of Jerusalem, although it obviously had historical importance to previous prophets and served as Muhammad's (pbuh) first qibla, I think its significance ends there. I believe the Ummayyads had an interest in making Jerusalem more of a holy city and making its two mosques holy locations. Same with Damascus. The Umayyad's ruled from Shaam, which encompassed Jerusalem, and for a long time they did not control Mecca or Medina; and thus, I think they needed to hold onto a branch of spiritual legitimacy. Moreover, the story Isra provided legitimacy to Abu Bakr, as it is allegedly the event in which he gained his epithet "as-Siddiq" ("the believing friend"), which we deny and even al-Albani declared as weak. As for the Dome of the Rock historically, it is likely to be the ancient spot in which the Temple of Solomon lay. After it was destroyed in 70 CE, it was turned into a garbage dump by the Romans. After the Muslims conquered Jerusalem, Sunni tradition records `Umar ibn al-Khattab travelling to Jerusalem with Ka`b. Ka`b points to the spot that the Temple used to lay, and `Umar began clearing the dirt with his hands. The Umayyads later built Bayt al-Maqdis and the Dome of the Rock, saying that the Prophet (pbuh) prayed with all prophets at al-Maqdis and then ascended to heaven at the Dome of the Rock (the two are not far from each other). The existence of a dump however casts doubt on the story, because the Prophet would've prayed in a building that did not exist, and ascended to heaven from the dump. So I believe the story is revionary. And Allah knows best.

Damn ghadaffi and damn rebels

there always MANY things to do.. ppl just need to learn new skills and invest in hobbies! :D

Just like alcoholics can get their bottles poured down the drain, I think you need to get rid of those games in one go first and foremost. This is only distracting you further from where you need to go and what you need to do, and it's no wonder you resort to them. I could almost relate to this, minus the addiction. And I think this is something most, or all, feel at some point or at multiple points in their lives. You are just fed up. Fed up with the world, with everything in it - the injustice, the cruelty and the impatience it brings you. And that's all there is to your problem. As cliche as it sounds - your life is and always will be a roller coaster. Despite the fact you will reach heights never to be forgotten, lows will always follow. And what you must learn is the art of life I guess - to embrace the highs and be nostalgic every once in a while. Remember in the past what has made you happy, remember those moments you felt content with Allah (swt) and actually realised His (swt) blessings. That is what you cling to, and that is what should keep you going without fail. Alaa bithikrilaahi tatmainnul quloob. In terms of your parents - sometimes when you feel the way you do, it's not surprising you don't want to talk to anybody. But I really would savor the advice you've been given: "you will be a great man someday when you get a degree from college and earn so much that you will spend for Allah" ... Be the man you want to become in the eyes of Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì, your family and ultimately, for your own self. Talk to your parents about the way you feel and don't exclude them from your thoughts, for their advice is only taken when it's often too late. Turn to Allah (swt) like you always do, and keep Him (swt) in your Remembrance, always. Do what makes you happy and what will make Allah (swt) happy, and leave the rest up to Him.

This 4 minute video talks about the disgusting ’secret police’, ‘dictators’ etc. Must watch. The Sheikh is not salafi. The video is old from the 90’s I think. This is amazing. A short but powerful video that also also refers to Syria.

In all honesty 3 more guys need to be taken out in lebanon ! Siniora Harriri Gae Gae once they are gone, we can prosper !

They were experts. Experts in murder, rape and desecrating mosques.

(bismillah) The elections for the Majlis e Khabargan is held regularly every few years. Its not logistically possible for the whole world's Shia population to participate at this time. There is no condition for the WF to be Iranian. Now, I have a question for you. Lets say it was somehow possible for all Shia all over the world young and old, men and women to participate in an election. In such a scenario would you be willing to accept the WF? ?

SALAM, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY FOR 5 LONG YEARS , THE LAW WAS CHANGED IN 2006 AND MY SON GOT HIS PASS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM , ONLY THEY WANTED MY PERMIT AND OF COURSE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM ITS IRANIAN LAW (EVEN THOUGH ITS ISLAMIC COUNTRY). ATLEAST IRAN IS GOOD, TRY TO GET A WIFE FROM KUWAIT, UAE OR SAUDI, THEY WILL DENOUNCE THE CITIZENSHIP FOR THE LADY WHO GETS MARRIED TO A FOREIGNER. A CHILD IS BETTER THAN A PIECE OF LAND IN IRAN. AND DEMOCRACY OR WOMEN RIGHT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM. ISLAM IS SELF SUFFICIENT WITH THE BEST WOMEN RIGHTS AND OTHER LAWS. SALAM

Iran is sending over what experts? Agricultural Experts? Technical Experts? Senior doctors?

Saudi sent "experts" to Bahrain? I thought they sent troops and armored vehicles?

Who would've thought that by posting this article people will take me to be a "Ghaddafi Supporter"... I actually say it myself- good riddance that the [Edited Out] is gonna be dethroned... I was simply raising questions about the motives of the oh-so-honest supporters and pioneers of the rebellion who remain masked behind the pretext of "humanitarian intervention". Quite obviously, and unsurprisingly, fools like you refuse to get it through your ever-thick skulls. Ofcourse Ayat. Khamenei and Nasrallah will support the rebellion, but they support it simply because Ghaddafi cannot be allowed to stay. Btw, how much of a payroll are you on from the CIA? You and Rothchild came about the same time, just wondering, is it all worth it?

Not money per se, leads to opportunities to make money (ex. promotion, welfare subsidies, etc.), compared to what opportunities are out there. If you dig a little deeper, most join are lower-middle class. The benefits outweigh most opportunities that exists, some may get lucky. Upper and upper-middle class youths rarely join. Youth unemployment is 20%+, and the most of the ones that do get a job are low paying. Suicide rates are soaring. It's not always black and white. :rolleyes:

wow, that's awesome this site has helped someone!

من صبورى كنم چگونه بر فراق تو صبر توانم كرد و گيرم آنكه بر حرارت آتشت شكيبا باشم چگونه چشم از لطف و كرمت توانم پوشيد يا چگونه در آتش دوزخ آرام گيرم با اين اميدوارى كه به عفو و رحمت بى‏منتهايت دارم بارى به عزتت اى سيد و مولاى من به راستى سوگند مى‏خورم كه اگر مرا با زبان گويا (به دوزخ) گذارى من در ميان اهل آتش مانند دادخواهان ناله همى كنم و بسى فرياد مى‏زنم بسويت مانند شيون گريه كنندگان و بنالم

ضجه و ناله‏اش با چشم انتظار و اميدوارى به رحمت بى‏منتهايت بسوى تو بلند است و به زبان اهل توحيد تو را مى‏خواند و به ربوبيتت متوسل مى‏شود باز چگونه در آتش عذاب خواهد ماند در صورتى كه به سابقه حلم نامنتهايت چشم دارد يا چگونه آتش به او الم رساند و حال آنكه به فضل و كرمت اميدوار است يا چگونه شراره‏هاى آتش او را بسوزاند با آنكه تو خداى كريم ناله‏اش را مى‏شنوى و مى‏بينى مكانش را يا چگونه شعله‏هاى دوزخ بر او احاطه كند با آنكه ضعف و بى‏طاقتيش را مى‏دانى يا چگونه به خود بپيچد و مضطرب بماند در طبقات آتش با آنكه تو به صدق (دعاى) او آگاهى يا چگونه مأموران دوزخ او را زجر كنند با آنكه به صداى يا رب يا رب تو را مى‏خواند يا چگونه به فضل تو اميد آزادى از آتش دوزخ داشته باشد و تو او را به دوزخ واگذارى هيهات كه هرگز چنين معروف نباشد و اين گمان نرود و به رفتار با بندگان موحدت كه همه احسان و عطا بوده اين معامله شباهت ندارد پس من به يقين قاطع مى‏دانم كه اگر تو بر منكران خداييت حكم به آتش قهر خود نكرده و فرمان هميشگى عذاب دوزخ را به معاندان نداده بودى محققا تمام آتش دوزخ را سرد و سالم مى‏كردى و هيچكس را در آتش جاى و منزل نمى‏دادى و ليكن تو اى خدانامهاى مباركت مقدس است و قسم ياد كرده‏اى كه دوزخ را از جميع كافران جن و انس پر گردانى و مخلد سازى معاندان را در آن عذاب و تو را ستايش بى‏حد سزاست كه با وجود آنكه خويش را ثنا گفتى و بهمه انعام نمودى در كتاب خود فرمودى آيا (در آخرت) اهل ايمان با فاسقان يكسانند هرگز يكسان نيستند اى خداى من و سيد من از تو درخواست مى‏كنم به مقام قدر (و آن قدرت ازلى) كه مقدرات

آشكار يا پنهان به جهالت مرتكب شده‏ام و هر بد كارى كه فرشتگان عالم پاك را مأمور نگارش آن نموده‏اى كه آن فرشتگان را به حفظ هر چه كرده‏ام موكل ساختى و شاهد اعمالم با جوارح و اعضاى من گردانيدى و فوق آن

O Light! O All-holy! O First of those who are first and O Last of those who are last! O Allah, forgive me those sins which tear apart safeguards! O Allah, forgive me those sins which draw down adversities! O Allah, forgive me those sins which alter blessings! O Allah forgive me those sins which hold back supplication! O Allah, forgive me those sins which draw down tribulation! O Allah, forgive me every sin I have committed and every mistake I have made! O Allah, verily I seek nearness to Thee through remembrance of Thee, I seek intercession from Thee with Thyself, and I ask Thee through Thy munificence to bring me near to Thy proximity, to provide me with gratitude toward Thee and to inspire me with Thy remembrance. O Allah, verily I ask Thee with the asking of a submissive, abased and lowly man to show me forbearance, to have mercy on me and to make me satisfied and content with Thy appointment and [ make me ] humble in every state. O Allah, I ask Thee with the asking of one whose indigence is extreme, who has stated to Thee in difficulties his need andwhose desire for what is with Thee has become great. O Allah, Thy force is tremendous, Thy place is lofty, Thy deception is hidden, Thy command is manifest, Thy domination is overwhelming, Thy power is unhindered and escape from Thy governance is impossible. O Allah, I find no forgiver of my sins, no concealer of my ugly acts no transformer of any of my ugly acts into good acts but Thee There is no god but Thou!Glory be to Thee, and Thine is the praise!I have wronged myself, I have been audacious in my ignorance and I have depended upon Thy ancient remembrance of me and Thy favour toward me. O Allah! O my Protector!How many ugly things Thou hast concealed! How many burdensome tribulations Thou hast abolished!How many stumbles Thou hast prevented! How many ordeals Thou hast repelled! And how much beautiful praise, for which I was unworthy, Thou hast spread abroad! O Allah, my tribulation is tremendous, my bad state is excessive, my acts are inadequate, my fetters have tied me down, my far-fetched hopes have held me back from my gain and this world with its delusions, my own soul with its offences and my delay have deceived me. O my Master! So I ask Thee by Thy mightnot to let my evil works and acts veil my supplication from Thee, not to disgrace me through the hidden things Thou knowest of my secrets and not to hasten me to punishment for what I have done in private: my evil acts in secrecy, my misdeeds, my continuous negligence, my ignorance, my manifold passions and my forgetfulness. And by Thy might, O Allah, be kind to me in all states and [ be ] gracious to me in all affairs! My God and my Lord! Have I any but Thee from whom to ask removal of my affliction and regard for my affairs! My God and my Protector! Thou put into effect through me a decree in which I followed the caprice of my own soul and did not remain wary of adorning my enemy. So he deluded me through my soul's caprice and therein destiny favoured him So, in what was put into effect through me in that situation, I transgressed some of Thy statutes and disobeyed some of Thy commands. So thine is the argument against me in all of that and I have no argument in what Thy destiny put into effect through me therein nor in what Thy decree and Thy tribulation imposed upon me. Now I have come to Thee, My God, after my shortcoming and my immoderation toward myself, proffering my excuse, regretful, broken, apologizing, asking forgiveness, repenting, acknowledging, submissive, confessing. I find no place to flee from what occurred through me, nor any place of escape to which I may turn in my affairs, other than Thy acceptance of my excuse and Thy entering me into the compass of Thy mercy. O Allah, so accept my excuse, have mercy upon the severity of my affliction and release me from the tightness of my fetters, My Lord, have mercy uponthe weakness of my body, the thinness of my skin and the frailty of my bones. O Thou who gave rise to my creation, to the remembrance of me, to the nurture of me, to goodness toward me and to nourishment on me, bestow upon me for the sake of Thy having given rise [ to me ] with generosity and Thy previous goodness to me! O Allah, my Master and my Lord!Canst Thou see Thyself tormenting me with Thy fire after I have professed Thy Unity and after the knowledge of Thee my heart has embraced, the remembrance of Thee my tongue has constantly mentioned and the love of Thee to which my mind has clung? After the sincerity of my confession and my supplication, humble before Thy lordship? Far be it from Thee! Thou art more generous than that Thou shouldstsquander him whom Thou hast nurtured, banish him whom Thou hast brought nigh, drive away him whom Thou hast given an abodeor submit to tribulation him whom Thou hast spared and shown mercy. Would that I knew, my Master, My God and my Protector, whether Thou wilt give the Fire dominion over faces fallen down prostrate before Thy Tremendousness, tongues voicing sincerely the profession of Thy Unity and giving thanks to Thee in praise, hearts acknowledging Thy Divinity through verification, minds encompassing knowledge of Thee until they have become humble and bodily members speeding to the places of Thy worship in obedience and beckoning for Thy forgiveness in submission. No such opinion is held of Thee! Nor has such been reported - thanks to Thy bounty concerning Thee, O All-generous! My Lord, and Thou knowest my weakness before a little of this world's tribulations and punishments, and before those ordeals which befall its inhabitants, even though it is a tribulation and ordeal whose stay is short, whose subsistence is but little and, whose period is but fleeting. So how can I endure the tribulations of the next world and the great ordeals that occur within it? For it is a tribulation whose period is long, whose station endures and whose sufferers are given no respite, since it only occurs as a result of Thy wrath, Thy vengeance and Thy anger, and these cannot be withstood by the heavens and the earth. O Master, so what about me?!For I am Thy weak, lowly, base, wretched and miserable slave. My God! My Lord! My Master! My Protector!For which things would I complain to Thee, and for which of them would I lament and weep? For the pain and severity of chastisement? Or for the length and period of tribulation? So if Thou takest me to the punishments with Thy enemies, gatherest me with the people of Thy tribulation and separatest me from Thy friends and saints, then suppose, My God, my Master, my Protector and my Lord that I am able to endure Thy chastisement. How can I endure separation from Thee? And suppose that I am able to endure the heat of Thy fire, how can I endure not gazing upon Thy generosity? Or how can I dwell in the Fire while my hope is Thy pardon? So by Thy might, my Master and my protector, I swear sincerely, if Thou leavest me with speech, I will lament to Thee from the midst of the Fire's inhabitants with lamentation of the hopeful; I will cry to Thee with the cry of those crying for help; I will weep to Thee with the weeping of the bereft;And I will call to Thee, Where art Thou, O Sponsor of the believers, O Goal of the hopes of Thy knowers, O Aid of those who seek assistance, O Friend of the hearts of the sincere and O Allah of all the world's inhabitants!Canst Thou see Thyself Glory be to Thee My God, and Thine is the praised hearing within the Fire the voice of a slave surrendered to Thee, imprisoned there because of his violations, tasting the favour of its torment because of his disobedience, and confined within its levels because of his sin and crime, while he laments to Thee with the lament of one hopeful for Thy mercy, calls to Thee with the tongue of those who profess Thy Unity and entreats Thee by Thy lordship! My Protector, so how should he remain in the chastisement, while he has hope for Thy previous clemency? Or how should the Fire cause him pain while he expects Thy bounty and mercy? Or how should its flames burn him, while Thou hearest his voice and seest his place? Or how should its groaning encompass him, while Thou knowest his weakness? Or how should he be convulsed among its levels, while Thou knowest his sincerity? Or how should its keepers torture him while he calls out to Thee, O Lord? Or how should he have hope of Thy bounty in freeing him from it, while Thou abandonest him within it? Far be it from Thee! That is not what is expected of Thee, nor what is well-known of Thy bounty, nor it is similar to the goodness and kindness Thou hast shown to those who profess Thy Unity. So I declare with certainty that were it not for whatThou hast decreed concerning the chastisement of Thy deniers and what Thou hast foreordained concerning the everlasting home of those who stubbornly resist, Thou wouldst make the Fire, all of it, coolness and safety, and no one would have a place of rest or abode within it. But Thou - holy are Thy Names - hast sworn thatThou wilt fill it with the unbelievers, both Jinn and men, and that Thou wilt place those who stubbornly resist therein forever. And Thou majestic is Thy eulogy said at the beginning and wernt gracious through kindness as a favour, (What? Is he who has been believer like unto him who has been ungodly? They are not equai) My God and my Master! So I ask Theeby the power Thou hast apportioned and the decision which Thou hast determined and imposed and through which Thou hast overcome him toward whom it has been put into effect, that Thou forgivest me in this night and at this hour every offence I have committed, every sin I have performed, every ugly thing I have concealedevery folly I have enacted whether I have hidden or announced it, whether I have concealed it or manifested it and every evil act which Thou hast commanded the Noble Writers to record, those whom Thou hast appointed to watch over what appears from me and whom Thou hast made, along with my bodily members, witness against me. And Thou wast Thyself the Watcher over me from behind them, and the Witness of what is hidden from them but through Thy mercy Thou concealed it and through Thy bounty Thou veiled it. [ and I ask Thee ] that Thou bestowest upon me an abundant share of every good Thou sendest down, kindness Thou conferrest, goodness Thou unfoldest, provision Thou spreadest out, sin Thou forgivest or error Thou coverest. My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! My God! My Master! My Protector! Owner of my bondage!O He in whose hand is my forelock! O He who knows my effliction and my misery!O He who is aware of my poverty and indigence!My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! I ask Thee by Thy Truth, Thy Holiness and the greatest of Thy Attributes and Names, that Thou makest my times in the night and the day inhabited by Thy remembrance, and joined to Thy service and my works acceptable to Thee, so that my works and my litanies may all be a single litany, and my occupation with Thy service everlasting. My Master! O He upon whom I depend!O He to whom I complain about my states!My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! Strengthen my bodily members in Thy service, fortify my ribs in determination and bestow upon me earnestness in my fear of Thee and continuity in my being joined to Thy service, so that I maymove easily toward Thee in the battlefields of the foremost, hurry to Thee among the prominent, desire fervently Thy proximity among the fervently desirous, move nearer to Thee with the nearness of the sincere fear Thee with the fear of those who have certitudeand gather with the believers in Thy vicinity. O Allah, whoever desires evil for me desire [ it ] for him! And whoever deceives me deceive him! And make me one of the most excellent of Thy slaves in Portion from Thee, the nearest of them in station to Thee and the most elected of them in proximity to Thee. For that cannot be attained except by Thy bounty. Grant generously to me through Thy munificence, incline toward me with Thy splendour and protect me with Thy mercy! Make my tongue remember Thee without ceasing and my heart enthralled by Thy love! Be gracious to me by answering me favourably, nullify my slips and forgive my lapses! For Thou hast decreed Thy worship for Thy servants, commanded them to supplicate Thee and assured them that they would be answered. So toward Thee, my Lord, I have turned my face; and toward Thee, my Lord, I have extended my hand. So by Thy might, comply with my supplication, and make me attain my desires!Do not, if it pleases Thee, sever my hopes, and spare me the evil of my enemies from among the jinn and men! O He, whose pleasure is quickly achieved!Forgive him who owns nothing but supplication, for Thou dost what Thou wilt. O He whose Name is a remedy, whose remembrance is a cure, and whose obedience is wealth! Have mercy upon him whose capital is hope and whose weapon is tears! O Ample in blessings! O Repeller of adversities!O Light of those who are lonely in the darkness! O Knower who was never taught! Bless Muhammad and Muhammad's household!And do with me what is worthy of Thee! And Allah bless His messenger and the holy Imams of his household and give them abundant peace!

I think you are not allowed to work for zionist companies or sell pork and alcohol. But as for the non hijabi clothes I don't see what the would be a problem....I mean women don't walk around in their home all day in hijab, they wear regular clothes in the house.

I would just like to point out the fact that i have been surscribed tto you and youtube! nice to meat you here !

when shimr wanted to mock bibi zainab (sa), he said her brother died a dishnourable death, alone, thirsty, robbed, his camp plundered, his women in chains, his body trampled, and this was proof he was on the wrong side (because Allah did all that to him for disobeying the caliph (la)) sayyeda zainab (sa) replied "i saw nothing but beauty". these are words, for those who understand

Really? Haven't you heard of the dua sanameye quraish? It starts off by ' O Allah! Curse the two idols of Quraish [Abu Bakr and Umar] and their two daughters [Aisha and Hafsa]'....why is he an embarrassment to the Shia Faith? When Prophet Ibrahim (as) destroyed all the idols he was the only believer at that time. Did that stop him from doing what is right. All of this 'our image is being tarnished' is political. Yasser al Habib is destroying the non physical idols (Abu Baker & co). It is our duty to make people aware of the horrfic crimes they did. They need to be exposed...

I've never seen a bigger NOOB than Jerks4all on Shiachat... LOL nice reply bro Deeeeebo (is the number of e's correct there? :P) btw...

In the past you could have laughed. Now is the time to cry.

Then still love them in humanity but never affirm their wrong choices. Be yourself, don't be like them, but still show the best face of Islam. This calls for more of the need that you present your self as a representative of "rahmat ul lil alimeen" (sawaw).

^ LOL that was a HUGE part of Ramadan bk in the Middle East.. it taste better with the whole family there :P a bit boring when am alone :P

I've witnessed many 3rd generation of runaway iranians after islamic revolution are coming back to islam.

As Salaamu Alaykum brother, all praise is for Allah for guiding us to the straight path. First of all as to your question, yes, there are other schools of thought, however, it is best you don’t bother with them, unless you feel unsure about the school of the family of the Prophet (pbuh), and for your own peace of mind need to look into all the branches of islaam. However, you seem to be of the view that the shi’a faith is the true one, so at this early time, it is best to focus on that, as you gain more knowledge, there are some books that you will undoubtedly read that will answer all you questions about the other schools (Peshawar nights, al muraja’at are examples of such books) As for the tashahhud, it is easy, it is very much like the shahada, so it will be very easy to learn, in fact, you will come to find that even if you don’t have a great gift for memorising things in you r own language, through the grace of Allah, many verses from the Qur’an are very easy to memorise, as are many du’a. “Ash hadu an la ilaha illal lahu wahdahu la sharika lah, wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan 'Abduhu wa Rasuluh, Alla humma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa Ali Muhammad” But i should warn you, that just like with anything, there are different extremes in shi’a islaam, and you will undoubtedly come across some people with very extreme views with regards a lot of things, the imams being all seeing and hearing is one very common one, people cutting themselves and their children as an act of mourning is another, people claiming that the imams control the universe is another I could go on all night, but I don’t want to put you off. But as a revert whom Allah has guided, I think your soul will be your best guide, if something really feels wrong, don’t just accept it, scrutinise from all different angles, our after life is no joke, Imam Ali (as) has spoken on these subjects, he is reported to have said: “two kinds of people will be damned on my account, those who form exaggerated opinions of me and those who underestimate me because the hate me” notice that there is a clause in underestimating him (as), it is hatred, if you study his sayings and decided through logical thought that he doesn’t control the universe (and it turns out he does), you will not be damned, if it turns you he doesn’t, but you say he does, you will be damned, it’s best not to say things about the imams they did not say about themselves. Imam Ali (as) is also reported to have said: “Between truth and falsehood there are four fingers (then he placed his fingers between his eye and his ear) the truth is that which you witness, the falsehood is that which you are told” I recommend you read through these two sights, very traditional, which of course is best http://www.*******.org/ http://www.revivingalislam.com/ this one jsut for fun http://tatbir.org/ I you look on shiachat, there are pages with links to various books and websites of the maraja Sorry, it seems the only shia mosque in finland is in helsinki http://www.hs.fi/eng...i/1135262970438 All the best, insha Allah

Salaam you are also cherry picking whats compatible with your jealousy , for example your saying fasting is good, praying is good, one marriage is good but polygyny is bad!!! your cherry picking because god says: praying is good fasting is good one marriage is good Multiple marriage is good I am sure your uncle will agree with all of the above list and he will not cherry pick but your accusing him of the very thing that you are doing.yourself lol you will cherry pick from the list and say: prayer okay god i agree with you fast okay god i agree with you one marriage okay god i agree with you multiple marriage Sorry god i disagree you made a mistake it doesn't feel compatible with me remember that there is only one thing that prevented the Satan from entering heaven. he said to god that he would follow all the laws except one thing to bow for Adam.... so any woman who says to god " I will follow all of your religion except A or B" is in the same position and would basically grantee herself a placement in hellfire because its against the submission to the will of god. now to claim some one is religious yet he viciously attacks the lifestyle of the prophet???? yes he might be very very religious but religious in which religion? To say they are good for reacting negative is showing your support for the evil because they are attacking the sunnah of the prophets and imams and I dare you to face imam mahdi and tell him " we are hurt and having a normal reaction so divorce your second wife" If you hate what god loves then there is something wrong with God?? or with you? imitating the prophet only in one thing is better than imitating him in nothing and imitating him in nothing is a thousand times better than attacking his way and lifestyle. Whats wrong with imitating the prophet in the things that benefit you? isn't religion there to legitimately benefit you from gods mercy? whats the proof that he cherry picked??? did he say : polygyny is good but prayer is bad? you are cherry picking by saying " prayer is good but polygyny is bad " show me how he cherry picked

sister, i don't want to come across overly judgmental, i fully understand where you are coming from, but as for this brother, that is not called being religous, that is called being a hypocrite, someone with true faith, even if he did not approve would not criticise a person for following the sunnah. We all need to watch our tongues, because they are what send us to hell, criticising a person for immitating the actions of our prophet (pbuh) is the same as criticising our prophet (pbuh), so we need to think about how we will answer Allah on judgment day when asked about why we said or did such things.

Lets be honest, the only reason you think it is fake and fabricated because its about the fadhai'l of the Ahlul Bayt (as) and their true companions, and the one you follow was always keen on reducing Ahlul Bayt (as) to mere mortals.

loo wloo keef to7ki hek wo7od kazob inta .. KAZOB 3m ilok wloo. :lol:

+1 but the question is where will you find a good person, very rare my friend VERY

If it's not him, then Sunnis would find something/someone else to pick on. As long as he brings proof for his claims then it's fine. If we made Shias and Sunnis seem the same then they wouldn't bother searching for the truth. We can co exist with Sunnis, not compromise our beliefs. That's as far as 'unity' goes with them... EDIT: Lets achieve Shia-Shia unity before anything else!

What sincere Muslim would want a fake-Muslim spouse?? Sincere conversion has nothing to do with how much you love a man/woman, it has to do with how much you love GOD. You talk like religion is just another small factor in life and marriage - it's not, it's a HUGE factor and one that cannot be dealt with lightly. As a fellow convert to Islaam and a woman, I find it pretty disgusting, and disturbing, that you even believe that loving someone means you change your beliefs about God for them. If you fell in love with a Christian woman and she wanted you to convert to Christianity for her, would you?? How can you expect her to change her entire way of life and belief system if you won't?? (I'm assuming that you wouldn't of course..)

From the above it seems that you are looking for a partner who is themselves a revert. Why? I realise that within certain communities there is quite a lot of xenophobia, but not all born Muslims are like this. Surely if you attend a centre regularly there will be people there who know your character and know what type of person you are who would be only too happy to assist you in finding a wife. I wish you luck in your search, although I wouldn't limit potential brides to being only 'reverts' themselves. Also, what exactly is a 'revert' - surely you are a 'revert' at the time of conversion only, and thereafter you are a full-blooded-bodied Muslim, no? I find it strange that people cling to this title of 'revert' for the rest of their days, even though they may have entered Islam some thirty, forty years previous.

^THAnnk you so much bro!!
