Allahu Akbar - 34 times, Alhamdulillah - 33 times and Subhanallah - 33 times. This is what we call the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima(a.s.) . The Tasbeeh of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) is from the emphatically recommended acts of worship in the Islamic Shariat. It has immense significance in the eyes of the infallible Imams (a.s.) and the Shiite jurists. It is a simple act of worship from the aspect of performance; however, its effect, reward and merit are abundant. This can be gauged from the fact that when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) wished to impart this act of worship to his daughter Janabe Zahra (s.a.), he declared, ‘O Fatima! I have granted you something that is superior to a maidservant and to the world and everything in it.’ (Aasaar o Asraare Tasbeehe Zahra (s.a.) , Pg. 7) In this context Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) informs, ‘Allah is not worshipped by anything more meritorious than the Tasbeeh of Fatima Zahra (s.a.). Had there been any worship superior to it, most surely the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) would have granted it to Janabe Fatima (s.a.).’ (Wasaaelush Shia , Vol 4 Pg. 1024) Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) says about the dearness of this Tasbeeh in the eyes of the Imams of the Ahlulbayt (a.s.): “Reciting Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) everyday after every Namaz is liked by me more than reciting one thousand rakats of (mustahab) namaz”. (Al-Kafi, Kitabus Salaat) Reciting this Tasbeeh results in forgiveness of sins. In a tradition , Imam Mohammad Baqir (a) says: “One who recites the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) and then seeks forgiveness, will be forgiven”. (Wasaaelush Shia Vol 4, Pg. 1023) It also results in driving Shaitan away and in the satisfaction of Allah as tradition from Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s.) says:“(Reciting Tasbeeh) drives away Shaitan and makes results in the satisfaction of Allah”. (Wasaaelush Shia Vol 4, Pg. 1023) Reciting Tasbeeh regularly delivers the reciter from adversities in this world as well as the hereafter. One of the graceful effects of the regular recitation of the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) is that it delivers the reciter from adversities and hardships in this world as well as the hereafter. Thus one should not ignore its benefits and effects and should not be careless and lazy in its recitation In this connection, Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) says to one of his companions : “ You do adhere to it and be regular about its recitation, for surely one who is steadfast upon its recitation will not encounter adversity.” (Al-Kafi, Kitabus Salaat, Pg. 343) How to recite Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.): According to a tradition from Imam Jafar Sadiq, one should recite Allaho Akbar 34 times, Alhamdolillah 33 times and Subhaanallah 33 times. (Behaarul Anwaar Vol 85, Pg. 334) Reciting Tasbeeh immediately after Namaz Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) should be recited immediately on completion of Namaz. This entails that as soon as the reciter has finished the Namaz, he should remain seated in the same position of Tashahud without moving his feet and doing any other thing, immediately he should commence the recitation of the Tasbeeh. The reciting of Tasbeeh immediately on completion of Namaz has a special excellence, which is not there otherwise. The above statement can be evidenced by the following tradition of Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) wherein he states: “One who recites the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) before even moving his feet, Allah will forgive him..” (At-Tahzeeb of Shaikh Toosi (r.a.) , Vol 2, Pg. 105) Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) has said : “One who recites the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) after a wajib namaz before he stretches out his legs ( i.e. he recites the Tasbeeh while he is in the posture of Tashahud) , then Jannat becomes wajib upon him” (Falaahus Saael by Ibne Taaoos (r.a.), Pg. 165) Another tradition from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) says: “One who glorifies Allah after the obligatory prayer through the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.), and then follows it up by saying ‘Laa elaaha illallaho’, Allah will forgive his sins.” (Al-Kafi, Kitabus Salaat, Pg. 342) Reciting the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) before sleeping Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) says : “One who recites the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) at the time of going to bed, he will be accounted amongst those who have remembered Allah a lot.” (Wasaaelush Shia Vol 4, Pg. 1026) In the book ‘Wasaaelush Shia’ there is a tradition from Imam Mohammad Baqir (a) which says that at the time of going to bed, Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.)and then Maoozatain (Surah Falaq and Surah Naas) and Ayatul Kursi should be recited. Teaching the recitation of Tasbeeh to the children In this connection, Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) says : “ O Abu Haroon! We order our children to recite the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.)in the same manner as we order them for the performance of Namaz ” (Al-Kafi, Kitabus Salaat, Pg. 343) Reciting Tasbeeh made out of the Turbah of grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) It is better that the Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) be made of the pure Turbah (soil) of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) It has been narrated from Imame Zamana (a.t.f.s.), “ One who just holds the Tasbeeh made out of the soil of the grave of Imam Husain (a) and does not do any Zikr, even then for him will be written the reward of having recited the Azkaar” (Wasaaelush Shia Vol 4, Pg. 1033) Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) says : “One zikr or Isteghfaar recited on the Tasbeeh made out of the soil of the grave of Imam Husain (a) is equal to 70 such zikr recited on any other thing.” (Wasaaelush Shia Vol 4, Pg. 1033) Some noteworthy points: 1. One of the conditions of worship, rather the most important of them all, is being attentive in its performance. This is specially so in the recitation of Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.).2. There should be continuity in the recitation of the Tasbeeh without any interruptions. This has been the practice of our holy Imams (a.s.) (Al- Kaafi, Kitaabus Salaat, Pg. 343 )1. In case one has a doubt regarding the number of Azkaar that he has recited, then he should start again. This is according to a tradition from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) (Al- Kaafi, Kitaabus Salaat, Pg. 342 ) Thus, by the grace of Allah and the blessings of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) , we have come to realize the importance of reciting Tasbeeh of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.) and its merits. We pray to Allah to grant us the Taufeeq that we may be regular in its recitation.

Mashaa'Allah. Man, just imagine if we all had that level of love what it'd be like. We'd be a toothless Ummah mashaa'Allah.

Tue Sep 6, 2011 8:22AM GMT Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has lashed back at French President Nicolas Sarkozy over his recent 'threats' against the Islamic Republic. Sarkozy's latest “threats arise from ignorance and clumsiness in his choice of words, something that the French president unfortunately suffers from,” said General Vahidi on Monday, quoted by IRIB. Last Wednesday, Sarkozy warned that Iranian 'attempts' at building long-range missiles and “nuclear weapons” could lead unidentified countries to launch 'pre-emptive strikes' against the Islamic Republic. The Iranian defense minister dismissed Sarkozy's remarks as 'cheap talk' and noted that such rhetoric by the French president has long been discredited. He further identified Sarkozy's threats as an attempt to cover up the 'crimes they now commit in the world in efforts to sway public opinion over the war in Libya.' General Vahidi's comments come on the heels of Iran's Foreign Ministry's denunciation of the 'unrealistic remarks' by Sarkozy on Iran's nuclear program. Sarkozy's accusations against Iran comes as the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections on Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Iran's nuclear program has been diverted to a non-civilian application.

Just a quick point here, but since when is having nine different people narrate from you a "small number"? We wouldn't really know how many students he had, just that there would be that many ruwwat from him in our books. But nine is hardly a small number when you consider most times chains will tend to be the same people from the same people repeatedly (e.g. Hammad from Hariz from Zurara, etc.) Anyway, this is just a clear example of how fragile and weak building one's religion on this construct really is. Instead of thereby "weakening" a narrator of indubitable character, the strength of the system itself is what should be coming under greater scrutiny here.

Which is the best looking architecture on a mosque you've seen. Could be a specific mosque or a type of regional architecture common among mosques in a particular area. Personally, I enjoy the look of Russian mosques:

alhamdulillah, great to hear that White Skies :) me too having about the same experience, after reading a few books at this website www.al-islam.org, wow, i feel as if i have transformed into a new person (in a positive sense :D) Alhamdulillah, but yeah i'm sure our dear sister here already have the spirit of Islam and we can see from the way she's trying her best to struggle towards Allah- alhamdulillah, and yep we are here too trying our best to share , inshaallah may Allah grant us goodness in this world and the hereafter :) Mustafa, yep agree with what you said, we should help each other out to attain success i.e. to attain Allah's pleasure, if we find somebody who kind of lagging behind, then we should help them to join us (unless he keeps refusing-well what can we do-at least we try our best to help) and yep, we should encourage each other to keep striving towards Allah, good point bro :) Hayati, i love this words of yours : "I do not want a husband, I want a soulmate who is my best friend" lovely + wonderful + accurate + what else can i say? :D wish everyone success,

You say you have pretty reliable sources but then you don't provide the sources? I am free to choose what i want and i want to choose medicine thats actually been shown to work and doctors who haven't been criminally prosecuted or believe theories that are way outside what has been proven to be true. It's also my obligation as someone who has studied and understand these things to make it clear to people who haven't had similar training and this guy clearly isn't a great doctor... Feel free to infect yourself with HIV and see if you don't get AIDs according to his theory if you really, actually, trust in this guy though..Just saying..not a very good doctor or source at all that guy..

Well, I am in a rush, so I will respond later on your query, but did the angels not talk to lady Maryam (as) who was not a 'Holy Prophet' and told her what to say when asked about her child (i.e to point at the child)?

(bismillah) (salam) Brother, imagining the above mentioned makes my heart shake... Yesterday I had a talk with a young sheikh from Qom about this matter... He said it is really not so important to see Imam Mahdi (a) or not... He said think of Umar and Abu Bakr who saw the Holy Prophet (sal) every day but didn't understand a iota about him (sal)... Very true... May Allah bless those who belief in His messenger (sal) and His imams without ever seeing them and even 1000 years after they were alive. ma'a salama, Ihsaan

Lately I have been meeting few people that are experiencing the "Great" Muslim phase.. I am not sure if you guys have met any, but let me tell you about them: 1- they used to neglect religion maybe even do HUGE sins at one point (but who hasn't?) 2- they suddenly got some sort of a "wake up call" 3- they started reading every Hadeeth, and getting the direct meaning without even going in depth. 4- they watched few lectures and highlighted good Islamic values.. SO FAR, it sounds like mashallah they have repented and they are going to the path of Allah, but here where it gets messed up! - they get ignorant - they think they are VERY knowledgeable in all parts of Islam WORST OF ALL -they wash everything humanly and nice out of Islam, and become DRY, emotionless beings where they take Islam VERY literal and make it a BORING, DEPRESSING way of life! FORGETTING an amazing part of Islam.. MORALS and good conduct! SubhanAllah, being nice to others, polite, and understand go off the window.. AND half the Muslims around them are not good enough.. Imam Sadiq says "ßæäæÇ ÏÚÇÉð áäÇ ÈÛíÑ ÃáÓäÊßã" "be our messengers with your actions not with your tongues" Being KIND, nice, and understanding is a crucial part of Islam, and above all looking at everyone as an equal is essential coz let's be honest you can't really be sure this person is less than you.. maybe that person isn't seemingly religious, but does better actions.. who knows! SOOOO, have you guys seen such people? and how would you give them ANOTHER wake up call to convince them that actions speak louder than words? :)

I was once really fond of this man and his inter-religious debates. After finding out how much of a hardcore Nasibi he is, and how he sympathized with a mass-murdering [Edited Out]head like Osama bin Laden (LA), I sent the same La'anat I send on all the Sunni Idols.

Jamkaran Mosque In Iran :

Phillipines: Vietnam: Old Chinese Mosque:

(bismillah) (salam) This tends to be accompanied by A LOT of arrogance. Good examples: "We are Ahlus Sunnah wal Jam'aa'ah. We are on the Haqq and everyone else is on the baatil. This person is deviant and that person is a mushrik and she is a prostitute and he is a mudallis and this scholar is calling to the gates of Jahannam and that scholar is a jaahil and I've refuted this person and I've refuted that person and I know the Haqq because I read Kitaab al-Tawheed and have Sahih al-Bukhaari on my bookshelf" Or a Shia example: "We are the followers of Ahl al-Bayt and everyone else is a nasibi/bakri/muqassir/ghulat/wahhabi and i've listened to more of Sayyid Nakshawani's lectures more than anyone else here and LANAT ON EVERYONE ELSE!!!(add extra exclamation marks)" A common theme we generally find is that these well-meaning brothers and sisters have spent a lot of their time gaining a lot of knowledge very quickly and may be more knowledgeable than most people in their area, but they don't realize that they are still ignorant about many things and they don't realize how ignorant they are. i think this is something that a lot of people who search for knowledge (talab al-'ilm) go through, especially when they don't study under a qualified Shaykh so when they get some knowledge and come across some evidences, they think that they are correct and that everyone else is wrong. Yet they are completely unaware of all of the other evidences out there that more strongly the complete opposite view that they have developed. This is something i have been guilty of and try my best to control (and i seek forgiveness for saying so many things without knowledge) and it's important that every person realizes the dangers of what Sister Wonderer is saying before it destroys them. There's something called "Salafi Burnout" where these guys keep going and going until they go over the edge and either go way extreme (ie join al-Qaeda, etc), or are reduced to a mere shell, or stop practicing or leave Islam altogether. Even though it's called "Salafi Burnout", it can happen to any of us. A person can only go on for so long ignorantly spreading falsehood and being mean and arrogant before they are reigned in. And the punishment of the hereafter is even greater, if only we knew. Humility, sincerity, and avoiding disagreements can go a long way in our relationship with AllahÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì There's a beautiful hadith that says: إنه من لا يَرحم، لا يُرحم Surely the one who doesn't have Mercy (for others), won't [be shown] Mercy. And something to remember, the scholars sometimes spend months or even years (or even decades) researching a subject and sometimes at the end of all that, when they comment on the subject, they still realize that there's more to that subject that they don't know and they end their comment with "Allah knows best" Yet we just do a quick Google search and think that we have the right answer subhanAllah May Allah(swt) forgive us and guide us amen And Allah(swt) knows best

(salam) 1. Not at all. Imam Ali عليه السلام was a SLAVE of Allah and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is GREATER than Imam Ali in rank 2. No. Nubuwwat stopped with the greatest Nabi, Nabi Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم 3. Not sure, but the Quran talks about the wives of other prophets going to hell so just because someone is a wife of the Prophet it does not mean they are necessarily good. 4. Shia have a problem with Uthman and the first 2 because they believe that they took a position that was not rightfully theirs. 5. Not sure

Truth. Sayed Ammar Nakshawani told me all this. Zakir Naik's sister and her husband contacted Sayed Ammar for advice on what to do because he keeps calling them mushriks and kaffirs. They told SAN to debate ZN (especially about Naik's comments about Yazid). Sayed Ammar accepted but Naik declined because "history isn't his speciality" and he only focusses on dawah. If you still don't believe me, then watch this from 2:54 until 4:09 where Sayed Jan Ali Kazmi's son talks about one of Zakir Naik's "relatives" getting verbal abuse from Naik. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr8Pe1Ll56w

First, you need to assess and make sure there's nothing that can reasonably be done to fix it, or that you're not interested in fixing it. If you have kids, take a second or third look before acting. If you're settled and serious about it though and you've discussed it and you're settled on the idea, and don't feel there's any fixing it you then have to figure out what type of divorce you're dealing with. In case you don't know, there are three types: 1. Talaq (initiated by the man) 2. Khula' (Initiated by woman because she feels hatred for her husband) 3. Mubara'a (Mutually the two come to despise each other) You say she is "OK" with divorce. That's pretty non-descriptive. Does she actively dislike you? Is she just indifferent, sort of resignedly saying, "well, if he wants to divorce me, what can I do?" If the active pull for divorce is coming mostly from you, and she is just going along with it, not feeling a strong pull to try to talk you out of it but not hating you either, then it would probably be a talaq divorce. You make a few pronouncements in front of witnesses over a period of time, she keeps her mahr (or you pay it if you haven't already, and you walk away from each other). Definitely you would want to get some documentation, particularly if you're registered with the state - a parallel civil divorce process would also be involved. In terms of costs of civil divorce, depends on how civilly you can agree to part. If you agree and there's no dispute, it will probably cost a few hundred pounds in lawyer fees, and there are formalities to jump through, but it's straightforward. If you have disputes with her, costs go up, WAAYYYYY up. Can't tell you who to speak to in UK to do this.

To stand baynul haramayn

Salaams. Its a majalis at a centre... Muhammedi trust i think.

That is beautiful. This will happen soon:

The way I work is that if I know someone personally and I believe that they are credible and I can see that they need the money, that's the first group I would give money to. After that if I personally know someone and believe them to be credible and they say they know someone else, then I will give money to that person. As far as far-away representatives and offices are concerned, I know that the Khoja Imambara in Stanmore, for example, offer to send money there and get an official receipt. I trust the CoEJ to the extent that I believe that whoever their counterparty is, it will be someone who will be spending money in an honest way. Bear in mind that when I say "credible" I mean not only someone who is honest, but also who is competent at what they do and who in my opinion do not run their activities in a wasteful manner.

Thanks salafi_strangler for the information. :D

I'm not a convert , don't like having male friends, and I advise revert sisters to be wary from men through the Internet. It is better for them to go to mosques or islamic centers to find good muslim husbands.

Ghormeh Sabzi I used the normal Persian recipes that were available but just substituted coriander for parsley and lemon juice for dried lemons due to unavailability. Ingred: 2 cups cilantro/coriander finely chopped 1 1/4 cup spinach finely chopped 1/4 cup dried fenugreek 4-5 green onions(green part only) finely chopped 1 cup red kidney beans 3-4 medium sized lemons 1 cup boneless chicken chopped in cubes( i used this instead of red meat) 1 onion chopped 1 1/2 tsp turmeric Water as needed salt and black pepper to taste Oil as needed Method: 1.Wash and drain the red beans and then cook them until tender. I used pressure cooker so it took less then 40 minutes, it might take more if you boil them without it. You can also used canned beans to save time.Once cooked drain them and set aside. 2.Fry all the green herbs/veggies in oil. Don't over fry them as you don't want them to get burnt, it might leave a bitter taste. Cook and set aside. 3.In another pan, heat some oil and fry the onion till golden brown. Take care to not leave it too white as it wouldn't give a nice color to the dish. Also don't burn the onions. 4.Add chicken to it and fry. Then add turmeric and fry the mixture. Don't let the turmeric burn, cook it enough so that the raw flavor of turmeric is removed. 5.Now add all the green veggies.Add lemon juice and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. 6.Add 2 cups of water and let it simmer for almost 2 hours. 7.Serve hot with persian rice. From all the recipes and videos i watched everyone advised that this dish tasted better the next day, so if you want, eat it the next day...=). Enjoy!

See. Thats another problem! Quickly being accused of following western ideology! This has nothing to do with western ideology! Even after imam zaman comes, we will have christians, jews, zoroastrians etc etc! Imam zaman is killed AFTER he controls the whole world by a JEW woman! This is tolerance; respecting other ppls thoughts, without accusing them of "western ideology" or "muhareb" or "munafiq" etc etc. Its actually ISLAMIC ideology! But not allowing ppl to criticize is more what western Gvmts would support in dictator countries like Libya! See, if ur kind of thought is taken to saudi arabia, malek Abdulah ale saud is also uncriticizable because who are we to criticize him?! Problem: We're not even allowing internal people to talk about our religion! In the last thirty years, how many protests have you seen in iran which was against what the gvrmt or regime wants?!!! How many?! Even if there have been any, the state TV alhamdulelah has said NOTHING about it! When u cant criticize you cant say hey! We're Torturing prisoners here in iran! Do smth about it! because "who are we to criticize"?! Then, after thirty years, this country STILL has torturing in its political prisons!

wa alaykom salam have you read light within me yet ? if not then do so, there is an arif who gives qu'ran tafseer lessons who broadcasts live his class at al mahdi institute i can give a link if you want? they use to show philosophy class have not watched for a while to know if they are back though. May Allah help the traveling towards his mercy ameen

^True. Angels also talked to a lot of other non-Prophet people as well. It's a pretty normal thing to happen. Examples would be Prophet Musa's (a) mother and Sara, the wife of Prophet Isma`eel Úáíå ÇáÓáÇã. Several traditions report Jibra`eel (a) appearing in the form of a person in front of everyone during the time of the Prophet (pbuh). Also, to correct a couple of things: There was no 'divine inspiration'. Sure, one of the functions of Jibra`eel (a) was to serve as a messenger to carry Allah's (swt) messages to the prophets, but that's just what it was: one of the functions. Jibra`eel (a) was sent to Sayyida Fatima [a] to console her after the death of her father, not to give her messages from Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì. She did not write the book herself. Imam Ali (a) did. wa (salam)

Salams, Just try your best to communicate what you intentions are and don't lie or misrepresent anything. You should mention the word 'mutah' and if he wants to know what it is, you need to give him whatever information you can. Also, you have to understand something, and this will be very important for your future life. It is infinitely better for you in this life and the next to lose this relationship with this girl (you will find another one because Allah(s.w.a) is Merciful) than to get it by any kind of lying (by commission or omission) or deception. The relationship (and the benefits you get from it ) might be over tomorrow, but the effect of the sin of lying or deception will be around your neck for a long, long time and it may have severe consequences for her family and/or yours. The definition of tayyibah (good things) is that they are halal, tahir, and given freely without any deception. If they are not tayyibah, then they are not worth the price you will pay to get them. So if you can get it by being fully honest and getting his permission, this it is good to do it, otherwise, no. This is why doing mutah with a virgin is very problematic and some marjaa say it is makrooh. One of the reasons might be that there is a big tendency and incentive for the man to deceive the father and misrepresent his intentions in order to get the relationship. You are a man so I don't have to explain this issue any further. Also, some men will give the permission just to please their daughter but the results could be devestating for the family. This might not apply to your situation, but it is something to consider. Please consider it. Also, before you ask, do a role reversal exercise. Pretend that you are her father (with the same religion, thought, opinion, etc ) as he has, as much as you know. Know pretend that there is a guy who is a different religion coming to ask something about your daughter. How would you want him to ask you (as her father) and what information would you want him to share with you. I think after you do that, things will become more clear to you. Salams,

sarkozy is a fool, simply, a question needs to be asked, if nations such as the US, Israel etc can hold nuclear weapons, why is it illegal for any other nation to do so? then people argue that, they are sensible etc and will not ever launch, but america has done it in the past twice? israel has shown the world that it does not care for civilian lives? what has iran done? and when the iyatullahs are saying they will never drop a nuclear bomb on any nation as it is against our ways and teachings, does the word of man not count for anything any more? ignorant fools they are, inshallah imam mahdi (as) will come quickly! (bismillah)

Why has this turned into a hate thread? Every country has its downfall, every country has been corrupt at one point or another and yes sometimes there may be more negatives than positives. But who cares? Everybody has a reason to be proud of where they come from - it is what makes you YOU. It is what makes us different but brings us together. Is it our problem we were born the place we were? What is wrong with loving your homeland? All people have reasons as to why they love their country so much, and individually as a Lebanese person - I love my country because of what it has accomplished and the courage that our country has demonstrated to those who have no morals. Pakis should be proud of themselves, same with Iranians, same with Syrians etc. I disagree with those saying that it's better than the rest and we have nothing to be ashamed of, because in this corrupt world that's pretty inevitable. Everyone who's boasting about Lebanon's downfalls, grow up. In the end, you're all Allah (swt)'s creation, and even though you are different, you are the same. So quit hatin' ^_^

(salam) Whos the commander of the faithful? Imam Ali (as) So your saying abbas (as) said to Imam Ali (as) about Imam Ali (as) "decide (the dispute) between me and this sinful, treacherous, dishonest liar " Doesnt Make Sense So yes I accept the last part and the first part. Any more tricks you wanna try to pull to say this hadith doesnt say anything bad about Umar? For Gods sake Imam Ali (as) is still part of the "4 rightly guided caliphs" in your view. And its in your Sahih book and if the incident in Sahih Bukhari is differing with the incident in Sahih Muslim then that means one is wrong. If one is wrong then who knows which other hadiths are correct and which arent. Thus you can then no longer claim every single hadith in your books to be sahih and this will crumble the school of Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jama'ah as you take Sahih Bukhari to be the most authentic after the Qur'an and get alot of your information on Islam from there. And Sahih Muslim to be the most authentic after Sahih Bukhari and again you get alot of information on Islam from there. Edit : I just looked for the hadith and it doesnt mention Imam Ali (as) in brackets after the part where hes name was in brackets. http://hadithcollection.com/sahihmuslim/147-Sahih%20Muslim%20Book%2019.%20Jihad%20and%20Expedition/12752-sahih-muslim-book-019-hadith-number-4349.html (wasalam)

(salam) Don't you realize jealousy is part of a healthy marriage?! Aisha and Hafsa were jealous because they loved the Prophet too much! [/sarcasm] (salam) I would like to add to number 4. Usman's biggest point of negativity is his favoritism and nepotism when it came to governor offices and other important official posts. He paved way for Banu Umayyah's reign of terror, and sowed the seeds to the biggest debacle of "Islamic Government", ultimately leading up to events such as the Tragedy of Karbala. How can we not hate him? In fact, do the Sunnis realize that the biggest source of opposition to Usman was their very own mother Aisha? How she referred to him as a Jew and called for his abdication? Do you Sunnis know why that is so? Look into it. Then come back and talk.

If there weren't people arguing against Taqlid, Ijtihad and Khums, this thread wouldn't be 10 pages long.

Man, just the fact that there's Sulfur Dioxide in the ingredients should trigger red-warning alerts to stick well away!

Don't get me started on monarchy, Flowers. :!!!:

LOL okay you make me laugh and that was hilarious...BUT why do you people engage in these debates with no intention to change your opinion on the matter? lets be honest baradar, youre never going to become an anti WF so why do you keep entering debates with people and why do people enter debates with him if NONE OF YOU will change your opinion!! its just pointless and leads to unnecessary fitnah. so just keep your opinions and be tolerant, only approach open minded people.

basically means "no question about it", "don't even go there", "undeniable", "not for re-assessment". It just puts an emphasis on the haram'ness'. So what you're doing according to the pseudo-akhbaris is haram, without question.

Nahhh she doesnt like AyatAllah Khomeini.

Now there's a first.

Hmm, so I wonder when this guy's going to stop talking and start fighting :donno:

Of all the British newspapers that I read, the Guardian seems to have a consistent agenda of regularly publishing anti-Iranian pieces. Much more so in comparison to its coverage of any other middle eastern country. Iran is not perfect but the level of coverage seems hugely disproportionate in comparison to others, who are no angels.

(salam) I think this may be common, he's probably at a time in his life where he has a lot on his mind. The society is too fast paced, there's not enough time to slow down. Although this behaviour is not a good thing. It seems to me that he has a lot on his mind and he may not be progressing the way he wants to be. So he may be handling this passively (which is not a good thing) as sand goes through the hour glass. Does he watch a lot of TV? and does he show signs in general that he may be frustrated? is he always thinking seriously, or in a serious mood? these are signs of frustration, and unhappiness. Is he not doing the things that he wants to do? ie. reaching goals, accomplishing things, etc. Is he where he wants to be in life? If he is distracted all the time by his phone, the TV, or being on the computer, it's not a good thing. It's being passive, and somewhat a kind of depression I think. Unless he's working on the computer, and he handles his phone for work/business. I'm not a psychiatrist, but these are my 2 cents. Sometimes a man needs his space.</p> ws
