I haven't watched the video yet, however, some points/examples: 1. Under a traditional hijabi context, women were able to live a life of complete non interaction with na mahrims to the extent of not going to markets (souq) which are places of some form of indignity to a woman. In some places in the world, this standard is still practicable to an extent (like in my town, women of particular classes consider it shameful and a lack of gheera to enter a market). However, in many places in the world, it is no longer considered so. 2. Living alone/traveling alone 3. Going to work The two points above require a strong social system in place, such that a woman would never be necessitated and therefore never be permitted to travel or live alone or go to work outside the house. This included strong observance of kinship ties including going to live with a brother or uncle if one's dad had passed on, having eunuchs to accompany women where necessary, a baytul maal available to cater for widows, orphans etc. 4. Niqab compulsory for noble women. There was a time when the higher the social status of a woman (including her family even if no longer as wealthy) the more stringent the hijab required of her. Now, depending on where one lives, even a woman of high social status may not be able to observe full high level hijab, while a woman of relatively lower class may be in a position to observe a higher level of hijab. 5. Woman addressing men in solo voice (not singing ). Some times, under current educational and work systems, a woman may be forced to speak to men or infront of men. We must remember that though Sayyida Zaynab addressed the court of yazid el laeen, before that, even her male neighbors had never heard her voice, and some say that the ahlulbayt mourned the stripping of the social hijab of the women of ahlulbayt and not their complete physical hijab e.g stripping of niqabs (not hijab) and being made to go on camels without a howdah and paraded through markets (Allahummal3an the parties who did this ila yowmid deen). Ofcourse even a woman forced to speak to men must do so in a non softened firm voice, avoid social niceties, avoid making jokes and wittiness, and keep it brief while avoiding gestures and body movements. So both physical and social hijab can evolve over time, but the bare minimal can never be crossed (which is what our ahkaam specifies) and which is normally practicable even in non hijabi societies. We must also keep in mind principles in ahkaam such as migration to (land of) kufr, and what impact it can/will have on our hijab and then make the necessary adjustments e.g by not living in such places, or picking towns/countries which are friendlier towards hijab.

May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) be pleased with all the sahaba that remained loyal, just and truthful towards the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his purified progeny) and his purified family (peace be upon them all). We, the (Shia) Muslims, honour, respect and remember great sahaba such as; Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, Anas ibn al-Harith al-Kahili, Hujr ibn Adi, Adi ibn Hatim al-Ta’i, Jariya ibn Qudama and others (may Allah be pleased with them all). These are the sahaba that our Imams (peace be upon them all) spoke and speak of, not the traitorous, deceitful and hateful ones.

In the video Sayed Kamal Haydari appears to have drifted away from the mainstream opinion in regards to hijab and is stating that such matters pertaining to jurisprudence evolve with time. It is unclear to me exactly what is meant when discussing matters pertaining to the hijab which is evolving, for indeed hijab comes in many forms and if he is referring to the hijab which guards the woman against the eyes of men, then I don't see how such a hijab could evolve with time for the deviant temptations that arise from the forbidden look are indeed universal through time and it is imperative in my belief that one maintains the respective hijab which was taught to us by the ladies of Ale-Muhammad. However, if he is referring to the hijab pertaining to interaction then I believe that some points are plausible, but in the end isn't hijab really a matter which is unchanging when referring to the traditions of the Ahlulbayt and rather the restrictions imposed are due to a cultural influence not merely a religious one. What are your thoughts?

Salams to all, and Ramadan Mubarak to you and your families. I hope you are all well. im having troubles gaining my connection with Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). When I do gain it, it suddenly goes after a week or two. if anyone has read one of my previous posts I was engaged to someone who I found mentally abused me, if you haven’t read my post I’ll give a small recap. before I was engaged to my ex, I was so in Love with Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and Ahlulbayt, I was obsessed with them, I would watch lectures, research, everything, I used to reject when someone tells me to watch a movie because of how much I was so into religion, that I had no interest in movies or games whatsoever. when I met my ex, things were good in the beginning, after about 3 months of getting to know him, there were changes, he would interact less with me, point out all the negative I done, if I “spoke” to loud he would tell me to shush, he put a curfew on me, always wanted to know my whereabouts, if I wore something he didn’t like he would tell me, when he used to come to my house and I was dressed normal because I’m in my home (like a scarf and plain dress) he would tell me to go buy new cloths, his mother also had put my down about my Arabic, my weight, she would buy me clothes 4x my dress size lol, she would ask me weird questions like if I knew how to clean, it was abit humiliating for me. but what killed me the most if that he would get between me and my religion, he would force dua, religious lectures, mustahab salah, and salatul layl upon me, if I didn’t do it he would force me off the phone so I can do it, I found I was doing it for him and not for Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), and I had spoken to him about it and told him to stop asking me to do these things because it’s between me and Allah and it’s not spiritual anymore. He would agree, stop for a day but at night would start asking again. he had also mentioned how he would want me closer to my religion, which hurt because before him I had this beautiful connection which is hard for me to regain, everytime I try to do something for Allah (dua, sala etc. ) I tend to feel not much of a connection as much as I would. Sometimes I still feel to this day I’m doing it because of him sometimes I cry about this issue and ask Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to bring me closer to him, and the next week you’ll see that I don’t care much (sad to say) like I would just watch movies all day and whenever I would watch a lecture i would feel anxious and annoyed. I really don’t want to point fingers on someone else for my connection with Allah, but this is what happened to me, I really don’t know what to do or how to feel anymore. I would love to hear all of your experiences/advice. I’m struggling a lot with this issue and I’m so stuck :/ thank you all

They've asked before what was going on, and I explained it as "If I am incorrect, but I had read that..." and the owners seemed somewhat grateful that I was making an effort, but her husband (the main owner guy) talks to me a lot more now and has even done the "So what do you do on Fridays? If you're ever free, I'd like to give you a ride to the masjid" despite knowing that I identify as a Christian. I don't physically cover my eyes with my hands though, but I could get away with it if need be because I have trouble looking people in the eye anyway due to the whole autism spectrum thing (it doesn't feel very good for me and I can only hold a gaze for a few seconds). I guess it doesn't bother people because they can see my intention and are aware that I don't know much of anything about Islam besides what I'd previously picked up from sunni coworkers/classmates & Massomeh in the 10th grade. You try to accommodate people and they generally are appreciative.

Masha'Allah. 100% This could be going a little too far. You can look at her face without lust. Unimportantly, prior to this, it was look at her face on first glance, but not more after that. Unimportantly, prior to that, it was don't look at her face at all. [Citations needed, but I read it from a Shia source at some point]. Anyways, we all know what it means to be professional (in this modern culture). Look at her professionally. Also, I hope you don't physically cover your eyes with your hands, that sounds embarassing for yourself not gonna lie.

Ws, I would not goto these people for religious guidance and try stick to books by credible authors. Imam 'Ali said it is very important of who you take your deen from and he took it from none other than Muhammad (s). A lot of these people you have named are just angry young men who aren't even sure in their own beliefs, although they would make you think the otherwise. They will spend day and night taunting Shias but their own books are filled with as much nonsense, the only difference is that they call their books "Sahih" or "Authentic" :D Remember, the Khawarij who fought Imam 'Ali (عليه السلام) would fast day and night and recite the Quran in the best tone, but they were the most hypocritical of all people. My sincere advice my brother is to seek knowledge from credible sources and people who are respectable and of good character. If you are interested in a topic try go to a credible source like a traditional Sunni or Shia scholar or academic - the key is that you want someone with good character and just character. Avoid Salafi/Wahhabis, despite their popularity these days they have always been rejected as deviant by the majority of the Sunni school.

really Idk I just assume with the Khomeini (رضي الله عنه) picture habib is a brother. then If @habib e najjaar is female inshllah another husband.

Brother do you think Imam jafar a,s has view different than that mentioned in the verses of Quran for the companions? Do you think hadith should not be judged in the light of verses of Quran? The following link may be seen for further information about this topic regarding the companions: https://www.shiachat.com/forum/topic/235015369-does-the-quran-disrespect-the-sahaba/ wasalam

Salam many Shias look up for future Khilafah by divine infallible khalifah the 12th Imam , Imam Mahdi (aj) that all shia dynasties & kings are just have rule of safeguarding shia community until reappearance of Imam Mahdi (aj) that Buyids were first dynasty of safeguards from out of Imamate lineage that after centuries gave shias to perform their rituals in public without fear that their agenda followed by Safavids that provide safe environment for promoting shia community & great scholars that during Qajar dynasty we faced many disasters but survived as shia country when Ottomans is fallen & perished but Qajar era was like a dark age of spreading superstitions in name of religion & loosing many wars against modern world then during Pahlavi era we started modernization of Iran but when Pahlavis started standing against Shia Islam then people revolted against them anyway we don't recognize definition of Sunnis (wahabists) from Islamic state but we still seek for divine Islamic state by it's infallible leader , the Imam Mahdi (aj)

Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! The division was due to the difference of belief of who is the Caliph after the Holy Prophet, after the two groups split you began to see the lengthy history he is referring to. The difference is an important matter of creed, and was one which sought to preserve the Orthodox teachings and guidelines of the Prophet unlike the historical analogy he is drawing in regards to the Churches. Shias are considered heretics because they threaten the narrative that is being pushed that benefits political and monarchical rulers, who hide under the guise of Sunni Islam. I think its more of Ziio-U.S thing against Iran where the Arab nations are its puppets. As for it being to close to home in regards to conflicts we can draw a plethora of anecdotal instances and entertain the varying possibilities, but when we look at things through a lens which is seeking the truth in regards to the rightful Caliph after the Prophet it is quite evident and those who usurped it unjustly from Imam Ali have passed on their traditions in this struggle for power. As for those who seek intra-faith dialogue like such Sunni communities he referred to then inshallah such doctrinal matters can continue to be discussed. So yes it was a Sunni-Shia divide, but more of a ploy against Imam Ali, however, there will always be those who seek the truth and those who seek power and after one is able to sift through such matters they can reach the necessary conclusions.

Oh dont worry brother/sister,i dont follow anything blindly especially in case of religion and try to research stuff and i try to avoid unfamiliar or untrusted websites and for laws i usually stick with my marja As for my doubts,well it depends, one for example was the compilement of the quran i didnt have much knowledge about it and another was about some verses on the quran And of course i do meet some ignorant people on the internet and sometimes i dont have an answer and that creates doubt in me too.

Doubts about what? If you could clarify, we could try to help. It’s good that you seek knowledge, just make sure you do it from established and credible sources. These days there’s a lot of nonsense and propaganda on the internet.

Asslamun aleykum. How are you friends

I am disappointed after watching this video. I talk very little, especially in front of men. This becomes a big issue at every place I work and also with my family and when I go for ziarat. I was always shy but in recent years, I have lost my confidence due to bullying. I always thought I could use social hijab as an excuse. But even muslims think that my behavior is abnormal and I used to think that muslims should understand my behavior. I guess the definition of hijab is really changing.

In these two sentences, you have managed to make more sense out of Islam for me than the works of any scholar that I have ever read or any words spoken to me by even the oldest men at the local masjid that I used to visit. This is where I'd have to dissent, but its a dissention based on my desire for this not to be true. I have felt that God "whispers" into my heart for many years now. It's not an audible voice, but almost like an internal speech... as if he speaks directly into my being/thoughts. Unfortunately, I am starting to believe that this is actually more of a result of my having a mental illness than his actual voice, because many times this voice confirms my own presuppositions about various things but then is able to tell me little things about myself or my state of mind that I wasn't already aware of, so while it feels like it's actually "my lord and savior speaking into my soul"... I'm likely just a nut :/

Another issue is labeling an entire dynasty as good/bad, because these dynasties lasted a long time, and had many different rulers. I think it would be beneficial if we broke it down first by figuring out which rulers do Shia Jafari believers generally consider to have been bad rulers.

I think many Shias are big fans of the Safavid Dynasty under specifically Ismail I, but I often hear praise about other rulers too, like Abbas I and Sultan Husayn I. And of course Muhammad Baqir Majlisi (رضي الله عنه) was the most influential Twelver cleric of the time. That being said, there are many misconceptions surrounding the Safavid Era. Many of these misconceptions are discussed here:

The Buyid dynasty, or the Buyids (Persian: آل بویه‎ Âl-e Buye; also known as Buwaihids, Bowayhids, Buyahids, or Buyyids), was a Shia Iranian dynasty[7] of Daylamite origin.[8] Coupled with the rise of other Iranian dynasties in the region, the approximate century of Buyid rule represents the period in Iranian history sometimes called the 'Iranian Intermezzo' since, after the Muslim conquest of Persia, it was an interlude between the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate and the Seljuk Empire.[9] Buyid Dynasty آل بویه al-e Buye 934–1062[1] The Buyid dynasty in 970 Capital Shiraz (Buyids of Fars, 934–1062) Ray (Buyids of Jibal, 943–1029) Baghdad (Buyids of Iraq, 945–1055) Common languages Arabic (official and court language; lingua franca)[2] Middle Persian (secondary court language)[2] Persian (popular)[3] Daylami (native) Religion Shia Islam[4] (also Sunni, Mu'tazila Islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism) Government Hereditary monarchy Emir/Shahanshah • 934–949 Imad al-Dawla • 1048–1062 Abu Mansur Fulad Sutun Historical era Middle Ages • Established 934 • Imad al-Dawla proclaimed himself "Emir" 934 • Adud al-Dawla becomes the supreme ruler of the Buyid dynasty 979 • Disestablished 1062[1] Area 980 est.[5][6] 1,600,000 km2 (620,000 sq mi) Preceded by Succeeded by Samanid Empire Ziyarids Banu Ilyas Ghaznavids Great Seljuq Empire Kakuyids Uqaylid dynasty Marwanids Shabankara

Qajars were the worst iranian rulers during the history. As to your question, i personally dont admire any king and believe that most of the kings (iranian or non-iranian) were unjust and cruel but in my opinion, among the dynasties who ruled Persia, Al-e Buyeh, Al-e Ziyar and Zandiyeh were the best ones.

Salam My mother is a doctor and works in the hospital a few days a week but i dont know if there are any covid patients in their hospital. A distant relative who was a doctor and probabely was in contact with covid patients died of corona and his wife who is a doctor too, suffers from corona and currently she is in the hospital.

Man lives for the unseen. He builds for the future. The past haunts him And shapes his psyche. He lives in apprehension, Fear of the unseen. What if , what could Have been , what next . Fear not, man Good the unseen Is with you, Right now. No need, to worry. Live in Peace.

What about the non prominent shahids, like the regular hazara massacres in afghanistan and pakistan?

66:5 -Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah ], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins. What's the debate on, I don't get it... Both Sunni and Shia will point the finger to Hafsa and Aisha. Who else would it be? It specifically stating "wives and "divorce". This verse is a statement from God himself, saying that He would give the Prophet better wives than those two. Muslim is clearly out of the equation, they weren't even virgins when they married him. Putting her actions after the death of the Prophet into consideration along with the effects of her narrations on the image of Islam and the image of our prophet, I would curse her, let alone regard her as Muslim which is an amusing notion and contradictory to everything she's stood for. All those narrations on a bewitched prophet, a pedophile prophet, an abusive prophet, a careless prophet, come from this woman. It's because of her, the West thinks our prophet is a pedophile. So even from death, her sins are still in effect. They were shamed and labelled by God in the Quran and you people are still squabbling over whether or not she repented? Even with the knowledge of what she did after the prophet's death? And we are not even talking about one verse either, we are talking about the entirety of chapter al-Tahrim. It even goes on to compare them to the wives of Noah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and Lut (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

@habib e najjaar Respected sister, thank you for your valuable response it was truly insightful and beneficial Alhamdulilah, May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) bless you

While this will help make the relationship halal, for the most part, marriages where parties are unable to fulfil their mutual rights and obligations end up becoming very strained and mainly end in disaster. There is a hikmah in Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) making certain duties incumbent upon parties in a marriage. In ahkaam, the right to nafaqah is very interlinked with the right to conjugal rights, so if you skew the relationship from the start, it could lead to very unsavory things being said a little way down the line. Family providing fully will also mean most families will feel they can interfere fully: when to have kids, where you should live, if you can go out or not, what level you must study to, etc. The ideal situation would be for the man to get financial independence or self reliance asap, and the woman, if she is in a rush to marry him, to accept a simple life while they are growing together, and to support each other the best way they can.

Who would take care of them if they delayed the nikah for several years?

I am having a discussion with a Christian friend and I stated that my issue with the trinity is that the trinity has never been mentioned by name in the Bible, nor is there a doctrine of the trinity found within the Bible, and in that regard questioning how someone come to the belief that such a fundamental tenant of faith and salvation was chosen to not be highlighted clearly and without question. Stating the seemingly odd nature that God ordained such a core belief in his divine system or ordinance 300 or odd so years after the departure of Jesus Christ within The council of Nicaea. His response was that the trinity was introduced when Moses spoke with God at the burning bush and how that was the word or spirit of God What is a clear stance that can be taken to highlight the unbiblical nature of the trinity, as well as a well rounded rebuttal to the assertion that it was highlighted through the burning bush.

Why insist on a minimal mahr? From the sale of the shield, he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) could have opted to take 1 dirham and return the rest to imam (عليه السلام). P.s what else did he own? So based on what he owned at the time, it was not minimal and could have gone much much lower, especially since there were Muslim women getting married for less. Do you know the legal minimum mahr in Iran?

Actually that's not entirely true. Imam Ali (عليه السلام) got married to her but they didn't start living together for quite some time because imam Ali (عليه السلام) didn't have his own house. It was a few months after the nikah that he was able to find a place and that's when they started living together. This shows that the husband must be able to provide the basic necessities of life for his wife. If the man's parents cannot provide this for his wife and he also is dependent on his parents, then marriage should not take place - following the footsteps of imam Ali (عليه السلام), it should be delayed till the man has sufficient means.

this is from a whatsapp question I sent to the office of Ayatullah Nasir Makerem shirazi (ha) I sent istiftat to the websites of some others but this came first so I'm posting it here.

It seems as though hijab is never mentioned as being for modesty in the authentic narrations, rather it seems as though hijab is meant to distinguish Muslim women from non-Muslim women. Further, social hijab isn't meant to appease men who cannot control themselves. It is wajib upon men to lower their gaze, and obviously it is haram to harass or flirt with women. The streets have rights over you, so if you can't follow those rules, then it is forbidden to be out in the streets altogether. He discusses an epistemological analytical principle called "The Singularity/Unity of the Concept and the Plurality of the Instance". He says that women's social hijab (barrier) is dependent on the conditions of culture and information of the woman of that time. This is natural and if in the past they were given more than what that would dictate, then that would have been wrong. i.e. She has not studied, nor has she gained any information, nor has she gone to university, etc. So on which pretext shall they say that you women also have protectorship and maintainership (qawwamiyyat), and you are part of the administration/management of the house. What does she know about administering/managing? However nowadays you see that if she is not more than a man, then she is at least not less (in those areas). He then shifts to a simple example that a women's voice used to be part of her awrah (intimate parts). He recalls as a child when there was a knock on their door, his father's mother (his grandma) would answer from behind the door with her chador in her mouth so that a male stranger does not hear her voice. He says if somebody did that nowadays you would call her crazy. References [in Farsi] from the video's description: http://alhaydari.com/fa/2018/12/7043/ http://alhaydari.com/fa/2018/02/5743/

Ok brother/sister @TryHard . In the end, to each his own. We see differently on this issue and I dont think either of us is going to change their stance. Perhaps my sense of understanding has been marred/clouded by a recently ended 7 year marriage that was unable to survive some of the things mentioned above and patience, compromise and accepting a simple life did nothing to change that.

I am very confused with all these Shia apps. One says fajr start at 1:18 am and another says that it start 3:14am, which one is correct? Maybe this is because I live in Finland and it really get confused in these times.

May Allah have mercy upon them.

Wa Alaykum Salam, On behalf of Sunnis, I'd like to apologise for the way these speakers go about talking abouyt the Shia. Personally I feel that these young brothers, generally of a Hashwiyyah-educated background, act like this as an over-reaction to what many Sunnis observe of Shia polemics against Sunnism - e.g. cursing and insulting certain Sahabah etc. really hurts us as we love these people and we love ahl-al-bayt too. But more than that I feel they do this as they are from a sub-sect which does not value Tazkiya and Tasawwuf as much, so the diseases of the heart such as arrogance (kibr) and hatred are found in them. This generally leads to a harder heart - if you remove spirituality and Ihsan from the deen then these things will happen. Moreover, Dawah/Islah is a field where one must be the utmost in humility and kindness as arrogance comes to quickly from the simple understanding that we as Muslims are on the correct path. Also I think they tend to stawman Shia positions, e.g. thinking all Shia doubt the presevation of the Quran, or that all Shia regard the Imams to be above the level of the Prophets Alayhim Salam etc. Nevertheless, I do agree with their criticising the Shia, just not the manner in which they do it. For that reason I tend to watch scholars such as Asrar Rashid Rahimullah when it comes to the Shia and how we disagree with your views. I'm sure you understand we need our scholars to explain these things to us as we are not Shia and have fundamental differences that need to be explained, as you understand you own scholars need to do this regarding us. May Allah bless you and guide us both to the path of those who have been rightly-guided.

Quran 24:55 وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them caliphate upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them Please tell what does this Ayah says. Promise of Allah to give caliphate just like he gave to those before us. Caliphate that Allah gave to Adam (عليه السلام) and Ambiya (عليه السلام) isn't government, its representation of Allah on land. And we all know those caliphs were sent for guidance not for goverment. And In Surah Anaam ayah 83-87, Allah mentioned some Ambiya from Adam (عليه السلام) to Isa (عليه السلام) and said we choosed from among their fathers, brothers and descendents (which are ahlebait). neither Ashaab, nor best friends. This is how Allah gave calipahte back then and its promise of Allah to give it in same way to this ummah as he gave to people before this ummah. As for concept of Imamah, Its 2:124 وَإِذِ ابْتَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [Allah] said, "Indeed, I will make you an imam for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allah] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers." Allah tried Ibrahim and made him Imam for people. which is sufficient to prove, Allah makes Imams and not the people. Allah made this imamah go in descendants of Ibrahim (عليه السلام), thus it will remain till Allah stops it just like Allah stopped Nabuwah. Allah said it will not reach wrongdoers. Put all tafaseer aside, lets refer to another verse of Quran Quran 3:117 مَثَلُ مَا يُنفِقُونَ فِي هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٍ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ Example (of) what they spend in this [the] life (of) the world (is) like (the) example (of) a wind in it (is) frost, it struck (the) harvest (of) a people who wronged themselves, then destroyed it. And not (has) Allah wronged them [and] but themselves they wronged. Anyone who has never wronged, can be no one else other than the one who is a Masoom. Since even pious people do it every now and then. Thus Caliphate and Imamah of Shia, is based upon Quran.

Ws, What about talking about sins one has committed before becoming a muslim, such as in a reverts case that wishes to remove the fake glamour of a sinful life?

Age is a useless number. A more accurate description for me is "a man". That's it.

Salam There is consensus amongst Shias and Sunnis that fajr begins when there is a faint glow of the morning Sun across the horizon, before the Sun actually rises above the horizon. This is referred to in the verse in Surah Baqara v187: وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ And eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. The white thread of dawn referred to in the verse is that faint glow of white across the horizon. This was fairly easy to see in the past when people lived in small communities without loads of buildings in the way, and without modern day light pollution. For most of us today, its a lot harder if not impossible to determine the start of fajr directly, so we rely on prayer timetables. Unfortunately there is no agreement amongst prayer timetables as to the start of fajr, with both Sunni and Shia timetables disagreeing with each other on the exact time. The disagreement basically boils down to what angle the Sun has to be below the horizon before the condition mentioned in the above verse is met, namely the appearance of a white thread across the horizon. Some say fajr begins when the Sun is 18 degrees below the horizon- this is known as the astronomical twilight. Others, such as Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi believe that fajr begins when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon- this is the nautical twilight. See here : https://www.al-islam.org/articles/al-fajr-sadiq-new-perspective-sayyid-muhammad-rizvi I've checked najaf.orgs timings against different angles, and cant seem to figure out what their method is : http://astro.ukho.gov.uk/surfbin/placefinder_beta.cgi?program=Prayers&ticket=d57af32f57c40e74 Recently, the OpenFajr project based in Birmingham has tried to determine the exact timing of fajr using a 180 degree camera, and a panel of experts, including the Seminary in Najaf (according to their paper). They have found that the timing of fajr isnt fixed to a particular angle of the Sun below the horizon, but seems to vary from 12 to 15 degrees in Birmingham. It could be different in other parts of the world. See here : http://www.openfajr.org/#about All this presents us with 2 problems: When are we supposed to pray fajr, and when do we begin our fasts? I havent been able to find anything from Sayid Sistani [ha] other than the general rule in the above verse. Caution seems to dictate that we pray at 12 degrees, but then when do we begin our fast? We can do Imsak, but for what time period? On Jan 1st in London, the Sun is at 12 degrees at 6.43am, and is at 15 degrees at 6.23, so 20mins Imsak gets us 3 degrees extra. But this is different at different times of the year Any suggestions or corrections welcome.

(salam) the best advice i can give is for you to practice sexual transmutation , basically what you are doing is not running away from the desire or falling for it everytime but instead you are harnassing it towards something else . Its a daoist teaching, where you basically become more and more powerful and conscious and energized among many other benefits just by culminating that energy over long periods of time and taking that sexual energy to 'boost' you in other aspect of your life and increase you confidence by a lot. 2nd thing is to block out the thoughts , your mind is very powerful , we all know what mind over matter is and in this case your mind has lots of sexual images in it that arouse you over time. Trust me , next time you feel really aroused throughout the day just look inwards and you will see how much sexual thoughts are flying around in there so if you nip it at the bud and stop thinking of that first thought or distract yourself then YOU WIN i promise , and lastly as a last measure or emergency measure is to take a nap or sleep this will re balance your energies and hormones. so in short- 1-Dont panick or focus on the release but do the opposite and harness it and you will see how strong and confident you will get (almost instantly , and it only grows) I also feel smarter since i kicked off this habit (years and years ago). I dont know if its the focus or concentration but i really feel my brain is working at optimal levels. 2-Nip the thoughts or waswas at the bud because they WILL come back if you embrace them , instead ignore,avert,distract or go or a jog this will take your mind off it 3-and for emergencies where you feel that you will slip then SLEEEP/Nap/meditate/yoga to restore your balance and 'restart' your thoughts. I personnally find it hard to sleep so i meditate on quran, go in quiet room clear all your thoughts COMPLETELY dont think of nothing for 10 whole minutes (harder than you think) but will become much easier..anyways once you passed the 10 minute mark play the quran and focus on every word ONLY and nothing else , not only wil you completely forget about the sexual thoughts but your iman will be really high and you WIN, also you will get a lot out of the surah because you are so focused you will realize things that you havent before compared to passive reading or listening...focus is key in this excercise, focus during meditation and during Quran , after your done and you feel refreshed ask Allah swt to strengthen you even more and help you dominate the waswas of shaytan . The best plans are those that you revisit , so lets say all is well ........that does not mean all is well so dont put your guard down. every week or so you should literally remind yourself on paper the benefits and cons of doing this habit, remind yourself how much Allah is pleased with your efforts and how strong youve become and how you are in control and are not a slave to your desires etc.. this will motivate you and keep you focused .... also if you cant marry do mutah but i suggest you conquer your desire and then when you do find a wife or do mutah , you are still in control of your desire but if you just get married and not look at the underlying issue the problem wont be solved, you will be surpised how many wives complain about porn addicted husbands...
