Khudafez everyone, stay safe.3 points -

Its good that you are openly speaking about your state of mind. And with complex issue such as your's it requires an expert, therefore, go and seek help from an professional. The brain is a complex organ, and occasionally it needs resetting by having cognitive behaviour therapy. give it a try you have nothing to lose but may gain some insight to your issues. Good luck.3 points -
Suffering from extreme evil ocd and waswas in prayer
ShiaofAli12 and one other reacted to Mahdavist for a topic
From what you're saying, these thoughts are causing you to delay or prolong your wudhu, ghusl, prayers etc.. I would suggest to perform these acts as normal, despite any thoughts that cross your mind, without repeating them. I understand that this may feel inadequate, but the first step to overcoming this challenge might just be to persist with your wudhu, ghusl and prayers as normal. This way even if you're having the thoughts, you aren't allowing them to delay your acts of worship.2 points -

A question for men
ShiaofAli12 and one other reacted to Abu Hadi for a topic
This is not the 1950s anymore. In many households, the husband and wife both work outside the home. If this is the case, then husband and wife need to get together, as a couple, or as a family and distribute the workload in a fair way. If the kids are older, they can help out with chores also. If the wife stays at home and doesn't work outside the home, then she should take on the majority of this responsibility if the couple cannot afford to hire a maid / cook, etc. If you look at the Hadith on the subject, there is nothing that says the women 'must' do these things (cooking, cleaning).2 points -

We are all Muslims.And our prosperity in this world and hereafter lies in following Islamic laws as prescribed by Allah and followed by Ahlebayt as.

@OP I read through the thread and did not reply earlier because I could not come up with the right advice. Let me explain it to you now, what the thing is. See, during our early youth these days we can reach 30 eating out, consuming processed / junk food, consuming fake dairy milk and all the stuff in shops and restaurants. I have a 25 years old nephew who is like a little brother to me. His wife does not cook, and in summary she is like a pretty cat that he has to take care of round the clock. I pray for them as they are having a baby soon. They both consume commercially sold foods. They both1 point -

F.M reacted to YoungSkiekh313 for a topic
This is not government, this is sharia... there is no such thing in Islam as government..... as the leaders are divinely elected by Allah. It's their right to be the governing leader... as a government is usually formed through a democracy. So, if you wish to create an Islamic government, that I believe would be run by an elected official... you are going against the Quran.... I'll take my W ....1 point -

When anyone studies a little or pays a little attention to the rules of Islamic government, Islamic politics, Islamic society and Islamic economy he will realize that Islam is a very political religion. Anyone who will say that religion is separate from politics is a fool; he does not know Islam or politics. Imam Khomeini. Brother is it good if you say to Iranian government change your Islamic laws from government.Because non of Imam did.

Salam, There is nothing wrong in being part of a tribe, group, band, clan, or community of people. Of course, if they are taking part in Un-Islamic rituals then yes, there is an issue there. Even if your tribe did perform Un-Islamic rituals, you still don't have to leave the tribe by name. Just don't participate in the rituals..... this is your family we are talking about, and Islam places a large emphasis on maintaining family relations. WS1 point -
@Cool As for Ayatollah khomeini (رضي الله عنه), I don't see any wrong what he said. I just want to clarify this, the narration says: From Yāsir, the servant, said, I said to al-Riḍā (عليه السلام), ‘What do you say about al-Tafwīd?’ And he (عليه السلام) said: ‘Allāh (تبارك و تعالى), delegated (fawwaḍa) to His prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) affairs of His religion’, and He said: “Take whatever the Messenger gives to you, and deny for yourself whatever he prohibits” (59:7). As for (delegating) the creation and sustenance, then No! He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Allāh (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) says “1 point

Salam, Aisha died a couple of years before Karbala, I believe 2-4 years before. Let's take a look at some of the issues she created in the household of the Ahlul-bayt. Well after the Prophet's death, Aisha didn't allow Fatima Al Zahra to receive here inheritance, and due to this Zahra, and Aisha herself did not receive anything. Aisha herself attempted to create an uprise against Uthman, which eventually lead to his assassination. She blamed this on Imam Ali, and fought against him. If she was willing to kill Imam Ali, I would assume she would have no issue being on the1 point

So adaptability is an adult trait and sign of maturity. You don't have to do chores, but shifting blame to your parents for raising you one way, and refusing to change because of that is not an admirable quality. We were all raised in different ways. Do we give a man that abuses his wife a pass because that's how he was raised? Do we give a woman who treats poor people with disrespect a pass because that's how they were raised. If you don't want to do chores as an adult, that's totally fine. I'm sure you can find plenty of men that would prefer you to work full time and have a1 point

@Diaz I'd say take it easy brother. All you do is eat burgers, french fries, sandwiches, shawarmas and pizza. You're either a poster child for Future Diabetes or that TLC show "My 600 pound life".

Abu Nur reacted to The Green Knight for a topic
Well fyi there are problems, the usuli akhbari conflict is out of style and there is the new "ghali vs muqassir" war being orchestrated now. As for not believing in hadiths, the ghaali have safavid era hadiths, brand new books, ignorant preachers to lead them. and will apply the hadiths you quoted to those who even point out that their hadith sources are lacking in any way. If you point out that their clerics are illiterate they will label you a muqassir. If you do not use intercession or say "ya Ali madat" instead of "Salamu alaikum" or do not recite the third testimony in tashahud, or praise1 point -

Mahdavist reacted to The Green Knight for a topic
Exactly my point. Why risk a ghaali or a muqassar by claiming any thing? Instead, the Quran says the best among us ordinary people are those with the best taqwa. We should all instead make more and more efforts to follow in the footsteps of the ahl al bayt (عليه السلام), heed their commands as if our lives depend on it. That is true respect. It is not required of us to determine their nature comprehensively. That frivolous pursuit will lead to great danger.1 point -

When can the wife divorce the husband without his consent
PureExistence1 reacted to 313_Waiter for a topic
I have actually asked a scholar this question, these were our interactions: So yes, “theoretically“ a wife can divorce without the husband’s approval, in practice I assume it would be difficult. I wonder what hadiths this would be based on, and whether the Imam would be taking the Ayatollah’s place? The rationale of the khulla divorce from what I’ve heard is that since the man has to bargain his way into a marriage through dowry, a woman has to bargain her way out (and he has to agree). I know, it sounds incredibly misogynistic, but that is actually what I read on an exegesis.1 point
