Firstly these threads are repetitive and not bringing any new information, so making multiple parts serves no purpose. Secondly the language being used is unacceptable. Insults and personal attacks will not be tolerated. I am locking the thread and will issue warnings if the insults continue.

The language of the anti-313? This is not the language of the Shia. Perhaps you are one of the anti-313 coming here to tell us not to take vaccines and not to wear masks. Maybe you want the Shia to be harmed by Covid? You upvoted a post which speculated that Trump and Zuckeberg may be on the side of good.

Good luck to you. I truly hope that my predictions turns to be false.

Salam all types of dogs are Najis (impure) so you cannot hold them in house but you can keep Puppy or any type of dog outside of house in yard or etc.

All big (and many small) conspiracy theorists are actually working for the governments and leaders. Any why wouldn't these powerful people infiltrate the conspiracy theorist community? Even the Prophet {s} had hypocrites among his ranks. It makes no sense for the masons/illuminati/billionaires to leave the conspiracy theorists alone. They either get killed or they join the ranks. Icke, Jones etc are all with the illuminati. Be careful of these conspiracy websites they are logging your IP address and your location using GPS. Be careful of Shiachat mods they might also with them. In fact be careful of your teacher Sami, he is a famous one who could be one of them. And maybe our shia books have been rewritten by these powerful people. Maybe we can no longer trust al-Kafi. And why wouldn't they do it? Why would they leave any stone unturned? And the biggest conspiracy: Maybe some of these world leaders are doing taqiyyah and are on our side? Zuckerberg, Trump & Boris could be one of the 313 working like Ali ibn Yaqteen did during the time of Imam Musa {a}. You people are fascinating.

Not sure if that 2% represent CaseFatalityRate or InfectionFatalityRate. Anyhow it is 8 times higher than the latest IFR figure (0.15%) in a study done below: https://off-guardian.org/2021/04/21/covids-ifr-just-keeps-dropping/ With every new study, with every new paper, the “deadly” pandemic gets less and less, well, deadly. The most recent data review, published in late March, puts the infection fatality ratio (IFR) at 0.15%. That is, once again, pretty much the same as a normal flu season.

On a similar note, it is surprising the many muslims that do not accept that there is esoteric meanings in Islam. Even the syllables at the beginning of some chapters of the Qur'an are indication of Divine Mysteries. Even if one wants to say we dont know the meaning, that even more so indicate mysticism. However, my view is always congruent in the orthodoxy of Shi'a view of Allah being unlike creation.

Salaam brother, thanks again for sharing these great esoteric gems. I feel that the way we can understand this (if it is a true hadith) is by saying this does not refer to Imam Ali (عليه السلام) in the sense the perfect reflection of the Absolute, but rather it is referring to the ‘true self’ that is God Himself. Where we see that everything is happening within consciousness, by consciousness and through consciousness. Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullah, Yes, I do not think this is just something designated for Imam Ali (عليه السلام). This is the concept of the perfect man. The Muhammadin Light. Yea in another thread I started a topic on 'Who are the extreme Shi'a'. I suggested we differentiate between those that worshiped the Imams from those arifin who use language that is outside of orthodoxy. Taking Imam Ali (عليه السلام) or other Imams as gods or independent beings that act outside of the will of Allah is falsehood. I believe these narrations are suggesting the perfect man. The Muhammadin light can be considered and I hate equating it to buddha nature.. I only say that for the sake of explaining it somewhat, but buddhism is devoid of divinity and this is their error. Islam is full of the divine which is Allah and solely Allah's. But the Nabi (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) being the first creation is the passing of this fitra to all of creation. Fitra is none other than one's natural tendency to submit to the Creator who is free from limitation and is the God of Imam Ali (عليه السلام) and al-Mustafa (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

It is simple. I was referring to Imams (عليه السلام) and Prophets (عليه السلام) and you go apply the same method to all fallible people, which is faulty. Because the basic principles in religion is that you can only obey Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى), Prophet and Imams (عليه السلام). As for others it does not apply.

Have you seen Him doing things which are always right? You're just telling us the mistake of Allah that He has appointed guides without being guided them properly. You're telling us that a creation of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is so powerful (Satan) that he can misguide anyone, even those who are guided by Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). How have made your God da'eef (na'uzobillah). So as per you logic, since Allah is upon Sirat e Mustaqeem: إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ 11:56 Therefore no one can be upon Sirat like Him. إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {36:3 عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ {36:4

Alhumdulillah. Hezbollah is playing an extremely crucial role in helping lebanon in this financial crisis accompanied by impacts of sanctions. Anyone can add to the thread if there is anything relevant.

I tend to agree. Last year, there was a video showing a chinese lady literally dropped dead on a street. A few days ago, there was a picture of an indian man with an oxygen tank. Survival rate for covid19 is 99.78%, according to some study. This means, the death rate is only 0.22%, which is almost 10 times lower than the 2% quoted. Just found out, 26,703 people die in India daily. https://www.quora.com/How-many-people-die-in-India-every-day?share=1 covid death on April 24, 2021 (Last updated: April 24, 2021, 22:11 GMT) = 2,760. So, 2,760 from 26,703 is 10.34 %. I found the top 10 killer diseases in India. https://life.futuregenerali.in/life-insurance-made-simple/cancer-heart-critical-illness-insurance/what-is-the-leading-cause-of-death-in-india Rank Cause of Death % of Total Deaths (Ages 25-69) 1 Cardiovascular Diseases 24.8 2 Respiratory Diseases 10.2 3 Tuberculosis 10.1 4 Malignant and Other Tumours 9.4 5 Ill-Defined Conditions 5.3 6 Digestive Diseases 5.1 7 Diarrhoeal Diseases 5.0 8 Unintentional Injuries 4.6 9 Intentional Self-Harm 3.0 10 Malaria 2.8 However, the big question is: How to account for 5xx,xxx covid deaths in US? There’s a possible explanation for it in the link “18 reasons….” I’ve quoted before ie the rule for writing death certificate has been changed, is one of them. Like you said, this covid thing is becoming more like a sunni-shia divide :-(

That is good and one should investigate if possible of course.

IF their risks don't outweigh the risk of COVID. Important to note ;)

Salam, I think so. As far as I can tell only the majority of scholars are encouraging us to get vaccinated, which is great.

Salam brother! I would recommend a book called Muraja'at fe I'smat al Anbiya/مراجعات في عصمة الانبياء. Remember, every sin is a mistake but every mistake is not a sin.

I remember a verse from Quran that ordered Ibrahim and Ismail to clean the house of Allah. Would that also refer to House of Allah being Najis and unclean before they cleaned it?

I literally don't have words to reply to your conjecture. Just see what is happening in India. What this virus can do along with incompetence of government. Long term side effect of this vaccine is NOT PROVEN. There are no remedies at this time to prevent infection. You not knowing the long term effects but claiming it’s the dangerous is all conjecture.

People can literally see how covid is catching everyone and killing in millions. The Vaccine that can protect from covid infection and death is 'untrustworthy' and 'dangerous' just based on conjecture.

Salam It's a tradition because reward of 3 times of reciting sura al-ikhlas is equal to reward of one time of reciting , whole of holy Quran

Salam they must do military service which like other men after passing entrance exam & registration in Hawza after passing basic & fundementals lessons in first level of Hawza then they must register for military service which after 14 days common military education they can engage in cultural & propaganda posts . https://fa.shafaqna.com/news/957412/ https://www.hawzahnews.com/news/925783/تشریح-جزئیات-پذیرش-سرباز-طلبه-از-درخواست-تا-اعزام-و-معافیت-تحصیلی https://www.hawzahnews.com/news/909145/سطوح-علمی-سرباز-طلبه-در-سازمان-ها-و-نهادها-اعلام-شد https://www.irna.ir/news/83887318/اولویت-خدمت-سرباز-طلبه-در-آموزش-و-پرورش-فعالیت-پرورشی-است https://rasanews.ir/fa/news/667768/همه-چیز-درباره-جذب-سرباز-طلبه https://www.burjak.ir/spiritual-soldier/

Psychedelics, Alcohol, Pork?

I wasn't talking about that because no one is denying me service at a restaurant or a Government building because I have cancer or flu. But they want to do this with Covid. You might say that they do this to protect older and higher-risk people. But the flu do affect those groups badly if the catch but I don't see Influenza passports being passed around. So the kids also get the Vax to ensure that future generations are also damaged. We don't know the long term effects of the Vax but we are fine with experimenting with it on newly born children. I've seen my share of conspiracy theories (especially ones made by Alex Jones) that turned out to be true. My motto is "Conspiracy Theories are true until proven otherwise". And beside if you think that propaganda is bad then the same propaganda is being done with the Virus and the Vax. If they didn't want people to be panicky then they should've not make the people panic about the Virus in the first place. Never said that you did. Believe me. The experts told me that it was absolutely fine (until its use was discontinued). I also follow the advice of doctors from the 20s and smoke twice daily. And I watch porn and masturbate daily because sexologists told me it's absolutely fine and causes no psychological or physical damage whatsoever Wrong. I believe you meant Mubah (allowed). So Islam doesn't mind me smoking Marijuana since it doesn't really do anything to affect the body (at least science says so). This sort of reasoning is faulty. Because millions died as a result of smoking before smoking was proven to be harmful. To drive this point home. The science community ignored the adverse effects of porn until online forums forced them to. And those communities (like the nofap subreddit and forums) actually developed their own language and terms (ex: PIED = Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction). So please spare me the worship of science. Science is not only slow to reach conclusions but also politicized beyond belief. I don't want to be one of the people who will suffer of a severe side effect and for science to come decades later to tell me "Oops I guess the Vax was bad after all."

How about shedding? Is that really common among women? Yes, but at the same time we should be careful about sticking untested poison in our veins. How long were the polio vaccines tested before they were considered safe? I mean you're comparing Corona (which is basically flu) to Polio, those are really different diseases with different amounts of damage. What kind of oil? Because cooking oils can be dangerous if they mess with your hormones, especially your Testosterone. If the west decided to subsidize Soy products for the middle east then I would agree that they are engaging in biological warfare. And I really like that you're suggesting we shouldn't panic when this Virus was overblown. I don't mind people taking the Vax but Governments are now trying to force us into taking it without any compensation for side effects. If people get Sterile because of it then who's going to care of them when they get old? You should really take the Johnson & Johnson one. I heard great things about it, amazing side effects. Really? If one truly loves Ahlulbayt then he should realize that Biological Warfare is here and it's here to stay. People should also start exercising, losing weight, and eating healthy. Injecting oneself with chemicals doesn't really show love of God or Ahlulbayt. Otherwise we should inject ourselves with Cocaine while smoking Marijuana in the name of Allah Are you kidding me? If the Vax carries Nano bodies or affect your hormones then it can and will affect your faith. There is a reason why Islam prohibits drugs and alcohol, because those things affect your hormonal levels and control of your brain. If the Vax does the same thing then what's the difference?

Yes, self reports are my source. If you truly still believe that researchers that are bought and paid by corporations have integrity and your interest in their mind then you're truly clueless. Such people tried to hide the adverse effects of things like smoking and porn for decades until they were caught and there's absolutely nothing stopping them from doing the same thing with the Vaxx If you still want studies then you have to wait for a year or two (or even longer) and by that time most people would've taken the Vaxx. But there is one study that you should keep your eye on

Did you just compare Khamenei to Ahl Al-bayt? If you understand that all of this is politics then you must understand that politicians can be both evil on both sides. After all when the Umayyad & Abbasids fought each other, neither of them was on the right side. So while the prohibition of the vaccine might be political it still a good decision because on the yet to be known disastrous side effects

Next time add short grain rice, it will taste much better. And try vegetarian stuffed grape leaves. Today for iftar my father ordered kebab, grilled chicken and beef with rice from one Iranian restaurant. I had 2 pieces of kabab and the grilled chicken, someone took quarter of the chicken without asking me For suhoor I had 2 pieces of mini beef fatayer and spaghetti with guava juice.

Alhamdolellah. There are reports that Iranians in Syria fired Missiles on Israeli Nuclear facilities in reaction to Israelis bombing Iranian forces in Syria and the attack on Natanz Nuclear facility. I saw the facebook posts on Israeli Nuclear Facilites burning, but I can't copy it.

Wa’alaykum Salaam Guest Sendhelp First of all, please don’t take this situation to heart. This is very common for everyone who decides to take one’s duties towards Allah Almighty seriously and attempts to put these duties to practice. Now, guess who is going to get upset knowing this? Of course Shaytaan the cursed! Remember he promised Allah Almighty that he will take revenge from Mankind: “Iblis said: ‘Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will lie in wait against them (human beings) on Your straight path. Then, I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e they will not be dutiful to You” (The Blessed Qur’an, 7:17) Secondly, Please, don’t be overzealous in your actions (Praying, reciting the Blessed Quran, duas etc.) because very soon when the enthusiasm wanes off a little the fatigue factor will come in. Here is the Shaytaan comes in and starts with his whispering and starts creating doubts and points to ineffectiveness/ futility of your actions. Be very moderate with you actions. Rather, seek the ˹reward˺ of the Hereafter by means of what Allah has granted you, without forgetting your share of this world. And be good ˹to others˺ as Allah has been good to you. Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for Allah certainly does not like the corruptors.” (The Blessed Quran 28:77 Abdullah Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: “Ruined are those who insist on hardship in matters of the Faith.” He repeated this three times. (Muslim) “Allah loves moderation and hates extravagance and excess.” - Umar Ibn al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) Recite the following Surah Nass (Mankind) of course in Arabic as much as you can, Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind, The God of mankind, from the evil of the lurking whisperer— who whispers into the hearts of humankind— And Recite the following if any negative thoughts come to you “audhubillah min al-shaytaan ir-rajeem” I seek Allaah's refuge from Satan the accursed In sha Allah you will feel the results very soon. Don’t let your guard down. Once you have taken refuge in Allah Almighty – Trust Him – He will be with YOU! About acceptance of your Duas - the following will help you.

You must get permission of her parents if she is a virgin. Even if she was not, she would have to have lost her virginity in a marriage and not through zina. If I were you I would try to get married normally, because there is a real risk of you getting someone pregnant. Contraceptives do not have a 100% rate of success, it's 99%. I know a couple who had several children even though the woman was on birth control. And there are many, many people out there who were born even though a condom was used properly. You may be not prepared to get married right now, but are you prepared to raise a child?

There are only four women in the entire world who have measured up to the lofty standards of real greatness and perfection set by Islam. They are: 1. Lady Asiya (s.a.), the wife of Pharaoh 2. Lady Mary (s.a.), the mother of Christ ((عليه السلام).) 3. Lady Khadija (s.a.), the daughter of Khuwailid 4. Lady Fatimah Zahra (s.a.), the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (S)

Salam all, I am in a situation where I (Sunni) am considering marrying a Shia man. I was wondering if anyone facing similair issues had any advice or if anyone that has had a sushi marriage could give advice on any struggles, raising kids etc Any advice will be much appreciated.

It is difficult in these times to find a pious muslima, so I would suggest mutah with people of the book. If you do not want to have any kids with them then be careful in that regards. You have to do what you have to do you know.

Salam , I've been thinking is there a way to ask the guards who guard the graves of the Imams (عليه السلام) to let us go near them . I've seen on Instagram some people who broke the gate and quickly went and touched all five graves and got some samples of dust . Could there be a way to bribe these Kafirs to let us go and sit next to our Beloved Imams (عليه السلام) ?

It is possible that Israel will drastically weaken when netanyahu is out, and that is looking like sooner rather than later.

Most so called Orthodox Jews (Haredi) that condemn Israel is because they believe that the exile has not ended and only the Messiah can establish a Jewish state. Do some of them really stand up for the Palestinian cause? Sure. But believe me, most of them do it out of theological reasons. And no matter what they are, Zionists or Anti-Zionists, they still believe that when their Messiah comes, all goyim will eventually have to serve the Jews and keep Noahide laws. If not, they will be killed. That's from the Talmud and Kabbalic texts for those that don't know.

I don't think that regime can be attacked by military any sooner or later if you don't have allies who want to change it. If Iran attack Israel by military then you will have US,UK,EU and Arabs with Israel and I don't think Russia or China will even be interested in such a war.

He said we shouldn’t take vaccine from US and UK only, he didn’t said we shouldn’t take the vaccine. Plus he is the only marja that forbid US and UK vaccine.

My analogy is actually spot on then. Your schools returned to the way of the messenger (and also imperatively to the way of the jamaat of the three caliphs (for bughz of Ali)) much later during Abassid rule. Read some history. If the concept of Imamate is so alien then why did Sunni choose 4 Imams from 4 corners of the Islamic world? What was the criteria? Did these invent hadith sciences? Read how your "hadiths" were chosen, about 0.1 million of them burnt, the biggest numbers narrated by a very late Jewish convert and the second biggest allegedly by a unwise teen age girl while 1 woman's testimony is insufficient in Islam. Its very easy to spew ignorance and deny and copy paste and to think you win debates, its not easy to digest the truth.

I think one of the reasons the Imams gave us the signs of Reappearance is to rely on them to know if we are in the zamaan of the Dhuhoor. That way we don't rely on other books and sources to pinpoint the reappearance. Yes they may contain various things that one can identify to current situations, but nowhere does it say that they will lead to the reappearance of the Imam, so we can't really use them as Shia. Obviously that doesn't stop someone from learning from them, but the riwayats of the Imams exist for a reason.

No, actually its a result of discriminatory hiring, which forced black men to take whatever jobs they could find even if they were far from their families, forcing women to take on the roles of both mother and father. There's a whole lot that is outright false in your post, but it's just common ignorance. A lot of us used to be like that before we picked up a book or talked with our neighbors.

For correction , It's " Persian Gulf " not just " Gulf "

Sorry akhi. I missed this question. I originally got into Islam at a young age. Likely around 16 or 17. I started learning about Shia Islam but unfortunately Najdi dawah got to me. Seeing the inner division amongst the Salafis and their extreme views kind of caused me to drift away. The original reason for getting into Islam was Tawhid. It made much more sense than the trinity. While not practicing I began reading Shia and Sufi books for 'fun'. I kept telling myself that if I were to become a Muslim I would be Shia. After some time I decided to buy more books at the Middle Eastern Bookstore in Dearborn from the brother and Hajji Abu Mohamed. I randomly went to Islamic Center of America to get a Turbah not yet practicing but I felt like I was close to converting. Shortly after I took shahada and had Sheikh Nami Farhat (an australian Shia shaykh) as my witness. For me the rational arguments of the Qur'an against atheists, mushrikun and christians are a precise de-mantling of their creed. Now I am on the quest for Tazkiya. Alhamdulilah

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes.

Pharaoh also knew that someone will destroy him and his false godhood, end his similarly long run of his power and desires, and one day he was told such a man is about to be born in the tribe of believers so he ordered that all male newborns be killed and kept doing this. But then what happened? Didn't God protect Moses (عليه السلام) in a stunning manner and Pharaoh's extreme and not only his best efforts were of no avail at all but God made him bring up Moses himself at his own house? Its really stupid of them to search for the Mahdi (عليه السلام). They should instead stop murder, robbery, destruction and all their evils and submit. Repent and do good deeds instead.

I never follow a man who claim something while he errs, it will only cause doubts. Such a man is impossible from God to choose. That's why Prophets must all be infallibles not just by sending the message of God but also infallible in Knowledge and actions.

An infallible (Arabic: معصوم‎ ma`sūm) is someone who is free from error in leading people to belief, in perceiving divine knowledge, and in practical matters. Means that he is protected, thus for such a person they are free from error (as long God wish) for particular task, in this matter leading people to belief that is pure, perceiving knowledge withouth doubt and practicing by what they know and in sincerity.
