  1. I think what they could mean by this is the observation that God Himself is the pure existence and only He and His manifestation exist. And we are His manifestation and thus by ourselves we are nothing, thus non-existent, but in reality there is no non-existent, only Existence and His manifestation are united and exist. Example is that if we have knowledge, this knowledge is just manifestation of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) knowledge and in reality we don't own it but it is just an manifestation of God Knowledge. This is why we say exactly that we have 0% knowledge while Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) have 100% knowledge. We only manifest it but it is not ours. This tawheed will remove all the negative side of the nafs and make it understand that only Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is Real and whatever He manifest on us is His, thus we are nothing by ourselves. Iblis made exactly the shirk by thinking he actually have something from God by saying I'm better than Adam, when in reality both Iblis and Adam are nothing themselves but only God manifestation. The only difference between fly and Angel Gabriel (عليه السلام) is how Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) have manifested His power, knowledge and his attributes more in Gabriel than fly, but the fly and Angel Gabriel themselves are absolutely nothing.

  2. open book exams are different, its been permitted by the examiner so its not considered cheating to use available resources. As for normal exams, yes cheating is haram, whether islamic or non islamic Question: Is it permissible to cheat [in the exams] at public schools, colleges and universities? Is it permissible to cheat [in the exams] at the private Islamic and non-Islamic schools? Answer: Cheating is not allowed in any of these places.

Majority of them are monsters, they are getting millions of dollars and they can’t increase the salary of the employees. im starting to think if working as an employee is really worth it or no, becoming free lancer with unstable salary is better, atleast we are not treating ourselves as slaves.

  6. This is what I was talking about when I said it only hurts you. If you plan to get a job or go to university, you will not know all the things that your peers learned in school. I always tell my students that cheating only hurts them, but some of them just can't see it.

  7. Salam everyone, So I’m not a native Arab and I don’t speak Arabic so forgive my lack of knowledge in this matter. However, I think maybe with how English is which is the language I’m most fluent in, I’ve tried something else when praying Salah. So I try to think in translations of the phrases of Salah in different like pronouns as you would speaking to someone in English. For example, in sujood, for Subhanna rabbi’al ‘Alaa wa bi hamdi, a way I would think of the words before would be “Glory be to Allah, the Most High, and Him do I praise.” Which is along the lines of direct translations I’ve read in the past. But now when I’m saying them I like to say it in my head more along the lines of “Glory be to YOU MY Lord, You are the Most High, and YOU do I praise.” I feel this meaning so much more. I found this has helped me in many places in Salah where I tend to lose concentration. I think in part it has to do with how people think. Some people think in abstract images or ideas where others think in a kind of monologue. I’m the latter, my thoughts are almost always in sentences and it’s how I digest emotions. So I think trying to tie the meanings of the Arabic phrases in Salah to an English speaking connotation actually reinforces the idea that I am standing before Allah (azwj) and speaking to Him. Whereas the direct translations feel like I’m just a spectator in this ritual. Would love to hear your thoughts or if I’m just crazy :’( God bless!

  8. Appearances can be deceiving, when we look at such people, we are 99% unaware of the mental gymnastics they do internally to placate their gnawing conscience. People don't just fake until they make it without a price. There are a few exceptions but they are usually sociopaths or amoral and wired differently from the average person. I agree, but the stakes are much higher in a college/university setting and it can bleed into seemingly unrelated areas like work. One can recover from cheating in elementary and middle school but not in high school or especially, university/college where everyone is adult and hopefully past the age of poor impulse control (Not always the case).

  10. Sadly, sometimes they appear to. In some cases, nobody ever holds them accountable for what they should have learned, or they make excuses, or they buy their "success" without effort. I don't think of my students as being harmed by my vigilance for cheaters after catching some. I can imagine scenarios in which it would be an inconvenience. But at middle school level, I'm not allowed to drop the student from the course or give a failing grade for the entire course. Of my recent pair of cheaters, one transferred to another instructor's class and the other struggled to bring his F up to a C and continues to struggle due to relying on others instead of learning the background material, but he's doing much better now. You can recover from cheating, but it's not easy.

  13. "Mykhailo Podolyak", the advisor of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed today (Sunday): "The targeting of Iranian sites in Isfahan is directly related to the war in Ukraine." https://www.yjc.ir/fa/news/8349071/کی-یف-مدعی-ارتباط-حمله-پهپادی-اصفهان-با-جنگ-اوکراین-شد Al-Qassam: We took control of the Israeli drone Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas announced that they have controlled a droner of the Zionist regime and obtained sensitive information about the Zionist enemy forces. Shahid (martyr) Ze Din al-Qassam Battalions, the military branch of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas", announced this evening (Sunday) in a statement titled (publishing is allowed) that in the recent aggressions of the past few days of the occupying regime ,control of a Zionist regime has been taken and It has been obtained sensitive information about enemy forces. According to Shahab News, al-Qassam announced in his military statement: "With the help of Allah and the success of the battalions of Martyr Ezzeddin Al-Qassam, at dawn on Friday 5 Rajab 1444 AH (7 Bahman)[27/01/2023] they managed to control a Zionist drone that was carrying out a special mission and aggression to violate the Gaza Strip.

  14. Salam video of intercepting one of Israeli drone in isfahan , Iran https://ifilo.net/v/sp1WpyL https://www.irna.ir/news/85013264/جزئیات-جدید-از-حمله-ناموفق-به-کارگاه-وزارت-دفاع-در-اصفهان-عملکرد below picture has been taken from above video which showed explosion is due to explosion of drone itself which caused little damages to roof of warehouse. According to IRNA; In this attack, three advanced quadcopters equipped with bomblets were used, and after hearing the sound of the quadcopters, the perimeter protection agents of the complex tried to fight these drones with their equipments, including weapons and electronic warfare systems, which they managed to shoot down one of them. One of these quadcopters loses its GPS link due to jamming during the confrontation, and this causes it to fall and collide with the roof of the shed. Due to the disruption of its connection and its fall, it hits the roof of the shed. This complex has experienced a similar case before and the measures taken after that incident lead to the fact that no significant damage was caused to its workshops and sheds in this attack. It should be mentioned that another one of these quadcopters, which was less damaged during the confrontation operation, was given to the security forces stationed in the complex. https://www.irna.ir/news/85013514/منابع-آمریکایی-واشنگتن-اسرائیل-را-مسئول-حمله-به-اصفهان-معرفی

    That is Irani accent. I don't like it personally but you cannot say that it is wrong. It's just like the arabic word "Emaan" is often pronounced as "Emayyn" by Arabs, while in Farsi/ Urdu it is just "EmAAn". There is nothing wrong in either style.

  19. 100% Not true^ Cheating in university is also bad, it's not an exception. When you cheat in university, you risk academic suspension or expulsion. Plus, once you have a record of cheating, it becomes infinitely harder to transfer or go on to graduate school or in the case of expulsion, readmitted to college in the future. Also the instructors will automatically fail you and give an F, that's what my instructors did. If you cheat in a university/college, you can be held legally liable and fined as well. Plus the school/university can be sued by their sponsors or government agencies. Also, you can make life difficult for other students who are serious in their studies, as the school and instructors have to police the class for any further cheating, instead of teaching the class. Again, I cannot believe this answer. It's not the cheater that gets affected, everyone is affected and cheating makes life really difficult overall. Cheaters never prosper.

  20. Thanks this is exactly what I meant. Only Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) exists therefor there is no such thing as Him “depending” one anything. His Will is the ultimate and He Willed to be known. From Chittick’s book The Sufi Path of Knowledge (about Ibn Arabi’s views.): I think Hossein Nasr briefly touches on the hadith here:

  21. Whoever said that is an absolute liar, I cannot believe what I am reading. Cheating in school and engaging in academic dishonesty is always wrong and serves no purpose to the cheater. It doesn't matter if the subject is open book in a private school or is non-Islamic in nature. If you don't put in the work, you will never learn or understand the material you are studying . And if you cheat in a private school, public school or college/university, you will get expelled or kicked out of the school. Nobody needs a fatwa to see that this is clearly wrong. Unbelievable, I am just shocked by the lack of common sense.

  22. Iran has probably got elements working with nwo. I was asking myself the same thing. It could be that Iran was desperate to comply, and this was something every country was involved in pretty much. I remember reading a blog something back about Iran (I'm still reading up to understand more) It showed how some within Iran were aligned with the nwo. If I find it I will share it here. Although I don't doubt the good and true ones of Iran. "Are they runned by globalist and masons? Some of their politiians were atending WEF like Rohani and Zarif." Could it also be possible that with the way the world system of governance is at the present-sovereign countries have to have a voice in someway? Or that they are going with the program.

    Can anyone send me clear fatwa from any marja saying mortgage and interest is 100% halal without changing intention since you know that you will be paying interest also no such thing as fixed price for 30 years in Australia so are you going to paying more or less than borrowed amount. with so much evidence form Quran and Hadith why riba is wrong it’s an unjust system. Renting = dead money? You using someone service/item/home hence you gotta pay for it nothing is free. I pay $530 a week rent my parents pay $5500 a month I don’t see the need to live in debt just to own a home after 30 years if you live long enough. Both my parents have to work just to provide but Al hamdullilah I can provide for my family of a single income. Think about all of these things. Don’t fall into the traps and sometimes you have to take sacrifices for the sake of allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى)

    Have you had a fixed rate mortgage ? I've had 2. What I described is not a fixed rate mortgage. With a fixed rate mortgage, you pay ONLY interest for the first 10 years or so (I'm not sure you know what an amortization schedule is. You can look it up). For the first 10 years or so, you are basically renting the house. You're principle doesn't decrease (maybe by a few dollars). You are still responsible for 100% of the loan amount (approx 100%) should you decide to leave the house or you can't make the payments. If you are a few days late with the payment, the bank can come in, take your house, give you nothing, and you are stuck with a huge bill (penalties). Oh, and you don't have a house. So you are now homeless. The bank loses nothing. They will kick you out, then turn around and sell the house, or maybe wait a few years and sit on it (because they have the money to do this) until they can sell it for more money. So you take all the risk, and they get all the reward. This is an unjust system. It's ok if you don't want to acknowledge this, I'm not speaking to you specifically. The other financial products such as variable rate mortgages, reverse mortgages, etc, are scams, not loans. They are worse than this. Also, the only people (nowdays) who qualify for fixed rate mortgages with a somewhat reasonable interest rate (if there is such a thing) are those with high incomes and nearly perfect credit. This is about 10% of the US population. The rest will have no choice other than going for these scam products (like variable rate) if they want to live in a house and not throw their money down the toilet (i.e. renting). An Islamic system (investment, not interest based) would solve most of these problems. Most people in the US, non muslims, would prefer the Islamic system over the current system (there have been surveys done about this, but do you really need a survey to tell you the obvious) but it is not happening (real Islamic banks) and the only reason is the stranglehold the mega finance corps like Chase, BOA, etc, have over the US political system via their bribes (oops, I mean political campaign donations).

  28. Dear Ashvazdanghe Salam e masnoon, You are among the ones who normally react to posts thank you for that , however, you would agree when a kalam is written and posted in praise or aza of ahlulbait, its reward from Allah and ahlulbait is well documented. The purpose of the poet or writer is not only to seek sawab and reward for himself , he also wants to communicate certain facts or re-emphasize the beliefs or to put a thought in circulation among momeneen. Also to create sharpness in discussing and understanding literature on an " adabi" note . So reaction of readers with criticism is more important than appreciation. It gives an estimate to the writer as to how much he is able to communicate to the readers. This part of involvement from the readers is missing in this (Urdu) forum. This is the reason I tried to wake the sleeping reader....nothing else. I shall re start sending with a hope that my message has been received by co readers (Response delayed as I was not visiting this site due to engagements) Kind Regards

  35. The Maximum limit of ibadat is to reach the Hijab between Aabid and Mabood and we should learn and understand what is meant by Hijab ullah and what s hijab ullah. Its only than that you can argue if doing sajda infornt of zareeh-e-Aqdas or Alam Mubarak is allowed or not. Im Happy to see that people have actually realised tthat we should not oppose such things - trust me its a very positive sign in understanding the depth of Ibadat and if my brothers and sisters start reading the sacred texts and books of tradition and Ma'arefat, i assure you that atleast a thousand Gates of knowledge would open up if you start reading about Ma'arefat of AhlulBait (as). I would advise everyone to start their quest for knowledge from the first sermon of Nahjul Balagha which if understood will change the whole meaning of touheed and people will start to realize that Touheed is not what they think it is but is a totally different thing. I would also like to remind momineen and mominaat that When Our Imam (as) would re appear and start teaching Islam, the shias would say this is not the islam that we know or were following - its totally diferent. Its high time we start learning the religion that was passed to us by Aimma Athaar (as) and we should continue our quest for knowledge from Cradle to Grave and try to get the original texts which are conveyed from Aimma (as). You may be thinking that what i have written is not relevant to the topic but trust me it is 100% relevant and im suggesting to read about maarrefat because if i write the quotations here , many people will start issuing fatwa of Kufr on me just because they will not be able to understand the depths of Ma'arefat. Ill end this post with a quotation from Hazrat Salman Farsi (as) Hazrat Salman farsi (as) said " If people understand what Wilayat-e-Moula ALi (as) is the birds and Fish and many other creatures would come in their (momin's) obediance" SUBHANALLAH

  37. Books and learning resources and education have an impact on people realizing their capabilities. But there is also an impact even earlier in the first years just from spending the first years in a more informationally complex environment. There is also, prenatally the factor of better maternal nutrition and prenatal care. All of these factors add up to modern people being on the average inherently more intelligent, and also more able to realize the potential of that intelligence. Altogether, this makes the difference between the average modern person and the average premodern/medieval person as something like the difference between that of an adult and a child.

  38. i don't think sufis believe creation is pure non-existence though. Allah is apparently pure existence, and some sufis believe creation has levels of existence. However creation does exist, and its not the case that it doesn't have existence, i think its erroneus for a person to claim that creation is non-existent, its a nonsensical statement. Point however is that I cannot see why God would rely on creation to know himself. It implies a deficiency in God, and for him to be God, the absolute perfect, he must have creation with him by this logic. Its against his self-sufficiency. Is this hadith qudsi even authentic? I will also say that maybe there's an explanation im not aware of, but so far im not convinced, but its important to ask whether the hadith is authentic or not.

  41. Yes, of course you will be forgiven, but you still will have to deal with the consequences of your actions. All of the learning that you didn't do, you're going to have to do on your own now, without a guide, or you will remain behind your peer group. Cheating in school, except university or higher, or some trade schools, only hurts you, nobody else.
