Oh I know, especially since most Zionist Jews are atheists.

Nothing is going to happen, nor their messiah will come by trying to force themselves to build a man made temple. Whatever they are doing is never accepted, and the belivers jews know this very well. Even in their book it is clear that Messiah will gather them, not zionist jews. There really is nothing special anymore with Judaism and Christianity because God choosed Islam over all religions even if they don't like it. This means that nor Christianity nor Judaism will lead anything when the Messiah comes, rather everything will spread by Islamic shariah and values.

I despise anyone who: - Normalises relationship with Israel - Speaks against the resistance - Calls for a two-state solution

Not only atheist, but fascist and evil ones.

@Diaz, "Benjamin Netanyahu was told by a powerful Jewish religious figure that he would be Israel’s last (secular) leader and hand the scepter to the Messiah. How does this so-called prophecy effect Netanyahu’s political calculations? And who is the mysterious religious figure, honored by successive U.S. presidents simply known as The Rebbe?" / Why The 'Messiah Prophecy' Haunts Netanyahu / 13 minutes / TRT World

The sacrifice of the red cows is related to the Jewish temple rituals, specifically purifying the ground it's built on. With the absence of their temple it's a ritual that has been rendered obsolete. At least until now, as they're clearly trying to rebuild it.

From: Waṣiyyah of Imām ʿAlī (عليه السلام) on his deathbed. | Al-Islaah This is transmitted in both Shia and Sunni works, and is mass transmitted across the sects In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is what ʿAlī bin Abī Ṭālib has left as his waṣiyyah (last will and final testament), that he bears witness that there is no God but Allāh alone, without any partner, and that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger, whom He sent with guidance and the religion of truth to establish and manifest it over all religions, even if the polytheists detest it. May Allāh bless him and his family. Then, ‘verily, my prayers, my rites, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. He has no partner, and with this, I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims’. Next, I advise you, O Ḥasan, and all the members of my household, my children, and whoever receives my message, to observe and exercise taqwā (piety) towards Allāh, your Sustainer. Do not die except as Muslims! ‘Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh, all of you, and do not be divided.’ Verily, I heard the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) saying: “Reconciliation of differences is better than general prayers and fasting, and the destroyer which ruins the religion is sowing discord and division. There is no power except with Allāh, the Exalted, the Great. Look after your close relatives, and make things easy for them. So that Allāh may make the ḥisāb (reckoning and accountability to Allāh) easy for you. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of orphans, do not subject them to neglect, and do not let them perish in your presence. I have heard the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) saying: ‘He who brings up an orphan until he (i.e. the orphan) becomes self-sufficient, Allāh will make entering Paradise obligatory for him, just as He has made the fire obligatory for the one who devours the wealth and property of the orphan. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of the Qur’ān; no one should surpass you in acting upon it. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of your neighbors, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave lots of advice and recommendations in their favour, and the Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) kept recommending kindness to them until we thought he would give them a share in our inheritance. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of the House of your Lord, see to it that it is never empty of you completely, for if you leave it unattended, you will not be granted respite, and the least reward that the one who visits it (i.e the House of Allāh) gets is forgiveness of all past sins. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of ṣalāh (prayer), for it is the best of deeds; it is the pillar of your religion. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of zakāt (obligatory charity), for paying it extinguishes the wrath of your Lord. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of the month of Ramaḍān, for its fasting is a shield from the Hellfire. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of the poor and the destitute, so make them partners in your livelihood (i.e. share some of what Allāh has given you with them). (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of jihād with your wealth, yourselves, and your tongues, for verily, only two men strive, one being an imām who calls to guidance, and the other following him in his guidance. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh in the matter of the offspring of your Prophet, so do not wrong them in your presence and don’t let them be oppressed while you have power and are able to defend them. (Remember) Allāh! (and fear) Allāh the matter of women and in what your right hands possess, for the last thing your Prophet spoke of was: ‘I advise you to be kind to the weaker sex, the women, and the slaves’, as that was the last thing he spoke of. Say good to people as Allāh has commanded you, and do not abandon enjoining good and forbidding evil, for if you do, Allāh will allow the evil ones among you to rule over you, then you will supplicate, but your supplications will not be answered. I enjoin upon you mutual goodwill, generosity, and giving precedence to others over yourselves. Beware of breaking off relations, hating each other, and being slow in good-doing and cooperation. ‘Seek assistance in virtue and piety, and do not seek assistance in sin and aggression. Fear Allāh, for verily, Allāh is severe in punishment.’ May Allāh protect you from the people of my household and preserve in you my Prophet. I entrust you to Allāh and read the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allāh upon you. Then, he kept saying, ‘Lā ilāha illa Allāh’ until he passed away; Allāh’s prayers and mercy be upon him.4

I'm not sure why you made this a discussion about bid'ah when there is strong evidence on both sides. First of all the view of the opposite sect is largely irrelevant, in fact there are commands to take what opposes them. Who cares what they say anyway, what matters is what our scholars and corpus say. Secondly, our hadiths themselves are divided on this issue, so it is not like this was "made" a issue in the later periods, this was always a dispute amongst the classical scholars, as mentioned by the classical scholars themselves. Thirdly, who said it is the majority opinion of our scholars? Muhaqiq Al-Hilli disagrees (even though he agrees with the view early Maghrib view itself), he says it is not as famous as the other opinion. As did Al-Majlisi, who said majority of the companions were also of the later Maghrib view. And Sayyed Al-Khoei also agreed with the view of Al-Hilli that the later Maghrib view is more famous. Finally, who says later views aren't more correct? Who says later ulama aren't more knowledgable? The current scholars have knowledge of usool and ilm al-hadith and other uloom which far exceed the classical scholars, especially the traditionalists who didn't really ascribe or put weight in such sciences. Also, alot of our ulama aren't against an early maghrib per se, but advise ihtiyat in waiting, and that's because there's strong evidence from both sides. You are not a Faqih so leave people to follow who they believe is the most learned.

They give the median survival for that stage of disease, its an estimate based on patient data. So its not an definite answer. Ive seen people cure their disease without western medicine so everything is possible and prayers definitely work. Why should it be the other way around? i wish i was this delusional lol Will the clubs even let you in with you looking like a grandpa hahaha If i had few years left to live id probably start my camping hobby since i then dont have to worry about getting killed in the woods.

I was talking to this guy who was a millionaire in turkey and erdogan found out him and his dad were against him, and his dad got thrown into jail for 2 years and they had to flee the country

Lol, may Allah forgive you

A cunning merchant who backstab for highest bidder.

I don't think he will come right now, but I believe there will be time when Muslims will free the Palestine first and after that he could come and try to take Palestine back by his army then he will be killed.

^^^@Diaz, a substantial portion of Surah Al-Baqarah deals with this sacred red cow issue

@Diaz, Red Heifer Wikipedia page for further reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_heifer Red heifer 13 languages Article Talk Read Edit View history Tools From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A red cow Part of Judaic series of articles on Ritual purity in Judaism Tumah and taharah Mikveh hide Purification methods Netilat yadayim Mikveh Red heifer Hefsek taharah Hagalah Tevilat Kelim show Hierarchy show Sources of Impurity v t e The red heifer (Hebrew: פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה, romanized: pārā ʾădummā), a female bovine which has never been pregnant or milked or yoked, also known as the red cow, was a cow brought to the priests as a sacrifice according to the Torah, and its ashes were used for the ritual purification of corpse uncleanness, that is, an Israelite who had come into contact with a human corpse, human bone, or grave. [1] Hebrew Bible[edit] The red heifer offering instructions are described in Numbers 19. The children of Israel were commanded to obtain "a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke".[2] The heifer is then to be slaughtered and burned outside of the camp.[3] Cedar wood, oregano, and wool or yarn dyed scarlet are added to the fire, and the remaining ashes are placed in a vessel containing pure spring water.[4] In order to purify a person who has become ritually contaminated by contact with a corpse, water from the vessel is sprinkled on him, using a bunch of hyssops (oregano), on the third and seventh day of the purification process.[5] The priest who performs the ritual then becomes ritually impure, and must then wash himself and his clothes in living waters. He is deemed impure until evening. Mishnah[edit] The Mishnah, the central compilation of the Oral Torah in Rabbinic Judaism, the oral component of the written Torah, contains a tractate on the red heifer, Tractate Parah ("cow") in Seder Tohorot, which explains the procedures involved. The tractate has no existing Gemara, although commentary on the procedure appears in the Gemarah for other tractates of the Talmud. Details of the commandment[edit] According to Mishnah Parah, the presence of two black hairs invalidates a red heifer, in addition to the usual requirements of an unblemished animal for sacrifice. There are various other requirements, such as natural birth (The caesarian section renders a heifer candidate invalid).[6] The water must be "living" (i.e., spring water). This is a stronger requirement than for a ritual bath (mikveh); rainwater accumulated in a cistern is permitted for a mikveh but cannot be used in the red heifer ceremony. The Mishnah reports that in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem, water for the ritual came from the Pool of Siloam. The ceremony involved was complex and detailed. To ensure the complete ritual purity of those involved, care was taken to ensure that no one involved in the red heifer ceremony could have had any contact with the dead or any form of tumah, and implements were made of materials such as stone, which in Jewish law do not act as carriers for ritual impurities. The Mishnah recounts that children were used to draw and carry the water for the ceremony, children born and reared in isolation for the specific purpose of ensuring that they never came into contact with a corpse: Various other devices were used, including a causeway from the Temple Mount to the Mount of Olives so that the heifer and accompanying priests would not come into contact with a grave.[7] According to the Mishnah, the ceremony of the burning of the red heifer took place on the Mount of Olives. A ritually pure kohen slaughtered the heifer and sprinkled its blood in the direction of the Temple seven times. The red heifer was then burned on a pyre, together with crimson dyed wool, hyssop, and cedarwood. In recent years, the site of the burning of the red heifer on the Mount of Olives has been tentatively located by archaeologist Yonatan Adler.[8] Color[edit] The heifer's color is described in the Torah as adumah (אדומה‎), normally translated as "red". However, Saadia Gaon translates this word as Judeo-Arabic: صفرا, romanized: ṣafrā, a word translated to English as "yellow".[9] In addition, the Quran describes Moses being commanded about a "yellow" cow (al-Baqara 2:69). To explain this discrepancy, Yosef Qafih in his Hebrew translation and commentary on Saadia's work argues that the Bible requires the cow to have a ruddy light-brown color, which he says is the normal color of a cow. He says this color is in general described as אדום‎ in Hebrew and "yellow" in Arabic, resolving the discrepancy in the color words. He explains the Biblical requirement to mean that the cow be entirely of this color, and not have blotches or blemishes of a different color.[10] Jewish tradition[edit] A red heifer that conforms with all of the requirements imposed by halakha is practically a biological anomaly. For example, the animal must be entirely of one color (a series of tests listed by the sages must be performed to ensure this) and the hair of the cow must be absolutely straight (to ensure that the cow had not previously been yoked, as this would be a disqualifier). According to Jewish tradition, only nine red heifers were actually slaughtered in the period extending from Moses to the destruction of the Second Temple. Mishna Parah recounts them, stating that Moses prepared the first, Ezra the second, Simeon the Just and Johanan the High Priest prepared two each, and Elioenai ben HaQayaph, Ananelus, and Ishmael ben Fabus prepared one each.[11] The extreme rarity of the animal, combined with the detailed ritual in which it is used, have given the red heifer special status in Jewish tradition. It is cited as the paradigm of a ḥoq, a biblical law for which there is no apparent logic. Because the state of ritual purity obtained through the ashes of a red heifer is a necessary prerequisite for participating in Temple service, efforts have been made in modern times by Jews wishing for biblical ritual purity (see tumah and taharah) and in anticipation of the building of the Third Temple to locate a red heifer and recreate the ritual. However, multiple candidates have been disqualified. The Temple Institute states: Apparently, red heifer ashes were still in use as late as the time of Jeremiah (III) in the fourth century.[13] Temple Institute[edit] Main article: Temple Institute The Temple Institute, an organization dedicated to preparing the reconstruction of a Third Temple in Jerusalem, has been attempting to identify red heifer candidates consistent with the requirements of Numbers 19:1–22 and Mishnah Tractate Parah.[14][15] In recent years, the institute thought to have identified two candidates, one in 1997 and another in 2002.[16] The Temple Institute had initially declared both kosher but later found each to be unsuitable. The institute has been raising funds in order to use modern technology to produce a red heifer that is genetically based on the Red Angus.[17] In September 2018, the institute announced a red heifer candidate was born saying "the heifer is currently a viable candidate and will be examined [to see] whether it possess[es] the necessary qualifications for the red heifer."[18][19] In September 2022, five red cows were imported from the United States and transferred to a breeding farm in Israel. Rabbis consider the cows kosher for sacrifice.[20] Quran[edit] The second and the longest sura (chapter) in the Quran is named "al-Baqara" (Arabic: البقرة "the cow" or "the heifer") after the heifer as the commandment is related in the sura. Ibn Kathir explains that according to ibn Abbas and Ubayda ibn al-Harith, it displayed the stubbornness of the Children of Israel, who asked unnecessary questions to the prophets without readily following any commandment from God; had they slaughtered a cow, any cow, it would have been sufficient for them - but instead, as they made the matter more difficult, God made it even more difficult for them.[22] Christian tradition[edit] The non-canonical Epistle of Barnabas (8:1) explicitly equates the red heifer with Jesus. In the New Testament, the phrases "without the gate" (Hebrews 13:12) and "without the camp" (Numbers 19:3, Hebrews 13:13) have been taken to be not only an identification of Jesus with the red heifer, but an indication as to the location of the crucifixion.[23] Modern-day usage[edit] The red heifer is the official mascot of Gann Academy, a Jewish high school located in Waltham, Massachusetts.[24] In the 2013 South Park episode "Ginger Cow", a red heifer is the centre of the plot. In March 2024, the Temple Institute proposed a red heifer sacrifice.[25]

The First Temple (i.e. Solomon's Temple) was destroyed during the Siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar 2 in 587 B.C.E....the Second Temple was destroyed during the Roman siege of Jerusalem amidst the height of the First Jewish–Roman War in 70 A.D....they (i.e. Jews) haven't sacrificed a flawless red heifer since the destruction of the Second Temple...the modern-day occultists in Tel Aviv are attempting to "force" Messiah into compliance and hasten his return by performing a series of acts and rituals...what has transpired in Gaza since October 7th has a lot to do with destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque, rebuilding the Third Temple, sacrificial offering of the red heifer etc....the secularist mainstream news media is completely ignoring this aspect of the conflict...normative, sane, traditionalist Judaism maintains that a normal (i.e. natural) red heifer must be found in nature and then sacrificed...and the Jews must wait for an organic red-colored cow to be found naturally...regardless of how long it takes...even if takes 1,000 or 2,000 years or however long...the Religious Zionists are trying to stiff-arm God and hurry Him up into subordination by offering a genetically modified cow as an atonement offering...they're summoning something and it's anything but Godly

I’m confused with this video, why they did not slaughter the red cow since Roman Empire? They want to do it now to summon dajjal (la) or what?

Paper muslim.....bought and paid for!

May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) guide us by these words and help us to imply it to our life.

I would disagree. The differences between the rationalist Baghdadi school and the traditionalist Qummi school of the classical era were vast in many ways. I would say there was a great difference of opinion between the companions of the Imams (عليه السلام) on some basic tenets of aqeeda, including fundamentals. And likewise among the companions of the Prophet (saww), where after his death you see differences arise on simple aspects of the Deen. I don't see the generational gap as big of a difference maker as you do. Differences were always there and will continue to be.

To those breaking their fast and hearing the Adhan: 1.) Here is what Al-Sadooq (d. 381 AH) has said concerning the 3rd testimony. Here are his actual words. هَذَا هُوَ الْأَذَانُ الصَّحِيحُ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِ وَ لَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُ وَ الْمُفَوِّضَةُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَدْ وَضَعُوا أَخْبَاراً وَ زَادُوا فِي الْأَذَانِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ فِي بَعْضِ رِوَايَاتِهِمْ بَعْدَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى بَدَلَ ذَلِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ لَا شَكَّ فِي أَنَّ عَلِيّاً وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَصْلِ الْأَذَانِ وَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِيُعْرَفَ بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةِ الْمُتَّهَمُونَ بِالتَّفْوِيضِ الْمُدَلِّسُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي جُمْلَتِنَا Translation: "This is the Authentic / Correct (SaHeeH) adhaan; nothing is to be added or subtracted from it. The mufawwidah's (form of ghullah), may Allaah curse them, have fabricated traditions and have added to the adhaan مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ (Muhammad and the family of Muhammad are the best of mankind) twice. In some of their traditions, after saying أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allaah) (they add) أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ (I bear witness that 'Alee is the Walee of Allaah) twice. Among them there are others who narrate this أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (I bear witness that 'Alee is the commander of the faithfull) twice. There is NO doubt that 'Alee is the walee of God and that he is the true commander of the faithful and that Muhammad and his family, peace be upon them, are the best of creatures. However, that is not [part] of the original adhaan. I have mentioned this so that those who have been accused of concocting tafweed and have insulated themselves in our ranks should be known."

Brothers Forum and Sisters Forum are no longer active. We had a female with several different accounts who talked with men and led them on, to the point that they wanted to marry her, then ghosted them when they wanted to meet her parents. We had a male who was banned so many times that he started making female accounts and was talking inappropriately with females by private message. ShiaChat cannot confirm the gender of any member.

You haven't given single narration that separating prayers has more reward. Contrary to this, i shared multiple narrations that earlier the prayers offered (when time has come) the better it is. and many hadiths mention time for two prayers ZUhr Asr come together except for what has to be offered before. Stop being stubborn and stop misguiding people especially in layla tul qadr. ws

after you failed to prove your point? Hell nah You didn't even bother to bring one single authentic hadith per your standards and claiming its Sunnah of Rasool (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)? Besides all references i gave were from Al-Kafi which isn't post Safawid era.

Salam. In the US and Canada, today is the 18th day of fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadan, which means tonight is the time of Ahya, to do your special amal after breaking your fast and praying: duas, tasbih, Holy Qur'an recitation, etc. Duas.org has shortened versions but for those of you who are staying up all night long, there are longer versions. If your studying or job allows it, you can take a nap after zohr and asr prayer, make ghusl when you wake up, then go to Mosque, Islamic Center or Husseiniya for nightly activities. If you are alone, remember you are not alone. Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is always with you. Please make duas for all of us.

THIS RED COW MARKS THE AGE OF DAJJAL / MercifulServant / 3 minutes

The majority of modern day Hanbali/Atharis would dispute this. You differ with the vast majority today of Salafis on this issue, and you differ, my dear brother with the majority of Sunnis on Aqeedah (Asha'ira and Maturidiyya) , specifically on the Asmaah was sifaat of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). You belong in a very minority camp of Hanbali/Atharis who promote calling out in supplication to GhairAllah, i.e. saints or prophets yet have the same Aqeedah as the Salafis in the names/attributes of Allah i.e. his hands, fingers, foot, shin, eyes. I don't mean you any disrespect brother, but such a fusion in my view, are the weakest Aqeedah points of each group. The salafis are right about making Dua to other than Allah, and the Ashari/Maturidi Sunnis are right about the fact Allah does not have fingers, eyes, a foot, etc literally speaking of course. <> In terms of my Aqeedah, i would agree with the majority of Sunnis and Shias today, in denying Allah has eyes he uses to see, ears he uses to hear, a hand with fingers, a leg with a foot etc. Such things to me, as blasphemy - Allah is one and unified in his oneness, he does not have organs and parts which he uses to see , hear etc. He is not like creation at all. I also do not make Dua to other than Allah. I only call out for my Dua and needs to Allah, across the curtain of Ghayb after using the mortal means of cause and effect of this world. Hadith al-Thaqalayn is muttawatir, and even you accept that among the best paths of the Sunnah are through the Ahlulbayt. You just don't trust a lot of Shia narrators / or most of them, and i am with you largely on this but not as extreme as you on this.

This is a first brother. You're an Athari who promotes calling out to other than Allah for needs? I.e. Saying Ya Muhammad? As per the vast majority of Hanbalis/Atharis (most of who are Salafis) you're committing and promoting shirk. You'd be classed as a Mubtadi, and outside of Islam and the folds of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal jamaah if it can be proven you hold and promote these beliefs and some say it must be done by a Qadhi i.e. takfir.

This isn't a misunderstanding ya Akhi, Umul Mumineen Aisha recognised Imam Ali as. Imagine, when the Prophet saw was so badly ill and facing imminent death, she could not bring herself to even say his name in a good context, but was able to give the name of Ibn Abbas. When she learned Ali was dearer to the Prophet than her father, she shouted at the Prophet to the extent her father had to intervene. She threw plates of food on the floor according to saheeh hadith, and Allah himself had to warn her severely in the Quran (as well as Hafsa) about her plot against the Prophet saw, even threatening them to replace wives better if they persisted. This is why brother, we find the classical Sunni account a white wash of the Sahaba. If you can't accept she was jealous of Ali or showed clear jealousy, and showed jealousy towards other wives of the Prophet saw, and arguably was a very young woman that got married at the age of 6 or 9 and so had a lot to grow in terms of maturity, and was only human, it makes your narrative less balanced. Nobody says to believe crazy things about her, like killing the Prophet saw, committing adultery or being a Kaffira. I don't believe these things. Nobody says to curse or abuse her. However, the most balanced account of her is this - she didn't openly and outright lie in my view, she generally was pious and loved the Prophet saw, but she had major character flaws, jealousy, disobeying the Prophet saw, and being a lead architect of the first civil war in Islam against the command of her Ulil Amr, and thus indirectly being the cause of the death of thousands of Sahaba. Fatima was superior to her, Khadija was superior to her, and she is not an evil person, nor is she the best role model of this Ummah. We respect her because of her relationship to the Prophet saw. She was not an out and out enemy who wanted to murder Ali, but she was biased against him, so she may have narrated some vague merits like hadith al-Kisa which actually put her in good favour i.e. Allah revealing verses in her house or the like.

Salam, The Ashab of every single Prophet had different ranks and Darajah, this is clear in the Quran. Many times we find in the noble Quran, some Sahaba staying firm, and some being arrogant (hunayn) fleeing from the Prophet (Hunayn) disobeying his commands (Uhud), conspiring to plot against him (Wives i.e. Umahaat ul Mumineen Aisha and Hafsha) etc We find Ashab killed one another, Ammar b. Yassir ra was slaughtered by the army of Mu'awiyah for instance. This is why we say you can't blanket claim they were all super heroes, the best of the best, the best role models, and above criticism and all just, when they killed each other, cursed each other, and did these things. We say the majority of the Sahaba insha Allah, were upright, pious and God fearing people until proven otherwise. But not every single one, and certainly not the ones who fought and killed the Ahlulbayt and other major Akbaar of the Sahaba.

A lot of these isolated narrations that claimed so and so was more beloved could well be fabricated. Khabar al-Wahid does not give us Yaqeen, especially when historically we find inconsistencies. However, i do agree with Umul Mumineen Aisha, who despite having jealousy towards Ali b. Abi Talib, swore on Allah that she had reached conviction that the Prophet loved Ali more than her father: Umm al-Mumineen A’isha herself demonstrated anger and jealousy in an authentic narration when being convinced the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) favoured Ali above Abu Bakr: Abdah b. ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Amro b. Muhammad from Yunes b. Abi Ishaq from al-‘Izar b. Hurayth from al-Nu’man b. Basheer, he said: One day Abu Bakr excused himself from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) to leave him until he heard ‘Aisha saying in a loud voice; “By Allah, I have learned that ‘Ali (عليه السلام) is more beloved to you than my father!”. Abu Bakr then came to hit her and said, “O daughter of so-and-so! I see that you raise your voice towards the Messenger of Allah?!”. Then the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) grabbed him and Abu Bakr left while furious. Then the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: “O ‘Aisha! Have you seen how I saved you from the man?”. Then Abu Bakr excused himself and the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) made peace between Abu Bakr and ‘Aisha. [Khasa’is Amir al-Mu’mineen, al-Nasa’i, page 126, Hadeeth 110] Grading: Isnad Saheeh (Authentic chain as per Al-Arnaut] <> It even reached a point whereby A’isha could not even bring herself to use the name of Ali, intriguing given the Sunni interpretation of the Prophet declaring himself a friend of whom Ali is the friend of – which didn’t seem to have been heard by the mother of the believers: When Ubaidullah Ibn Utbah mentioned to Ibn Abbas that Aisha said “In his death-illness the Prophet was brought to (Aisha’s) house while his shoulders were being supported by Fadhl Ibn Abbas and another person”, then Abdullah Ibn Abbas said: “Do you know who this ‘other man’ was?” Ibn Utbah replied: “No.” Then Ibn Abbas said: “He was Ali Ibn Abi Talib, but she is averse to name him in a good context.” [Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal, Volume 6 page 228 Tradition 25956] Shaykh Shoib al-Arnaut stated:“The chain is Sahih according to the standards of the two Sheiks (Bukhari & Muslim)” Bukhari also reports: “..and another man.” ‘Ubaidullah said, “When I informed Ibn ‘Abbas of what ‘Aisha had said, he asked me whether I knew who was the second man whom ‘Aisha had not named. I replied in the negative. He said, ‘He was ‘Ali bin Abi Talib.”

But what will you two brothers say about each other? Brother Sunnism is an Ashari/Maturidi who promotes Tawassul and deems Istigatha as permissible i.e. calling out to the Prophet and other than Allah for help. His view of Allah is close to Shias i.e agrees Allah does not have a literal hand, foot, eyes, a shin or fingers. He regards Salafis like Qadri_01 as misguided, not from the ahlus-Sunnah and maybe even boderline or actual Mujassimah. Conversely, brother Qadri_01 is a Salafi, Athari and affirms calling out to other than Allah for needs and Dua is impermissible and shirk (i agree). However he claims brother Sunnism is a Mubtadi in Aqeedah, not from the Ahlus-Sunnah wal jamaah, in beliefs promotes shirk and kufr, and is a Jahmiyya in his view of the Asmaa was Sifaat of Allah, because brother Qadri_01 affirms Allah has a hand with fingers, a face with two eyes and two ears (as per Ibn Taymiyyah). We're arguing about Sahaba, and i don't side fully with Shias on this by the way. But you have much bigger problems ya Ikhwaan on fundamental differences on the Rububiyaa and Uluhiiyaaa of Allah azwj himself, which is a much graver issue.

The Ahlulbayt are the foremost of the Sahaba mentioned in the Quran ya Akhi. They are not a separate group or entity, they include Ali and Fatima at a minimum, and obviously Hasan and Hussain. Imam Suyuuti i believe noted there is no other Shaba whose virtues are mentioned more in the noble Quran than Ali. However, what we are trying to tell you brother, is that not all Sahaba were equal. Look at the Ashaab of every other prophet, among them are ranks, Darajaat. There were the foremost, most pious, then there were those who maybe intended good but were a bit more careless, and then there maybe groups who outwardly were pious but had hidden intentions. The sahaba generally were a pious, upright group, but even among the good people, some people had slip ups, jealousy, fought and killed each other, and are therefore not immune to academic, respectful and constructive criticism. If two groups fight and kill each other, you can not claim both groups are Aadil. <> If we , for sake of argument say Abu Bakr and Umar were among the most foremost, i'd argue Ali is a level above without taking anything from them. Put aside isolated praise, if you look at the actions of the individuals, no other man comes out on top. Handed the banner at Badr, killed the most at Badr and is referred to as the one of the two groups of people in the Quran against the disbelievers, defeated Marhab, Amr b. Abdi Wud, when Abu Bakr and Umar had failed at taking Khaybar, he was miraculously healed from an eye condition and Muhammed saw said he is the one Allah loves and Allah loves him. He is from the Ahlulbayt, blessed under the Kisa, and regarded as the Mawla of the believers, the Ahlulbayt of Muhamad and the second of the two weighty things. Look at the merits of what they did, rather than isolated praise which we don't know if it is fabricated or not or inflated. If we then argue about men like Mu'awiyah, i'd say he was more interested in clanship, ruling, and putting his Banu Ummayah clan first. He had strong jealousy towards the Banu Hashim and there is Ijma he appointed Nawasib governers like Marwan b. al-Hakkam and he as per Ibn Taymiyyah even cursed and abused Ali. He fought Ali, forced Hasan into a peace treaty or agreement, and even Umm Salama was shocked at how wide spread the abuse of Ali had become among the Banu Ummayah. Do you think they cursed Ali without approval and encouragement of the elites among the Banu Ummayah like Mu'awiyah ? Mu'awiyah and his Banu Ummayah clan hated Ali so much, even Imam Nasai' noticed in Shaam the cursing and hatred of Ali echoed centuries later, such he authored an entire book on the merits of Ali. Some more extreme Shias have a tunnel vision view of the Sahaba, but there are many Sunnis who have a disney land, fairy tale view that is against the Quran and completely ahistorical. It's fairy tale, superhero worship of normal people who had different Darajaat.

Yes. Hajj is only wajib if you CAN go, and taking out debt at interest is haram.

I am living my life as well as I am able, except I might make a point to go for Hajj and Ziyarat sooner rather than later if I knew that my time is likely to be limited. Mostly, though, I am happy to spend time with my kids and try to make the world a better place, and if I were to die today I would be sad to not be here for my family and friends, but overall life has been good. My sister's husband was given two months to live, five years ago. Doctors are not always right, or maybe prayers work, or most likely both.

I don't like the analogy of ' try before u buy' because you are not a product like a car or a toaster. A potential spouse is a complex human being and a lot of sisters and families conspire to 'cover up' major flaws which could end the marriage like personality disorders or former or current haram acts. The only way to know that you are marrying the spouse u think u are marrying is by getting to know them. Anyone can spout off a list of values and say 'i believe in this and this'. There is no way to know if what they are saying is true unless you get to know them i.e. spend time with them in different ways and situations. It doesn't have to be years but at least months. To do this while maintaining mahram / non mahram boundaries is almost impossible. IMHO this is one of the major reasons why there is so much divorce on the Muslim community and it is increasing. Most people don't actually know who they are marrying so they get surprised and shocked after marriage and then want a divorce. Getting to know the spouse better before marriage would solve at least one of the major causes of divorce which I think is a good thing, less divorce

Are you for real. Everything you said above is total anti thesis of Nikah/ Mutah in Shia Islam, and plain derogatory for honorable Shia ladies. In Islam, it’s the woman who initiates the Aqd (time bound aka Mutah or untimed aka Nikah; woman offers herself in marriage and man accepts, essentially woman has the upper hand when it comes to marriage in Islam). How can you ask the communities to “provide” women for Mutah when woman is the one who could initiate it and nobody else, not even her father? تف

The only problem I have with this video series is from a marketing / web presentation standpoint. They have this long intro / fundraising piece at the beginning of the video which makes most viewers click away after a few seconds. That is why their views are a lot lower than they should be, given the high quality of the content They need to do what most podcasts do. Have a short, tight intro to the topic then start. Halfway thru the video is where they should put the fundraising part. If someone has watched to that point it means they are a lot more likely to give AND if someone likes the series but is not interested in that particular topic they are less likely to watch future episodes because they know they will have to watch the long intro to get to the content For example, very few sisters are interested in the topic of Mutah and it's Islamic context. It's a brothers subject. Lol. At the same time there ar other topics in the series that might be of more interest to the sisters. Just a suggestion

I was asking seriously and not rhetorically so thanks, maturity is a good one. A could see an older man definitely seeking that out. But since women mature faster than men typically, a 30 something year old man may still be looking at 20 something year old women for his match maturity wise. A woman's 30's go by really quickly in terms of childbearing. At 35 she is considered a geriatric patient in gynecological terms, and at 40 it's more of an exception than a rule that she can conceive easily and carry to term. Plus you have a LOT less energy to chase kids around so it's just harder. Anyway, those were my reasons why the demand is probably less among that age group. I do hope every woman can get married at any age. And I'm glad that men like you are interested in that age group. But many men would probably marry younger ideally.

Are there benefits to marrying a woman over 30? If there are please list them. I mostly see drawbacks. 1) Fertility years are over or close to being over. 2) Peak physical beauty is over. 3) If she is in a demanding career, she probably can't or doesn't want to stay home with her young kids if she has any. Statistically children thrive best when they are cared for primarily by their own mothers and not by daycares or other types of care. I think the things men prioritize in a wife are fertility, beauty, and being a good mother (besides a good personality, but that isn't age sensitive). So it doesn't really seem "unfair," it is just the tradeoff that a woman chooses if she chooses to delay marriage until a later age. She could choose to get married after university and she would be 23 and still be in high demand and then enter the career world a bit later after the children are in school.

As long as the woman can balance out work and family life (while obviously prioritising family first), then it shouldn't be an issue. Sayyeda Khadijah (عليه السلام) did.

Yes they might have 'numbed' themselves through indulging in other sinful activities, affairs with non-mahrams, prostitutes, chit-chatting with any girl at work and all kinds of addictions, you name it. They will just appear in-different but in reality they are damaging their soul and minds. They might be having multiple 'mut'ah' partners on the side that no one knows about. Yes maybe that is why they appear 'happy' and 'healthy'. Their secrets that no one is aware of. They are doing all this to avoid the pain of being in an 'unfulfilled marriage'. Those who are truly happy (not the temporary 'high' that is obtained through distraction) are themselves and have loving, respectful, obedient and god-conscious wives. I am talking about the 'happiness' or 'joy' that comes with a life of principles, good morals and closeness to God. Again this goes both ways, men and women who work hard to make their marriage fruitful and where both grow together.

Salam this is same for both of men & women that only healthy way for both of men & women is just a "good" marriage which a "bad" marriage for men more riskier for men than women or being a single man because sometime women can tolerate a bad marriage for sake of their children but on the othe other hand when a men will be in a "bad " marriage so then total corruption will be initiated for men which men maybe start damaging children or indulge in sinful activities whether inside or outside house likewise engaging in porn sites & etc . This is totally wrong because Islamically men must have a valid reason for divorce also it will be not easy for men because at least they must they must pay full dowry also in case of having children they can't negate their duties toward their children . It maybe happens for women in similar fashion of men too which in some cases maybe a a man raises their children after illness or death of his wife singel handly which it will be more difficult for men than women . i totally agree with this part . It's also two sided for both of men & women because both sides are imperfect which both sides must step up toward each other to make things better for both sides by sacrifice for each other . There is no problem about women becoming lawyers or doctors although they only can't be judges or rulers which expect these two positions women can reach to other positions . It depends on many factors & situation which still in easterner countries a woman can receive help of her family after death o divorce of her husband also some countries likewise Iran provide governmental support for these type of women if their family can't support them .

Bismillah, I was going to say almost the same thing. It's not all but some who have the problem. The ones who value their husband and their family over career and make this the first priority I don't think have a problem. When a man talks to a women for marriage it is very easy to tell (for most men) the ones who prioritize their career over family. It is by how they talk and what things they focus on in the conversation and sometimes the demands that they have (but not always). There is something that these sisters don't understand. Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is Al Razak (The Provider of Sustenance) and it is the man's who is the channel that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has chosen to bring this rizk to the family therefore it is the man's duty to provide for the family financially. Women sometimes help in this role due to necessity, but if a women, from the beginning before any crisis has happened and before there is any necessity to do this chooses to take that role and bypass the system that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has created then this is a problem. This is showing that she may give lip service to the Islamic idea of the family but she doesn't recognize it in practice. Like I said, this is easy for most men to figure out. The issue of career and work is seperate from education. If the circumstances allow, women should be encouraged to get an education and finish her education. An education doesn't have to mean a career. A career is ok so long as it doesn't interfere with her duties as a mother and a wife but in most career it does. Bosses are very demanding and they don't care and don't recognize the fact that a women has other duties and other responsibilities (i.e. her family). They pay lip service to the idea of family and 'work life balance' but anyone who has been in a career for a while in the West realizes that this is a facade. Bosses don't care about work life balance, they care that the job gets done and meeting their own financial goals, i.e. making a profit for themselves and the company. Men work because they have to and this is their duty and their jihad fe sabilillah. A women's role is different and many women today are confused on this issue.

In my opinion, Some of the Muslims women in the west don't have the desire to get married as they don't feel like they need men. Also they are more focused on their careers. They also have high expectation and have to be from well known family. As I said, Some of the the muslims women, NOT all of them. This is just my opinion. Others May differ.

In this scenario, we have a sahabi who was pious in the Prophet's time, and - if the narrations are correct - he recognized the right of `Ali and was martyred for it, along with the rape of his wife. As I said in the original post, some companions were on a higher level than others. But this man did his duty and was one of the first to be unjustly killed in the fitna. They too would be punished, but zakaat can be paid at any point in the year, and it does not need to be given to the Imam like khums. On the other hand, Abu Bakr went to war with the zakat-withholders right after he became in charge of the Caliphate. For all we know, maybe the people had already paid zakat earlier that year, or were planning to pay it later in the year. When the Mahdi returns, he will punish the zakat-withholders - but the alleged rejection of zakat in my opinion is not the reason for the ridda war.

Some narrations support the view that he was a just companion of the Prophet (pbuh). The traditional Sunni story is that he apostatized after the death of the Prophet back to the religion of the jahiliyya, and he was trying to unite the tribes against the Caliph when he was killed by Khalid b. Walid. We don't endorse everyone killed by the Caliphs, after all, we do believe that Musaylama and his wife were kufar. In the case of Malik, it would seem that even `Umar was upset with how Khalid had dealt with him, saying that he was a Muslim. Khalid "married" his wife - how could a Muslima be married to a non-Muslim? Khalid married her on the same day he killed her husband, without waiting for an `idda, and you can see why we would have considered this to be rape. What's more likely to me is that he simply opposed Abu Bakr and he was killed for it. After all, Abu Bakr declared all of those who refrained from paying zakat to him to be apostates. Convenient?

Who gave him that title? I’m glad he lost but u heard the other one is Zionist too so there is no results in the end.

For those convert brothers esp who are trying to get married but cannot find good Muslim wives , the least we born Muslim could do is provide women from our communities for mutah I’m not a fan of nakhswani but I agree with him wholeheartedly when he’s right , disagreements should not be personal
