How Israel inadvertently reawakened Iranian nationalism https://www.ft.com/content/43b9ba91-dccb-439f-b243-aa8879b7ebf8

The good news is that the Zionist lobby has been exposed in the US, and is being called out by many pundits, analysts, activists, and even politicians. For decades, Americans didn't know anything about AIPAC or the Zionist lobbies. Few people knew who guys like George Soros were. Now almost everyone knows But we have a long way to go. Even in cases where politicians appear to support the Palestinians and are critical of Israel, a simple search will reveal that they are supported by AIPAC

Looks like the unholy Nimrod Alliance

If it’s not allowed then it’s haram. When I book in any hotels specially the five stars, I make sure I take everything with me that is free like chocolates, water, coffees etc. but if there is something I should pay then I don’t take it.

The bond that exists between Israel and the United States is a supernatural one that can't be easily explained by common sense or reason... Why No American President Will Ever Abandon Israel... EVER!!! President Richard Nixon - 2 minutes 16 seconds

That final step for normalization with chosen people is needed.

There is no freedom of speech in the west. Anything that goes against their government will be labeled as terrorism or anti Semitism lol

Freedom of speech only goes as far as not infringing on the rights of others. If his speech caused you or another person harm it does not fall under freedom of speech. However, if you just disagree or don't like it, it probably does. Divine consequences, social consequences, and legal consequences are all separate matters.

Socialism encompasses several key beliefs, and depending on the flavour of socialism you are referring to, this can include the state ownership of the means of production. As I have argued in the blog post below, my understanding of the story of Prophet Yusuf ((عليه السلام).) is that it deals with his prescription to Pharoah of the state ownership of distribution, so I doubt that it could be against our beliefs. No doubt, there are other aspects of different forms of socialism which are antithetical to our beliefs. And of course, this does not mean that Islam is socialist any more than it is capitalist. However, I don't think you can dismiss an entire ideology.

Salaam again brother, As you probably know, it was originally on his website Sekaleshfar.com however now, the hot links just take you in circles and i dont see a video or audio available. I sent a dm asking if he can direct me elsewhere to find it even though a cursory AI search only mentioned it as being on his website or maybe you tube but i dont see it on you tube. When i hear back from him, i will let you know either way, in sha Allah. I hope its findable! (For anyone whos unfamiliar, he has a ton of videos on you tube. Many are on his own you tube channel but there are still quite a few that have been posted by other channels that are not on his own channel.)

You all, he is the mayor of NYC not Middle East. Him supporting the lgbt community is non of our concern, majority of us are not American. What matters the most is, he is anti Zionist and he said he will arrest satanyahu the terrorist if he come to New York. And it might be a political game, remember New York State is democratic so there is a big percentage of lgbt supporters. let’s be honest for a minute, the non Muslims and lgbt community did a lot for the cause of the Palestinian in the west. Unlike the Arab leaders who are licking the Zionist shoes and condemning the attacks by Muslim Shias that is done to the terrorists.

Assalamualaikum, I previously asked about stealing from workplace which I get it is haram but what if someone is not paid their full wage at times and wrongfully given less hours so can they steal to recover their salary? JazakAllah

The website al-islam.org has several of Dr. Sekaleshfar videos, but I did not see that one about Karbala. At the bottom of each page, click the Show More button to load the next page: https://al-islam.org/person/faroukh-sekaleshfar

Before Lebanese people can visit Syria with the identity card but now they no longer allow it. Lebanese Shia mostly visit Syria for lady zainab shrine but now it’s no longer allowed.

This is exactly what is happening here in the place where I live. All hotels make things like shampoo, hand soap etc not movable. And before we leave they send someone to check our room and see if something is taken. Chocolate, coffee, water etc are for free

Nowadays, they say that for certain items, you have to pay for them and they give a price. For other things they've moved to using immovable canisters like this. I don't mind, but I'm having trouble understanding why they can't make it easier for their staff to see how much is left.

Hey don't be unfair to jewlani, though he could not monetarily, but morally he did support his brothers jews by threatening hezbollah to keep away from his jewish brothers

Salam The pro-Zionist ‘conservative’ forces are most anti family groups in any side which even lgbt is their invention for total annihilation of any family family except for the pro-Zionist ‘conservativ's family which The pro-Zionist whether conservative or liberal or etc with any stand are totally evil & anti life & anti family except for the pro-Zionist which all goyims wheteher christians or muslims & etc are just must be annihilated or became total slaves of the zionists which as Imam Musa Sadr has stated "Isreal (The Zionism in any form) is total evil which even one day the Satan stands against it we will be united with the Satan against the Israel (The Zionism)" lgbt community is an innovation of the Zionists which by annihilation of the Zionist so therefore all evil innovations likewise lgbt community will be annihilated which we don't confirm lgbtq+ but it's a solvable social matter while The Zionism must be annihilated even by uniting with the most despicable community .

Hi , respectfully The Zionists do not fear from normalize relations of Iran with the United States because It won't happen because US is totally in control of the Zionists lobbies which only few rare politician seek normalization with Iran ; which friendship of Iran & the United States needs at least total collapse one side specially the United states & total removing of all Zionist lobbies in the United States which is nearly impossible because the zionist lobbies & political & economical systems of the United States are nearly inseparable .

I can guarantee you that Jolani is an Jew mossad spy who sold Syria to Israel.

I’ve been Shia for a few years now, and honestly, it’s been really hard. My family still doesn’t accept it, and it hurts. I’m tired of people just making duaa for me instead of actually trying to support or understand me. I feel alone a lot of the time. Other times I feel okay, mostly because Allah gets me through. But lately, I’ve been feeling really disconnected—from the Shia community, from people who could relate, from the support I need. It’s also been weighing on me how hard it is to even think about marriage when my family wouldn’t accept a Shia suitor. I know this path isn’t easy, but it’s feeling extra heavy right now. If you’ve been through this or have any advice, I’d really appreciate it.

And that final step is the annihilation of the Shia from the Middle East.

JazakAllah, one more thing would giving the same amount in sadqa/charity suffice? As they change the types of the items on a regular basis so I may not be able to put the exact one back!

What do you think of this picture? Look like they are trying to do something evil

I don't think Oman would do that... they're not like the others

Salaam, interesting.. you think it has anything to do with what's going on over there right now? He's always responded to me within 24 hours and I just noticed right now when I looked at the message that it's been seen but there's no response which is extremely weird for him. I'm pretty sure I haven't said anything wrong although I did in very vague terms "congratulate on the success"...I didn't say success of what because, well, you know....so I don't think I said anything wrong but I haven't heard back from him unfortunately. I guess i'll see what happens over the next few weeks and by then I will probably come up with some other kind of question to ask him, lol, and will send him another message. Did you message him and also ask for where to find this video at? Or was it a completely unrelated topic? Just curious.

If your sunni friend is interested or he doesn't have hatred toward shias, then I don't see any issues here. Just make sure not to force them.

If there is this one mosque where the preacher is excellent, can you bring your sunni mates for Friday prayers ? Or a special occasion with dinner ?

Salaams, hope your well. I don't know much about your father and am not sure what his drinking habits are like, if he drinks socially or is a heavy drinker. If he is aware he has a drinking problem or not. You can see if you can get your dad to go to an a.a meeting? They can be very helpful and supportive. There are people who have gone there and stayed sober for many years. I thought its something worth mentioning. I pray your dad finds peace and freedom.

Chapter 28, Qasas, (The Narrative) -Verse 5-6. Verses 5-6 “We wish to favour those who were deemed weak in the land, and make them the Imams and make them the heirs and establish them in earth; and to show Firoun and Hamaan and their soldiers to see from them that which they dreaded” Mohammed bin Hasan Al-Shaibaani narrated from both Imam Baqir (عليه السلام) and Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام), who said: “Firoun and Hamaan” in this verse refer to two oppressors from the Quraysh whom Allah will resurrect at the time of the rising of the Qem (عليه السلام), and He will take revenge against them for what they did. (Kashf Al Bayan) Janabe Salman said, The Messenger of Allah (sawa) said to me, Allah has not sent any prophet or messenger without appointing twelve chiefs for them. I said, O Messenger of Allah! I had learned this from the people of the Book. The Messenger of Allah (sawa) asked me, O Salman! Do you know whom Allah has chosen as the twelve chiefs of the nation after me? I replied, Allah and His Messenger know better. The Prophet (sawa) said, O Salman! Allah created me (sawa) from the prime of His light. He called me (sawa) and I obeyed Him. Then He created Ali (عليه السلام) from my light. He called him and Ali (عليه السلام) obeyed Him. Then He created Fatemah (sa) from my light and the light of Ali. He called Fatema (sa) and she obeyed Him. Then Allah created Hasan (عليه السلام) from me (sawa) , Ali (عليه السلام), and Fatemah (sa). He called him and Hasan (عليه السلام) obeyed Him. Then Allah created Husain (عليه السلام) from me (sawa) , Ali (عليه السلام), and Fatemah (sa). He called him and Husain (عليه السلام) obeyed Him. Then Allah named us with (five names derived from) five of His names. Allah is Mahmoud (the Praised) and I am Mohammed. Allah is Ali (the High) and he (the Commander of the Believers) is Ali. Allah is Fatir (the Creator) and she is Fatema. Allah is Zul Ehsan (the Bountiful) and this is Hasan. Allah is Mohsin (the Beneficent) and this is Husain. Then Allah created from us and from Husain nine Imams. He called them and they obeyed Him. All of this happened before Allah created the skies, the earths, the angels, and humankind. We were lights who praised Allah, listened to Him, and obeyed Him. I asked, O Messenger of Allah! May I sacrifice my father and mother for you! What is the reward for those who know (the rights of) the Imams? The Prophet” replied, O Salman! Verily those who know the true status of the Imams, follow them, befriend their friends, and dissociate from their enemies they are from us. They will be with us wherever we are and they will dwell with us wherever we dwell. I asked, O Messenger of Allah! Is it possible to believe in them without knowing their names and their lineage? The Prophet (sawa) replied, “No! O Salman!” I asked, O Messenger of Allah! Then how can I believe in them while I only know up to Husain (عليه السلام)? The Prophet (sawa) replied, (After Husain is his son) Ali bin Husain (عليه السلام), Master of the Worshippers; then his son, Mohammed bin Ali (عليه السلام), who will rip open every field of knowledge from the first to the last of the prophets and the messengers; then his son, Jafar bin Mohammed (عليه السلام), who is the truthful tongue of Allah; then his son, Musa bin Jafar (عليه السلام), who will suppress his anger in the way of Allah; then his son, Ali bin Musa (عليه السلام), who is pleased with the orders of Allah; then his son, Mohammed bin Ali (عليه السلام), the chosen one from the creation of Allah; then his son, Ali bin Mohammed (عليه السلام), the guide to Allah; then his son, Hasan bin Ali (عليه السلام), the guardian and the keeper of the secrets of Allah; and then his son, Mohammed bin Hasan (عليه السلام), Mahdi, the guide, the Qaem, and the announcer of the rights of Allah. Then the Messenger of Allah (sawa) added, O Salman! You and everyone like you who truly believe in him will meet him (in his time). Therefore, I (Salman) thanked Allah increasingly and asked, O Messenger of Allah! Will I live until his time? The Messenger of Allah (sawa) recited these verses, “So, when the promise of the nearest to the two came, We sent over you Our servants who possessed terrible prowess; so they invaded the very inmost parts of your houses; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled. Then We gave back to you the turn to prevail against them, We aided you with wealth and children and made you a numerous host” (Chapter 17 verses 5-6). After hearing this, I (Salman) cried and yearned (for the promised day) and then asked, O Messenger of Allah! Will you be there when this happens? The Prophet (sawa) replied, Yes. I swear to He who sent me with the truth, that me (sawa), Ali (عليه السلام), Fatemah (sa), Hasan (عليه السلام), Husain (عليه السلام), the nine sons of Husain (عليه السلام), and everyone who is from us and with us will be there. O Salman! I swear to Allah that Iblis and his soldiers will be brought for him (the Qaem (as)) and every sincere believer and every absolute disbeliever will be resurrected so that the avenging can take place; and Allah does not oppress anyone. This is the Taweel (hidden interpretation) of the verse, “We wish to favour those who were deemed weak in the land, and make them the imams and make them the heirs and establish them in earth; and to show Firoun and Hamaan and their soldiers to see from them that which they dreaded” (Chapter 28 verses 5-6). (After hearing this) I (Salman) stood up to leave, not worried whether death would meet me or I would meet death. (Dalelal Imama page 447)

Here is an answer from Al-Islam.org which is a Shia website: Question: Is it recommended to fast during any days of Muharram? Answer: Yes. It is recommended to fast in the first day of Muharram as the narration from Imam Al-Redha (عليه السلام) asking the person who met him on the first of Muharram; are you fasting? Fasting on everyday in Muharram is good except on the tenth day of Muharram which was taken by Bani Umayyad as an Eid and they fabricated narrations on fasting that day of Ashura.According to Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام) fasting in Ashura is Makrouh and it is called as the fasting of the enemies of Ahlul Bayt. 'Wassalam. link: https://al-islam.org/ask/topics/1799/questions-about-Muharram

This is an impossibility... Iman and kufr cannot coexist hand-in-hand... They will forever remain yin-yang opposites... Remember, Israel is nicknamed "Little Satan" and the US is dubbed the "Great Satan" for a reason... The Iranians aren't merely mudslinging and hurling insults around aimlessly... Deep reasons exist why they chose these names in particular... Professor Marandi has illustrated the point on numerous occasions... Washington would befriend Tehran in a heartbeat and they would grant it (Tehran) any request... The Yankees would heap gold, silver, rubies, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds etc. upon its (Tehran's) head symbolically speaking... if only it (Tehran) would change its regional policy (i.e. exporting the revolution to neighboring countries, pro-Palestinian position)... and its foreign policy (i.e. uncompromising antiimperialist stance)... Basically, you're requiring and requesting Iran to become a partner in crime (hence mimicking the behavior of Turkey or metamorphosising itself into Qatar)... If Iran pursued this course of action, it would intrinsically lose its character and would become unrecognizable or indistinguishable from every other Uncle Tom client state in the ME region... This can never be... Iran would betray the memory of all the martyrs that fell in Lebanon, all the martyrs in Palestine, all the martyrs of Iraq, all the martyrs of Yemen, all the martyrs of the Iran-Iraq War (1980 - 1988) etc. if it pursued this line of behavior... "Never, never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith."

Bro after marrying and raising kids : 'Other than Islam, working, kids' hobbies, there's no time to do anything'

I think it doesn't worth it. Just return the confectionery/chocolates back. If you don't have them anymore, buy same items and return it back. Your peace of mind worth more than that.

Alhamdulillah, may Allah prevail the Muslims and protect Iran from the enemy. Good move.

Behave the way the aimmah (عليه السلام) did and treat all Muslims and all people for that matter the way they (عليه السلام) did

May Allah make your business and unity efforts successful and reward you.

I admit I was surprised to read the headlines coming out around this... "A Shia Muslim running for mayor of NYC...." It was funny he was labeled Shia instead of just Muslim... because we don't see Sunni Muslims being labeled as "Sunni" in the press.. To me it seems the metamessage is that Sunni is normative but Shia is still mystified. I guess that is accurate to some degree. Well anyways, despite the cards against him I hope he can do something good.

Moreover, I am really interested in knowing what these DSA Democrat Party Entréists have actually done on a policy level (no, not just protesting against the genocide, actually trying to change their party line with respect to Israel and its crimes). Any caucuses of these 'intersectional' allies to counter the Zionist lobby? Any attempt to vote against the material aid and diplomatic cover for the occupation? As much as even a note of dissent when their party votes in the US Congress (mind you the bipartisan system in America doesn't work like the one in parliamentary democracies so they don't even have the excuse of party whips and party discipline)? Anything material other than mere symbolism and tokenism? This 'at least he's not a Zionist' cope is becoming hilarious. You've seen Sanders, AoC, Tlaib and Ilhan Omar fall in line. Wait till you see him too. Muslims kept their end of this cynical bargain, looking the other way when it came to their degeneracy and extending critical yet principled support. What have they actually gained in return? I don't really consider myself a DH fan but one must do justice and give credit where it's due. In this video he exposes how the celebrity DSA 'Muslim' Democrat Entréists have done absolutely nothing to counter Zionism on a policy level; rather they have rubber-stamped all of their party's pro Israeli decisions.

This guy doesn't care about/represents Muslims or Islam, least of all about the Shia or Shiism; he's just another identity politics radical liberal who's using his nominal religious affiliation and ethnicity to garner liberal votes. In the ultimate analysis, I don't even think his defeat or victory matters. At worst, he's going to be a renegade like his fellow 'DSA' careerists who won on an anti war plank but rubber-stamped everything, from aids to the occupation to the Holocaust in Gaza. At best, he'll be a minor nuisance poking the establishment and the deep state once in a while, with no serious impact.

He is also socialist, literally all ageinst Twelver Shias beliefs. Unfortunately this is common thing with shias in west where they submit to all these man made systems that is not supported in Islam. We call it Taghut.

Salam. How to talk to your parent when you want them to stop drinking When you're thinking about how to get a parent to stop drinking, you may want to consider having a conversation with them about their alcohol use. Understanding how and when to have this discussion can be difficult. Below, we have put together some advice so that you can have a successful chat with them: Try to catch your parent in a moment when they're not drinking or drunk. That way, they're more likely to listen to you and acknowledge they have a problem Try to use a calm and gentle tone. You may feel angry and upset – and understandably so – but this conversation wouldn’t be the right time to express it Try to start out with a one-to-one conversation rather than an intervention, which could be extremely stressful for your parent and cause them to shut off or become defensive Don’t use this time to try and convince them that they have a problem. Instead use the conversation to discuss the impact that their behaviour is having on you and those closest to you both. Use phrases like “I feel like” or “I've noticed” rather than “You have been” or “You keep doing” to avoid being confrontational, which could cause your parent to react badly Let them know that you're having this conversation because you love them. You want to see them get better and are willing to support them as they stop drinking Give them space to talk in the conversation by asking them questions If your parent becomes angry, defensive or silent, don’t try to pursue the conversation. Instead, walk away and try again at another time when they're more receptive.

Oh Allah! I desire to marry, so arrange for me a woman from those who willingly abstain from what is unlawful and who safeguards her soul for my sake and because of her, not only my means of sustenance will increase, but also make there be in it abundance and also make it sure that she will give me a virtuous son, who will be a noble successor in my life and after my death. Ya Rabb, help me in finding a good wife in the same boat as me, who also understands and accepts me as I am. May she find peace and be filled with joy wherever she goes. May she have the strength and courage to find me, love me and live with me. May she find and be filled with much wisdom and clarity in her words and from her experiences. May she in her kindness, share these experiences with me and help us grow together. Verily with hardship comes ease. (إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا - 94:6) Ya Rabb, You alone know what is truly in my heart. You alone know my struggles and pain, Al-Wadud. I feel unbearably lonely and do not wish to incur Your displeasure by remaining unmarried, Al-'Aziz!
