As others have said, buy and hold for the long term. You need to do your due diligence first and invest only in money you are prepared to lose. Recently bitcoin price dropped heavily and there were people that bought heavily at the top before the correction and suffered major losses. So never buy heavily at once (easier said than done), but instead in small chunks from time to time and never follow the steps of the FOMO crowd. Crypto will most certainly be globally accepted in the foreseeable future, it just needs a little time. I would compare it with paper money, since paper money gradu

I took the Pfizer vaccine about a month ago. There were minor symptoms after the second shot but no major side effects, random limbs growing or microchips taking control of me. On a serious note, last year a relative of mine died from Covid after contracting the disease from his daughter who was in close proximity to a person at work that coughed near her (she eventually learned that the person was tested positive). In other words, a simple cough during this pandemic can be just as lethal as s knife or a gun. If they were vaccinated at the time, they would most certainly be alive today. For th

I would advice you to move out and rent a place if you’re financially able to. It’s normal to see conflicts arise between family members when they’re all living in a cramped household and are daily interacting with each other for most of the time so perhaps by distancing your self you will have less conflicts with your father. Also, regardless of how fundamentally you differ with your father, do not respond in any way that would hurt him. Any negative sentiment that you bring to your parents will eventually haunt you later in life, even if it’s from minor issues.

Wsalam It has allegorical meaning and should not be taken literally. This type of language is common in Arabic but can be misunderstood when translated in English, and even the Quran has similar contexts when Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) describes ‘Isa as Roohon Minho (His soul) and Kalimatoho (His word) in Surat Al-Nisa (171). It should not be understood literally as ‘Isa (عليه السلام) having a physical link to Allah. According to Ahlulbayt, the Rooh (soul) was created by Allah before mankind and Adam and ‘Isa were created from the Rooh. Moreover, the Face of Allah (Wajh Allah

The Ma’sam can carry the earth with his own finger, let alone split if Allah wills. Anything is possible by the will of Allah but we don’t make a claim that such event indeed occurred until it is confirmed by a report in the classical hadith corpus. Likewise for this story. Where is it mentioned in any of our books? The references that the OP mentioned is dubious. Yes there is because the Masumeen said anyone who fabricates in their name is destined to the hellfire.

As nice as this story may sound, it will remain a fantasy until it is corroborated by an authentic source. Perhaps you can quote where in the classical literature this story is mentioned?

It would be nice to have the old chatroom back. The new version is not as vibrant compared to the old one as I remember it from 5 years ago.

In this situation, assuming one had no previous knowledge that the company was involved in haram activities at the time when initially bought, then any gains that are accumulated from the book value that was initially invested is to be distributed to the poor, then the original amount can be reclaimed.

For example, look into the nature of i

As long as the company that you intend to buy shares in are not involved in any haram transactions (eg. gambling, riba, alcohol ect) then it’s halal. As for cryptocurrency, bitcoin and even forex in general, I would advice you to avoid them completely as they are highly speculative and merely based on price fluctuations. And unlike stocks, you are not investing your money on tangible assets that can potentially produce profit, such as commodities, gold, or R&D firms like biotech.

Fixed * وحيث أن فتوى سماحة السيد (دام ظلّه) هي أن أول الشهر في كل منطقة يتبع امكانية رؤية الهلال بالعين المجردة في تلك المنطقة أو حواليها ولا يثبت بالتمكن من رؤيته بالأدوات المقرّبة أو في مناطق أخرى من العالم فإن يوم غدٍ الأحد يكون مكملاً لعدة شهر رمضان المبارك وسيكون يوم الاثنين هو يوم عيد الفطر السعيد. “...sunday is the last day of the month of Ramadan and Monday is the the day of Eid” https://www.sistani.org/arabic/

Wsalam Who are you exactly? This is intended as constructive criticism and not to be misunderstood as any provocative sentiments, but when someone comes and claims to have held an influential position in the community where their intent was to guide the people on behalf of the Prophet and the Ahlulbayt, they are expected to come out clean and be consistent in their approach and reveal their true identity, what they taught, their level of knowledge and credentials ect. Otherwise, it’s all speculation and no one can really address your concerns. You really have to rethink this again c

This was expected considering that almost every street in every city across the world is dead right nie while the oil production rate remained the same as it was before the fall. I just hope it doesn’t remain that way for too long since the consequences in the near future will further ravage the global economy. Oil dependent muslim developing countries including Iran and Iraq will be hit hard as well.

There is no conspiracy or a vague pro-baathist splinter cell that initiated these recent protests as some are erroneously claiming. I lived and worked in Basra for a year and a half (2017-2018) and have witnessed enough corruption and a poor quality of life to confidently say that these protests are expected to be driven by ordinary people. This isn’t the first time a wave of protests like this occurred. In August 2018, similar demonstrations erupted in Basra, where the protesters had similar demands and eventually burned down the Basra governarate building. Iraqis are simply fed up with

The concept of Allah’s Oneness is mentioned in the Qur'an but not all of His Names are mentioned. The rest of His Names along with His Attributes and other details are mentioned in the Hadith. Prophethood is mentioned but only a number of Prophets out of the 124000 are mentioned in the Qur'an and yet you still have to believe in all of them. Likewise for Imamah. Just because the names of the Ma’sumeen are not mentioned explicitly in the Qur'an does not negate their divinely appointed authority. The foundations of Imamah as a concept where only Allah appoints those who represent his Deen on Ear
