^Children are an invaluable gift of Allah. Their gender matters only in terms of the circumstances of the parents to be.
If the parents are working class with limited income, girls first can be an ease, because provision for their marraiges etc can be made while the father is still able to work. Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be any importance to Girl first or Boy first?
I'm talking about the Pakistan-India-Bangladesh etc scenario.
I wasn't talking about the Pakistan-India-Bangladesh scenario. The qoute I mentioned was told by some shias here that the mumeens expect (or should expect) baby girls! I was told that this is a Hadith.
Do you know this Hadith, or is it true? If someone know it then please provide the source please! :)

I heard it:
Girls are Rahmah..
Bouys are Ne3amah..
So, you'll be asked about your Ne3amah!
I heard also.."Mumeens always wants a baby girl"! Don't know the source but heard this is an etiquette of the mumeen parents.. but Allah Do bless them with Ne3amah and Rahmah!
PS. How are the names I choose for baby boys .... Husain Nasrallah, Husain Fadlallah and Husain Abdallah... if they are three :) . Haven't decided yet the names of baby girls! You can suggest me :P

Jazakallhu khair!
My friend has given thanks to all of you. By the help of Allah she was able to tell them atleast that she no more wants this relation.
But at this moment her own family do not agree with her to divorce that liar soon! They want make delays and delays and we the shias here think that this is another kind of plan of Shaitan!
It is tough here for a girl to go alone to the court to apply for the divorce! The family wont support this! As we are still students we have no budget for'lawyer' purpose at all!! It would better if her father would give her backing! She need your duas for this step!
Please do dua for her so that Allah makes her carry on the tasks Allah wants and grant her sacrifice for the sake of Imame Zaman (atfs)!
Thanks for your replies! We really realize that the company of shia friends is the nice gift of Allah on the earth! Your small replies make us feel that we are not alone here!

Hope you will enjoy the mathemetician's letter to his beloved.
Funny! :)
My Dear Love,
Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in
trigonometric
lane. There I saw you with your cute circular face,
conical nose and
spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden.
Before seeing you
my heart was a null set, but when a vector of
magnitude (likeness) from
your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a
tangent to my heart, it
differentiated.
My love for you is a quadratic equation with real
roots, which only
you can solve by making good binary relation with me.
The cosine of my
love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I
should not resolve
you into partial functions but if I do so, you can
integrate me by applying
the limits from zero to infinity.You are as essential
to me as an
element of a set. The geometry of my life revolves
around your acute
personality.
My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant
on date 10 at
sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160
degrees, my heart would
be like a solved polynomial of degree 10. With love
from your higher order
derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown
function.
Yours ever loving,
Pythagoras

^ i donno bt these kinda hadiths discourage ui aint blaming its authenticity or anything bt i dont wanna consider it much.
i think v shud keep the good deeds and struggle on and keep praying.
its God only who knows the best.
Sister, why this Hadith would dicourage someone? Surely these 313 are commanders of the army of Imam Mahdi (atfs). So, there are many scopes for us to be at least the soldier of this army!! If we are not in 313 list then InshaAllah will be in the list of the rest of the helpers! :)
So keep up your hope to join them as well as you keep good deeds and praying!
If it is one of the sayings of Imam Ali (as) then why not we're considering Maola's (as) beautiful saying? These saying is indeed a source of love and hope for all the believers! :)
Anyone here to provide me the source?

Asbagh-ibn-Nubatah says: Amir-ul-Mumineen Ali (A.S.) recited a sermon and mentionedtherein something about the emergence of Mahdi and his helpers. Abu Khalid Halabi or Kabuli
said: 'O Ali, inform us something about his qualities.'
He replied: From the view-point of character and creation, he resembles the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.A.) the most. Should I inform you about his helpers? They said: 'Yes, O Amir-ul-
Mumineen.'
He replied: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.A.) saying: 'The first of them would be
from Basra and the last of them from Yamamah. Thereafter Hazrat began to count Mahdi's
companions. People were crying and Ali (A.S.) was saying:

Ali (A.S.) said: The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) counted them to me until they became 313 in
number, the same as the companions of 'Badr'. Allah will gather them from the East and West
and place them near the Holy Ka'aba by the wink of an eye. When the people of Mecca will
witness this, they will say: 'Sufyani has gathered us around himself'. After coming in contact
with the people of Mecca they will see a group gathered around the 'Ka'aba' and the darkness
and gloom will have departed from them and the dawn of hope ascended and they will tell
each other. Salvation (perhaps meaning to say that we have found salvation). The noble people
will watch and their rulers we go in deep thought.

I personally realize that not giving Salams first and not answering salams are some kinds of 'Kibr' ! Alhamdulillah Allah saved us from this kind of 'iblees' attitude!
Kibr is the name of a psychic state in which a person feels a sense of superiority and behaves high-handedly with others. Its signs are discernible in his actions and its symptoms are clearly noticed by others by which they know that he is proud.
Please know detail about kibr from the book Forty Hadith by Imam Khomeimi (ra)

Saudi clerics want to restrict women praying at Mecca(Reuters)
28 August 2006
RIYADH - Saudi clerics want to impose restrictions on women praying at Islam’s holiest shrine in Mecca, one of the few places where male and female worshippers can intermingle.
But women activists in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of the religion where a strict version of Islam is state orthodoxy, say the idea is discriminatory and have vowed to oppose it.
At present, women can pray in the immediate vicinity of the Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure inside the mosque which pilgrims walk around seven times during the haj pilgrimage according to ancient rites established by Prophet Mohammad.
Plans by the all-male committee overseeing the holy sites would place women in a distant section of the mosque while men would still be able to pray in the key space.
“The area is very small and so crowded. So we decided to get women out of the ’sahn’ (Kaaba area) to a better place where they can see the Kaaba and have more space,” said Osama Al Bar, head of the Institute for Haj Research.
”Some women thought it wasn’t good, but from our point of view it will be better for them ... We can sit with them and explain to them what the decision is (about),” he said. The decision is not final and could be reversed, he added.
Pushing and shoving is common in the tight space around the Kaaba where thousands of pilgrims crowd during the haj season.
The plans are likely to provoke a furore among Muslim women in countries whose Islamic traditions are more liberal than Saudi Arabia.
Ordinary Muslims say it as a basic right to be able to pray as close as possible to the Kaaba which Islam regards as the place where God’s presence is most felt on Earth. It is towards the Kaaba that Muslims around the world turn when praying.
“Both men and women have the right to pray in the ’House of God’. Men have no right to take it away,” said Suhaila Hammad, Saudi woman member of a body of world Muslim scholars.
“Men and women mix when they circumambulate the Kaaba, so do they want to make us do that somewhere else too?” she asked. ”This is discrimination against women.”
The Grand Mosque is one of the few places where men and women can pray together in Islam although technically there are separate spaces for each gender throughout the vast complex.
Religious police charged with imposing order according to Saudi Arabia’s austere Wahhabi brand of Islam often harass women who decide to pray outside the prescribed areas.
Historian Hatoun Al Fassi said the move to restrict women’s prayer in the mosque would be a first in Islamic history.
“Perhaps they want women to disappear from any public prayer area and when it comes to the holy mosques that’s their ultimate aim,” she said, adding the religious authorities recently restricted women’s access at the Prophet’s tomb in Medina.

(salam) ,Can someon please provide me the translation of Sura-e-Qunoot
( Rab-big firlee walay walay diya walay momineena youma yakumul salat.Rab-big-firlana war humna , wa afana wa af-anna fid dunya wal akhara, inaka Allah lulay-e shain qadeer)
Also there is another ayat "Rab-er hum huma quma rabiryani saqeera"
Would really appeciate if someone can translate it, as i want to recite it while knowing the meaning of what i'm reciting.
thanks
wa-salam.
Brother, these are not surahs but parts of surahs and there is no 'surah qunoot'. We call these duas.
The first dua is the ayat#41 of Surah Ibraheem.
The transliteration is: Rabbanagfirlee wali walidaiya walil mu'mineena yauma yaqumul hisab.
Its not yakumul salat, its yaqumul hisab.
The translation is:
[shakir 14:41] O our Lord! grant me protection and my parents and the believers on the day when the reckoning shall come to pass!
I'm searching for the second dua in the Quran, but couldn't find it in Quran yet.
The third dua is the part of ayat#24 of Surah Bani Israeel.
The transliteration is:
"Rabbir hum huma kama rabbayaani sageera".
Its not rabbayarni, its Rabbayaani.
The translation is in bold letters:
[shakir 17:24] And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little.
Here 'them' refers to 'parents'.

Lecture of Imam Khomeini (sa) on the importance of month of Shaban
Please read it, and lets don't miss to act accordingly, inshaAllah!
Points regarding the Intimate Devotions (Munajat) of the Month of Sha'ban
Have you said the Munajat of Sha'ban for God, the Blessed and Supreme, a devotion whose recital has been recommended during this month, from the first until the last of the month? Have you benefited from its lofty meanings which teach increased faith and knowledge (ma'rifah) with regard to the station of the Lord? It is reported with regard to this supplication that it is the munajat of Imam 'Ali-Peace be upon him-and his descendants and all of the immaculate Imams-Peace be upon them-called upon Allah by this devotion. [22] Very few supplications and devotions (du'a wa munajat) may be found which were recited by all of the Imams ('a) for God.
This devotion is truly a preparatory means to admonish and prepare man to receive the responsibilities of the blessed month of Ramadan, and it is possible that it is also to remind the aware person of the motive for fasting and its valuable fruits.
The immaculate Imams, Peace be with them, have explained many things by the tongue of supplication. The tongue of supplication is very different from the other tongues by which those greats explained precepts. They have explained most spiritual, metaphysical, and precise divine matters, and that which is related to knowledge of Allah by the tongue of supplication. But we recite supplications to the end and unfortunately pay no attention to their meanings and fail to understand what they really want to say.
In this munajat we read:
My God, grant that I may be perfectly cut off from all else but Thee, and enlighten the vision of our hearts by the radiance of vision toward Thee, until the visions of the heart tear through the curtains of light and reach the Source of Greatness and our spirits get anchored to the threshold of Thy sanctity. [23]
It is possible that the meaning of the sentence, "O my God! Grant that I may be perfectly cut off from all else but Thee," is that prior to the blessed month of Ramadan, divinely aware people should get ready and prepare themselves for cutting themselves off and avoiding worldly pleasures (and this avoidance is that very being cut off perfectly from all else but Allah). Being perfectly cut off from all else is not something easily obtained. It requires extra hard practice, going to some lengths, spiritual exercises, perseverance, and discipline, until one is able to fix one's attention completely on nothing but God and cut himself off from all else. If someone is able to do this, he has reached a great felicity. However, with the least attention to this world it is impossible to be cut off from all else but Allah. Someone who wants to perform the fast of the blessed month of Ramadan with such manners as he has been asked to, must cut himself off completely from all else so that he can observe the etiquette for the celebration and feast [of Allah], coming to know of the station of the Host, insofar as this is possible.
According to the order of the Noble Apostle (s) (which is related in one of his sermons) all of the servants of God, the Supreme, have been invited by Him to a feast in the blessed month of Ramadan and are to be the guests of the Provider at His feast. There he says:
O you people! The month of Allah is approaching you ... and you have been invited in it to the feast of Allah. [24]
In these few days until the blessed month of Ramadan, you should reflect, reform yourselves, and pay attention to God the Almighty, seek forgiveness for your unbecoming behaviour and deeds, and if, God forbid, you have committed a sin, repent for it prior to entering the blessed month of Ramadan. Habituate your tongue to munajat to God the Almighty. God forbid that in the blessed month of Ramadan you should backbite or slander, or in short, sin, and so become polluted by transgression in the presence of the Lord, the Exalted, at His feast. You have been invited during this honourable month to the banquet of God the Almighty, "and you have been invited in it to the feast of Allah," so, get yourself ready for the magnificent feast of the Almighty. At least respect the formal and exoteric manners of fasting. (The true manners of fasting are another matter entirely, and require constant care and effort.) The meaning of fasting is not merely refraining from eating and drinking; one must also keep oneself from sin. This is the primary etiquette of fasting for novices. (The etiquette of fasting for divine people who want to reach the Source of Greatness is other than this.) You should at least observe the elementary etiquette of fasting, and in the same way that you refrain from eating and drinking, you should keep your eyes, ears, and tongue from transgression. From now on, keep your tongue from backbiting, slander, speaking bad, and lies, and expel from your hearts all spite, envy, and other ugly Satanic attributes. If you are able, cut yourself off from all but Allah. Perform your deeds sincerely and without ostentation. Cut yourselves off from the Satans among humans and the jinn.
Though apparently we have lost hopes of reaching such a valuable state of felicity, at least try to see to it that your fast is not accompanied by sin. Otherwise, even if your fast is correct from the point of view of Islamic law, it will not ascend to be accepted by God. There is a big difference between the ascension of one's works and their acceptance on the one hand and their religious correctness on the other. If, by the end of the blessed month of Ramadan, there is no change in your works and deeds, and your ways and manners are no different from what they were before the month of fasting, it is evident that the fast which you were expected to perform was not realized; and that which you have done is no more than a vulgar physical fast. In this noble month, in which you have been invited to the divine banquet, if you do not gain insight (ma'rifah) about God the Almighty nor insight into yourself, it means that you have not properly participated in the feast of Allah and failed to observe the etiquette of the feast. You must not forget that if you are not able to reform and refine yourselves in this blessed month, which is the 'month of Allah,' in which the gates of divine mercy are opened to the servants of God and the satans and devils-according to some reports-are locked in chains, [25] and if you fail to manage and control your nafs e ammarah (the 'commanding self'), [26] to subdue your selfish lusts and to cut off your relations and interests with this world and material things, then after the end of the month of fasting it will be difficult for you to be able to accomplish this.
Therefore, take advantage of this opportunity before the magnificent grace of it vanishes, and purify and reform yourselves. Get ready and prepare to perform the duties of the month of fasting. Let it not be that prior to the arrival of the month of Ramadan you are like one who is wound up by the hand of Satan so that in this single month when the satans are enchained you automatically busy yourselves with sin and deeds opposed to the orders of Islam! Sometimes the rebellious and sinful man, due to his distance from God and the great number of his sins, sinks so low into darkness and ignorance that he does not need Satan to tempt him, but he himself takes on the colour of Satan. [27] Someone who pursues selfish desires and is obedient to Satan, gradually turns the colour of Satan. You should decide to control yourselves at least in this one month, and avoid speech and behaviour which displease God, the Supreme. Right now in this very session make a covenant with God that during the blessed month of Ramadan you will avoid backbiting, slander and speaking ill of others. Bring your tongue, eyes, hands, ears and other organs and limbs under your control. Be watchful of your deeds and your words. It is possible that this same worthy deed will result in God's paying attention to you and blessing you. After the month of fasting, when the satans are released from their chains, you will have been reformed, and you will no longer listen to the lies of Satan, and you will refine yourselves. I repeat, decide during these thirty days of the blessed month of Ramadan to control your tongue, eyes, ears and all your organs and limbs, and pay constant attention to the judgement of the Shari'ah about the works you intend to do, and the words you intend to speak and the matter you intend to listen to.
This is the elementary and outward manner of keeping a fast. At least keep to this outward manner of fasting! If you observe that someone is about to backbite, prevent him and say to him that we have made a covenant to keep ourselves from prohibited matters during these thirty days of Ramadan. And if you are not able to keep him from backbiting, leave that session. Do not just sit there and listen. The Muslims must be safe from you. Someone from whose hands, tongue and eyes other Muslims are not safe is not truly a Muslim, [28] although he may be outwardly and formally a Muslim who has formally proclaimed: "La illaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah). If, God forbid, you want to offend somebody, to slander him or backbite, you should know that you are in the presence of the Lord; you are the guest of God Almighty, and in the presence of God, the Supreme, you would behave rudely to one of His servants; and to insult one of the servants of God is to insult God. They are the servants of God; especially if they are scholars on the path of knowledge and piety (taqwa). Sometimes you see that because of such affairs man reaches such a state that he denies God at the moment of his death! He denies the divine signs:
Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the signs of Allah and used to mock them. (30:10)
These things occur gradually. Today, an incorrect view; tomorrow, a word of backbiting; and the next day, slander against a Muslim, and . . . little by little these sins accumulate in the heart, and make the heart black and prevent man from attaining knowledge (ma'rifah) of Allah, until it reaches the point that he denies everything and rejects the truth.
According to some ayat of the Quran as interpreted in some traditions, the deeds of men are presented to the Prophet (s) and the pure Imam's ('a) and are reviewed by them. [29] When the Prophet reviews your deeds and he sees how many errors and sins there are, how upset and distressed will he be? Do not make the Apostle of God become upset and distressed. You would not want to break his heart and make him sad? When he witnesses that the page of your deeds is replete with backbiting, slander, and speaking ill of other Muslims and that all your attention was devoted to this worldly and materialistic affairs and that your heart was overflowing with malice, hatred, spite and suspicion towards each other, it is possible that in the presence of God, the Supreme and Holy, and the angels of Allah, he will be embarrassed that his community and followers were ungrateful for their divine blessings, and they betrayed the trust of God, the Holy and Supreme, in such an unbridled and heedless manner.
When someone who is related to us, even if in a menial position, errs, we become embarrassed. You are related to the Apostle of Allah, may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be with him and with his Progeny; by entering the seminary, you have related yourself to the Law of Islam, the most Noble Apostle and the Noble Quran. If you perform ugly deeds, it upsets the Prophet and he cannot bear it, and God forbid, you may be damned. Do not let the Apostle of Allah (s) and the pure Imams become upset and saddened.
The heart of man is like a mirror, clear and bright, and it becomes dark because of too much attention to this world and too many sins. However, if a person at least performs the fast for God the Almighty sincerely and without duplicity (I am not saying that other acts of worship are not to be pure; it is necessary for all of the acts of worship to be performed sincerely and without duplicity), then this worship-which is a turning away from lust, a putting aside of pleasure and cutting oneself off from all but God-if it is performed well in this single month, perhaps the grace of God will be extended to him and the mirror of his heart will be cleaned of its blackness and tarnish, and there is hope that he will change his ways and become dissuaded from this wilderness and worldly pleasures. When the Night of Qadr [30] arrives, one will gain the illumination which is obtained on that night by the friends of God and the believers.
The reward of such a fast is God, as it has been reported:
"The fast is for Me and I grant its reward." [31] Nothing else could be the reward of such a fast. The Gardens of Blessings would not count as a worthy reward for such a fast.
If a man takes fasting to mean closing his mouth to food but opening it for backbiting, and he engages in backbiting until sahar[32] in the warm and friendly company in the nights when there is opportunity and time, such fasting will be of no benefit and have no effect. Rather, one who fasts in this way has not observed the etiquette of the banquet of God. He has violated the rights of his Benefactor, the Benefactor Who has provided him with all the means and conveniences of life before creating him, and has provided for the means of his development. He sent the prophets to guide him. He sent down the heavenly books. Man has been given the power to approach the source of greatness and the light of felicity, has been favoured with intellect and perception, and has been the recipient of His generosity. Now, He has invited His servants to enter His guest house and to sit at the table of His blessings where they are to thank and praise Him to the extent that their tongues and hands are able. Is it right for the servants who partake at the table of His blessings and use the means and conveniences which He has freely provided for them that they should oppose their Master and Host and rebel against Him? Is it right that they should use these things in opposition to Him and against His wishes? Wouldn't this be biting the hand that feeds one, the height of ingratitude to sit at the table of one's Master and audaciously insult one's honoured Host, Who is his benefactor, with rude and impudent behaviour and performing ugly and evil deeds before the Host?
The guests must at least know who their Host is, and become aware of His dignity. They should be acquainted with the etiquette and manners of the sessions and try not to perform any deed contrary to virtue and decorum. The guests of the Supreme Lord must know the divine station of the Lord of Majesty, a station of which the Imams, Peace be upon them, and the great divine prophets were constantly seeking greater knowledge and more perfect awareness, aspiring to reach the Source of light and greatness. "And enlighten the eyes of our hearts with the light of Thy vision, until the vision of the hearts tears through the curtains of light and reaches the Source of Greatness." The banquet of Allah is that very "source of greatness." God, the Blessed and Exalted, has invited His servants to enter the source of light and greatness. However, if the servant is not worthy, he will not be able to enter into such a splendid and sumptuous position. God, the Exalted, has invited his servants to all sorts of favours and boons and to numerous spiritual delights, but if they are not prepared to be present at such lofty positions, they will not be able to enter. How can one enter the presence of the Lord and the guest house of the Lord of lords which is the source of greatness with spiritual pollution, vice, and sins of the body and soul? It requires merit. Preparation is necessary. In indignity and with polluted hearts covered by veils of darkness, one will not be able to understand these spiritual meanings and truths. One must tear these veils and push aside these dark and luminous curtains which cover the heart and are barriers to union with Allah so that one will be able to enter the brilliant and splendid divine company.

The etiquettes of saying salam/greeting people
in General Islamic Discussion

"Salamun Alaikum" and "Assalamu Alaikum" both are correct. :)
The 'As' (that is actually 'al' : alif and lam) is added to make it more definite! For example we say "Al Hamdulillah".... the 'Al' is added to 'hamd' to make it definite/specific/explicit. I saw many arabs just say "Hamdulillah" or "Hamdanlillah". These are only different grammatical approaches.
In the Holy Quran it is mentioned that the approach of salams from the Malaaeeka to the Mumeens (including all the Holy persons) is "Salamun Alaikum". The Salam from Allah will be just "Salaam" (The Ayat is: Salam- Qawlum mir Rabbir Raheem). So "Salam or Salamun Alaikum" is not lightly said!
In Arabic the things are said normally adding the 'al'. This not only in salam but also with other things also. So, in Hadith we get the term as "As Salamu Alaikum" and it is not true that this should not be used for the general mass!
Hope you have got it now! :)
May we all be blessed with the salam from Allah : "Salaam"!
