    Salaam Alaykum, Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have searched online and on al-islam.org, I am looking for anecdotes and stories from the life of Imam Hussein(as) before the event of Kerbala - in particular his kindness, generosity and humanity. I am planning to make a video to show the greatness of the character of the Imam. All I can find is related to 'Ashura. Any help would be appreciated! Ma'salaam

    Salaam Alaykum, Thanks for posting this topic. I procrastinate a lot and feel very lazy. I don't know how to get out of this rut! Are there any Islamic tips/hadith for overcoming laziness/procrastination? There are so many non-islamic Self help books, what do the Ahlul Bayt [pbut] have to advice us regarding this? Ma'salaam.

    Salaam Alaykum, This is a very interesting topic and I learnt many good things. I am struggling with a similar problem myself where I have everythingI need/want but yet feel a void in my life. I feel like I need to connect back to Allah [swt] but I don't know how. I believe I need to get rid of my netflix-procastination habit but that is SO HARD! I don't know how to stop watchign TV when I am home alone - and unfortunately I am home alone ALL the time! Ma'salaam

    Salaam Alaykum, Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem I had a muslim Shia' convert ask me this question and I don't know how true this is: Those who love to wear imitation jewelry should understand that Rasulullah (S) has strictly prohibited use of it for both, man as well as woman. When he saw a ring of steel in the hand of a Muslim he warned: it is an ornament of the people of the hell. Listen! From you I have found signs and smell of Zoroastrians. That person removed his metallic ring and wore a ring of gold. Rasulullah(S) warned that your finger is in the Hell as long

    Salaam Alaykum, Thanks for your post. You are right, the majority of us; are clueless. We need more from ourselves especially. I agree with #2 and #7. Also, i agree that every shia muslim should undergo strict formal religious education. We should be able to defend our faith - Sunday Madrasah is not enough! I want to learn and become more knowledgeable and then iA go out there and help people , guide them etc. But I face many challenges myself. I'll list them below, just so you get more of an idea, iA 1. Lack of Hawza level resources in English. 2. From the current books

    Salaam Alaykum, Recently I have been wondering about the Islamic recommendation regarding fruits. Is it better to eat fruits before food, after food, with food or independently? I am getting so confused since everyone says either eat on an empty stomach or after meals, or independently. There is no consensus regarding this topic. Are there any ahadith or books outlining what to eat and when, according to the Islamic recommendations from the AhlulBayt [as]? Many thanks, Ma'salaam.

    Bismillah Salaam Alaykum, I feel lost in life. I want to do many things, however I am not passionate enough about them to actually get up and start working. For instance, I want to gain islamic knowledge and I am awed by the people of knowledge - however, when it comes to actually reading, i procrastinate. I don't know what to do - i have zero motivation and i procastinate a lot. any ideas how to get out of this cycle? JazakAllah

    Salaam Alaykum, @ Tawheed313, monad Thanks for your tips :) IA i will try to focus and be more productive. Although it is daunting and seems overwhelming but with duas and hard work, things will fall into place. I believe that :) @ :Sami II - how would you classify pure water? Also, at this moment, i am focusing on praying my regular salat on time. I have much difficulty in praying salaatul Layl , How did you do it?

    Salaam Alaykum, Thank you for your replies. i appreciate it. :) I have tried to convince him not to go - and he knows that I will not be going because of music and alcohol. But he says he still wants to go because of his friendship. It saddens me to see him go. @ silasun, its not only music but also alcohol will be served; It is a portugese wedding reception loll [i forgot to mention that lol] Unfortunately, he says that he does not see a problem with it as he is not going to drink! :O I don't know what to say. Although it is both agreed that I won't attend and he is not forcing me

    Salaam Alaykum all, I just wanted to thank you all for your replies and advice. It has certainly been very helpful.

    Salaam Alaykum, Hope you all are okay and enjoying the month of Mahe Ramadhan. Recently, I have been in a slump - i don't feel like doing much and my concentration wanes from one thing to another. Its like I am hopping from subject/project to project. I don't know how to feel focused; and this is contributing to my laziness. I don't know what to pick, and this all gets really overwhelming and i don;t know where to start from. Usually I end up doing things last minute and this can be bait stressful. Like I will clean the house last minute and do laundry last minute etc. I want to

    Salaam Alaykum, My spouse wants to go to a friends wedding reception. It will be a mixed gathering and will have alcohol too. I don't want to go. How to convince my spouse not to go either? It hurts me that my spouse is going to such a gathering. We will be attending the church wedding together. Kindly help. Ma'salaam

    I was officially introduced to my husband and we started talking over email and whatsapp. We discussed important issues and then he came to meet myself and my parents - we were living in separate countries at the time! prior to meeting him i had done a lot of thinking of what I want in life - and when I met him, It felt right - like i knew he was the one! :) Best of luck !

    Thank you for your replies 'ireallywannaknow' and 'Eklekticist' . Both of you have valid points and I will first figure out what the sole aim is. And its true about the youtube videos - i have always been reserved about them! :)

    Salaam Alaykum Sister, Hope you are well. I read in one of your posts that you are interested in Fashion Design/Promotion and communication. Are you still interested in it? do you have a background in fashion ? I am in Toronto, Canada - where are you based? Inshallah, my aim is to open my own modest clothing online store. :) I don't know if you would be interested! Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Ma'salaam,

    Salaam Alaykum, Hope you are all well. I am very confused about a few things regarding hijab. Is it okay to be a hijabi model? I.e a model who showcases new scarves and abayas. Also, recently, there are many hijabi fashion blogs and vlogs [by hijabis] showing their daily wear in detail - i.e. what they wore, their scarf style, colour, dresses, shoes and even makeup.. I wanted to start my own hijab fashion blog but I am not sure if it is permissible in the Sha'riah! Ofcourse, I will have my hijab on all the time in the pictures and the videos! I was wondering if anyone knows wha
