Ibn Al-Shahid

Ruby is not Aqiq (Agate). Ruby is Yaqout.

Those examples are of things needing a miracle. Mortality rate of Covid-19 is less than 1%. Covid isn't this boogyman the media would have you believe. It's unfortunate the misinformation that's going around. Covid doesn't need a miracle to cure it, covid needs people to listen and the news to stop spreading lies.

PLEASE DO NOT DERAIL THIS THREAD

can someone please explain this

One claimed you should only do it from the waist-down. The other said from head to toe.

I’m more interested in which ghusul to perform. It came up today and two people had different answers.

I have been taught when I was young that if you masturbate you have to do ghusl from your waist and below. Recently a scholar told me that it has to be from the head till the toes. Now he also said that if you dont do ghusl right you have to redo your salat. So... could someone explain this situation

I'm sorry, but where are you guys getting the idea that "god loves everybody"? رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا رب! وددت أني أعلم من تحب من عبادك فأحبه؟ قال: إذا رأيت عبدي يكثر ذكري فأنا أذنت له في ذلك وأنا أحبه، وإذا رأيت عبدي لا يذكرني فأنا حجبته عن ذلك وأنا أبغضته داود!، أبلغ أهل أرضي أني حبيب من أحبني، وجليس من جالسني، ومؤنس لمن أنس بذكري، وصاحب لمن صاحبني، ومختار لمن اختارني، ومطيع لمن أطاعني، ما أحبني أحد أعلم ذلك يقينا من قلبه إلا قبلته لنفسي، [وأحببته حبا] لا يتقدمه أحد من خلقي، من طلبني بالحق وجدني، ومن طلب غيري لم يجدني. فارفضوا - يا أهل الأرض - ما أنتم عليه من غرورها، وهلموا إلى كرامتي ومصاحبتي ومجالستي ومؤانستي، وأنسوا بي أؤانسكم، وأسارع إلى محبتكم

God cannot be a sadist; God does not have senses. Since God does not have senses/emotions, what He implements is the utmost rationality. This argument above uses emotional language: "ugly" "dirty" "sadist". Not a good way to debate. This is essentially what lawyers do to prey on the jury's feelings. Did you forget basic human nature? Humans do not believe until they experience it themselves. If you put someone directly in hell without putting them in the trial they'll complain about "you didn't test me". "Love" is a very abstract word. It's not used frequently in our books. I think you mean merciful more than loving. Every Surah begins with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم to emphasize Allah's mercy. You had a lifetime to repent, why didn't you? Why are you blaming God for your actions? You say free will doesn't matter but your argument revolves around it. There is a hadith that states on judgement day Allah's mercy is so encompassing that you'll be slapping your face at what the people of hell did to be sent to it. I believe I read that the Prophets and Imams have the ability to sin, but do not. So I'm not sure your argument is correct or truthful. that's not justice, that's a circus.We don't need prophets because we have brains. Allah is extremely merciful that he gave us prophets so that we wouldn't have an excuse. It seems that your issue is responsibility. You don't want to be responsible for your actions.

Is the meaning about Shaytan vs mankind, or mankind vs mankind, or male vs female?

You're attempting to interpret a translation through English linguistic laws when the text is Arabic with Arabic linguistic laws...

best does not mean perfect. it means best for our purpose.

Do we do everything out of selfishness? Is having children selfish?

الحسن بن الفضل الطبرسي في (مكارم الأخلاق) عن أبان بن تغلب، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) - في حديث - أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قال أخبرني جبرئيل اني عن يمين العرش يوم القيامةوإن الله كساني ثوبين: أحدهما أخضر، والاخر وردي، وانك يا علي عن يمين العرش وان الله كساك ثوبين: أحدهما أخضر، والاخر وردي وانك يا فاطمة عن يمين العرش وان الله كساك الله ثوبين أحدهما أخضر، والاخر وردي، قال: قلت: جعلت فداك إن الناس يكرهون الوردي، فقال: يا أبان إن الله عز وجل لما رفع المسيح إلى السماء رفعه إلى جنة فيها سبعون غرفة، وإن الله كساه ثوبين أحدهما أخضر، والاخر وردي قال: قلت: جعلت فداكأخبرني بنظيره من القرآن قال: إن الله يقول: (فإذا انشقت السماء فكانت وردة كالدهان) الوسائل ج٣ ص٣٦٠ باب١٧ and مكارم الاخلاق ١٠٦

Amazing, Chuck Palahniuk described you in Fight Club. Palahniuk’s main point in his book was to show how men always look for a father figure other than their actual father to mentor them, show them the world. Find someone you could shadow. Learn from them, hang out with them. It only takes 40 days for you to adopt their behaviors. I’ve tried this and it worked for me.
