(salam) , can you please tell me the sources for these 33 signs?

Salaamualaikum, I know this one website, but I am not too sure about authenticity, maybe ill take a look at it later. http://www.duas.org/student.htm

Walaikumasalaam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh, sister, it is not a bad thing that your afraid of death. It is also not a bad thing that your having fun. The only bad thing is when you sin! If you are sinning in having fun, then your in error but other than that its not bad to have fun. Allah created us with the feelings of boredness, repetitiveness, and thats why he made certain things like the day and night cycle, different climates, different seasons. We were made to have these feelings, so it is not haram to have fun, as long as it is in rightfulness. It is not bad to enjoy life, enjoy it when its enjoyable(just dont sin), and be patient when it is bad. As soon as you feel like youve sinned, repent, Allah is quick to forgive and forgives ALL. If you have salaat/fasting that are not done and you die, and you were in a gradual process of finishing them, Allah will forgive them as if they were all complete. Just make sure you are actually making an effort to get them done and that you strive in the path of Allah, and even when your having fun remember the limits set by Allah. Allah is all knowing. Also, what other way do we have to repent to Allah except begging and crying, like in dua kumayl we beg to Allah " And have mercy on him whose capital is hope, and his weapon is tears." Nonetheless, we do not have to always be crying and begging for forgiveness, even though its a good thing, as muslims we must grow, learn, work. We have to increase in our beings, and remember how much the prophet, and the Imams worked and studied yet they were of the greatest people to walk on the earth. There are many hadiths where the prophet and Imams have hailed those who study greatly! Just the fact that you fear Allah's punishment, that is making you a better muslimah!

Salaamualaikum, Guys please can we refrain from insulting each other. It was good that you brought up the equality problem, Ethics but you shouldnt have taken it that far. If Forever I'll Beast is in error then you already told him, no need to get overly hyped about it. As for women, to be honest like Ethics said, we have to fix ourselves before we look for a fixed lady. If we make sure that we have dedicated our lives 100% to the cause of Allah, then Allah will bless us with the best mate possible. Also, I wouldnt be looking in a Kufar country like America for a wife if I were you, id head back to your home country and look for a lady who grew up with Ethics (lol), proper values, and deen. Even though there are probably many good women in America, its just going to be hard to find one whos sincerely good. Allah knows best. Patience and avoidance from any sin and I promise you will be successful.

walakumasalmu warahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brother, it does not matter what they think of you. It is what you believe in your heart, and Allah knows whats in your heart. As long as you have it in your heart that you are a shia and nobody can tell you otherwise, then Allah will help you and Allah will bring justice to anyone who laughed at you. What a shameful thing to do at an islamic centre, laugh at someone who wishes to learn about islam. What an embarassment, what a disgrace! Especially because it was an islamic centre. If there is any questions you have, this chat is a great place to start asking there are lots of intelligent people with different perspectives. I promise you nobody will laugh about your questions here.

Salamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I remember I heard this somewhere, but im not sure about its authenticity but it was said that Allah loves his servants more than the mother loves her own baby. If you sin then dont fret, just think like this-let the sin be a lesson for you and instead choose to never commit it again. Channel the negative energy into positive motivational energy to strengthen your iman and your deen. Whenever I consistently sin for a while I feel the same way, my life feels like emptyness, and I think 'im no better than these kufar who Allah blinded with no deen or with a religion that disbelieves in the oneness of Allah.'

Salaamalaikum, May Allah bless you Barabika for making this post! The books finally arrived at my door, I stopped thinking about them ages ago yet they still arrived, and straight to my door as you promised! Inshallah I will get these books done soon and learn what they have to offer. I did not expect them to arrive anymore and they came. Three books all a blessing

Salaamualaikum, If I do recall correctly, didnt the prophet used to make the Kufar who had lost wars only pay a fine? And if they were unable to pay a fine then they had to pay for it through other means, and one of them being sharing their knowledge with the muslimeen, perhaps slavery was one of these? Im not sure about this, sorry.

(salam) Is there a list of books to ask for? I asked for a general idea a long time ago, and I have not recieved anything as of now.

Times like this make me really love this site, everyone just spreads peace and kindness and makes everyone feel better about themselves. May Allah bless you sister Amina and may Allah make you the best of muslim's who will be of the Imam's Ummah. Inshallah! Walaikumasalam.

Salaamualaikum, when the imam comes out he is going to need engineers, workers, intellectuals, mechanics, doctors etc.. not only mujahideen, even though everyone wants to die shaheed like syedna imam hussein (AS). The imam's state is going to function like other countries, except that it will be a theocracy with everything revolving around the true islam, led by our glorious leader, Imam mahdi (Ajelllahu Taala farajahu al-Shareef). The best way we can 'arm' ourselves in the west is to learn learn and learn! We are going to be the ummah of the imam inshallah so we must work together to make the ummah an educated powerful force and to benefit the ummah. After we put our niyah as to work to help the ummah of the imam then Allah will guide us, and Allah will bless us and unite us with the imam and inshallah one day give us passage to the imam's state.

What is mutah? Can someone elaborate please?

Does anyone have any solid fatwa's from marji's about this? I think they are who we should look to before anything.
