Salam dears- While talking with kids tonight on the 19th Ramadhan events, gave them a small talk on luring of the woman (Dunya) who had promised Ibn-Muljim herself for Mehr of the assassination of Ameer ul Momineen (عليه السلام). We talked on how he was a disgruntled soldier in Imam’s army, and how his lack of conviction in Imam’s cause and his infatuation of the woman got the better of him. We also talked about Hurr (عليه السلام) and how he overcame his desire for certain promotion, and lots of wealth and honors in king’s court and chose to sacrifice himself at the feet of Sayed ush Shohada (عليه السلام). We talked on how each one of us would definitely get our Hurr and Ibn-Muljim moment - through our infatuation for him or her, for certain career, for some job offer we ought not to take, for certain compromise on our deen to get ahead, or to save face or friendships. Writing it here for a reminder for myself and for all of you, watch out for your Hurr and Ibn-Muljim moment. That test is coming since it’s promised in Qur’an. Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: “We believe,” and that they will not be tested? For We indeed tested those who went before them. Allah will most certainly ascertain those who spoke the truth and those who lied.” (29-2,3)

But the truth is, they do. Call it a built in defect, or the everlasting affect of eating p—p of the camel of the mother of believers while she was heading to Kufa to commit an act of mini genocide. I still remember, throughout growing up, even the most secular, the most sympathetic used to have that wonderful glow on their faces for every little loss of IRI on any front. Its the lack of political insight, or the lack of whatever, the realty is, many tummies are filled with the haram handouts of 1st laeen to the modern day laeens, their mothers and daughters donning the harems of their warlords, the centuries of haraam sustenance has produced so much haraam-ibn-haraam, that expecting anything of the alliance with the righteous is just plain impossible. This is the ‘extreme filtration’ of the end times; truth is evident, falsehood is evident, even the enemy himself is saying who are his allies and who are his adversaries, yet these haraam nafoos of bloodful centuries pick the side of Ibless, Yazeed, MBSs whatever & wherever a small chance they get. Overall, Ahlul Sunnah are our brothers and we Shia would do everything to assist our oppressed brothers among them.

DOGE is just dodging everything important, they ain’t cutting anything which would help reduced US debt, the three biggest behemoths of US yearly budget, the 80% portion, they aren’t even talking about. For perspective, even if they fire off everybody in all agencies and still don’t touch the three big ones, they would only save $70million a year, which is a drop in the $6T yearly budget. It’s just another Trump GOP sham stage show going on.

May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) make it easy for you. Yes your nikah is valid, you just promise all of us here, as our SC community’s dear daughter/sister to do two things and be consistent on it. 1. Don’t get pregnant until this marriage turns into permanent 2. Do complete your eduction so you could ‘potentially’ live off of your own earnings without a dependency on anyone. May you never need to, and your husband remains a reasonable momin man of the house, but this is for your own safety and self love. With Duas’

Even though the chaos in Syria isn’t good for anyone, it gives an opportunity to the AOR to carve out a permanent corridor to Leb. Also the reason of current Zio blitz in Syria is to forestall exactly such a development. Although it won’t / can’t happen till the AOR establishes a powerful air-force, without which it would be like stepping in a meat grinder.

Truth is, Russia created the conditions that are forcing the West to accept the reality of defeat, everything else we are seeing is a theatrics. The POTUS trump monkey jumps are just an attempt to wash away the million deaths and $500B price tag, leaving poodle EU as bag holders who are forced to buy US expensive LNG and being more dependent on US largesse for another century. Had Russia not forced the West’s hand, NATO would have been writing this another successful triumph of the ‘free world’. Like Imam Ali (عليه السلام) said, in a war at least one side could be wrong, or both could be wrong, but both can never be right. In this war, both sides were wrong, and it turns out the whole things was about the rare earths mines, 70% of which are under Russian control.

Salam- yea OP. As long as you keep the rules upheld to protect your rights in marriage, timed Aqd is definitely an option. I would recommend don’t go for a Sunni man for this, because in their cult, it’s equal to Zina and he is likely using you as a score of sleeping with a Shia momina. As a general rule, for females every time, and for males for their untimed Aqd, they should never pick a spouse who is below their own Aqaid tenants. For us Shia this makes us to only go for another Shia of Waliyat beliefs to be truly compatible for both kinds of marriages, timed or untimed. with Duas.

Some music is ok, some is haram. Reason we as a family don’t go to the popular concerts, besides not wasting money on something which gives us nominal pleasure, is due to mixed gatherings, close calls with idiots, some or few almost always intoxicated folks, and besides non-spiritual, a general unhealthy environment for our lungs and noses. On the other hand, if it’s in a stadium sitting, we are with friends, and the performers are someone we appreciate for their art, and the music is such that it won’t invite stupids from the street, we may go. But again, we would rather eat as a family in an exquisite dining than wasting our money on something that would be available for free on YT.

If you have a plan, that is you are in college, are working towards a degree, and in your spare time working odd jobs to pitch in towards your fee so you would take less loans and help out your father in his finances etc., and if you have a good Akhlaq and your practice of Deen is right, then it’s their loss who are rejecting you and not yours. I’ve known many parents here and on other places, those who are in favor or early marriages bypass the Now, and look for the Future, as long as above profiles are encountered.

Halal of Muhammad (sawaw) is halal till the day of judgement, Haram of Muhammad (sawaw) is haram till the day of judgement. Some things do fall in the category of Mustahab, Mubah, and Makrooh depending on the situation and circumstances, most of which are also defined and some are depending on the new circumstances. None of us from the nation of Muhammad (sawaw) have a right to alter the above.

Correction- Parents CAN order (and children must obey) to do things that Allah hasn’t made obligatory, as long as those things aren’t haram. In other words, kids must (it becomes their religious duty) to do Mubah things that their parents order them to do as long as those things aren’t haram. Parents cannot order to do things that Allah has made haram. If parents do, then they are sinful. Parents (who are inherently sinful people) can potentially order to do things that Allahs has made haram, but children must resist and disobey those things that are haram (like some parents order their daughters to not do hijab, or look the other way when their sons are doing haram things).

It depends. There has been a couple of cases in our community where the girls were lazy, not interested in college (passed high school), and just remained lazy at home, to the point their parents were concerned that they might get physical and mental health issues due to laziness and boredom. They insisted them to find some minion work for them for a reason to bring some discipline in their lives. Overall it isn’t Wajib on woman to work for living and sustain her family, but it is Wajib on her to seek education and skills so she doesn’t remain dependent on someone else. It’s also Wajib on her to save her life and honor and if she has to work to protect these, then it becomes Wajib on her to work and earn halal living.

I knew it’s a circus when within two min. of his wonderfully prepared speech, Trump said no more wars but then he declared a war on threatening to taking over Panama Canal by force. He also declared a police war on the illegal immigrants, I was feeling sorry for all the little children of illegal parents listening to his speech, imagine the anxiety of potential separation, or deportation to a land they no longer have connection to. And his demonic “drill baby drill”, in US we have permanently poisoned water supply of the whole states due to coal mining, the gulf states having highest cancer rates, I’m scared of well being of our third generation of what environmental disaster is to come to the beautiful outdoors of the US. As bad as they already are, not many people realize that North America and Africa are the last land mass left majorly unpolluted by the industries, and he is determined to destroy at least one of these.

Check with your Marja’ or a Shia scholar in your own town and ask him how does he determine it for himself. From what I asked (do not take this as a ruling), I made the intention that the large city which is made up of hundred of towns and cities in one larger area is my city which spans 90 miles end to end on three major highways (for example Dallas Forthworth, or greater Houston, or greater London, or greater LA, or Toronto, all of these are bunch of small towns and cities called one city now). If I’m on the edge of either of this 90 miles long gulp of the city, and I drive 14 miles for a day trip, out towards the wilderness, I Qasr my salat. If I’m travelling the other way where I see houses and malls and every 10 miles later, the name of the small towns and cities change, I consider them as part of my larger city and don’t Qasr my salat till I reach the 90 miles up at the edge. If you wanna understand what I’m saying, take the map of any of these cities I mentioned and see what I’m suggesting. Again, end of the day, talk to a local ‘alim and ask him specifically what and how he does it.

Here’s another one in English.
