  4. It's possible that it's a borrowed concept or description from Greco-Roman paganism and as such has no basis in reality...but it's also possible that it's a true account...keep in mind that every nation has had a prophet sent to it...many pearls of truth become mixed in alongside the false and fanciful, legendary tales
  5. From Ayatollah Wikipedia: "Jabulqa and Jabulsa (Arabic: جابلقا وجابلسا) or Jabalq and Jabars (Arabic: جابلق وجابرس), are two legendary cities mentioned in Islam. They are said to be made of green emerald and visited by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in his Night Journey. Alexander the Great with two harpies perched on pillars in Jābalasā. In a conversation between Muhammad and his cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cities are described as situated in darkness and contiguous to the primeval Mount Qaf. Jabulqa is located in the eastern-most corner of the world and Jabulsa on the western-most one. The figure Dhu al-Qarnayn, mentioned in the Quran, is said to have tried to visit the cities but gave up halfway. However, he was successful in seeing the places where the sun rises and sets. Each city is 12,000 parasangs (at least 36,000 miles) long and wide, with 12,000 gates, and each are guarded by 12,000 men until the Day of Resurrection, when the Qa'im will appear. In the early Basa'ir al-darajat, these cities were inhabited by archetypal male believers who are neither human, jinn nor angels (but whose service to God is similar to those of angels). They appear to be part tellurian and part angelic yet enjoy mystical communion with all the Imāms while awaiting the appearance of the Qa'im. The cities are guarded by 1,000 men each night for a year for each of the 12 fortresses due to enemies called Tharis and Taqil, who behave like Gog and Magog. Muhammad visited the cities in his Night Journey. In the Kitab al-Haft wa-l-azilla (8th–11th century CE), transmitted by Nasayri Shi'a, the sixth Imam al-Sadiq states that the Qa'im will live in these cities. Later Shi'i scholars, including Muhammad Taqi al-Majlisi (d. 1659) and Muhammad Baqir al-Bahai al-Hamadani (d. 1915), have used these two cities to support the story of the Green Island, the place where the last Imam is said to be hiding. The cities also appear in the works of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi and Shaykh Ahmad. Bahá'u'lláh, founder of the Bahá'í Faith, in his Javáhiru’l-Asrár (Gems of Divine Mysteries) and other works, interprets Jabulqa and Jabulsa symbolically."
  6. It's forbidden to call upon the otherworldly entities, even for academic purposes...better to study from a distance so as not to inflict harm on yourself and loved ones...imagine opening a portal and then it refuses to close...some misdiagnosed people are lingering in sanitariums all over the world because they unleashed something that refused to be controlled...study those who study it firsthand would be my suggestion...that way you're benefitting from their experience without engaging directly
  7. Trump is such a wild card that it's hard to predict his moves from moment to moment...he called Zelenski a "dictator"...a week later, when a reporter asked him whether or not he still believed Zelensky was a dictator...Trump responded with, “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”
  8. Sunni diplomatic immunity is uttering the phase , "in a manner that befits His Majesty" Sunni get out of anthropomorphic jail free card
  9. I've been debating this point w/ Shi'i lay people since the late 80's and no one can give me a straightforward answer...or the whole following a dead scholar versus following a living scholar thing...Also, why can't we follow a concensus of scholars? Let's say we have 30 scholars total...20 say lottery machines in gas stations are haram because they're an overt form of gambling...the other 10 say they're allowed because buying a lottery ticket is like purchasing a raffle ticket for spaghetti dinner at the local elementary school and the money's going to a charitable cause...then we would adopt the opinion held by the 20 because they constitute the majority opinion
  10. There's no real "diversity" in American politics...only illusion of choice...two political parties, 23 different flavors of bagels
  11. I adopt Hizb ut-Tahrir's position of not participating in kufr system and not voting for taghut...I believe this is the true Shi'i stance as well...I've never voted...not even once
  12. Although I haven't heard his name mentioned yet...but I can easily see Rick Rubin being involved in this circle as well...it wouldn't surprise me in the least...seems like he's the only billion dollar hip hop mogul missing puzzle piece left from the equation
  13. I fear for Whitney Webb's life...she should consider moving to Russia like Edward Snowden...if they really decide to come for her, Chile won't be able to protect her
