One of my colleague got covid, was in a hospital for 2 months and 1 month later in the meeting, we still see him with oxygen pipe. 

Alaikas Salaam, 
Conjecture again. You don't have any fatwa specific to movie 'Lady of heaven' from Sayed Ali Sistani. 

I know about sayed Khamenei but Sayed Ali Sistani does not have any fatwa on the movie. Don't pick up his old fatwa and make conjecture and deviate people. 
If he has given direct fatwa on this movie, please post along with link to his website. 

Not 100 percent sure but Banu Tameem were black people. If it is true then Abu Bakr should be depicted as he was. 

One of my colleague got covid, was in a hospital for 2 months and 1 month later in the meeting, we still see him with oxygen pipe. 

I'm joking. Me and my parents are fully vaccinated and absolutely fine. No side-effects Alhamdulillah. Getting vaccinated is not an option anymore.

Side effects are real. I became less active on SC after taking both dose. Even while writing this, my fingers are tReMbLiNg. 

Remember if you don't take the vaccine because it is experimental, you are still in the experiment albeit you're the control sample.

Alhamdulillah, today I took my second dose, I’m fully vaccinated now 
 
My sisters and my parent are full vaccinated as well, alhamdulillah. My younger brother is still waiting for his first dose, he lives abroad while my youngest brother took his first shot few weeks ago, waiting for his second after few weeks.

Wow - all it took was to watch 1 video for you to consider leaving Shiism. I hope you don't watch any videos on why Hinduism is right and decide to convert again.
You can just as well come out and ask us to answer this video without claiming to be someone you are not. I think you just want everyone to watch the video.
Regardless of who you are, I have news for you. There is nothing in this video that has not been discussed before.
Leaving aside the obvious fact that this person is reading from a script, the 10 reasons are quite superficial and ridiculous.
01) Shias don't focus on Allah:
         One of the signs of a momim (shia) is that he/she should prays 51 rakah per day. 
02) Access to hadiths
         Shias and sunnis genuinely disregard each others sources for obvious reasons. And yet there are plenty of mutawatir (accepted by both) to discuss Islam.
03) Acceptance of Companions
         We have completely different criteria for companions. In Shiism, companions are not hit by a magic wand and become great nor do we bury our head in the sand about the grave errors by Companions. Authentic sunni hadith tell us that companions will go astray and they did.
04) Access to Ahlul-Bayt's real teachings
         Do we even have to go there?
05) Taqiyah free Ahlul-Bayt
        Their teachings are prescribed per the situation. when you find a discrepancy, let's discuss 
06) Access to context of Quran
        No prominent shia scholar believes in tahreef of Quran. There are more sunni references to quran tahreef than shia ones.
07) Reliable books of tafseer
        Tafsir Al-Qummi by Mohammad bin Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Qummi (?? - 919 AD)
        Tafsir Ayyashi by Mohammad ibn Masoud Ayyashi (died 932 AD)
        Tafsir Furat Kufi by Furat Ibn Ibrahim al-Kufi [Wikidata] (died 964 AD)
        Tafsir al-Nu'mani by Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Nu'mani (died 971 AD)
        Al-Tibbyan Fi Tafsir al-Quran by Shaikh Tusi (995 AD - 1067 AD)
        Majma' al-Bayan by Shaykh Tabarsi (1073 AD - 1153 AD)
        Tafsir Safi by Mohsen Fayz Kashani ( ?? - 1680 AD)
        Al-Burhan Fi Tafsir al-Quran by Syed Hashim al Bahrani (died 1696 AD)
        Tafsir Noor al-Thaqalayn by Abd al-Ali ibn Juma Aroosi [Wikidata] (died 1701 AD)
        Tafsir al-Mizan by Allamah Tabatabai (1903 AD - 1981 AD)
        Al-Bayan Fi Tafsir al-Quran by Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei (1899 AD - 1992 AD)
        Fasal Khizab by Mufti Jafar Hussain (1914 AD - 1982)
        Tafsir Anwar e Najaf fi Asrar Mushaf [Wikidata] by Hussain Bakhsh Jarra (1920 AD - 1990 AD)
        Tafsir Nemooneh by Naser Makarem Shirazi (1927 AD - Present)
        Faizan Ur Rehman by Muhammad Hussain Najafi (1932 AD to present)
        Tasneem Tafsir by Abdollah Javadi Amoli (1933 AD to present)
        Tafsir Rahnama by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (1934 AD - 2017 AD)
        Al Kauthar fi Tafsir Al Quran by Mohsin Ali Najafi (1938 AD to Present)
        Tafseer e Masoomeen (عليه السلام) compiled by Wilayat Mission
08) Access to Prophet's biography
        Hayat-Al-Qulub - biography of Prophets
09) Trust in Hadith compilers.
        Bukhari has more ahadith from Huraira who was beaten up for lying than for Ali Al-Siddique.
10) Realistic Karbala Narrative
        Simply read the narrative by Abu Miknaf and countless books that details a very realistic narrative of the events of Karbala.
 
Please, please stay shia now or may be making a video will convince you  
 
 

Umm Salama asked the Prophet Muhammad [s], "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! If a woman married two different men in her life, and they both died, and they went to Paradise, which of the two will she be with?"

The Prophet replied, "O Umm Salama, she will choose the one who had more beautiful character and was better to his family. O Umm Salama, surely, beautiful character will achieve the good of this world and the Hereafter."

110 - في كتاب الخصال عن موسى بن إبراهيم عن أبيه رفعه باسناده رفعه إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ان أم سلمة قالت له: بأبي أنت وأمي، المرأة يكون لها زوجان فيموتان فيدخلان الجنة لأيهما تكون؟فقال: يا أم سلمة تخير أحسنهما خلقا و خيرهما لأهله، يا أم سلمة ان حسن الخلق ذهب بخير الدنيا والآخرة.

(al-Khisal)

Taliban cannot change themselves. The things which are prerequisites for bringing change, are absent in their society. They are as barbarian, ignorant, stupids as they were in past and they will remain same. 

I think he is trying to appeal more to the youth of today, although he is getting older (like everyone) and soon might need to try for another demographic, lol. 
As someone who is in their 40s (not teens or 20s) his style was not the most appealing to me. At the same time, I haven't heard anything from him that I can prove is factually inaccurate or wrong. Anyone who is spreading the message of Ahl Al Bayt((عليه السلام)) in an accurate way and is not doing anything haram (tatoos and hair implants are not haram, although they might not appeal to you) is something good for the community. 
Like when he talks about English Football clubs, this is something as an American I can't related to at all. We all grew up watching NFL (American Football, i.e. the real Football, lol) or Baseball. I don't take him as a source on sports, lol. But as far as spreading out the authentic teaching of Ahl Al Bayt((عليه السلام)), he is doing a good job at this, and this is the more important thing. He is doing these things , like with the baby, to increase the emotional content of the lectures, and these majalis should be emotional, i.e. you should connect emotionally with the tragedy of Karbala and not just on an intellectual level. I think I know what he is trying to do. As long as noone is harmed in the process and he is not saying anything false regarding the events of Karbala, I don't see anything wrong with it. 
I sincerely believe that it is the emotional connection with the Tragedy of Karbala that has sustained us (Shia) as a community over the centuries and millennium and not just the intellectual (Ilmiyyat) connection with this event. This is something that we have that is unique. Other Muslims know about the tragedy of Karbala and some might even accept our interpretation of events, i..e that it wasn't just a 'fitna' but that it was a crime against humanity and against the religion what the cursed ones (Muawiya, Yazid, Umar ibn Saad, Shimr, Harmala, etc) did. But it is just another fact they have in their head, like 2 + 2 = 4 or that the earth is round. They don't have the emotional connection, so how much this fact, by itself,  benefits them is debatable. We have the emotional connection. Anything we can do to increase this emotional connection is good, again provided that we are not believing in things that are false. 
Alhamduillah, today we have many choices, in the English Language, as to which speakers and which majalis we listen to. I think everyone should choose the one that appeals to them, so long as these speakers don't say things that are not true regarding the events. 

He spends all his time studying, researching and reading for our benefits and everyone else.
He uses hadiths from Non Shia books as well for those who don't accept Shia Books. This requires a lot of work and effort.
I understand everyone has different taste, preferences  etc. You see you will never be able to satisfy everyone in life. It does not matter what he do, some people will always try and pick a fault
I understand people may not agree with the method of his lectures.
What pisses me off is people always pick on his tattoo (even non shia). The non shia will go oh he is got a tattoo, he no good, he must be bad, why does he have tattoo if he is a true scholar.  The picking on his tattoo mainly from Non Shia angers me, I mean seriously or is it some can't handle the fact that he will uses hadith from their own books and they don't want to accept the truth, because truth hurts and hard to handle So would rather not know about it so they excuses.
I suppose people expect him to look like as Sheik.
Perhaps whenever there is Question and Answer program with him, some one should post a question regardless these and see what he says.
Looking forward for completely disagree reaction, it's my opinion and understandably people won't agree with it. Perhaps I maybe completely wrong :\ which I will accept.

Not much, this is a ruse to begin another slaughtering of Shias, by acting legitimate and "moderate", they hope the world will back off and look away when the Taliban takes off the mask. Nobody should be fooled by them, a leopard cannot change its' spots. @Abu Nur @The Green Knight @Lion of Shia

Personally I hope for the best and believe there is a slight chance that this version of the Taliban is a bit less extreme than the version from the 90s.
However I'm not holding my breath, apparently there are already stories of abuses but I haven't seen any reports about this and so am not sure about their authenticity.
Another two decades of a foreign led war will be pointless as the Taliban are clearly by far the strongest force in the country and if the Afghan people really don't want to be under their rule they will need a homegrown resistance movement.
We should keep the Afghan people in our prayers, especially the Hazara.

I truly wish misery on every Shi'a that has willingly turned a blind eye to the oppression their Afghan counterparts have been facing/will face now that the Taliban have taken over.
The irony that this is happening during Muharram with tears rolling down their cheeks and beating their chests for those who were oppressed, while at the same time not caring for the oppressed of today, exposes how ignorant they actually are about the lessons from the martyrdom of Hussain. Not only being uncaring, but having cups of chai on their borders with the present-day Yazid army.
We now see the vile intentions of Afghanistan's neighbours. Pakistan being the largest backer of the Taliban (no surprise here) while many ignorant ultra-nationalist Pakistani Shi'as will reject any sort of wrongdoing by their country's PM, army, or intelligence. Iranians and "al-Moqawama" taking the opportunity to cheer as the U.S departs and reminding you every 2 minutes how the U.S failed and will continue failing in the region. All of this at the expense of the Afghans who will now suffer. But hey! Don't forget the U.S's failure in the region! I guess al-Muqawima is only against those who we don't like, and we like the Taliban now!
I now realize how Iran's "help" for Iraq in 2014 was nothing but for their own interests. Iran can form militias out of thin air for Assad, fund and supply powerful missiles to heavily blockaded-Palestinians, "rush" for help when Iraq needs it, but can't lift a finger for Afghanistan? No, there is no conspiracy to "trick" Iran to intervene in Afghanistan so the West can attack Iran. Iran using the shrewd tactics they've used in other countries can easily end the Taliban's rule. If the actual armed forces of Iran intervened the Taliban would be finished in less than 24 hours. But no! Our help is only reserved for those we actually care about, and that doesn't include the Afghan Shi'as.
My heart truly breaks for all those Afghans who have been betrayed by their neighbours. One that clearly has been working against them for years, but also one that was supposed to be its well-wisher. Afghans have been recruited to fight in Iran's dirty war in Syria, dying in the thousands, but are abandoned when they need help in their home country. Pakistani Shi'a fighters are abandoned when they're arrested and vanished by ISI in Pakistan. May God's curses be upon those individual decision-makers responsible for the abandonment and betrayal of these oppressed people.

It seems that Ashraf Ghani has left Afghanistan, as told by Al Jazeera, which has been close to Taliban in the past weeks.
As for those who say Afghans didn't fight, the streets of Kandahar are full of dead unburied bodies of soldiers of the Afghan National Army (ANA), many of whom are young Shia brothers who became martyrs in that fight. And this is just one city. 
I want to see any country establishing diplomatic contact with Taliban, a terrorist group, which instead of taking part in elections chose to violently fight a democratically elected government.

I’m sorry, the only thing I can do for our siblings in Afghanistan praying for them. May allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) protest us all. 

There is nothing wrong with insulting the people that promote kufr and innovation, contrary to popular opinion.
Not only is insulting from the sunnah, it has been commanded to us.
The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: “When you will find people of bid`ah (innovation) and doubt/suspicion after me, do baraa’ (disassociation) from them and increase in your insults (sabihim) to them, and oppose (them) and bring evidences against them so they may not become greedy in bringing fasaad (corruption) to Islam. You must warn people against them and do not learn their bid`ah (innovation). Allah will write for you hasanaat (good deeds) for this, and will raise you darajaat (levels) in the next life.’”

The verse of Baligh at Ghadeer 
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
5:67
The verse of Wilayah 
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ
5:55
The numerical placement of verse of Baligh at Ghadeer after verse of Wilayah
67-55 = 12
Both the verses are connected by numeral 12 that is exactly the count of 12 imams.

Eid Ghadeer Mubarak
