https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/ Please visit the website of Ayatollah Sistani above^ and read the section on Mutahhirat. Reading other relevant sections may be helpful as well (i.e. taharat, najis things).

Forgot to add: Ayatollah Muhammad Husain Tabatabi Lol there's just so many great books on there. Also, al-islam.org has a lot of translated hadith collections too which you might wanna check out. I'd focus on theology/aqeedah/beliefs type books first and maybe some spirituality/akhlaq (forty hadith by Khomeini is great for this, also adab as salat another great one).

Books by Shaheed Ayatollah Baqir ul Sadr, Shaheed Mortaza Motahari, Ayatollah Abul Qasim al Khoi, Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi, and Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi You can just search up their names on google with "al islam" beside it

So one of them got actually got banned (he tried coming back recently but not sure if it worked out) and one just seemed to have randomly left (didn't get to ask this one).

I definitely do care about this, and this worries me a lot because from a simple third person point of view, I feel these are hard qualities to find nowadays, especially with all these extremely self-centric liberal modernists who are forcing their ill values, attitudes, and thinking styles into the minds of many youth, and especially our female Muslim youth... I also care A LOT about point 2 on your list, also kinda point 3 lol.

If so, maybe you need to very kindly and warmly talk to them about the situation and about how it's negatively affecting you and your wife, who's also pregnant too. Also, show your wife that you're standing up for her and are trying to better the situation for her. You may find this short speech use

Salaam bro, inshaAllah you can overcome this! Despairing in Allah is the second worst sin, what a beautiful Lord is He that He made this a sin for us! The doors of mercy and purity are always open through tawbah, regardless of one's past. But man, aside from thinking about the damage to your soul, it's psychologically damaging too and worse than that, physically damaging! Extreme addicts of porn and masterbation are reported to suffer from weakness and other physical issues. Also, when they finally have normal marital sex, they don't feel as satisfied apparently and it's not a

@Abu Hadiwouldn't the philosophical proof be deductive? (The one about: the law of causality, independent/dependent being, necessary/contingent being, and the impossibility of infinite regression and circular argument...this proof has several names and versions I think, it's one of the most solid/robust proofs out there if understood properly in my opinion.)

I haven't properly looked into this concept but I believe that if not most, a lot of grand maraje and top scholars of ours do not believe in this and this has always been the case. If I'm not wrong.

Nothing is like Him, and He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing. (42:11 - Tanzil.net - Ali quli Qarai Translation)
