Khums is a part of the general term 'Zakat', so is Sadaqa. When Allah Ta'ala in the Quran, the Prophet saww and Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) enjoin upon the believers to pay Zakat, it's not only a reference to what we know as 'Zakat Al Fitra', it's rather all the different dues paid in the way of Allah Ta'ala.

I was rather referring to the ones who generalise and paint whole groups with the same brush, not you.

The pundits ran out of brushes. @hasanhh

@hasanhh Separating the good from the bad requires energy, time and sound judgement. Wholesale vilification is much easier.

@hasanhh It's easier to vilify whole groups rather than use one's intellect to decipher the good from the bad.

You will unfortunately find this double standard even against women who have lost their virginity through a previous marriage. So whilst she could have no Zina to repent for, she's still looked down upon as a 'divorcee'. This is cultural ignorance and the hope is that the Akhalq we claim to follow, will help us overcome such double standard.

There's no bravery nor intelligence in destroying your life and the lives of others. The only 'power' there is in such situation is in the hands of their desires so in fact she and the man are both weak.

اللهم صَلِّ على محمّد خير خلقك أجمعين O'Allah, send your blessings upon Mohammed, the best of all your creation; و صَلِّ على عليّ أمير المؤمنين و فاطمة الزهراء و الحسن و الحسين And send your blessings upon Ali, the Master of believers and Fatima Al-Zahra and both Hassan and Hussain; اللهم صلّ على عليّ بن الحسين و محمد بن عليّ و جعفر بن محمد و موسى بن جعفر و عليّ بن موسى و محمد بن عليّ و عليّ بن محمد و الحسن بن عليّ O'Allah, send your blessings upon Ali son of Hussain, Mohammed son of Ali, Ja'far son of Mohammed, Musa son of Ja'far, Ali son of Musa, Mohammed son of Ali, Ali son of Mohammed and Hassan son of Ali; اللهم صلّ على القائم المنتظر الحجة بن الحسن و اجعلنا من أنصاره و اعوانه إلهٓ الحقّ آمين O'Allah, send your blessings upon the Awaited Riser, The Hujja (Proof) son of Hassan, and bless us in that we become his supporters and helpers, O'Allah of Haqq Ameen.

Whatever happened to not painting everyone with the same brush? If as a Muslim, you don't like being labelled ISIS, then don't label everyone who identifies as Antifa as some violent criminal.

I must say, I commend you for disclosing your previous accounts as I believe many wouldn't. For the record, this is my only account, I've been on ShiaChat since October 2019 and happy to keep my name as is lol

Some are already being held to account: Six Atlanta Police officers are being charged after allegedly using excessive force at protest https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/02/us/atlanta-police-charged-protest/index.html Denver police officer fired for social media post captioned “Let’s start a riot” https://www.denverpost.com/2020/06/02/denver-police-officer-fired-lets-start-a-riot-george-floyd-protest/ Louisville police chief fired after Kentucky man was shot and killed during protests over death of Breonna Taylor https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-louisville-shooting-police-chief-fired-20200601-24k4ssfh3verfa37gl7iw7hi5q-story.html Also, the officers involved in George Floyd's murder will certainly be held to account as the postmortem suggested that it wasn't only the neck compression that resulted in his suffocation but also pressure on his back involving 2 more officers. Only one has so far been charged and the rest have been fired. It's not justice but a step towards it. I would argue that authorities all over the 'democratic' world will now think twice before using excessive force. I also think police forces will have no choice but to review their training and procedures once the dust settles as they need to rebuild the public's confidence in them.

You're most welcome. If I recall correctly, this is the Latmeya as the above links no longer work.

You can either pause or carry on. Both would be correct. Edit- If you decide to pause: 'FaWailun LilMusaleen, Allatheena-hum 'An Salatihim Sahoon' If you decide to carry on: 'FaWailun LilMusaleena-Allatheena-hum 'An Salatihin Sahoon' (the a being theفتحة‎‎ Fatḥa)

Ws Wr wBarakatuh, Being blessed to be part of the 313 is precisely 'finding Allah's face'. The two are exactly the same. As for changing names, I think most members who do change their names, do it to distance themselves from their older posts lol We change and so do our positions so nothing wrong with that I guess. Either way, all the best of luck to you brother.
