The sharia does provide rules for both Prophets and Ummah without asking anyone to neglect their duties. The matter of Sahw before me is similar to the matter of Sadaqah. While Prophet (PBUHHP) never ate any Sadaqah even in his entire life not one date and abide by the rules of Allah (عزّ وجلّ) by abstaining from it without inventing a story, the question is why don't people regard this fact when the matter of Sahw comes. It is beyond the character of Prophet to invent stories for things to establish legality of the things because if that was the criteria why did not prophet do that for all things. Allah (عزّ وجلّ) says in Quran: "No change comes therein the ways of Allah (عزّ وجلّ)". So, why would Allah (عزّ وجلّ) give stories for some prohibited things but not for others. I consider such things to be against the majesty of Allah (عزّ وجلّ).

A hadith even if be declared Sahih but goes against the Uswa of Rasool (SAAWW) or Allah (عزّ وجلّ), does not make it a true hadith. If one accepts this hadith, it makes him question either the ideals of Prophethood or Godhead. By believing this hadith either you put Prophet's character to be untrustworthy and attributing his mistake to Allah (عزّ وجلّ) or saying that Allah (عزّ وجلّ) made his prophet to be negligent while neither the Prophet attribute the lie nor Allah (عزّ وجلّ) makes one negligent in his duties. For such kind of Ahadith Allah (عزّ وجلّ) says do not make me witness among your disputes by taking oath in my name. And, regarding the quote attributed to Prophet that he said such thing for Allah, Allah (عزّ وجلّ) complained about such attitude by saying about shaitan that he will try to cover his tracks by saying "O Allah, you misguided me". It will be shameful for a Muslim to attribute same sin to Prophet which portrays Shaitani behavior.

Who are these people lolz?

I did not mean to say that you surely got that from your family, I just told you one of two possibilities, the first being a family and the second being the social circle where you like to spend time. You asked could there be any other reason? I think that all the mental ailments results from some sort of social experience and the problem you are facing is not one with which one is born with. Well, abstinence is best form of cure that you can give yourself, this is what probably Aristotle or some Greek philosopher said: "I do not know how will a person get cured if he does not abstain from that which harms himself". If you know there is some medicine which can cure your condition then go ahead for that but if there is none then abstinence from such environment is best for you. I wish I knew some sort of cure for your illness but I do not know. I just know "abstinence is general medicine that cures many diseases" and I suggested you the same.

There can only be one of two reasons. One of the reason is that a person gets his bad habits due to his family and other reason is due to his own preferences. In the first case, it has been found that when families tend to have certain bad habits among them which they do not consider bad, those bad habits keep repeating in the coming generations. One of the case which I found was of two different persons living born in the same year, married in same year and having similar number of children but one of them was a criminal minded person and another person was a hardworking person. So, the history of both these persons were tracked down for many generations and it was found out that the criminal person's generations has a lot of criminal history and less academically acclaimed individuals while the generation of hardworking person were found to be mostly academically acclaimed and less degree of criminal history. So, it boils down to this that often families are caught up in bad habits because those families nurture such habits through validation if not through adoption. So, when the children don't think it is bad, they became prey of it. Second case is of preference. Often people fail to distinguish between morally upright decision and indecent habit due to false notion that doing such thing makes them look cool or emotional blackmail that doing such things actually is not that bad as it is seems. As regards false notion that doing such thing makes them look cool, often the people who fall into the addiction of cigarettes, gambling and drugs because they think that often rich and cool people do that things and doing that makes them look rich and cool. . As for the case of emotional blackmail, people often try to play this trick in order to lessen their degree of criminal action such as one case is that when I saw a murderer who was being sentenced to death said in his final speech before the court decreed him to death that "I am really ashamed of what I did, causing victim's family a great loss but what I want to request to victim's family is that why would you want my family to go through the same pain as pleading for my death, killing me will not bring the deceased back". So, you see how the murderer played the victim game through emotional blackmail to justify why should he live long even though he got other person's life. In the similar fashion, homosexuals often play this game that they were born with what they prefer now which is a false notion. It is always due to accepting such bad idea that leads them to decay their souls. So, it is always due to the environment you are born into or prefer to hang. Allah (عزّ وجلّ) did not ask your family, your friends or you to adopt such habits and has no hand in it. There is only one way to get rid of bad habits as taught by Islam and that is to abstain from such environment and gatherings. I hope it will help you.

As far as i know, if a person does not look at a girl with a bad intention, it is fine but that also has to be taken care of because looking at girls too much which might make them uncomfortable or concerned falls into a sin as well. As regards your case, you are not sinning because you are trying to find a way for yourself. You shouldn't worry for that ok.

Indeed bro, the responsibility of the living is not merely to live but also to think about security of all resources, creatures and the earth itself. Right now, I am very much concerned about the melting glaciers, excessive green house gases and massive climate changes causing flooding and droughts. But, unfortunately our governments aren't doing anything about it. Recently, we are facing massive flooding in Pakistan due to melting of glaciers and continuous rain spells throughout august and September. I read few articles which suggested that planting trees is not the only solution rather countries need to reduce their industrial emissions to reduced the 1 degree rise in temperature throughout world. I hope they come up to an agreement about it or else we will pay gravely for it.

That is very dumb thought to think that we need to make world worse for the end times lolz. Contrary to this dumb thought, I read that even when judgement day will be upon people and Dabatul Arz will appear, there will still be people trying to make world a better place as they will be believers and they will not be terrified to see Dabatul Arz as they will be on his side but the unbelievers. One of the signs of judgement day will be reappearance of Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام) and Imam Mehdi is a good sign rather than bad and he will be sent because most of the people be dumb in that age so Imam Mehdi will be sent to correct them and put them out of their stupidity. Even in end days Allah (عزّ وجلّ) does not leave creation without sending Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام) and Dabatul Arz. So, they should better think either to please those two personalities or else receive a punishment.

There are many Shia Tafaseer. None of can be declared totally accurate but all of them together can help you to understand various topics. You can find explanation of certain verses in one tafseer which you may not find in other tafaseer. The most famous tafaseer which I know are Tafseer-e-Mizan, Tafseer-e-Namoona, Tafseer-e-Qummi and Tafeseer by Ayotullah Agha Poya which I occasionally read. I hope brothers can tell you other tafaseer as well.

It sometimes happen bro. It happens because we lack context, additional information or level of maturity about it. But, we can skip those verses for our later years with the hope that we will get to understand that. Btw, which verse at this moment, you cannot understand?

The words reformation and progressive Islam is actually a term used by those who think Islam needs to be modified according to their own thinking. The main problem which they can't realize is that Islam is for all times, it does not need modifications rather it has to be understood. All people who have such ideology or reformation or progression, know Islam only outwardly and unaware it's deep wisdom. So, what they do emphasize upon is to mold Islam according to their cultural preferences. However, what they should do, is to understand Islam and follow its original teachings which guarantees welfare of all creation.

The origins of Latmiya or Noha has a distant history. It is not new to humans, in fact, If I am not wrong and anyone would correct me if I am wrong, the first people asked to do Matam were the pious people who were asked to weep over Hazrat Habeel, the martyred son of Prophet Adam (عليه السلام) and the Prophet Adam (عليه السلام) wept on his son. The people were asked to raise a banner and do Matam is mentioned in Hayat al Quloob. Secondly, if you remember from Quran, Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) was named Nuh because he used to weep too much. Nohas or Latmiya can be traced as primitive as the beginning of poetry because like poetry, Latmiya or Nohas are also form of emotions in words. In reference to its history in Shia Islam, there were many poets who read Nohas regarding incident of Karbala before our Holy Imams. Once instance I remember is of a poet who recited Noha before Imam Reza (عليه السلام) and Imam Reza (عليه السلام) gifted him with precious clothes. As regards matam. it is also a physical expression of sorrow. It is accepted by both shia and sunni sources. As regards sunni sources, it is mentioned in various ahadith that whenever Prophet (PBUHHP) felt angry or sorrow, he used to hit his thigh. Also, there is a famous hadith about Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام) in sunni books that one of the sign of Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام) would be that he will feel difficulty in speaking few words, so he will hit his thigh in frustration (It is not a shia hadith and we do not think Imam Mehdi (عليه السلام) be lacking in something, it is just a reference regarding sunni' resources acceptance of such form of gestures).

@hm128 Thank you for sharing.

I asked same question one year ago from Gemini about existence of creator. So guess what the Gemini said? It said people are debating about it whether there is creator or not and I am confused about it. So, I directly asked it that whether you had a creator or came out of nothing, it said I have creators then I asked then how come this universe which is more complex than you don't have a creator and came out of nothing about which you are confused. It said that you are right, this universe is more complex than I am and I am convinced that there is a creator. Right after that message, there came a message to me which said something like "your content is being analyzed for the purpose of enhancing the software capability". So, these all AI's cannot be relied as a authentic source in all aspects as they only provide those things which is famous Current Western Popular Beliefs, Traditions and views about other foreign cultures which are not actually the representation of all people rather the minority which has made them popular through media and culture to deceive others . You cannot rely on them until they provide you with something that can be verified from the major sources favoring or opposing a topic. So, we shouldn't refer it to others including children and students to rely upon it as authentic until we have told them all the pros and cons of these software.

Detaching yourself from world in terms of sayings of Prophet (PBUHHP) and His family (عليه السلام), means following things: 1. Do not be overwhelmed by the material things but do not live a life as an insolvent or Muflis (Who is poor and cannot support himself). Spend on your self but not unnecessarily like people have clothes which they often do not wear and shoes that they cannot wear all time. Spend in charity but not in such a way that you will have nothing to look after yourself and beg for it. 2. Sit in the meetings of Ahlebait (عليه السلام) that is to say do not waste your time among people who do not cease to complain of others rather read and listen Quran and Hadith of Ahlebait (عليه السلام). To listen to people but only for four purposes that is to say 1) For lessening their grief, 2) by advising them about solutions to their problems or 3) for the purpose of reconcillation among two opposing people having complains of each other or 4) for supporting the aggrieved person by means of pleading his case to a person to whom you have access to but the aggrieved has not. 3. Enjoy your life in a Halal way as far as possible. If you are compelled to do something which is not totally Halal, you should try your best to make it Halal as far as possible. In times of compulsion, you are not held responsible for things which are forced upon you entirely but that you will be asked up to the extent of your ability that you had in that time of compulsion.
