love is not shirk per se(shirk here means concealed polytheism, not minor polytheism like riya or major polytheism). If the love is for the sake of Allah its not concealed shirk. There was someone who was very agitated because they had just gotten married and loved their wife a lot, but they felt guilty because they thought it was a kind of betrayal to Allah. He asked a mystic about this, and the mystic told him the more he loved his spouse the more he loves god The blanket statement "love is shirk" is problematic and it should be clarified (1) The more you love your spouse, The more you will love God! | Ayatollah Tihrani| - YouTube

Sleep is actually not included in the hadith, the hadith is about time when you are awake. Also it shouldn't be taken too literally. When the hadith talks about the socialising it specifically talks about people who will benefit you spiritually, so not any old kind of socialising. Yes Islam tells us to talk less so this kind of socialising would not be a vain kind, but being with spiritual people to spiritually benefit from them. Also it doesn't mean that conversations are all about reminding of faults, the reminding of faults part could be interpreted more as when you wish to spiritually develop you will be blind to some of your own faults so surround yourself with people who will tell you your faults so that you may treat those faults. when I get home maybe I'll try speak my thoughts on this more, but my thoughts are just my own opinion

First, know that Allah loves you Second for the depression try a few things: 1. Diet: Diet can have a pretty big impact. I just checked a vid and many people in the comments are attesting to keto helping a loved one's autism. Try out the keto diet where you intake 80 to 90 percent fat, and the other 10 or 20 percent carbs and protein.(don't worry about consuming so much fat, contrary to myths, eating fat in itself doesn't make you fat) The diet could consist of foods, such as: • Fatty meat • Coconut oil ( or you could get mct oil which is even better) • Eggs ( good quality eggs are one of the best foods out there) • Fatty fish ( I would supplement omega 3, its very important) Also you can have salads too and any other meat you want You would also want to add electrolytes( magnesium, potassium, salt), B vitamins Also have at least 5000 iu of vitamin D a day, vit D is very important for the body. cut out the sugar in your diet and cut out veggie oils Also supplement on probiotics for the gut, most serotonin is produced in the gut By God's permission this diet may reduce the symptoms of the depression and autism, try implement it slowly and see if it helps. For the keto part, there will be something called a keto flu, as your body is not used to it so when you feel symptoms if you switch to keto you need to intake electrolytes to a high enough amount. This includes salt, a few thousand miligrams of potassium and 400 mg of magnesium a day. You can get potassium from losalt, those salt brands that replace sodium with potassium and you can get it from green veggies but those veggies differ in how much they have. Salt is extremely important in tackling keto flu. I'm sorry for overwhelming you, but these were dietary points I think you could try to help Exercise: Exercise is extremely important for mental health, exercise daily even if it's just walking.

Inshaalah you'll benefit a lot from this: You need God's Love more than you think - YouTube

this doesn't justify what you said, it doesn't suggest they believed in the dependence of those idols on God. In fact it seems apparent that the pagans believed in the independence of the idols in certain matters, and thus were polytheists. an extract: the pagans designated a horizontal relationship with Allah and that is what is being condemned and that made them polytheists. regardless I don't say personally that you can just say anything about the Imams because there is a vertical relationship. But I do think that sticking to the beliefs of theologians who lived a thousand years ago isn't necessary and that we can evolve our understanding of the Imams without attributing divinity or lordship to them. However there can be extremist positions even regarding the vertical relationship so if a person wishes to make a claim they need to provide evidence and show how it doesn't contradict Quran.

The Sheikh had posted something about God's love and an example he gave was the sun and moon as blessings for us out of his love for us, and someone had written something in the comments, basically that God, in his love wouldn't allow us to remain in hardship. They were pretty rude and aggressive about it but the way the sheikh responded softened their heart and I think its a really good way to deal with those who might misunderstand religion. With empathy. S stands for sheikh and C stands for commenter. In the middle comment, the commenter was responding to another individual

How do you manage to not burn out working for that much a week?

The theories are just an attempt to understand Quran and hadith at a much higher level. God isn't going to spoon feed us, a lot of higher teachings are in the Quran but unfortunately they have been neglected because we didn't have the capacity to understand. There's a reason its a common trend that the Imams forbade those who knew more about their status from disclosing their secrets, its because people couldn't handle it. Some were rightly accused of ghuluw and some were falsely accused of ghuluw. At the very least we can agree that secrets did exist and a very small minority had access to some of these secrets. For example if you read risalah al wilayah by Allamah Tabatabai its full of Quran and ahadith. Allamah wasn't just a philosopher or mystic, but he was also a mufassir, so he would never think to go against Quran in his worldview and he believed his worldview was in line with the Quran, even if to some his worldview seems to be against Quran. Anyways scholars like Ayatollah Hasanzadeh have proved a lot of things that may have not been conventionally accepted like immateriality of the soul for which he provided 20 proofs . To be honest, the best way to see their views is to read his books. Anyways I think at least the second video you will like to watch. The ulama abrar p2 video, because it talks about ghuluw and mufawidha and because this discussion especially happens here at shiachat frequently it would be great if you watched it when you have time and gave your thoughts. (2) 07 - Ramadhan 1443 | Dr. Faroukh Sekaleshfar | What Exactly Ulamaa Abrar Theory Entailed? (p2) - YouTube I would also say watch part 3 if you have time but part 2 is more important.

My bad, I'm not good at understanding poetry

Usually they say a parent is being kind or hits their children out of love. Maybe the angel's harshness causes one to grow, but if the angel used love instead of fear, the person might grow far quicker : ). The question is, how do you see your lord. Is the angel reflecting how you see your lord

why is the angel not being kind like its kind Lord

What do you define as a real religious Ayatollah? Why does liberality define a person's religiosity? What's the proof being conservative makes one a better mujtahid than being non-conservative? I'm not saying this to defend or oppose anyone. Just this statement in general is what I'm asking about

yes its this 3 part series on the theory of Ulama Abrar. Part 2 is on the same channel and part 3 is linked above.

The max Kadivar could go is do his own taqleed, if indeed he is a mujtahid. In Islam, being mujtahid doesn’t mean everybody else can do your taqleed. To be Marja’ Taqleed, a person needs higher qualifications than just being a Mujtahid. … thanks for sharing the links btw, after reading the Hijab view of his, I would say he better not do his own taqleed, since he seems to have partial sources available to his disposal… He also seems devoid of spiritual and moral aspects of the Fiqh rulings, otherwise why would he give a “fatwa” on something which is not applicable to himself (he is a male after all) and in doing so earn the Masia’ of those few women who would chose to listen to his view, To be fair, we impose the spiritual and moral aspects of fiqh rulings onto fiqh. for example, take the rulings of purity of non muslims, some impose the idea that they are inherently najis because of their kufr. But recently there has been a shift in fiqh and non muslims (non ahlul kitabi) will be ruled as tahir most likely in the future. Some maraja have ruled them tahir and others have changed it from impure to impure with obligatory precaution. Those spiritual dimensions that we imposed turned out to be false. We can extrapolate spiritual and moral aspects from fiqh, but we can't invalidate fiqh because of our own conceptions of spirituality and morality, at least that seems to be the case in my view. I just wanted to comment on this since its a good point to comment on.

As for the proof of the existence of these realms, to my knowledge I certainly know until the immaterial realm, things have been proven and its mentioned in another video that Ayatollah Hasanzadeh Amoli provided 20 proofs for the immateriality of the soul, although some theologians even still living today reject this, as did Shaykh Mufid.
