May Allah comfort everyone in your time of grief. InShaAllah. 

After contemplating the matter over a few months, I have realized that my time on ShiaChat has truly come to an end after 16 years. As such I will no longer be participating on the forum nor responding to PMs. Please keep me in your good du'as and forgive my short comings.

Going off to Saudi Arabia (Medina and Mecca) and also India as well to see some relatives as well as going to see the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

ألم ألم ألم ألم بدائه إن أن آن آن آن أوانه
"A pain encompasses me and I do not know it's cause / When the pained expresses his pain the time of his healing nears."

Eid mubarak to everyone who simply does not feel the spirit and vibes of Eid this year.To those who will be in school and working all day.To reverts who feel a sense of loneliness on Eid.To those struggling with their faith.To those who are trying hard to survive amidst family or financial problems.To those who are combating physical,mental or emotional issues. 
May you all have an Eid that brings smiles to your faces and happiness to your heart.

عدة من أصحابنا، عن سهل بن زياد، عن جعفر بن محمد الأشعري، عن ابن القداح، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): الدعاء ترس المؤمن ومتى تكثر قرع الباب يفتح لك.

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
الشرير يهرب ولا طارد اما الصدّيقون فكشبل ثبيت
נָ֣סוּ וְאֵין־רֹדֵ֣ף רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝צַדִּיקִ֗ים כִּכְפִ֥יר יִבְטָֽח׃
Proverbs 28:1

"There's no place like home." 

Say, To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"
They will say, "To Allah ." Say, "Then will you not remember?"
Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"
They will say, "[They belong] to Allah ." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"
Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"
They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah ." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars. Q23:84-90

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.

My dreadful crimes have deadened my heart,
so bring it to life by a repentance from You!
O my hope and my aim!
O my wish and my want!
By Your might, I find no one but You to forgive my sins.

The Whispered Prayer of the Repenters (Taibeen) مناجاة التائبين

اجِرْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ يَا مُجِيرُ
Keep us safe from the everlasting fire O Giver of Refuge!

Hadrat Ali (as) says: For the common people, the Qur’an provides apparent sentences; for some sophisticated individuals, it provides mysterious allusions; and for the saints of Allah, it reveals delicate divine nuances, while for the prophets it presents ‘facts’.

He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Umar al-Je'abi reported from Abdullah b. Ishaq,
who reported from Ishaq b. Ibrahim al-Baghvi, who reported from Abu Qatan, who
reported from Hisham al-Dastwai, from Yahya b. Abu Katheer, from Urwah, from
Abdullah b. Umar that the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said:

"Surely, Allah does not withdraw knowledge from the people by erasing it from their
minds; rather, He does so by taking away the learned people (from among them).
And when there is no learned man around, people adopt the ignorant men as their
leaders, and refer their questions to these (ignorant leaders), who answer without
any knowledge, thus going astray, and causing others to go astray."  Al-Amali Sheikh Mufid p.26

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted-its caprice!
Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!
Destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector! - Dua'a Sabah
