S/A brothers and sisters. I have two questions and seeking for answers. I also send it to the office of Sayyid Sistani and Sayyid Khamanei but have yet to receive an answer from either of them. 1) What are the laws of regarding the umbilical cord and the placenta? I believe according to our brothers (Ahlul Sunna) it must be buried and not be frozen or anything of this type. What is our opinions, means the school of Ahlulbayt (as)? Please if possible cite your sources as well as this is for a brother and his wife. 2) Sayyid Sistani says (A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West): So th

Salaamu Aleykum Aurora. Are you Somali? It is safe then to assume you are Shia as well? And to answer your question ... My relatives and family members are the same. At first, it was very hard being a Shia in a Somali family. Kafir, Munafiq, do these terms sound familiar? I was all of them according to my folks (just to give you an idea of things were at the time. I was even told to leave my own house.). But I have to admit though, things are a much better Alhamdulillah. Read my "revertion" story on SC to get more details. Or you can pm me if you would like. But yea, it was not hard. The one

And what happens when the claimed "love" is not supported by one's deeds or actions? Clearly (once again, I have to quote the verse), Allah states in the Holy and Noble Quran in Chapter 3, verse 31, that love must be proved through actions, through following the Prophet, otherwise, it is useless and fruitless. And again, some Sunnis actually do claim to love Ahlulbayt (as); some are sincere in their love and some just claim it. As for those (Sunnis) who are sincere in their love for Aali Muhammad (saw), I think they are just confused and need guidance. Like many Christian who are devoted to

(salam) Bro/sis eThErEaL, well said. IN fact, while on this topic, Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (as) said of the Shias: Imam Muhammad Baqir [a] told Jabir: "Is it enough for a person to (merely) embellish (oneself) as a Shi'ah (follower) by professing love of us, Ahlul-Bayt? Nay! By Allah, a person is not our follower except the one who fears Allah and obeys Him. O' Jabir! Our followers are not recognized save by humility; submission; honesty; praising Allah abundantly; fasting and prayers; filial devotion; attending to the poor, needy, debtors, and orphans who live near him; saying the truth; reci

(salam) Once again, thank you all for your replies and opinions. Which, by the way, me hearing your opinions was not meant to have any influence or impact on my decision regarding this marriage. I knew very well and still decided to marry her. And as you said sister, it is very hard to get married to a Shia when first, there are no Shias around in the relatives. All the Shias in the family are males. And secondly, the Shias I know are very racist, no need to mention their races (they know who they are). And the reason I keep talking bout the Shias is not because I careless about other sects i

Interesting replies. Well pious, one who fears Allah, obeys Allah and Rasul, prays, fasts, observes Hijab (both sexes), is well mannered, educated and knowledgeable. Of course the Sunnis do not believe in the teachings of Ahlulbayt (as), but some of them do love them.

(salam) Okay brothers and sisters. As I have already told you, I am getting married Alhamdulillah. But during the last few weeks, there were quite few shias friends that were not happy with my decision to marry this sister. Why? Because she is not a Shia. Well, one she is Somali, just like me, and she is also my cousin. She is very religious and practicing. She is few chapters away from completing the memorizing of the Quran, she is almost a hafidh of Quran. She has a wonderful personality and is Hijabi. So all these and much more attracted me to her and plus, I was trying to earn my mother's

(salam) Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and prayers. Actually, about the wedding date, it will be during the week of the Prophet's (saww) Milad and Imam Jaffar's (as). Insha Allah, we pray that Allah blesses with pious and righteous children and a long spiritual and loving life. :) wasalaam fi amanillah

Salaamu Aleykum brothers and sisters in Islam. I just wanted to let all of you know (especially those who know me) that I am, by the grace and mercy of Allah, getting married and ask you kindly to please pray for me that all goes well and Allah keeps the Satan away from us Insha Allah. Thank you and may Allah bless you all with a pure and righteous spouse Insha Allah. :) wasalaam fi amanillah

Bismillah Inna lillah wa inna ialyhi rajicuun. May Allah bless her with the noble presence of Lady Fatima (sa) in the grave, in the land of Barzakh and in Qiyama for her devotion, love and dedication to serving Aal Muhammad. Amiin Ya RAbb. May Allah give her family much patience and forbearance Insha Allah. waslaaam fi amanillah

Actually, no to be honest. I was so upset that I could not even think straight. But oh well...next year will come with a whole lotta changes. peace

Salaam Aleykum akhi. I am here bro. I was just busy with life you know. But as for the Skiles firing, to be honest with you, I was disappointed as you know I was a fan of him and liked his coaching method. However, maybe it was for the best. He did not let our big guys play and prove what they can do. My boy Noah is playing well as of now since he is getting heavy minutes. Anyway, it has been a disappointing season thus far; hopefully we can turn it around before the All-Star Break in NE. Anyway, about the Pistons winning. lol please dont like you know who;) lol We both know well they aint
