I sometimes wonder if this is getting too much... I mean bringing Sunni sources everytime someone asks a question. Do not get me wrong, this is all well and good when presenting them with a proof and debating them, but the one asking this question is a Shi'ite. And let's be honest, do we take our 'aqidah from others? No, we don't.. So it doesn't really matter in this case whether or not they mention it, we aren't in need of that.

If I knew the art of lucid dreaming I would use it to go visit Karbala and other shrines :'(... Those who are into this, tell me if you're able to do that?

(salam) The names of his daughters (as) are named Fatimah. Ruqayyah, Sukaynah etc are nicknames.

(salam) Khums is al-Zahra's (sa) right over all her Shi3a. First of all, sadaqah is 7aram on them and secondly, where are you possibly going to find them an appropriate gift?

(salam) I have heard that the reason the Shi'ites wear black is a sign of opposition and prostest against the injustice done upon Ahlul Bayt (as).

Lol dishy. I guess there isn't a problem continuing to do that. Just gotta teach myself to be satisfied with what I have :blush: At the moment I don't think so.

Yeah. I actually have one, it would just be nice to have a matching black dishdasha (the darkest ones I have are either brown or grey).

(bismillah) (salam) I am looking for a black dishdasha and that green piece of clothing usually worn on ones shoulders (hope you know what I'm reffering to). Any help getting this would be very appreciated. With salams and du3a.

(wasalam) Shortly, it is for those who do not see the path of Ahlul Bayt (as) as enough. Yes to the first. 3irfan is from Ahlul Bayt (as) and their Shi3a only. I wouldn't call tasawwuf a 'Sunni phenomenon' seeing as how the origins of this as an organized movement cannot really be called Muslim. I see it as an Abbaside phenomenon, for they are the ones who truly aided and funded this movement in Khurasan. They took the zuhd of Ahlul Bayt (as) and particularly Imam al-Ridha (as) and turned it to tasawwuf. You will notice for yourself that before the Abbaside caliphs there was no tasawwuf. That having been said about it's origins (which of course has a longer history, but this is important I think), we cannot deny that the fact remains that by the ijma3 of Shi3i 3ulama' Sufism is forbidden and a deviation. Actually I once joined them and was a "Sufi" but I faced a dilemma while being one. I just simply could not practise Sufism alongside Shi'ism and I had to make a choice. Praise to Allah who guides who He wants.
