      Honey or hot tea infused with honey. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) grant you shifa.

      Thank you dear brothers and sisters.  Honey is amazing.  Sub7an'Allah.  Sadly, no one told me garlic, I wanted to see if there was a response from our Lebanese brethren.  lol

      There is garlic tea, you could also infuse honey into it and get the benefit of both garlic and honey.

  3. Bismehe Ta3ala, Assalam Alikum Jouma Mubaraka. If you go to the bakery you order laham bi ajeen. I actually went to the butcher and gave him tomatoes, onions and green pepper and he mixed it up for me. Once he handed the half kilo of laham bi ajeen, I took it to the baker and he made it for me. It was Friday and my children love these meat pies. They drink it with Arayan, it's a yougurt drink.
  4. I still don't see a chatroom. Otherwise I would have dropped by and said salam and Eid Mubarak.
  5. Bismehe Ta3ala, Assalam Alikum. What have the scholars ruled about the Arab Barbies' that are exploding everywhere. The tiny pointed nose, the duck lips, and puffy cheeks, and bombastic BBLs. Has anyone read any of the fatwas that are available? There are also Arab Kens' who are changing their facial features as well and look gay. M3 Salamah, FE AMIN ALLAH
  6. The problem is da brothas can no longer tell the difference between AI pics and real people pics. The pictures are digitally touched, airbrushed, and filtered. Don't trust what you are seeing online.
  7. Bismehe Ta3ala Wa Alikum Assalam Wa Rahamah Thank you brother for asking about me and my family. As you know in war, people are displaced or become refugees to other countries. You have the embassies who take back their citizens. We just took a few bags and left our home, not knowing we weren't coming back. I could have packed up our luggages and took my children and left Lebanon. IMO, that's the easy way. I left my home and neighborhood and stayed in my country. The imperialists want the Shias to leave Lebanon, so they can steal the oil that they discovered a decade ago and have control in the region. They want us like cows and sheep, to obey and use us for material gain and not to resist. I know I'm speaking to the choir here, people know, but don't have the resources or power to do anything. What's important is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is on our side. I do wish people become more educated. I see this new generation with glossy eyes and pale skin addicted to their phones. I see how people are reacting to the bombings that take place like it's no big deal and grab their phones to capture the incident and quickly spread it around. Our children are not attending school and you can see the decline in education and reading. That's just a few things on my mind. I have to leave it at that, I need to make breakfast. The days are short, the nights are long now during the fall. God hasten the appearance of Imam Mahdi and bring relief to our brothers and sisters in Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, and all the mustad3feen. M3 Salamah, FE AMIN ALLAH
  8. Bismehe Ta3ala, Assalam Alikum Brother Diaz, Insh'Allah you are well and in good health. Thank you for checking on me. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) show me in my life time the wrath He will bestow on the Zionists. God's curse on them. The past 10 days has been the worst days of my life. I saw blood on the streets, our brothers eyeballs, face and fingers blown apart. I witnessed and heard the airstrikes that took place to my neighborhood. And the straw that broke the camel's back was the tons of bombs that destroyed and killed Sayyid HN. inna lil Allah wa inna elahi raj3oun. I was driving around downtown Beirut and saw the people on the streets with blankets and pillows. What was our crime for all this carnage? Just because we don't want to be a slave society and listen to the orders and demands of the imperialists. But this isn't just 10% of what our brothers and sisters in Gaza faced. Atleast we are capable of moving from our area and not a closed prison. Atleast we still have food on the table, Alhamd'Allah. We have clean water and still can shower. God is testing our patience and endurance. All these years Sayyid raised us and taught us about our religion, explained to us the lessons of Karbala, talked to us like we are his sons and daughters. God keep us steadfast, and Insh'Allah we will overcome whatever is headed our way. Please brothers and sisters keep the Palestinians, Yemenis, and Lebanese in your duas during these difficult times. This goes to show, protests and demonstrations have zero benefit. It's only purpose is to gather intelligence and used against you. I know I risk a lot for just using my speech on this platform, but I see how blood was spilled, and the men disabled, and peoples home destroyed, and I'm no better than the people who have sacrificed so much. There is a price to pay when it comes for freedom and practicing our faith. Imam Ali (عليه السلام). if you love me, be prepared for the trials and tribulations. God grant us his intercession in the Hereafter, and Insh'Allah to visit him in this dunya. Al fatiha to the shuhadah. M3 Salamah, FE AMIN ALLAH
  9. NEWS News Police try to unravel mysterious death of Huntington Beach woman on Arizona hiking trail 'She was obedient to a fault. … She believed whatever God wanted was going to happen,' said the brother of Zaynab Joseph, who fell 140 feet to her death Zaynab Joseph fell 140 feet to her death from an Arizona hiking trail. Police are trying to unravel the mystery of what she and her baby were doing on such a difficult trail and how she went over the ledge. (Photos courtesy of Hassanayn Joseph) By TONY SAAVEDRA | tsaavedra@scng.com | Orange County Register UPDATED: July 26, 2024 at 11:17 a.m. Forty-year-old Zaynab Joseph had little experience hiking. But the Huntington Beach mother of three tried to tackle one of the most difficult, rugged trails in Arizona with her husband and a 9-month-old baby. Joseph didn’t survive her trek up Bear Mountain in Coconino National Forest near Sedona, a trip her family says was foisted on her by husband Syed Danish Zaidi. Now Yavapai County sheriff’s investigators are trying to figure out how Joseph fell to her death April 15 from a 140-foot cliff. Her husband isn’t talking. And the baby can’t. “When we went to speak to (Zaidi), he decided he wanted a lawyer,” said Kristin Greene, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department. Zaidi did not respond to multiple messages left on his phone and with his family. Police have interviewed more than 30 people, including Joseph’s relatives and some hikers who came to her aid. Yet questions remain: What was a neophyte doing on a trail described by the U.S. Forest Service as mostly unshaded, difficult and steep in places; and how did she go over the edge? The 2.3-mile trail ascends more than 1,800 feet in elevation, over tilted rock, and takes 4 1/2 hours to cover round trip. “It’s an extremely, extremely difficult hiking trail. Only experts do it, but (the couple) probably didn’t realize that,” Greene said. Or maybe that is exactly what Zaidi was looking for, says Zaynab’s brother, Hassanayn Joseph. A general law attorney in Toledo, Ohio, Joseph is suspicious about his sister’s death because she told him she planned to divorce Zaidi. Joseph, 38, said Zaidi works as a stress engineer for a Southern California aerospace company and owns property in Huntington Beach and Palmdale. The Yavapai County medical examiner has concluded Zaynab Joseph died from multiple blunt force injuries, but did not determine the manner of death — that is, whether it was an accident, homicide or suicide. When questioned by Zaynab’s family, Zaidi purportedly said the couple stopped on the trail to take her picture. Holding the baby with his left arm, Zaidi was using his right hand to take the photo, but he dropped the phone and Zaynab tried to grab it. She and the phone went over the edge, he told them. Investigators have retrieved the phone and are processing the contents, Greene said. Hassanayn Joseph has problems with Zaidi’s story. The couple was vacationing with Zaidi’s mother at a Sedona rental home when the husband decided to take Zaynab on a hike, according to Joseph. A hiker who climbed down the cliff to try to rescue Zaynab said the couple seemed out of place. “They didn’t look to me like hikers. Being there with a baby made no sense to me or anyone around me,” said the 60-year-old hiker from North Carolina, who has been interviewed by authorities and asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. The anonymous hiker and his wife were about one-fourth of the way up the trail when they heard a woman screaming behind them. Seconds later, they heard a man wailing, saying what sounded like “help her.” The hiker and his wife doubled back and found Zaidi and the baby behind a bush. The hiker said he tried, to no avail, to get information from Zaidi, who continued to wail incoherently but shed no tears. The wife of another witness took care of the baby. “We asked, ‘Did somebody fall?’ and he wasn’t very helpful giving us information,” said the hiker. A view from the bottom of the cliff where Zaynab Joseph fell on Bear Mountain in Arizona. (Courtesy of a hiker who wished to remain anonymous) He peered over the ledge and finally caught sight of Zaynab, on a crumbling rock, her clothes snagged on a bush. “After I realized there was a person down there, I needed to go down and help,” the hiker said. Zaynab was not breathing when the hiker reached her. He added that Zaidi didn’t climb down with him, but, according to other hikers, laid on the dirt and fell asleep. It took about 45 minutes for emergency crews to arrive, he said. “If I were in his shoes, I would have gone down as soon as the baby was safe,” the hiker said. Hassanayn Joseph said he wasn’t surprised by Zaidi’s response. Zaynab, a former science teacher at an Islamic high school in Garden Grove, had a troubled marriage, Joseph alleged. Heavily redacted Huntington Beach Police Department records indicate officers were called to the couple’s home on Harvard Circle three times from Jan. 18 to Feb. 5, for a family disturbance, a “phone call” and to keep the peace. The disturbance call was near midnight. “He constantly told her she was a bad mother, (he was) very controlling in every way, shape and form,” Joseph said. “She was obedient to a fault. … She believed whatever God wanted was going to happen.” But Zaynab recently reached her limit. Although she stayed in the same home with her husband, Zaynab wrote in a journal that she had separated from Zaidi on March 1, according to an entry reviewed by the Southern California News Group. She also complained in the journal that Zaidi had disconnected her phone multiple times. Hassanayn Joseph said his sister was in the process of retaining divorce attorney Brett Thorsteinson when she died. Reached by phone, Thorsteinson declined to comment. According to Joseph, Zaynab confided her plans to Zaidi’s sister. In January, a deleted Reddit post allegedly written by Zaidi and retrieved by Joseph asked: if the spouse signs a quitclaim deed during marriage, can she still keep the house at the time of divorce? Joseph has turned the Reddit post over to authorities. Joseph had been suspicious of Zaidi since the day the couple married in September 2013, just months after meeting. He said Zaidi’s student visa was about to expire and marrying Zaynab, a third-generation American, would help him stay in the United States. Zaidi is from Pakistan, said Joseph, who boycotted the wedding. Zaidi responded in turn when he and the children did not attend Zaynab’s funeral in Ohio, Joseph said. “(It was) so we couldn’t get access to the kids,” Joseph said. “He wasn’t a good guy. He controlled everything about her under the guise of religion.” Originally Published: July 25, 2024 at 9:24 a.m. https://www.ocregister.com/2024/07/25/police-try-to-unravel-mysterious-death-of-huntington-beach-woman-on-arizona-hiking-trail/
  10. Assalam Alikum dear sister I don't know if you were able to read the five page statement. I wanted to post it directly on SC, but the file was too big. If one of the mods can post the images from instaharam to shiachat, it would be greatly appreciated. Zaynab's brother was stating how he was able to recover some deleted posts after she passed away. @notme It happens quite frequently. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/edinburgh-crown-office-seat-high-court-leeds-b1072815.html Another muslim couple
  11. The family has spoken about the incident. I tried to screenshot the images but it is too big to upload. Zaynab Joseph died under extremely suspicious circumstances while hiking in Sedona. She was with her husband who she was about to divorce, and only went with him on the trail because she didn’t trust him alone with her baby. When this story came out, everyone was questioning “well what was she doing on the hardest trail in Sedona with a 9 month old”. The victim blaming was wild. I hope you are all eating your words. I hope you see how abusive husbands set women up like this. https://www.instagram.com/hijabiluscious/p/C8BnG62uTcI/?img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/hijabiluscious/p/C8BnG62uTcI/?img_index=2

  14. Bismehe Ta3ala Assalam Alikum The Sheriff's Office is conducting an investigation. Reading the comments under the post, people are suspicious. Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a documentary on Netflix? Yavapai County Sheriff's Office 5 d · WOMAN FALLS TO HER DEATH OFF BEAR MOUNTAIN IN SEDONA On Monday morning YCSO responded to a report that a woman had fallen down a 140-foot cliff on Bear Mountain while hiking with her husband and 1 year old child.

  15. Bismehe Ta3ala, Condolences to the Imam of our Time, to the death of Sister Zaynab Joseph. Her tragic death impacted many communities in America and abroad. Please recite fatiha on her departed soul. This sister is Lebanese American. She leaves behind three children. The article indicates incorrectly Farwa Zaidi as her sister, she is in fact her sister in law. The husband's name is Danesh Zaidi. The baby is not a year old, but 9 months. The death is being investigated. From People magazine Zaynab Joseph, 40, was staying at an Airbnb in Sedona, Arizona, with her family at the time of the incident, said the YCSO A hiker went down to an embankment and found the seriously injured woman, authorities said “No words can describe the pain our families are going through,” Farwa Zaidi, who identified herself as Joseph’s sister, wrote on Facebook A 40-year-old mother from California died after she fell off a cliff in Arizona while hiking with her husband and toddler on April 15, said authorities. In a news release, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) said it responded to a report that a woman, identified as Zaynab Joseph, had fallen down a 140-foot cliff on Bear Mountain in Sedona. The department said that a group of hikers heard yelling and learned the woman was seriously injured. “While members of the group called 911, one hiked down the embankment and found that the victim was still breathing, but unfortunately, she passed away shortly after,” the YCSO said in its statement. Authorities said that Sedona Fire arrived on the scene first and confirmed Joseph’s death while YCSO responded with its search and rescue teams. Joseph’s body was recovered as her husband and 1-year-old child were airlifted off the mountain. At the time, the family was renting an Airbnb in Sedona, authorities added. The YCSO said it has spoken with hikers coming off the mountain and that an investigation of the incident is ongoing. According to her LinkedIn profile, as reported by USA Today, Joseph was a part-time teacher at Orange Crescent School in Garden Grove, Calif., and graduated from the University of Toledo. In an April 16 Facebook message, Farwa Zaidi, who identified herself as Joseph’s sister, wrote: “She had a heart of gold and was very dear to all of us. No words can describe the pain our families are going through, especially her husband and three young children.” The following day, Zaidi posted another Facebook message about Joseph that read: “My Zaynab Joseph, I will remember you for the rest of my life! I lost my sister, my friend, my mentor, my kids 'mommi' ❤️ and my confidant. You will live in my heart, forever and ever, always! I love you so so much.” In that same Facebook post, Zaidi shared a message in which Joseph posted a work by the 13th-century poet Rumi on her Facebook account on Nov. 1, 2021. The post began with the poet's words: “On the day I die, when I'm being carried toward the grave, don't weep.”
