Hameedeh

@Ashvazdanghe Salam, Brother. I tried to access jameeh.com but that does not work for me. Is jameeh.com related to jameehmodarresin.org website? We all want to know if any new people have been recommended for marja position by the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom.

Salamun alaykum. Eid Mubarak on this greatest of Eids, Eid al Ghadeer.

Salam. Must have been a hard question for lay people to answer during all these years. Glad you were just curious and not serious.

Salam. On May 13, 2026 at 12:17 pm CDT, I received a Breaking News Alert from CBS NEWS. Of course I never saw it until May 25. I'm sorry, but I have a lot of junk mail in my inbox. LOL The BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Netanyahu made secret visit to UAE to meet with country's president Mohammed bin Zayed After clicking on the link and reading the breaking news, it was saying that Netanyahu made a secret trip to UAE in March. In March? Why reveal this now? Of course UAE said it was not a secret, they only have meetings with transparency. Not sure what is going on. Apparently a lot of deception.

Salam, Sister. Thank you. For those who don't have Instagram, if we could have direct links to the different websites for Hajj, Umrah and Ziyarah, that would be awesome.

Salam. Some fathers are rough and not the type to hug and kiss their children. It's possible that his own father treated him roughly or was never around for him. You are right to question your relationship with your father and how to make it better. Can you remember when was the last time he hugged you? Or more to the point, when was the last time that you went up and hugged him? If you gave him a hug now, would he appreciate you and change his ways for the good? Making duas for you and your family members.

Salam. Perhaps when you are feeling angry in a dream, you are expressing the pain that you sometimes feel, that when he died he abandoned you.

Salam. When searching online to buy a shampoo that I want, I could not find it because the company discontinued it. I was recommended to buy another shampoo. After reading the ingredients of that shampoo, I found it contained "cholesterol" and so it definitely contained an animal product. The company just does not want to write the animal product on the label. Be careful. Read the label because sometimes a company will change the ingredients.

@notme Salam, Sister. Try to call someone at your university (email won't get answered soon enough). They would be proud to know what you have been doing since you were graduated and might be able to help you. InShaAllah

@notme Salam, Sister. When the children write something, please don't use their last name. Even if a parent or guardian gave permission to share the content in your book, they might change their mind later due to fear of privacy. If Sam N. wrote something, it would still be semi-anonymous.

Salam, Sister. What a wonderful project for your students. Making duas for you.

Official Statement from the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America concerning the Tragic Hate Crime at the Islamic Center of San Diego and the Systemic Rise of Islamophobia In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful "... and, persecution is graver than killing." The Holy Quran [2:217] At the beginning of this month, Dhul-Hijjah—the sacred Islamic month in which the sanctity of human life is emphasized—our community in the United States was unfortunately shocked to hear the devastating news of an armed attack on innocent people at a place that is both a mosque and a school. This occurred where God is worshipped, and in an environment of learning, self-improvement, and community service, which leaves no doubt about the motives behind this barbaric crime. Sadly, it once again underscores the systematic and hateful brainwashing that has contaminated so many people in the West. The Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America expresses its deepest sorrow, grief, and outrage over this horrifying tragedy that took place at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families of the innocent Muslim victims, among whom were a heroic security guard and two dedicated school staff members, whose lives were brutally cut short in this senseless act of violence. We pray that Allah grants them peace in the hereafter, bestows patience upon their families, and heals the deeply traumatized San Diego community. While we mourn, we must simultaneously confront the bitter reality that this attack did not occur in a vacuum. National civil rights organizations and social policy institutes report that Islamophobia and anti-Muslim discrimination have risen sharply, and now represent a systemic trend across the West. Furthermore, the prevailing information confirms that Muslims remain the group most likely to face religious discrimination on the social level, particularly when interacting with financial institutions and seeking employment. As a result of these shifts, recent data highlight that while individual anti-Muslim hate incidents remain a serious issue, a defining feature of the current landscape is institutional and structural discrimination, frequently intertwined with dangerous political rhetoric directed against Muslims and crackdowns on specific forms of speech. The alleged perpetrators of this heinous act were teenagers. Thus, we must ask: Who fostered this toxic hate into their minds, and for what purpose? Who nurtured the vitriol that led them to attack innocent people, solely because they were Muslim, and defile a house of worship with bloodshed? The Council does not merely condemn this attack; we call upon all people of conscience, faith leaders, and civil society to raise their voices. We must loudly demand answers to the questions of whom this hateful speech serves and how it can be allowed to be used as an instrument in our society. How can we realistically project an image of peace, democracy, and safety in this country and in the world when citizens are gunned down while preparing for prayer? The Council strongly urges law enforcement, lawmakers, and government authorities to think deeply about this crisis and take prudent steps to curb all forms of hateful speech, work more diligently to build bridges of tolerance and discourse, eliminate systemic prejudice and pockets of racism and hate, and halt the rhetoric that continuously becomes the impetus for killing and attacking the innocent. Dear community members, It is not the first time we have faced such profound difficulties. This trial is part of an ongoing struggle that many of us face in our communities, and unfortunately, it continues to be fomented by certain extreme factors. Yet, history has shown your resilience. Stand firm in your faith, and act with prudence by being vigilant and safe. Take the necessary precautions, and as much as possible, participate in the upcoming religious congregations, especially Eid al-Adha prayers and the upcoming celebrations. Let us respond to hate with unity, resilience, and greater devotion to Allah. With your conscience, your high character and commitment to knowledge, your deep understanding, and your utilization of the right strategic means and tools—coupled with unwavering Tawakkul (reliance) on Allah—we will pass through these dark difficulties. Take comfort and strength in the divine promise of the Almighty: "... the outcome will be in favor of the Godwary."

If you say Yes, you will be legally married. Nobody would know that you were against the marriage.

Salam. Ask your mother if she was forced to marry your father. If she says yes, then you know it's a tribal thing. If she says no, tell her Alhamdulillah. Tell her you would rather leave and go to another country than marry your cousin. If she is upset by your leaving, perhaps she will help you to stop the wedding. (In Islam there is nothing bad about marrying a cousin, unless there is a serious danger of medical problems passing on to their children.)
