Why is the vaccine the only way out? We have an immune system to fight off various diseases. Majority of vaccines are dangerous and contain all sorts of toxic ingredients in them. Sars-Cov2 has never been properly purified and isolated, so what are you vaccinating against exactly? The so-called 'covid' deaths are all massively inflated to justify the illegal lockdowns. It's like everyone only dies of covid anymore and nothing else!

False - Sayyid al Khoei, amongst others was deeply opposed to Wilayatul Faqih which was nothing but an Agenda by Khomeini in a thirst for his own political gain and power. This is the only reason why some blind shias  and Maulanas who graduate from Qum, try to justify 'politics' in order to promote the IRI version of Islam

Salaam brother, Tell your friend of the following:
According Imam al-'askari (as): Then He azwj Said And He Taught Adam the names, all of them - The names of the Prophets  of Allah azwj and the names of Muhammad (saww) and Ali (عليه السلام) and (Syeda) Fatima (عليه السلام) and Al-Hassan (عليه السلام) and Al-Husayn (عليه السلام) and the goodly from their Progeny (عليه السلام) and good Shias of their and their hardened enemies then presented them - presented Muhammad (saww) and Ali (عليه السلام) and the Imams (عليه السلام) to the Angels – i.e., their resemblances, and they were ‘Anwar’ Lights in the shadows.

And He Said: Tell Me their names if you were truthful – The entirety of you are glorifying and extolling the Holiness and you are neglecting over here the suitability of the ones after you – i.e., so just as you are not recognising the unseen – the one who in your midst (Iblees) – it is appropriate that you will not be recognising the unseen which has yet to come into existence, just as you are not recognising the names of the personalities (عليه السلام) you are seeing.

The Angels said: They said: Glory be to You! There is no knowledge for us except what You Taught us; surely You are the Knowing, the Wise [2:32] - The Knower of everything, the Wise, the Correct in all His Deeds.

Allah the Mighty and Majestic (Said): O Adam! Inform them of their names - The names of the Prophets (عليه السلام) and the Imams (عليه السلام) . Then when he had informed them of their names, they recognised them and the Pact was Taken upon them, and the Covenant, with the believing in them and of preferring them
Allah the Exalted Said during that Did I not Say to you that I Know unseen of the skies and the earth – their secrets - and I know what you are manifesting and what you have been concealing? – and what Iblees believed in from the refusal upon Adam if I were to Command with obeying him, and his destroying him if he was to (allowed to) overcome upon him, and from your beliefs that there would be no one coming after you all except and you would be superior than him. But, Muhammad (saww) and his goodly Progeny are superior than you all, those whom Adam informed you with their names. (Tafseer Imam Hassan Al Askari (عليه السلام). – S 100)

I have read Daftary's book. Yes, he does say that according to him & sources available to him that Ismail was the Imam after Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) but he provides no actual textual evidences to back up his point. When it comes to Nass (Divine appointment by Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى)) then we need clear ahadith with Full sanad that explicitly states that so & so was appointed as an Imam. Unfortunately, we do not find any ahadith in regards to the succession whatsoever. On the contrary, there are tons of narrations all narrated from the close companions of Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) where it is clear that Imam Musa al-Kadhim (عليه السلام) was the rightful successor.

I heard that kids who are raised by stay-at-home mothers develop better than ones who work. I know that life is expensive and some women really are forced to work. Most if not all would prefer to stay at home but that's not an option for a lot of mothers. It seems like in your case it is a (difficult) option. Yes life will be trickier, but think of it this way: Your wife's salary is a cheap price to pay for better developed kids.
Just imagine you are taking that money and spending it on better kids. I don't know how to put it, but it seems like the people I know who had stay-at-home moms have more of a...soul. Of course it's not the case for everyone I know, but it's not a risk I'm willing to take. 

wa alaykum al salam brother
In the following link is a compilation on the merits of Umrah in Arabic:
http://www.alkhoeihaj.us/subject.php?id=32
In the following link you can find narrations regarding the method and various rewards of the ziyarah of the Prophet (saww) and the Imams of Baqi (عليه السلام), and the ziyarah of other righteous servants of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) buried in Medina, such as Hamza (رضي الله عنه)
https://www.thaqalayn.net/book/24
Skim through it and you will find what you need, insha Allah.
May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) reward you.

Salaam 'alaykum
I'd like to know what our hadeeth literature states about the significance and benefits of going on Umrah? Of course, going for Hajj is Waajib and there are many ahadeeth on that, going for the ziyarat of Imam Husayn (عليه السلام) has been emphasised alot and many benefits of going for his ziyarat have been outlined.
But what about going for Umrah and by extension, performing ziyarah of the Prophet (saws) and Imams (عليه السلام) in Al-Baqi?
 

Long story short, despite all mental gymnastics by the opponents,as brothers @Cool and @Haji 2003 have demonstrated, from the verse related to Yaqub (عليه السلام) 's mourning for Yusuf (عليه السلام) alone it is plainly visible that matam is allowed. We don't even need secondary evidence. Any 'hadith' contradicting this clear verse is to be cast against the wall.

You have a link further up rebutting all the anti-azadari propaganda. Besides, everything we do need not be validated by the opponents. 

Not very big on Tatbir myself, but I am not going to call my mu'min brothers who do tatbir 'barbarians' like the nawasib do, in these days of mourning. I take strong objection to this distasteful verbiage. There are highest ranking maraja who have allowed the act and will be more than welcome to respond to all your questions. Statistically the number of marjas who allow tatbir is more than those who forbid it. Sheikh Khurasani (ha) in Qum, Sayyid Modarresi (ha) in Karbala, and Sheikh Bashir Najafi (ha) in Najaf are quite accessible. Please go tell them that they are barbarians promoting barbarism. They will happily respond to you.
Also quite rich that you are asking for textual evidence when you don't even know how to define sunnah, are manifestly ignorant of the basics of usul al-fiqh, such as the asl of bara'ah and the asl of 'la-darar wa la-dirar fi Islam', and are nowhere near the level of istidlal yourself.
Never thought I'll have to defend tatbir but your comment is divisive, needlessly provocative, and in extremely poor taste.
Please halt this malafide and divisive nonsense in these days at least.

Tatbir is a wrongful and fabricated tradition: Imam Khamenei
https://english.khamenei.ir/news/4209/Tatbir-is-a-wrongful-and-fabricated-tradition-Imam-Khamenei
No Imam ever sanctioned the practice of tatbeer. Although we have ahadeeth showing that some of the Imams may have hit themselves during moments of intense emotion, there is no proof whatsoever that there was any organised tatbeer. By that, I mean a group of people in a gathering (rhythmically) hitting themselves as a tradition/practice. No hadeeth even implies that an Imam participated in such a practice.
Allow me to criticise ideas, not people. 
This is ridiculous. Since when do singular, unique incidents of intense, uncontrollable emotion become sunnah? The massive hole in the argument is screaming at us: how does the Prophet hitting himself in a single moment of grief sanction mass gatherings and ma2tam as it is practiced today (which, like it or not, does make us look like barbarians)?
Perhaps if we were living 1500 years ago when worshipping rocks and burying infants was normal, this practice would not be seen negatively and we could practice it. (This is, mind you, assuming that the Ahlulbayt did in fact perform organised tatbeer). But in 2023, publicly beating your face and screaming in groups doesn't exactly make our religion look attractive. 
I defy anyone to bring a hadeeth in which an Imam or the Prophet performed organised tatbeer. Otherwise, don't expect me to "let people mourn in their own ways" while simultaneously creating for us the disgusting image of barbaric, backward, twisted traditions.

The ten days are universal amoung Shia as a time when you should avoid anything that is remotely similar to a celebration and you should spend this time in mourning for Imams Hussein((عليه السلام)) and the Ahl Al Bayt((عليه السلام)) who were slaughtered by the most evil people in Karbala. After the ten days, there are hadith that say they didn't resume normal activities until after Arbaeen. At the same time, this does not go to the level of wajibat, and if you have something that is critical for you to do, then you have to use your own judgement. It is highly discouraged to hold, plan or attend any celebrations (like a wedding, birthday, etc) during the month of Muharram and some say until the Arbaeen. Again if there is an urgent need and your intention is not to disrespect the mourning period, then you need to use your own good judgement. 

Salaam all,
So my wife has been working full time since marriage for the last 3 years and even after having our first child. For 2 days in the week (Mon & Tues) my nan usually comes & looks after our daughter whilst my wife is at the office. Wed - Friday she works from home so there's flexibility around that, but we haven't put our daughter in nursery or anything just yet.
My wife has been thinking for some time to reduce her hours & go part-time in order to give more attention to our daughter which of course is important. She was thinking to perhaps take some gap from work or go part-time eventually (not 100% confirmed yet). My nan does come every week to look after our daughter, but she's also been having aches & pains, so not sure how long we can rely on her for.
I know that my wife sometimes struggles to work especially from home on Wed - Fri given that our daughter is at home and not going to any nursery.
In a recent seminar at the mosque which my wife attended, the speaker was talking about child up-bringing and said not to send children to nursery so young and to wait till they are like 3 years+ as they need the first years of their life with the Mother (Which again I totally get).
But with my wife going part time, it of course will mean a reduction in salary & our overall combined household income. 
Is this something I should worry about or focus on alot? Or just leave it to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى)?  Of course, the upbringing of children is very important especially in western societies where they are being fed all sorts of nonsense in schools etc.
I don't want to force my wife into working but a reduction in salary will mean we will have to budget a bit more accurately & spend carefully.
 
What are your guy's thoughts? Should I encourage her to continue working with the current setup (where my nan comes and looks after our child for 2 days) or leave it to her to decide what is best?

Debating on these issues in reality is a waste of time because it doesn't get anyone anywhere. Both parties will still be inclined towards their views no matter what. If a person was sincere enough, he/she would seek for the truth themselves.

It's good to have all these things, but there's alot we don't have control over. Remember, that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is the ultimate provider. Through our duas and supplications, it will help to ward off alot of calamities and afflictions InshaAllah. Unfortunately many people do (naturally) get alot of panic over things that haven't occurred yet. Yes some of these things may happen and it's a good idea to prepare where we can, but the duas and supplications is the only real shelter. InshaAllah everything will be ok by the power of Allah mighty and majestic.

Many of the Hawza students are infact barely taught about Basic of shia hadith. So many of the topics that are taught in Hawza infact have nothing to do with Quran & Sunnah whatsoever. He's certainly amongst the very learned in the Shia world today and much more than many of of the individuals of the Hawza.
When you say unnecessarily long,  what do you mean exactly? Surely such detailed explanations are required! Otherwise then you'd say he barely answers in any detail.
He has even infact challenged all the scholars of the Sunni world to a debate in a series of multiple sessions yet no one has had the courage to step up because they know that they'd not stand a chance. 
Far more persuasively?  My friend you only have to look at those who get in touch with Allahyari and call him during his show to see how persuasive he actually is. Not to mention the amount of people who have converted to Tashayyu because of his lectures. Just refer to the many comments that people make in his videos..
And that's not even discrediting the work of the ones you mentioned either. They are also doing a great in terms of defending the Shia faith.

Nothing but pure emotional slander! Well there is no doubt that Sh Allahyari has proven without the deviation of Wilayat ul faqih (Which has no basis in Quran and Sunnah) in his numerous detailed videos in various languages; most recently in English and Urdu. Actually he has a very big following, his videos have been getting alot of views and he needs to be given more of a platform. There is no doubt about the wealth of knowledge he has and the Shia community should really utilise him.
