Sallam Alaikum dear brothers and sisters, previous and new. I have not used the same name as my previous Shiachat Username, for privacy reasons. I miss the times that I spent here, and we built a family digitally. Sometimes I come back on here to reminisce the good memories I made. @laithAlIRAQI @Sirius_Bright @Islandsandmirrors @notme It has been a long time, I want to leave behind something good, perhaps I didn't leave by the best examples. I hope this advice benefits if but one person. 1. Life will have it's ups and downs, you may feel shaken by its trials at times, perhaps even bolted down to the ground by it. Believe me, I would know better than anyone. But with time, when you come to realise that gaining intellect alone will not untether the ropes around your ankles unless you pair it with yaqeen, you will be going in circles. Yaqeen is the DNA to your faith, especially in terms of your mental health. My brother in law said it perfectly, "Yaqeen is certainty that when something happens to you, you don't care". It is as such indeed. I never knew it at the time, but Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) displayed it to me in the best way possible. You may expand on this as you like. @Khadim uz Zahra @Ashvazdanghe @AStruggler @ali_fatheroforphans 2. Letting friends go that stunt your growth is crucial for your well-being, no matter how good you or they are. You could both be good people separately, but together it is a cycle of toxicity where one brings out the worst in the other. You may feel grief, but Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will reward you immensely when you maintain a goodness in you, that you pray for them the best even after years of not encountering them, that they may slip into your mind and your heart responds with a sincere and genuine Dua. Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) will send down blessings upon you that you view His mercy incomparable and beyond imagination. 3. Kindness is said to be free, but actually kindness is always repaid. And if it is payed forward, it still comes back to you one way or another. It is the easiest and most beautiful form of love. Kindness encompasses all that is around you, either through stillness or through flow. Be kind... Simply and truly, this advice is the strongest. There is a trend now where kindness is seen as weakness, but it is only that, a trend. Don't take it too strongly. Our prophet SAWS teaches us to always give the benefit of the doubt. @2Timeless Something that I saw in you. Imam Ali (عليه السلام) says, -Imam Ali The trend now is don't make any excuses for them, but judge them straight away, and then slander their name, and then judge them in the harshest ways. The trend now is to be blind to our own shortcomings, the very sins that Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) hides for us, we shove them under a rug and without a seconds thought, we judge the sins that we hear of. Yet little do you know, when you judge them so, your good deeds will be turned to ashes so quick that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (‘a) says, And the person you backbit... unless they forgive you themselves, your blessings will deplete, if not in the Dunya, then definitely in your Akhira. “ Forgive me all for my shortcomings, even if I am too afraid to sound it out here. 4. Please never despair. Never. @Gaius I. Caesar Your strength always was admired by myself. I understand that when darkness engulfs you, it blinds you incredibly so that it blurs the sight of your faith. Be strong, stand and do not surrender but submit only to your Lord. The One High and Mighty. The Loving and Friend. Understand He is your only companion. Your companions in this Dunya are but a gift from Him. They are His mercy to you, a blessing. But you must come to the understanding that you will not be nothing without them, nor will you starve without them, nor will you cease to exist without them. Understand that your existence nourishes through His remembrance, through your thoughts and the deeds you put out there. Strengthen the bonds of your faith by placing yourself in fear of loss of those loved ones. As frightening the thought, it allows you to remember to be thankful and grateful immensely for those loved ones. And Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) rewards those who are thankful, when indeed, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) states in His holy Book, Bismillah Al Rahman al Raheem Which brings me to Advice Number: 5. Beware of being ungrateful, even if in a moments lapse in judgement, quickly regain yourself, and say Alhamdulilah for the Blessings you have bestowed upon me and forgive me of my compliant, I am Your ignorant servant. Remember that what is given to you, when not used kindly, will wither just as a rose that is now watered with love. As humans, we will complain, but never excuse yourself as to why, don't give yourself that grace and hold yourself accountable. Believe me, from time to time, I remember you all, and I sincerely make dua for all. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) bless the Mumineen and Muminaat. Grant your hearts peace and contentment. Increase your sustenance and wealth. May the Protector of all protect your loved ones and keep them whole and happy and healthy and as such yourselves. Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatulahi Wa Barakatuh.

Thank you Shiachat Let me start by saying I'm not an English teacher Nor I'm Shakespeare But one thing is for sure I'm the servant of servants of Shiachat Shiachat this is for you Straight from the heart Forget grammar And forget being smart For who ever found you Benefited from you And whomever lost you Never really found you You have been with me Through the ups and downs Lefts and rights All my battles with iblis You were on the front lines of those fights Thats it I ran out of things to say.

Salam guys !!! I want to chat with other members but its not available for me ?

Assalam o alekum all, there is a notification on chat menu but i can't access it. it says i have to be a "Advance Member"

Salam, everyone! As the title already suggests: Let's talk quizzes. We are planning to organize (regular) quizzes in the chat room - to increase chat activity, the fun factor on the forum and maybe even your knowledge. You want to have fun? Test your knowledge? Beat other SClers ruthlessly and come out victorious? Even if by mere luck? And feel proud of it? Then this might just be the right place for you! How is it going to work? First of all, we want to run a test-quizz to see how it works out and whether it'd be worth to make it a regular occasion. The test run will be launched tomorrow/today, 12th of Dec, 2015 starting from around 5pm UK time - anyone interested, please make sure that you have plenty of time on your hands for this! 1.) This first quizz will be kept general, no specific topic. We'll check your general knowledge and general Islamic knowledge. If this is a success and we continue with this procedure, the quizzes will be launched regularly and each with a different topic (which we will inform you about, beforehand). 2.) We need around 4-5 people (minimum) to make it worth-while. We'll wait half an hour in the chat to see if enough people pop up. 3.) The questions will be multiple choice ones (as of now). For this first round, we're planning around 50+/- questions. 4.) Of course, every participant is required to abide by the SC Rules and Regulations. What will the winner gain? The right to brag. Satisfaction. Victory. And if that is not enough: Obviously, we will officially announce the winner. Furthermore, we were planning to make a special edit depicting the winner's name (and some more extras, maybe) which then can be used as his/her signature for a week. A badge of honor, if you will. We hope that we will gather some interested souls for this. Ma asalama.

Who wants to join a discussion on that date, and that is EST time in Ontario, Canada? It will be fun and productive -- we can choose a hot topic and engage in friendly dialogue.. Just some ideas to bring this forum back from the dead. Who's in? If date is not convenient for you... we can plan another time.

(BISMILLAH) (Salam) Not only is the search really bad but the user content page is also just plain horrible. Look at mine: Unless I'm doing something wrong, according to this, my latest post was made last year! -_- I need to find a topic on which posted last month and, given the horrible mess that this is, it's just not possible. Now, I know the admins are all volunteers but isn't this a problem that you complain to IP Board about, given that these are basic functions of the forum and you basically use their platform?

Salam I recently became a member on SC and had a few threads posted before. However, lately I have been wanting to visit the chat room but the system wont let me. Every time I click on the chat icon it gives me an error message saying " Oops, something went wrong" and below that it would say " you do not have access to our chat room". What is the reason behind that? Why Can't I join?

(Salam) I get at least one dream a week which I would like to have explained and I am sure other people are similar. So, how about opening a dreams section on ShiaChat.com for people to share their dreams and have them explained by people who understand dreams? (Salam)

(bismillah) (salam) Just wanted to inform my brothers and sisters about the official Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (as) Online Chat Rooms which operates in English, Persian and Arabic. The good in it is that you can learn while you chat and have fun with the rest. It might be boring at times, but then again, what isn't? This is there link with their schedule and how to take part (It needs paltalk messenger basically and then you search "haram" for their room. The instructions have been written for someone who knows nothing about technology!): http://imamrezashrine.aqr.ir/Portal/home/?40541/Timetable%20of%20Scheduled%20Lectures (wasalam) and Thanks :) P.S. You can contribute by spreading the word. Many might be interested :yaali:

Asalam Alaikum, I would like to introduce myself here, i am Ahmed and muslim and i am haji! I would like to invite everyone at my website www.yaallahmadad.com it is the first islamic voice chat room on the web where you can communicate with other muslims and talk about islam with each other. Domain yaallahmadad.com is very old but voice chat room has been installed few hours ago. I am looking for brothers and sisters here who can take responsibility to control people on www.yaallahmadad.com and i will make them administrator but you need to give much time. Only those persons will become administrator who can give much time and help other muslims try to understand Islam. Please Note : All muslims are invited, register your name before someone else does. Allah Hafiz, Ahmed.
