Audhu billahi min ash-shaitanir rajeem. Bismillah, ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim AsSalaamu Alaykum, In my humble opinion, we should focus on lessons learned from the Tragic events related to Karbala. There is a wealth of knowledge and insight stored in every action taken/ sermons delivered by Our Master Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn[as], Sayyidah Zainab[sa], Imam Ali ibn Husayn[as], Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas[as] and the blessed companions. 1] What is your understanding of the Message of Karbala. 2] What lessons do you learn from events related to Karbala. [Includes events leading up to Ashura, on the day of Ashura and events after Ashura including the caravan of the oppressed, events in Kufa, Iraq and in Damascus, Syria and their return to Medina.] *Old Topic is in a different section, http://www.shiachat.com/forum/topic/235036879-karbala/ let's continue in this section titled Muharram.

Is there an apparent contradiction in the Quran. In verse 6.163 - the Prophet (saw) says he is the first Muslim: [Quran 6:163] No associate has He; and this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who submit. In verses 2.128-133, the Quran says Hz Ibrahim and his progeny are Muslims: [Quran 2:127] And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House: Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing: [Quran 2:128] Our Lord! and make us both submissive to Thee and (raise) from our offspring a nation submitting to Thee, and show us our ways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely Thou art the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful. [Quran 2:129] Our Lord! and raise up in them a Messenger from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise. [Quran 2:130] And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous. [Quran 2:131] When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds. [Quran 2:132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims. [Quran 2:133] Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when he said to his sons: What will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your god and the god of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one Allah only, and to Him do we submit. So either the Prophet and/or Allah was confused about who was the first Muslim OR we have to believe that Prophet Muhammad was truly Allah's first creation.

Salaam, Starting a thread where you can post anything informative you learn during the days of Muharram that would be beneficial to the entire ShiaChat community - religious or secular.... Hopefully, we can all increase our knowledge this year because there is no knowledge that is not power.

Asalaam Alaikum brothers and sisters. I was wondering if anyone could share what they believed was the best way to learn Arabic (formal classes, certain websites, software, etc.). Help from those who had to learn Arabic as another language would be much appreciated! I am thinking of buying Rosetta Stone arabic (since it teaches you more formal), though it is rather expensive. All advice would be great, thank you!
