Salam Alaykum, Im trying to figure out which choices are off limits when it comes to internships/early career choices. I do not want to contribute to political organizations that contribute to the oppression and war in middle eastern countries or for example large tech companies that fund Israel, but at the same time I feel like I should experience their high level tech solutions and learn from within their organizations in order to make a difference one day. I do not want to contribute to evil goals, but at the same time I realize I cannot contribute much if Im still learning. A scholar once told me that the difference between us and the Jews is that we do not justify the means for the sake of the end. However, I struggle to see how we can learn from these evil companies without participating in them. I want to be able to help and support Imam al Mahdi ajtf, in the right way. Please, help me.

Salamun 'alaykum, I say to the Sunni brothers to look at their creed and its results! If innocent people are being slaughtered and ethnically cleansed and if little children are dying from hunger and from cold and if houses, schools, universities, mosques, churches and hospitals are being bombed and destroyed without a single Sunni state doing anything serious to help to stop these crimes against humanity, then know that this is only the result of your creed, which was and is silent on the oppressors and attempted and attempts to put the oppressors together with the righteous! - Allah ta'ala says: 4:59 يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي ٱلأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ٥٩ O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. ___ And He says: 11:113 وَلاَ تَرْكَنُوۤاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ١١٣ And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire ___ So does it make any sense to claim that those in authority among us includes those who do wrong?! Despite this you stated: "We obey any ruler [who identifies as a Muslim], no matter whether righteous or a wrongdoer." - Allah ta'ala stated in one of the last chapters that He revealed to our noble Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam): 5:41 يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ لاَ يَحْزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي ٱلْكُفْرِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوۤاْ آمَنَّا بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قُلُوبُهُمْ ٤١ O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not ___ And He stated: 9:101 وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ ٱلأَعْرَابِ مُنَٰفِقُونَ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُواْ عَلَى ٱلنِّفَاقِ لاَ تَعْلَمُهُمْ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ ١٠١ And among those around you of the bedouins are hypocrites, and [also] from the people of Madīnah. They have persisted in hypocrisy. You do not know them, [but] We know them. ___ Despite these clear proofs of the presence of Nifaq and it being not simply a small number of people you instead claimed: "All companions were upright." - And when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) proclaimed that 'Ali bin Abi Talib ('alayhil salam) is the master of every believer in the same way he is our master and stated: "O Allah, be a friend of those who take him as their friend and be an enemy of those who take him as their enemy." And when our noble Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) informed us that 'Ammar bin Yasir would be killed by the rebellious group and added: "He will be inviting them to paradise and they will invite him to the hell-fire." What did you instead say? You said: "Both groups were righteous and callers to paradise." - And when our noble Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) supplicated AGAINST the leader of the rebellious group by the statement reported by you: "May Allah not fill his belly." What did you do? You completely ignored it and even quoted one of your scholars stating: "Maybe this shows a virtue for Mu'awiya." Now look how you became blind to the truth just in order to defend the oppressors! - Then you said: "But look how many lands they conquered." While Allah ta'ala says: 2:190 وَقَاتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلاَ تَعْتَدُوۤاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ١٩٠ Fight in the way of Allāh those who fight against you but do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors. ___ Then you claimed abrogation, as if Allah ta'ala would allow transgression after clearly disallowing it! In your vain you then stated: "Look how God made them great and how the history books are filled with their names." But you forgot what the Creator jalla jalaluhu states: 28:83 تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوّاً فِي ٱلأَرْضِ وَلاَ فَسَاداً وَٱلْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ٨٣ That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous. ___ You know the likes of Mu'awiya and Harun al-Rashid and think that their states were great due to their power and control of lands, but do you know who the righteous ones were, who were killed or poisoned by them? Can you name us let us say 5 notable persons from the Prophetic Progeny (peace be upon them) who were martyred by them and tell us why they were opposed to them? Now let us connect the issue with today: Today you claim that the oppressors that rule you do not represent you and that the only reason you can't help our brothers and sisters is because of the rulers! But let me remind you: You defended the oppressors of the past - those who would fight the Prophetic Progeny (peace be upon them) and martyr them - and claimed the oppressors to be upright just like the righteous they were fighting or at least worthy to be obeyed, so today your governments are not just oppressors, but also traitors and puppets! A just recompense for defending the oppressors and calling towards their obedience! And if you're astonished about the fact that the only people who are at least trying to help are the Imamiyya and the Zaydiyya - despite both being minorities! - and some of them even got martyred in the process, then know that this is due to the fact that both of these groups do NOT believe in inclination towards those who do wrong NOR in obedience towards oppressors! So when will you return to Allah ta'ala and disassociate yourself from the oppressors of the past and the present?

Do you people even pay heed on what's going on in the world? Or are you busy with tiktok, instagram, facebook, video games, football games, or kardashian show? Your rights are being taken away day by day since the start of pandemic, people are literally being thrown into concentration camps, kids are being bribed to take the vaccine without parental consent, your movements are being restricted. Do you even pay heed on what's going on? unvaccinated are being treated like they have aerosol HIV. Have you not seen the massive protest taking place all over the world? Why are muslim, shia muslims who talk about justice and being against oppression every year not raised a single finger on this issue? This issue is not about whether vaccine is good or bad, it's about your human rights! Have this plandemic made you blind to your human rights? The way the state has built an enemy profile for unvaccinated is no better than the way nazi treated the jews. These nazis were also ordinary men, but progressively some of them turned into monsters. This is what will happen with the state, progressively they will take away all your rights. This is just the beginning. Say goodbye to raising your family as shia, these individuals are not profitable for the state. Enjoy what your religion says, but don't raise a finger against oppression, unless it's sided with the oppressors. - Modern day muslims. The same people that says they are followers of ahlul bayt, but blind to the oppression of the oppressors. How will you choose side during the return of your imam, when your state will build an enemy profile for him. How will you do it, when you can't even do it now! My god! open your eyes before you go fully blind.

Erdogan has just recently arrested over 20 journalists and editors from a major newspaper (Cumhuriyet, left wing), and over a dozen lawmakers from the Kurdish party (HDP) in Turkish parliament, including the two party leaders selahattin demirtas, and figen yuksekdag, and turkish government has just shut down facebook, twitter, and whatsapp across the country, and shut down internet in the southeast (kurdish region), and said he would extend the emergency law for a year, while the Turkish economy crumbles and protests are being put down violently with tear gas and water cannons......he has fired 110,000 civil servants since the failed coup, shut down dozens of media outlets, fired 1/3 of the military's top command, fired and arrested thousands of judges, teachers, health care workers, professors, and union workers.......how will he be stopped? i know despairing of the mercy of Allah is a major sin, but i have begun to....

Salam Alaykum encountering some Muslims (either Shia or Sunni) and their attitude, and also observing my own attitude sometimes, I have discovered something that is very common among us. this common practice is based on a universal rule: it is always easier to blame and criticize humble people. here's the observation: there's this poor family who have been attacked and humiliated by people from upper class in the society, since the attack, the father could not do anything but to continue his endless efforts to hold together the family, he tries so hard to provide for the family, there are children of this family, the son grows up, goes to school, sees a lot of well-educated, neatly clothed children, very civilized behavior ..., these are the children of that upper class who did injustice to the father of the family, but the son does not know all this, it was for a long time ago, suddenly he has a very deep inferiority complex, he can't tell them anything they are better than him in every aspect, the son comes back home, sees his parents and starts criticizing his parents because they were losers, and they are the cause for him being inferior at the school. the son has made some very good friendships with those well-civilized children and sees everything they have as perfect, likewise, he sees all the problems as being produced because of his parents thus he is always confrontational with them, but inferior and humble toward the civilized children. his parents love him (they did all they did for their children and the family to stay together) but now the son is lost and no matter whatever his parents do, he has taken a direction which only distances him from the family. so in this way, the family remains there as secondary, a third world country, that has lost all his children to the civilized world. this has been the rule throughout all history, there were people who wouldn't see the main tyrant of the time and would be like a mouse toward the main tyrant, but were very brave in criticizing the infallible Imams (as). so don't forget, it is always easier to criticize and blame the oppressed people or the humble leader.

(salam) I wrote this when the Pakistan massacres were finally 'advertised' by the Western media. Thought I'd share. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) spoke: “If people only knew what brilliant result lies in seeking knowledge, they would have definitely sought it, even by shedding the blood of their hearts, and plunging into the depth of oceans.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some say Hussain is ours; trying to hold on to him dearly, like he’s their child, segregation, "He only came for this nation." I ask you: "Who did Muhammad come for?" Read and focus your minds, digest with intent, then analyse human-kind, Don’t sit there and pretend that you’re blind, Don’t let them tell you different, I don’t need to educate; it’s as easy as one plus one, See, they are trying to corrupt his message, But we know, we know he came for humanity, Forget sects, forget division, just do the mathematics and revision, Revise the world, realise oppression then revive his intention, It was bound to happen, Brainwashed and indoctrinated, them targeting the sheep: the knowledge less, the brainless, and inhumane, So called muslims fighting in the way of holiness, calling it jihad – insane? Sit down, and silence yourself. Go open any page from the book of mercy, It can’t hurt, but you fear your own ego ignorantly, Knowledge is power, so why the illiteracy? Yes, the window behind the curtain is another matter, A movement to destroy his path, his sacrifice, Forever attempting to wipe out names from history, But no man, no society can erase his story, So don’t become puppets, Like those muppets who flew the planes and bombed the trains, -Lesson: Eradicate ignorance and you eradicate their obstinance- Beat them with the mind, not with the hand, Become the eye of certainty, Currently, though, we are stuck within their university, Learning the currency of hope, hope meaning vanity, inhumanity, Insanity, absurdity it’s an outright fallacy, Just like the news painting its own picture, For surely media is a tool, agendas are formed and tested, Then unto us are they persisted, Do you really think 9/11 is alone? Free free Palestine, Chanted around the globe, Coverage is not only on the television, but also in our hearts, Excelling to win their freedom at any cost, never giving in, so they are never lost, Praise be to the all mighty, Stand we must, and stand we do, but -Listen closely now 49:13 - Oh mankind! We created you from a single of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other- Prejudice arising again, reminiscent of the times of ignorance, There ain’t no place for racism here, God doesn’t care about your colour, just be sincere, So, those that stood for Palestine I salute you, And just as you all got up for Palestine, you got up for Iraq, and for Bahrain, May God bless you. However, your intention is weak if you pick and choose, Faith doesn’t dictate oppression, evil does, So why sit back down when there is always a cause? If it isn’t in the news, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there, it just hasn’t been told, There isn’t anything for them if it is to be sold, Let me hit you with some truth, but don’t be scared please, don’t stay aloof, One hundred dead, gone, scattered, bodies like lead, The month is January, but that doesn’t need to be said, Can someone tell me the name of this place? Or does it need to be read? 7/7, 9/11, is this not enough for a 1/13? Sorry, are they not human? You forgot to mention that this is the show of Truman, Those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, This is Pakistan. Now learn Quetta, it’ll leave a crater in your hearts equator, Hazaris oppressed for years upon years, Yet the leaders all puppets strung tightly, but acting all politely, Friends of evil discussing behind doors, not even closed, but we decide to not walk in, When will we learn? History repeating over and over, You’d think by now we’d have found a four leaf clover, -Wise words: “We all want change, be that change”- Time is short, so stand and keep marching, Lift your pen, lift your pen and keep writing, If not with our bodies then with our words, if not with our words then with our hearts, All the while they mourn and brave the cold, and I’m not talking just weather, Sit outside your embassies, write to your governments, sign petitions, make videos, just write on some paper, Don’t, don’t just sit there and do nothing, do you not see the pictures? View your graves and think of yourselves as slaves, For nothing differentiates except good grades, Not in French, or English, But the heavens language, I don’t mean to go on but you all step on the same sand, Yeah we come from different lands, but we ain’t from different strands, We all want him, the saviour, but Allah wants our behaviour, Did you not read? He helps those who help themselves, So fix up and don’t just look above, be above, Brothers and sisters, there are those who can’t even mention love, For the divine ones they die, still they never lie, Just as Hasans treaty was broken, time and time again, The same is for our time; the laws have been choking, Don’t you think it’s enough? If you stood for Palestine, Bahrain, Iraq, Pakistan, then stand for all the oppressed, For he stood in the face of oppression and cut off its ugly head. -Now tell me? What did Hussain stand for?- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If the people wish for a passage out of darkness, set them afire for you have the power."

BREAKING NEWS: SAUDI PROTESTS Report: Saudi protesters capture army vehicle in Qatif Qatif police attack Saudis, kill several Saudi regime forces in the eastern city of Qatif (File Photo) Saudi police have fired live bullets at anti-government demonstrators protesting the death of a teenage boy in the city of Qatif, killing several mourners inclucing a nine-year-old girl. Activists say regime forces attacked protesters with artillery fire and machineguns in the city on Monday, adding that soldiers are conducting house to house searches . Thousands of Saudi demonstrators were mourning the 19-year-old Nasser al-Mahishi, who was killed by regime forces, when they were attacked. Mourners also chanted slogans against the US-backed Al Saud royal family. Mahishi was shot by regime forces late on Sunday while walking down a street in Qatif with his friends. He succumbed to his wounds on Monday. Similar anti-government protest also took place in the nearby town of Awamiyah, where protesters burned tires and blocked main roads. There were no reports of police violence there. Tension has been high in the province after Riyadh decided to increase its troop presence in the region in a bid to quash anti-government protest there. Saudi Arabia's east has been the scene of anti-government protests over the past months with demonstrators demanding human rights reform, freedom of expression and the release of political prisoners. Saudi protesters are regularly met with live rounds and tear gas, which has left dozens of demonstrators injured. Since the beginning of anti-government rallies in the region hundreds of activists have also been arrested. PressTv

'Saudi Arabia enemy of Muslim world' - Press TV News The leader of the Houthi movement in Yemen says Saudi Arabia is an enemy to the entire Muslim world, accusing the Kingdom of creating hatred and hostility, Press TV reports. Mohamed Badreddin al-Houthi said in an interview with Press TV that Saudi Arabia is “an enemy to all the free people of the world, including non-Muslims.” “It manufactures terrorism and an ideology that divides the people, divides Muslims, creates hatred and hostility,” Houthi added. The Yemeni figure, who is the brother of the late leader of the movement, Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi, further explained that in 2009 the Saudis “bribed the tribal leaders within the Houthi movement into favoring the Salafi-Wahabi ideology” so that they can control the border region between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, especially the northwestern city of Sa'ada. In 2009, clashes broke out between the Houthi fighters and Saudi forces along the common border between the two countries. The Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of supporting the Yemeni government in attacks against them. Houthi pointed out that the Saudi regime “would spend hundreds of thousands if not millions” to achieve its goals. Hussein al-Houthi and a number of his men were killed in an attack launched by Yemeni government forces in an area close to the border with the Kingdom in September 2004. Yemeni dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh has repeatedly claimed that if he hands over power, Yemen would be divided into multiple states. Mohamed al-Houthi, however, said the Yemeni nation “cannot be separated,” adding that the most important thing for the movement is “how to serve this nation, our Ummah, how to protect our morals and religious principles.” “We want dignity and independence. We will not accept continuation of Saleh scenario. We had enough during the 33 years [of his rule]. We cannot be fooled again,” Houthi said. Saleh, who was injured in an attack on the presidential palace in June, returned to Yemen on September 23 after receiving treatment in Saudi Arabia. Demonstrators in Yemen have been holding protests against the US-backed Saleh regime since late January, demanding the trial of the Yemeni dictator for the brutal crackdown on the popular uprising. According to local reports, hundreds of Yemenis have been killed and thousands more have been injured since the onset of the popular uprising in the country.
