"I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice." - Charles Darwin (1860) If God is benevolent, why did he deliberately create a natural system in which animals have no option but to cause other animals suffering? Why did he deliberately allow birth defected children to be born (both animal and human)? Why did he deliberately create all these viruses and bacteria that cause both human and animal suffering? And from a religious perspective, will the suffering of such animals be compensated? And regarding natural disasters like hurricanes, it is difficult to believe that they are sent to remind people or warn them of sins because many victims of these disasters are children and people who have lived relatively good lives. I would prefer that you guys don't cluster these questions into one question and rather answer each one specifically, unless you believe your clustered response is sufficient to address all these problems.

Salam alayikum! Whenever I pray it feels hard to breathe and I feel this huge pain in my heart. Even when its cold I feel warm, sometimes I even start to sweat. Can you give me an answer why? I would really appreciate an answer.

Imame zamana ajtf said:- Surely I am indeed the cause of security for the inhabitance of the earth just as the stars are the cause of security for the inhabitants of the sky . Nature is showering blessings on us ..... Earth holds us sky covers us Water ,food ,air,lify,children,parents, knowledge,..........,endless ne'mats by God Have we ever ponder into the reason behind these blessings ?????? All these blessings are from tawassul of imam ajtf that moon of bibi sa who is waiting occultation jiska sadka hai ye duniya not only this world but all the worlds Eonlyrearure of this world and all other worlds The biggest ne'mat of lord his last hujjat ajtf himself says he is our cause of security Not only for this decade but since he was born since he went in occultation till the day of judgement In correspondance to this blessing we give him our manipulated worthless prayers ,our gossips,our records of missed prayers , our sins,our friendships with namehrams, our lost dignity from eyes ,zina,accusations and insults of momins ......our gifts are truly precious and endless Imam e wali e asr ajtf says :- Or meri ghaibat me mjhse istefada Ki suurat is tarah hai jese sooraj se istefada kiya jata hai jab badal ussey aankho se ojhal krdeta hai. Kamaluddin vol 2 Sun covered from clouds in winters still people gets light and benefits from it inspire of being covered by clouds likewise imam as says in his occultation his followers will be benefitted the same as from a covered sun Decades have been passed not only decades but 100's of years still he is unable to find his 313 We are waiting but what's wrong in our preparations that Allah is not listening to our prayers ? Are we only waiting or preparing as well Or this modern world is stopping us from preparing Huge and huge pillars of sins are obstacles between imam ajtf and his followers Do we really know our imam as? Inshaallah will try to know our imam ajtf and try to find out the reasons stopping us meeting our imam Let's make this century the last century of pain of our imam ajtf

Salam Alaikum sisters! Many times during my period I experience so much pain that it's not even bearable. At first, when I experience the pain I start to feel sick and lightheaded and it feels like I'm going to faint any moment. I feel so cold all of a sudden but at the same time I'm starting to sweat a lot, even though I felt very cold. The cramps starts to get worse and trust me when I say that it really hurts like hell. After about 10 minutes later the dizziness goes away, but the cramps get worser and worser. I noticed that the cramps only last for about half an hour (which by the way feels like a century) until the pain comes and go in waves. After almost 2 hours I feel perfectly fine, as if nothing even happened. I have cramps almost every time when I get my period but they are bearable. But this kind of period cramps comes once in a while and I really never want to experience it again. Do you experience the same pain? If yes I really feel for you sister, what do you do against the pain?

Asalamu Alaikum, Now I have these two family members of mine. One is my uncle and the other is my cousin. Yet the thing about them both is that they have a mental illness. I'm not sure what its called but the main issue, lets start with my uncle, is that he has issues when it comes to talking or working. That means that he can't really do much in life. Now he just lives at my grandmother's house, he got a job once but it just didn't work out. He'll most likely not get married and I heavily doubt that will change and he just keeps doing the same routine over and over. Eat, sleep, repeat. My cousin now has a similar issue. She had an extra amount of fluids in her brain that needed to be removed at a very young age. My aunt did five brain surgeries for her and she tried her best to go to school but she couldn't go any farther than the ninth grade. She tried to be a hair designer but that failed also because its hard for her to learn complex things. She will also most probably not get married since she has issues with holding long or moderate conversations. All she can do is just sit at home and do the same thing my uncle does. When we have a family reunion I see her just sitting in the middle and frowning the whole time and not saying a word because she knows that if she wants to start a conversation it will always end in a awkward way since she can't go any farther than a few structured sentences. Now I understand that Allah gives all of us a test but when it comes to my uncle and my cousin. Just why? They have no chance of doing anything productive in society. To put it to the extreme, they are a waste of space. My grandmother cries over how her son is like that and my mom didn't ask my aunt about any details about my cousin either. But I know that my aunt is pretty much the same thing like my grandmother. So really though, just why does it have to be this way? Like all those people who have serious mental issues such as Benjamin's button disease, were they act like a child even if they're a grown adult. I know that they'll go to heaven and all but seriously though this is a terrible life to live for the person and all their loved ones.

Salaam, I need dua. My grandfather (a christian) has been hurting for years. He has RA, pinched nerves, and a twisted spine, He hurts so badly and we found a new doctor who may be able to help. Pray for him, pray that his pain goes away and that his new doctor soon can heal him permanately.

Salamun Alaikum, If you are reading this, you or someone you know, have or already have had a Dental nightmare, & want to avoid the Dentist Monsters in the future. Yes, Allah has a natural remedy for everything, it is just ignorant us who do not investigate and come to conclusions full of misery. It is the media that has blinded us, and stopped us from thinking beyond the horizon. I have just stumbled upon this diamond mine-field. Please if you benefit from what I am about to share with you, then after you have seen it, recite any surah for the benefit of my relatives who are dead, and do a dua for me [no need to post about it]. "www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxvWwYHma0" Please discuss what you just witnessed.

From you all a lesson is derived Not once did you complain The calamities you all survived The length of suffering and intense pain Nevertheless the way the wind blows Without a doubt in his head It is clear to see who was chose Who was it that spent a night in his bed The rain of agony showered upon you all A blessing in disguise With each drop you remained humble&tall It gently made it clear who to despise Oh those of the household The way each action you mould each ounce of knowledge you have told Be sure to know you all define. Gold.

I am a huge advocate for Palestine. I have family from there. I am Shia. This is a problem apparently. I got publicly called out today, the first day of Eid, on all days...and was personally blamed, me, and all Shia, as the #1 reason why the Ummah will never come back. Yes that's right. We, WE ARE TO BLAME, for the entire whole of the Muslim world not being united. I .... I am speechless. But I will not abandon Ahlul Bayt. :)

Salaam Allaykum, One of the questions I feel unable to answer and a question that very many atheists ask is: "Why did God create poverty, disease, miscarriage etc." I'm sure theres a perfectly reasonable answer, especially considering that this is a question all religious people, of all faiths may come across however I was wondering what your answers are. By the way, I am aware that sometimes atheists tend to ask about issues such as death, mild illnesses and such trivial things that we all undergo at one point or another and when these questions are asked I have no difficulty in providing an answer. It's the really serious and unfortunate problems that only very few people may undergo that I have no answer for. Thanks for taking your time to read (and respond).
