Alhamdulillah. May Allah reward Br. Asadullah Ali

Hello fellow shia i have come and approached you with a question i have for my college based project. I need to figure out the economic values like trade and goods in Iran and Iraq. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Rahim In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Prayers and Peace be upon Prophet Muhammad and His Holy and Immaculate Household. There have been a group of us on Shiachat who have been watching over the years how many brothers and sisters fall into problems and despair because of a lack of opportunities to find a suitable spouse. There are opportunities, both on and off line, but these opportunities are not feasible to do for some brothers and sisters who 'fall between the cracks' as it were. In order to help them, and in the spirit of Amr Bil Maroof wa Nahiya Al Munkhar (Enjoining good and forbidding evil), a group of us have decided to invest some of our time fe sibilillah (in the way of Allah) in order to help our brother and sisters find a suitable spouse who may otherwise find it difficult to do. In Introducing the project, there are a few points that need to be clear 1) This project is not officially part of or affiliated with Shiachat, although it has support from a number of influential members here. 2) This project is a marriage opportunities network, just like the name says. It is an introduction service, it is not a marriage or match making service. 3) The project managers and participants will strive to abide by all clear and agreed upon Islamic requirements for a marriage related project The Project, In Brief The managers of the project have committed to holding sessions once a month via Skype in order to introduce brothers and sisters to each other in a halal, confidential, and secure environment. Based on the session, potential spouses are free to 'self select' (it is a self selection process, the organizers don't match up the participants) and if there is a match, the project manager acts as an agent in order to exchange contact and other information with the interested parties only. Only those looking for a spouse plus one session moderator per session are able to participate. There may be multiple session held simultaneously in order to provide convenient times for brothers and sisters living in different parts of the world. The sessions will be held in the English language only (for now). There is a registration process (links will be given below). The Project - Participation In order to participate, each person must complete the registration process. The first session will be limited to a maximum of 5 brothers and 5 sisters. This is per session. If there are multiple sessions, it will be 5 and 5 per session. In case there is more demand than can be accommodated, priority will be given to brothers and sisters who fully fill out the references sections and their references are well known in the community and can be easily verified and those who have filled out the optional questionaire. There is no cost to the participants for participating in the session, other than their time. The Project - The session The first Session will be held via Skype. The target date for the first session is July 28th at 9 pm Eastern Standard (New York) time. There may be additional sessions for brothers and sisters in the UK (we will be announcing if there is). The session will be approximately 1 hour. It will start with a 5 minute introduction to the project and instructions for participants. The rest of the session will be 5 minute segments given to each brother and sister to introduce themselves to the group. Participants can participate in any way they feel comfortable, voice / video chat, just voice, or just text (chat). In case they decide to participate via video, Islamic regulations regarding dress must be observed. There will be approx 10 minutes given at the end of the session should brothers and sisters have questions for each other or the moderator. Participants will contact the moderator via email in case they are interested in one of the other participants. If they one they are interested is also interested in them, moderator will send their information to each other. After that point, MON Project is out of the picture and it is up the the individual brothers and sisters to pursue or not pursue the relationship in a responsible and safe manner keeping in mind the guidelines of Islam, wisdom, and common sense.
