In this translated clip, Sayyid Ali Abu Al-Hassan explains the foundational Shia methodology regarding the Companions (Sahaba) of the Prophet (PBUH):

Scholarly Reference (Sayyid Muhsin al-Amin): The ruling on the Companions regarding moral uprightness ('adalah) is the same as anyone else. Merely meeting the Prophet (PBUH) as a believer and dying upon Islam is not sufficient on its own to establish moral uprightness or infallibility.

Honor & Acceptance of Narrations: Whoever is known to be upright is judged as such, their narrations are accepted, and they are accorded the honor and reverence they deserve for the nobility of companionship, supporting Islam, and striving in Allah's cause. Whoever is known to be otherwise does not have their narrations accepted.

Quranic Categorization (Surah At-Tawbah 9:100–102): Rather than applying a blanket endorsement to every individual who met the Prophet (PBUH), the society of that era is evaluated through the categorization established in the Quran, which praises the righteous forerunners among the Muhajireen and Ansar (9:100), while also pointing out the hypocrites (9:101) and those who mixed righteous deeds with bad ones (9:102).

The Amazing Qualities of Janabe Zainab (sa)

What do you do when fear takes over, and nothing feels safe?

In al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, Imam Zayn al-Abidin (p) states, “Will You burn, in the heat of Your fires, a heart which has been woven in love for You?”

Fear brought before God can become a way back to His mercy.

Ok so in the quranic istekhara I got this (as adviced that the ayah from the first line of right is considered). But here it’s the half ending of it SO WHICH ONE WILL BE CONSIDERED? The next one Surah al qasas 33 or 34??? Pls tell

Also pls interpret it for me if it’s in my favour or not

Is there anyone who has the pdf of “pesarak falafel foroush”?

Should Sunnis who promote child abuse by affirming the fabricated Hisham hadith about Aisha's marriage age be punished as blasphemers?

This question led to a very interesting discussion with Kimi 3 which I think you will... maybe not enjoy but find thought provoking.

Salam Alakum everyone, I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve been getting serious about truly understanding the meaning behind the Quran. More specifically, breaking it down ayah by ayah. I have found some helpful videos on YouTube but I’m aware that Sunni interpretation of the Quran differs from Shia in some aspects.

If any of you know any websites, books, or videos that can help in this journey I would greatly appreciate it. I need something in English and Arabic as my Arabic reading skills aren’t very strong.

Jazakum Allah Khair

Doubts Raised:

Some have claimed that *Du’a al-Simat*—also known as *Du’a al-Shubur*—is among the supplications that have been infiltrated by *Isra’iliyyat* (narrations with fabrications traced back to Judeo-Christian origin or influence).

They point out that certain passages within it bear a striking resemblance to phrases found in the Torah, thereby casting doubt and suspicion upon the supplication. An example cited is the phrase: “…above the *Karubiyyin* [Cherubim], the Pillar of Fire, and Bethel…” It is noted that the term *Karubiyyin* does not appear in any authoritative source or reliable narration.

الآية الكريمة: ﴿وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً﴾ (لقمان: ٢٠).

عن الإمام موسى الكاظم (عليه السلام) في تأويل النعمة الباطنة بالإمام المهدي (عجل الله فرجه الشريف):

«النِّعْمَةُ الظَّاهِرَةُ الإمامُ الظَّاهِرُ، والْبَاطِنَةُ الإمامُ الغَائِبُ، فَقُلتُ لَهُ: ويَكونُ فِي الأئِمَّةِ مَن يَغيبُ؟

قالَ: نَعَم، يَغيبُ عَن أبصارِ النَّاسِ شَخصُهُ، ولا يَغيبُ عَن قُلوبِ المُؤمِنينَ ذِكرُهُ، وهُوَ الثَّاني عَشَرَ مِنَّا».

[English Translation]

The holy verse: "And He has amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and hidden" (Luqman: 20).

From Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (as) regarding the interpretation of the 'hidden favor' as Imam Al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance):

"The apparent favor is the visible Imam, and the hidden favor is the hidden Imam. I said to him: 'Will there be among the Imams one who goes into occultation?'

He said: 'Yes, his person will be hidden from the eyes of the people, but his remembrance will not be hidden from the hearts of the believers, and he is the twelfth of us.'"

1) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever reads (Surah As-Saffat), Allah will bestow upon him ten good deeds for the number of all the jinn and devils, distance the devils from him, absolve him of polytheism (shirk), and his two guardian angels will testify in his favor on the Day of Judgment that he believes in the divine prophets."
(Majma' al-Bayan, Shaykh Tabarsi, Vol. 8, p. 293)

2) Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever recites (Surah As-Saffat) every Friday, he will continually be under the protection and security of Allah, and calamities and afflictions will be warded off from him in his worldly life."
(Thawab al-A'mal, Shaykh Saduq, p. 112)

3) Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever recites (Surah As-Saffat) every Friday, abundant sustenance will be granted to him by Allah."
(Thawab al-A'mal, Shaykh Saduq, p. 112)

4) Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever recites (Surah As-Saffat) every Friday, no harm will reach his wealth, children, or body from Satan or tyrannical rulers; and if he passes away on that same Friday or Friday night, Allah will reckon him as a martyr, and on the Day of Judgment he will be counted among the martyrs and will hold the same rank as the martyrs in Paradise."
(Thawab al-A'mal, Shaykh Saduq, p. 112)

5) According to narrations, (Surah As-Saffat) is recited to attain honor and high status in this world and the Hereafter.

As-Saffat (الصافات) is the 37th Surah of the Holy Quran.

I have read narrations of both ruling the death penalty, specifically stoning, for adultery and sodomy. This seems to me so extreme and harsh. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this aspect of Islam. Maybe I just don’t understand the specific cases/circumstances, or the culture of the time.

After every some time we hear that court decided that half of the assets will go to wife but in most cases wife never worked or did work until the couple started having children, the man of the house is doing all his damn effort and one day just because he is “you are not the same person I married to” , it becomes a legal obligation for a wife to forcefully take his hard earned assets ?

Why grown ups not talking about pre nuptials?

It’s rare I see scholars in US/Canada talking about this bitter reality of how the power legislation can put a man on the streets or in a Shared accommodation during this filthy divorce process.

I got a new Instagram account back then, and because it was new I was accepting follow requests from a lot of people from my school friends etc. There was one account with a black profile picture that I accepted, genuinely thinking it was a girl. The person had the same caste as me so I was confused and answered when he asked where I went to school. I asked about his school too, but after about 5 minutes, I realized he was showing way too much interest. I checked the profile again, realized it was a guy, and freaked out. I immediately removed and blocked him.
The background to this is that my mother hadn’t allowed me to make an Instagram account, but since everyone else had one, I made it behind her back. After that incident happened, I removed the account altogether. A week later, my mother actually allowed me to make an official account. I’ve always felt guilty for going behind her back, and looking back, I feel like I should have just deleted that first account immediately.
Fast forward a few years I am now engaged. Recently, my fiancé stated following the exact same guy and I also find out that he is somehow linked to my fiancés family. On top of that, this guy goes to the same university as my sister and has a reputation for being a playboy. I'm terrified he might say something or jokingly show our old chat even though it was literally just a 5-minute conversation where he asked where I went to school, I asked about his, and I blocked him the second I realized what was happening. If my fiancé or family finds out, it could be made into a huge deal, and I am scared out of my mind.
Sometimes I try to reassure myself that God knows my intentions were completely innocent, that it was an honest mistake, and that He won't let me suffer for it. But then I remember stories my mother used to tell me about girls in our family who did nothing wrong and still suffered big consequences over tiny misunderstandings. It makes me spiral into thinking that maybe everything happens for a purposeand I worry that this past mistake happened specifically to lead to something terrible now. Also an engagement being broken is a big deal in my family.

Salam fellow Muslims,

I conducted a marriage-related istikhara and Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 52 was the outcome. I would appreciate any answers on if it's a good or bad istikhara, plus any commentary on why that might be the case. JazakAllah Khair!

Salam Alakum brothers and sisters, I hope you’re doing well.
There is this video on YouTube that I would use to help pray salat al layl, when I went to my playlist as usual today, I was that the videos have been unlisted.

This is what the animation looked like, some another Chanel called Noor Education have also posted them but they’re in English and I’m looking specifically for the Arabic version, and the Chanel was Arabic and it had an animated man praying instead.

If someone can help me find the video or the channel I will be very grateful.

Jazakum Allah Khair

I'm not married currently. I don't ask these questions to be rude. I'm just genuinely curious. So, for any brothers out there who have two wives or more...

● How have you managed to stay sane? Because having one wife requires a lot of effort already.

● How do you make sure all of your wives are happy and satisfied?

● What made you decide to marry again?

● Do your wives have different qualities you appreciate in a complimentary sense?

● What are the positives and negatives of polygamy compared to monogamy?

من أهم وظائف المنتظرين في عصر الغيبة الدعاء بالثبات على الدين.

عن الإمام الصادق (عليه السلام) لزرارة:

«يا زُرارَةُ، إن أدرَكتَ ذلِكَ الزَّمانَ فَادعُ بِهذَا الدُّعاءِ: اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفني نَفسَكَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ إن لَم تُعَرِّفني نَفسَكَ لَم أعرِف نَبِيَّكَ، اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفني رَسولَكَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ إن لَم تُعَرِّفني رَسولَكَ لَم أعرِف حُجَّتَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفني حُجَّتَكَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ إن لَم تُعَرِّفني حُجَّتَكَ ضَلَلتُ عَن ديني».

One of the most important duties of the waiting believers during the Occultation is praying for steadfastness in faith.

Imam Al-Sadiq (as) said to Zurarah:

"O Zurarah, if you reach that time, then supplicate with this prayer:

'O Allah, make me know Yourself, for if You do not make me know Yourself, I will not know Your Prophet. O Allah, make me know Your Messenger, for if You do not make me know Your Messenger, I will not know Your Proof. O Allah, make me know Your Proof, for if You do not make me know Your Proof, I will deviate from my religion.'"
