Public QnA

My question is regarding Khums payment on Fragrances.

This is a 3 part question.

1) Do I have to pay khums on fragrances that I purchased throughout the year and still have remaining at the end of the year.

2) if 1 is true, what is the khums rate? Is it the same rate of 20%. I read someplace that it was 1/3 of 20 so wanted to confirm.

3) if 1 is true, is khums to be paid on the price I purchased on including tax I paid to the Canadian government, or the price without tax? Or resale price?


Anything which you have purchased for your use even though you have not used it completely but it has lost the market value ( anyone would buy it from you and the shop keeper would not take it back from you) there is no khums on it and it would be considered as your expense. There is no Khums on one's genuine expense.

What is the ruling for breaking a recommended fast i.e. of Rajab or Shaban intentionally? What’s the kaffara?


Mustahab fast can be broken anytime and there is no kaffara for that. But if the Fast was wajib then you can fast 60 days for one fast broken deliberately. If you are not capable health wise to fast 60 days then feed 60 poor people or give one mudd (=3/4kg) of foid- stuff, like wheat, barleyor bread etc to each of them. If you cant feed 60 people then seej divine forgiveness from Allah (swt). And Obligatory precaution is that you should give kaffarra as and when you are capable to do so.

If a person lives in a part of city further from where he works, let’s say 2-3 hr journey and commutes to work, does he have to pray/break his fast following prayer time of where he is working? Or following prayer time of where he is residing? If magrib is at 5.30 at his work place and 5.35 at his residing place, can he break fast at 5.30 if he is still at work or wait until 5.35?


if a person is committing daily of even 5 days a week he has to fast at his work place and offer his salat full not broken. but as for as timing of salat concern he has to follow the local time for his salat and for opening his fasts.

My issues is this that I have very severe anger issue that has also diverted me from deen. I have started denying Islam, it seems like I have become an atheist. Whenever someone talk to me about Islam, I get so angry. Whenever i hear quran recitation somewhere I get angry and frustrated. I have not prayed for past several months. I have even started disrespecting my parents. I know I am doing wrong but I don’t know why i can’t control myself from doing so please help me with this and tell me what should I do to come out of it


Who said you are atheist and don't believe in Islam? If this was the case you wouldn't ask this question.
Alhamdolillah you have fear of Allah you feel guilty what you have done agaist your desire. This is a very good sign. Many people skip their rituals that is not good but it's very common too. So don't worry about that. You just try to go agaist your wish or desire for a while i mean when your mind says dont pray namaz pray it just for the sake of not listening to your inner instinct. Recite this line as much as you can " La Haula Wa La Quwata illa billahil Aliyul Azim Hasbunallah Nemal Wakeel Nemal Maula Wa Nemannasir".
Listen to your parents if you feel anger leave the place.



In my dhuhr prayer, after standing up for the last rakah, I wasn’t sure if it was my fourth or fifth rakah, however I was somewhat sure it was my fourth, so I continued and completed my prayer, is my prayer valid?

After 1-2 hours of having completed dhuhr, I realized the doubt was still going, is my prayer valid or not?

Doubt in a 4 unit prayers before finishing the Zikr of the second Prostration

If a person doubts during Qiyam (before the Rukoo)as to whether he has offered 4 or 5 units he should sit down at once and finish the prayers and offer 1 unit by standing or 2 units by sitting of Salat-e-Ehtiyat.

If a person doubts while in Qiyam (Before the Rukoo) as to whether he has performed 3rd or 5th unit he should sit down at once and finish the prayers and offer 2 unit by standing of Salat-e-Ehtiyat.

If a person doubts while in Qiyam (Before the Rukoo) as to whether he has performed 3rd, 4th or 5th unit he should sit down at once and finish the prayers and offer 2 unit by standing and 2 units by sitting of Salat-e-Ehtiyat.

I want ask that at what extent husband and wife allowed in sexual activity or just advise what is not allowed?
another thing when wife is in menstrual time periods continue for 3days and after that they stop and some time only a drop seen other wise mostly periods stops after three to four days, my question is that is it allowed to do sexual activity after 3 days when periods stops and take ghusul for sexual activity and offer prayers and other wajibat.


You are allowed do all that which is the part of a foreplay during the sexual contact with your wife if she agrees do so and doesn't feel uncomfortable with that. Also what is appropriate and not against the ethics of a sexual pleasure.
As for as sex after menses concern. The criterion is that once a woman has been cleaned ( stopped) from her menses and she has done her ghusl of haiz.
About the days as you know it is from 3 till 10 days now it depends person to person. Some women can have 3 days some 5 days and some till 6 or 7 or maximum 10 days. So once a woman doesn't sees blood traces in her private parts it means she is now Pak and after performing Ghusl she can make a relationship with her husband.

How to do sajdah if one has a recent head and nose injury, and most of the forehead is bandaged?

If its possible for him to keep his/her forehead on the ground or on whatever things h/she is using for sajdah it would be considered h/her Sajdah. Otherwise if it's not feasible for him/her to put forehead on the ground can take mohr in hand and touch it on the forehead.


I’ve been trying to perfect my salah recently, and I read in ahadith that we’re meant lean on the left leg and also have both rump cheeks on the ground. I’ve looked at demonstrations and I cannot get my legs to bend like that and have my rump entirely on the ground at the same time, it feels like I’m gonna snap one of my knees or break my left foot.

Are there any exercises you teach people in masjids for this? Because I’m actually having to do stretches and warm-ups before my salat (I’m not even kidding).

Are there ahadith that say it’s only mustahhab?

Mera sawal ye hai k Quraan me ek lafz buht dafa aya Quran e hikmat us se murad kya hai?


Quran main aisa kahin nahi aya hai " Qura e Hikmat" magar "Hikmat" lafz ka istemal bahot hua hai. jiska litral meaning Wisdom hai. kahis is lehaz istemal hua hai ke log kion wisdom ka istemal nahin karte. Ya is liye istemal hua hai ke Allah ne Rasool ko bheja hi is liye hai ke woh logon ko Hikmat aur Quran ki taleem den. Lehaza Quran main Hikmat ka matlab Aql aur Logic ya wisdom bayan hua hai.


Humara sawal ye hai agar koi najaez awlaad hai uski beti ki nasl me nikah krna kaisa hai ?


Agar musalman hai to nikah main koi mushkil nahin hai.


1. What does Shia islam say about paranormal activity? Is it real?

2. For example, ghosts, haunted buildings, haunted houses, haunted cemeteries. Are those real?

3. Ghosts or spirits opening doors, making noises or knocking things off of tables or shelves and the idea of Evil energy. Or iteams/objects flying around the room. Is any of that real?

4. If any of that is real, can you get physically hurt by a ghost or spirit?

5.What is the Shia perspective on jinns? Are they the same as ghosts or spirits?

6. Can a jinn take a human form and do bad or evil things to people? Can they physically harm you?

7. How about seeing unusual figures that you can’t describe. Like almost seeing something move or feeling like someone is staring at you when no one is there. And feeling like someone is walking past you. Or seeing a ghostly figure in a photo.

I’ve heard friends ( some Muslim, some non Muslim) tell me about personal encounters where unusual and un-human things happen to them, but I never know if I should believe them because I personally don’t know the Islamic perspective on this and if Islam believes any of it to be real.


Most of your questions can be answered by one word that is No. But yes we do believe in Jinn as Quran has mentioned details about them. But as for as Shia perspective if we talk anything negative about them (Jinn) its just their temptation to Humans for doing wrong things or bad deeds. Therefore if you read chapter Falaq and Nas in the Holy Quran it has been asked same ways that we should seek refuge of Allah from the harm of both Jinn and Ins ( Insan= Human). So it's against the Justice of Allah swt that he give power to an entity who comes and harm an innocent human who can not defend himself or can't realisizes their presence. If we talk about ghost or witch and black magic sometimes it can work but not frequently and with anyone and if it happens there are ways to tackle them. So whatever you hear from Ghost or raed and watch in movies or in the books of Christian or Hindus or even Muslims most of the time it's just superstition or cinematic scenes but not authentic.

Our debts are not decreasing. We both work really hard and try to give debts till the last one is over we can see new one standing already. What could be the reason behind it? We dont do fuzul kharch and always try to clear out but as it get clears the another debts is already existing. Please give some wazifa or explain what wrong things are done by us etc

There is one wazifa you may try inshallah your problem will be solved.
Before going to bed at the night clean yourself and wear clean clothes and use the place to sleep which is also clean (Pak). Sleep alone not with your family. Before sleep recite Surah Shams and Suran Layl 7-7 times. Then recite: "Allahumma Ija'l Lee Min Amry Hadha Farajan wa Makhrajaa."
So anyone does this amal he might see first day a dream or 3rd or 5th Day might be 7th day. He will be said the solution for the problem in your dream.

Some Olema have said to recite Surah Ad Dhuha and Surah Alm Nashrah and 7-7 times Surah Shams, Layl, At- Teen, Ikhlas, Falaq and Sura Nas. Then sleep towards Qibla direction in the state of Wudhu. You will see in your dream from 1st till 7th Night you will see a dream.
Note: If you feel comfortable to do this the do it otherwise don't do it.

I am at Canada and I eat bubblegum frequently. I recently found out that Trident gum has 2% sugar alcohol.
So should we eat it or not?
Is it halal, Please answer it

You can eat it.

گرہن مین جو حاملہ خواتین کے لیے عجیب و غریب قسم کی احتیاط بتائی جاتی ہین کہ چت لیٹ جائے چھری چاقر استعمال نہ کرے. آیا یہ سب باتیں درست ہین؟ تفصیلی جواب چاہہے


ہندوستان اور ایران سمیت کئی ثقافتوں میں سورج یا چاند گرہن کو حاملہ عورت کے لیے بدقسمت سمجھا جاتا ہے اور یہ خیال کیا جاتا ہے کہ چاند گرہن جسمانی خرابی، پھٹے ہونٹوں یا بڑھتے ہوئے بچے کے چہرے اور جسم پر پیدائشی نشانات کا باعث بنتا ہے۔ ان توہمات کی حمایت کرنے کے لیے کوئی سائنسی ثبوت موجود نہیں ہے، لیکن یہ ہماری ثقافت میں اتنی مضبوطی سے شامل ہیں کہ یہ آپ یا خاندان کے دیگر افراد کو چاند گرہن کے دوران کسی کو بھی بچے کی حفاظت کے بارے میں فکر مند بنا سکتے ہیں۔ حمل کے دوران سورج اور چاند گرہن دیکھنے میں کوئی حرج نہیں ہے، کیونکہ یہ محض سایہ ہے جو بچے کو نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکتا۔ اس سلسلہ میں جو باتین بتائی جاتی ہیں زیادہ تر خرافات اور بنیاد ہیں اور ان کے کوئی صحیح سائنسی مضمرات نہیں ہیں۔
سورج گرہن اور چاند گرہن، جیسے سورج کا نکلنا اور غروب ہونا یا موسم کی تبدیلیاں، مکمل طور پر قدرتی مظاہر ہیں اور اس وقت رونما ہوتے ہیں جب سورج، چاند اور زمین سب ایک ہی لائن میں ہوں۔ جب چاند سورج اور زمین کے درمیان ہوتا ہے اور چاند کا سایہ زمین پر پڑتا ہے تو اسے سورج گرہن کہتے ہیں۔ جب زمین سورج اور چاند کے درمیان ہوتی ہے اور زمین کا سایہ چاند پر پڑتا ہے تو اسے چاند گرہن کہتے ہیں۔






I wanted to ask, I wish to marry a marry who is looking into converting. He is a previous Christian but not practicing, the same as his family however in the past he used to drink alcohol and his parents still do. Would his or my previous consumption of alcohol have an effect on future children. Is this marriage still permissible even though his parents still consume alcohol


If he is really accepting Islam and going to live his life accepting to Islam then his past will not play any role in his future life and future generation.

What is the meaning and explanation of یا قاطعالبرہان

The meaning of the phrase is that peace be upon you, the owner of decisive evidence; That is, your proofs and proofs are decisive for all words and arguments, and in fact, the your words of speech is the final and most likely no one can have arguments for it.

I wanted to know that there is mentioned at so many places in the Quran that fear Allah SWT because there will be no one who can save us and no intercession can save us, and to my knowledge nowhere it is given that the imams and the prophet will intercede for us.

Its true that in the Holy Quran it has been frequently asked that we should mind the duties of Allah swt and have Taqwa which is some how defined as fear of God but actual meaning of Taqwa is have discipline in our life and follow the commands of Allah swt so we can achieve salvation and Sa'dat in this world and hereafter. Also it has said that no one can do intercession but except those whom He will give the permission.
If you read this holy verse:

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 255:
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him ☆☆☆(but by His permission?) ☆☆He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.

مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ
☆☆☆(but by His permission?) ☆☆
But intercession doesn't mean that we do frequently mistakes or sin in our daily lives hoping just on the Day of Judgment Prophet and Aimmah (a.s) will do intercession for us. We have asked for forgiveness purely and sincerely from Allah after any mistakes done and not to repeat it again anad again. Also we should feel guilty. Then if we have done this we might have intercession on the day of Judgment inshallah.

I’ve a mistake. I’m suffering from waswas and I’ve made an oath saying “I swear to Allah that if I repeat my Salah or wudu due to waswas I am no longer a Muslim”. The problem is that while praying I interrupted my prayer because I’ve passed gas (90% sure of it) so I repeat wudu and salah. I’m afraid that I am not longer a Muslim because I’ve broken my oath

This type of oath has no credibility. A Muslim can be no mere muslim if he/ she denies the existence of Allah (swt) His Prophets and the day of the Judgment. About you waswas the shariya rules say if anyone has extreme level of doubts then he/she has to ignore his/her doubts.

Few days back, while I was having a conversation with a non- Muslim friend who wears gold, I told him that Gold is forbidden on Men in Islam.

He was curious and wanted to know the Reason of why gold is forbidden on Men.

These all reated to basically to avoid a lavish life specially as for as jewelry concern it give to human a boasting nature and also lowers down morality because it involves too much towards a material life and thought. You may ask these same about a car and house etc. but if they exceed from the necessity and reached to the level of prideband show off then that thing will also not be permissible.

Can one wish to get married to a specific type of person ( for example a specific height or ethnicity) when doing ziyarat of Imam Hussain?

Yes why not. One can ask these in his or her duas.But make sure our duas must be in the light Islamic boundries and teachings. And should not be against Islamic laws. For example if anyone wishes to have such thing in his/ her life which is not allowed to have with in the Islam.

If I am to have a cosmetic treatment which does not allow to apply water for 24 hours only. Is it permissible for me to do tayyamum instead?

If Doctor has recommended to you and water is harmful for your heath then yes otherwise no you have to do wudhu.

I wanted to ask, when we buy a new home, what recommended acts can we perform before entering and on the first day after entering (recitations, amal etc)

According to some tradition of the holy Prophet (saww) it is Mustahab (recommended) that a person should give Walima ( Invite few people for food) also recite Hadith Al Kissa and also recite Quran which should be always in practice.

If a miscarriage happens from zina do the parents still get guaranteed heaven

Nothing is guaranteed for the heaven except one own deeds that has reached to the lavel of acceptance of Allah (swt). But we dont know which deeds of us has accepted that is why we do all the recommended deeds again and again while we are living in this material world.
Zina itself is a greator sin therefore first of all both who has committed this act of Haram has to ask for forgiveness seriously from Allah (swt). Rest is depends upon His mercy. Because Allah knows better.

I would like to ask, if applying makeup outside your home for any function is haram?
Because we have these statements that if a husband allows you to wear makeup and go out without hijaab then t is allowed and there is no sin to it. How true is this?

Applying makeup is itself not Haram but if after makeup anyone wants to go outside in the presence of non mahram then she has to hide her makeup. Otherwise if she is going to the place where there is no non mahram then its ok. A woman can not go outside without a proper covering (Hijab) even if her husband allows her. It is haram for a woman to go outside without hijab even if her Father or Brother or mother or even her husband ask her to do so.

There has been circulation going around that the m&m chocolates are haram to eat because the manufacturing in the UK use additives that comefrom animal products when they are making M&M’s and traces of these can be found in the sweets.

The USA has certified their m&ms as kosher and state they don’t use any animal product additives.

I live in Canada and can’t find anything about M&M chocolates being okay to consume. Do you know whether it’s okay to eat the M&M chocolates here in Canada? Theoretically if the packaging does have the kosher Symbol, would it be okay to eat?


I've gone through the Wikipedia information related to M&M's. There are two things I found suspective in this chocolate; one is the use of gelatin and the other is carmine. Carmine is a substance abstracted from the dead insects and widely being used as a food color. Therefore this product which is made in USA is still using natural insect based Carmine while in EU it has banned and in food stuff they are using plant based color ingredients. Because there was lengthy discussion amongst the scientists that this carmine causes allergic in human. Please see the link attached to the answer. Therefore, USA based M&M is not allowed while EU made can be consumed if the gelatin is not from the animals.

United States
In January 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluated a proposal that would require food products containing carmine to list it by name on the ingredient label.[15] It was also announced that the FDA will separately review the ingredient labels of prescription drugs that contain colorings derived from carmine. A request from the Center for Science in the Public Interest urging the FDA to require ingredient labels to explicitly state that carmine is derived from insects and may cause severe allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock was declined by the FDA.[16][17] Food industries were aggressively opposed to the idea of writing "insect-based" on the label, and the FDA agreed to allow "cochineal extract" or "carmine".[18]

European Union
In the European Union (EU), the use of carmine in foods is regulated under the European Commission's directives governing food additives in general[19][20] and food dyes in particular[21] and listed under the names Cochineal, Carminic acid, Carmines and Natural Red 4 as additive E 120 in the list of EU-approved food additives.[22] The directive governing food dyes approves the use of carmine for certain groups of foods only[23] and specifies a maximum amount which is permitted or restricts it to the quantum satis.[citation needed]

The EU-Directive 2000/13/EC[24] on food labeling mandates that carmines (like all food additives) must be included in the list of ingredients of a food product with its additive category and listed name or additive number, that is either as Food colour carmines or as Food colour E 120 in the local language(s) of the market(s) the product is sold in.[citation needed]

As of January 2012, EFSA has changed the way they allow use of Carmine E120 for pharmaceutical products. The EFSA had raised concerns over the increasing number of allergic reactions to carmine derived from insects (E120.360), when used within the British Pharmacopoeia. Pharmaceutical products which had previously contained insect-derived carmine, have been replaced with a synthesized version of the food colorant. Internal studies have shown that the new formulations of popular anti-nausea and weight-gain liquid medication had a significantly lower risk in terms of allergic reactions.[citation needed] The new formulation is known to be of plant origin, using calcium oxide to gauge color depth.[further explanation needed]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine

In 1976, Mars eliminated red-colored M&M's[60] because of health concerns over the dye amaranth (FD&C Red #2), which was a suspected carcinogen, and replaced them with orange M&M's. This was done despite the fact that M&M's did not contain the dye; the action was purely to satisfy worried consumers.[13] Ten years later, Paul Hethmon, then a student at University of Tennessee, started a joke campaign to reinstate red M&M's that would eventually become a worldwide phenomenon.[61] Red M&M's were reintroduced as a result, and the orange M&M's that had originally replaced them were kept in production. In Europe, red M&M's contain the red dye carmine (E120, cochineal).[62] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%26M%27s

If a girl is having the monthly period and her nikah date comes that nikah will be valid or correct?

Will talaq divorce be valid in the menses?

Yes Nikah can be performed during the menses.

For divorce (Talaq) one of the condition is that woman must not be in the state of her menses. She must be Pak (clean).

I wanted to ask, I have seen a lot of posts etc on social media about tahajjud being a vital and very powerful prayer for hajaat but mostly seen this on Sunni pages, I wanted to ask, from a shia perspective is this true or are the benefits of this prayer primarily focussed on something else?

No doubt for sure Salatul Layl has many many benefits and blessings. https://www.al-islam.org/salatul-layl-tahera-kassamali-hasnain-kassamali/hadith-salatul-layl

Is it permissible to attend and accept tabarruk from a majalis of which I’m sure that the Bani e majalis ( organizer ) is a person who earns through lending money for interest ?

Yes you are allowed to attend the majlis and take the Tabarruk.

Here in an imambargah, people throw coconut (nariyal) towards the Zareeh of Imam Husain (Shabeeh) in mimbar. They say that the nariyal is like the head of your men in family and you are offering that to Imam Husain, and that’s why you bowl the nariyal towards the zareeh. Is this permissible?

Keeping the high level aim of Azadari of Imam Hussain as. and his companion this thing doesn't make sense. We should avoide such customs and traditions which can cause people get confused with other religions traditional and also about their logic. This act has no logic behind it. Must be avoided.

Muharram, the month of mourning, will soon begin. I aim to adopt the good habit of reading books this year. Therefore, I gladly ask you to recommend some excellent Islamic books that a beginner should read. I also want you to recommend a book to me that explores the life of the Ahl al-Bayt.

Please check the link im sending to you. Inshallah you may have a good colletion of Shia school of thought books on this link.

I wanted to ask is buying lottery ticket in Canada allowed in islam

A) It is not permissible for a Muslim to buy tickets of chance (including lottery), if he buys them with the intention of luckily winning the prize.

B) It is permissible for him to buy the lottery tickets if he buys it with the intention of participating in a charitable cause that is accepted Islamically like building hospitals, orphanages, etc., but not with the intention of winning the prize. However, this hypothetical situation is extremely difficult to occur in non-Muslim countries that consider certain activities that are forbidden in Islam to be of a charitable nature according to their own understanding.

In both the cases [of “a” and “b” if a Muslim wins the lottery], it is permissible to receive the prize from a non-Muslim [person or company].

Might be I think too much
That even for a milliseconds my mind say that you must give this xxx money as sadqa

Some of my brothers says that if you intend to give this ____ as sadqa you have give and don’t use for your own(it will haram for You)

This I think is for milliseconds
Do I need to give that(xxx money) as sadqa?
Can I prevent that and can I use that for my own use?

It all depends on your niyyat (intention). If you have done your niyyat confirmed then you can not use it again for yourself despite that the amount or thing has not been separated out from you and still in your possession. But if your Niyyat is not confirmed yet your are still in dilemma then you can use it.

In prayer, after Tashahud, we do Salawat on the prophet (s) and his family (as). Is it allowed to extend this salawat and say the Salawat al-Ibrahimiyya in prayer? ("allahuma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa aali Muhammad, kama salayta ‘ala Ibrahima wa aali Ibrahim…")

No we are not allowed to add anything that Salawat.

If I am offering salah and I bite my lip intentionally or unintentionally, is my prayer valid? Or if that happens after finishing salah, is my wudhu broken? And what if I swallow blood unintentionally?

Just because if biting lips salat will remain valid but if blood has come in a significant amount then he has to break his salat and clean the blood then continue his salat.

Why is mutah allowed because allowing 1 hour of marriage with another person kind of removes the real meaning of a marriage and also sleeping with multiple people can cause stds

You have misunderstood the meaning and concept of Mut'a marriage in Islam. Please go through the link for the more details please.

1. I receive student loans for living every year, if at the end of the year I have extra leftover must I pay khums on it?

2. Is khums due on books I purchase? I purchase religious books from my money and loan in order to increase my religious knowledge but is this considered an extravagance and therefore does khums need to be paid?

1- There are different types of loan government in western countries provide to their students. Sometimes they don't ask for return, sometimes students must have to return it.
Therefore according to Ayatullah Makrim Shirazi(DM)If it was given to them free of charge, what is left at the end of the year( khums year )has khums due to obligatory precaution.

If it's like debt and it has to be returned to the government then out it what amount is remains with you till the date of you Khums year then khums will be liable on it.

2- Its your expense so if you have used it then there is no khums on it

If husband and wife are both agreed then are they allowed to do anal sex or is it haram according to Ali Khamenei?

Shari'a rule for intimacy with the wife from behind is:
Aystullah al udhma Imam Khomeini, Khamenei, Safi Gulpayegsni, Makarem and Nouri: "It has a strong disgust". (Ayatollah Nouri, Taqf al-Masal, p. 452; Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Safi, Taqf al-Masal al-Marjah, p. 450; Ayatollah Makarim, Suznat al-Aruwa, Haqam al-Hayd, p. VII and Ayatollah Khamenei, Isftaa, p. 425)

I had a job interview, and I didn’t lie on my resume but when they asked me a question regarding my experience , I made up my own story about it and I realized after the interview with that what I did was wrong. Now this would not impact my oppurtunity as I had already gotten the job confirmation. Is the income I make from this job Halal?

It depends on your statement. If it's related to your qualifications and your job's nature is based on your qualifications then you are legally not entitled to aquire that job and in that case your job it self will not be legal.
But if your wrong information is different then you have done gunah but your job is ok.

What is the process of Muajjal and muwajjal haqmehar?
How to write that in nikah nama?

If the the Haqqe Mehr is Moajj'al; It means that a deadline for its payment has been set between the couple, such as the condition that the dowry is given to the wife after 2 years. But Mehr has to be fixed at the time of Nikah.

I was wondering if it’s considered haram to kill mosquitoes? I saw one in my room and I instantly made the choice to kill it without thinking if it would be considered haram to do so? It wasn’t harming me but was flying around my room and I was worried it would bite me while I’m sleeping.

There is nothing wrong to do that. We have full authority to protect our body from any threat either by diseases or by insects or anyother threat.

From last few months I have been feeling very low, and i can’t focus on anything. I don’t feet good and can’t find peace anywhere, it looks like something happened with me. So many scary dreams and I involved in haram things and then i feel regret of that but why can’t I stop myself from doing that. Also i am not married or engaged yet and so many proposals also came for me but I am unable to say yes, its like my inner voice is not ready to say yes for anyone!

Many time our loneliness become our worst enemy. As for as Sin or Ghunah concern the most important this which we have to note is that how much we involve of engage us in such environment otherwise itself doing gunah and omitting sin is not a big deal. Shaitan is always with us and seeking our carelessness or our involvement then rest of the thing he does is to beautify our sin. I thing you must accept your marriage proposal and forget about your past that would be the best option for you. Also do not leave your Namaz in any case. If you offer regularly without missing your namaz inshallah within a week you wil see a change in your life.

According to Qur’an's point of view one of the effects of Prayers is that it keeps one away from sins and unlawful things. Because Qur’an says:

And keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil…1

Then also we see that many people who pray commit sins and evil deeds and there is no effect of prayers on their words and deeds. Then what is the meaning of the above-mentioned ayah?

Answer: First of all one should remember that for a person to remain away from sins, the primary thing is remembrance of Allah and Faith. One, who forgets Allah, doesn't think about his actions and character and to fulfill his desire never thinks of any limit. The opposite of this is that the remembrance of Allah keeps us away from sensual desires. The remembrance of that God who is All-aware of our small and big deeds and whatever we think, He is all knowing.

To control unlawful desires, the natural and straight way is to remember God, to know the status of godly people, to remember the punishment meant for sinners and to remember the rewards for those who follow the divine commandments.

The holy Qur’an describes the godly people in this way:

Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of poor-rate…2

Amir al-Mu’mineen Ali (a.s.) gave special importance to the remembrance of Allah and says as follows:

“Allah the most High has created lights in the hearts of his servants, due to that shining their ears start listening and eyes start seeing and they leave enmity and mischievousness and obey His commands.”3

Imam Ali (a.s.) in these sentences said that 'forgetfulness' is the disease of the heart and deafness and blindness, which make the human beings rebellious, quarrelsome and inimical from the true and right path. In comparison to this your property is the remembrance of Allah, through which your heart listens and enlightens, which bring the sensual desires under the control.

On the basis of whatever is said above, one who is unmindful about the rewards and punishment of Allah is like a blind and deaf, who rides an untrained horse. certainly the horse will hit the stones and fall into a pit, but those people who are awakened and their hearts remember the Lord; they closely observe the results of their deeds. They listen to the truth with great attention and keep their sensual desires under control by remembering the Almighty.

Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) addresses one of his friends in this way:

“Always remember Allah, because His remembrance is a hindrance between a person and unlawful deed.”4

Asbagh ibn Nubata says the Amir al-Mu’mineen (a.s.) said:
“Remember Allah on two places, one at the time of distress and when you are about to commit a small sin, and to remember Allah at the time of sin is more important because His remembrance is a hindrance between the person and the sin.”

It is apparent that there are different stages of remembering Allah, and they are never similar. Sometimes he reaches the stage that insures a person against all sins and due to this his involvement in sin naturally becomes impossible. These are people who remember Allah with a peaceful heart, awakened heart, enlightened eyes, hearing ears and obedient soul.

Most of the people remember God in a middle stage. For example there are some people who commit some sins, but in any way they do not shed the blood of others, or usurp the property of orphans, or defame others because they know the punishment for these sins is very severe and their inner soul stops them from these sins.

Sometimes the remembrance of Allah is so less and hazy that it becomes apparent only in leaving of sins. Many times the stronger factors, makes its basis effect less. But if the remembrance of Allah is practiced even if weak and defective, it can protect a person from many sins.

Prayers is the source for the remembrance of Allah
One of the secrets of Prayers is that it inculcates the remembrance of Allah in man and Qur’an itself says that it is one of the purposes of Prayers:

Therefore serve Me and keep up prayer for My remembrance…5

It is apparent that Prayers is worship and it should be performed with the purpose of nearness to Allah, which is why it is naturally the cause for the remembrance of Allah.

The person who is praying expresses those sentences by his tongue which makes him attentive towards Allah and it is the source of His remembrance. For example in the Surah Hamd, which we recite in the Prayers, we praise Allah and His qualities and after this in his holy realm mention the different servants and it also same for other recitations in the Prayers.

The effect of Prayers on our soul is that it makes our spirit stronger and makes us remember Allah, and this remembrance as we have told earlier has different stages. Those people who do not refrain from many sins and are careless and due to sins they do not remember Allah.

In other words, the saying of Qur’an that “Prayers protects the person from sin” doesn't mean that the person who prays Prayers becomes immune from sins, but it means that it is the cause of remembrance of Allah and it also diverts a person attention towards the Lord and the natural effect of this type of remembrance creates a spirit in the worship and refrains him from sins. But it is also possible that if a person is less attentive towards Allah, the other factors may remove the spiritual effect.

The conclusion of this discussion is that if the Prayer is prayed in its proper way, it will have an effect on the person to make him resist sins. Sometimes this effect is strong and sometimes it is weak and there is variation due to the difference in sins and difference in Prayers. When the Prayers are prayed with humility and perfection, his training and restraint from sins is stronger.

Prayers of those who pray practically stops them from sins and along with this help in refraining from other sins because the worshipper has no option, that for making his Prayers right and acceptable, he should refrain from many sins. For example one of the conditions of Prayers is those things, which are necessary in Prayers should be lawful. This makes the worshipper leave many things, because it is very difficult that a person who prays makes sure that all the things required for Prayers be lawful and in other things is not worried about lawfulness.

From whatever is said above it is proved that those who do not pray, as a result of non performance of Prayers they also fail to perform other worship acts like fasting, Hajj, Khums and Zakat. They do not differentiate between Halaal and Haraam, clean and unclean. While those who at least pray, refrain from some sins and those who perform this worship in a better and perfect way refrain from most of the sins or all the sins.

In brief Prayers have a training effect on the person who prays, whether this effect be comprehensive or weak, it depends on the performance of Prayers and upon its manner and spirit.

1. Kya qurbani ka gosht non-Muslim ko de sakte hain?

2. Qurbani ke jaanwar ke jo body parts khana makrooh hai (jaise ki testicles), kya unhe bhi non-Muslims ko dena jayez hai?

1) Agar Zaroori nahin haj aur koi momin maujoid nahin hai to diya ja sakta hai warna behtar hai avoid kiya jaye.

2) Testicle ka khana Shia fiqh main Makrooh nahin hai Balki HARAM hai. Lehaza use kisi janwar ya birds ko khila dena chahiye ya dafn kar dena chahiye. Use kisi ko bhi dena sahi nahin hai.

I know that ahadith says that a girl is mature at 9 (as long as she doesn’t have any mental defects). But I also know that a girl can get married just with her father’s permission, and doesn’t necessarily need him present.

I’m not questioning the Imams AS, but could a 9, 10, or 11 year old get married just with her father’s permission? I guess I can kind of understand a 12+ girl getting married with only her father’s permission, but under that, I’m not sure.

Can she still get married at a young age just with her wali’s permission? I guess (as long as he’s a righteous and modest believer) he knows best and is capable of giving her permission if he believes it’s okay, regardless of her (9+) age.
Is that correct?

According to Ayatullah Sistani ( Islamic laws) as long as marriage age concerns its not an issue that when a boy and girl are going to be married but the if anyone has doubt about the consent of father ( or legal guardian) concern even if the girl and boy are not reached to the Bulugh ( puberty age) at the time of their marriage and later on if they are not agreed on their nikah, then they can nullify it. Therefore there is no such forceful law and exploration or discrimination exists in Islam.
Agha Sistani's Verdict:  A father or paternal grandfather can wed to someone his non-bāligh child/grandchild or his insane child/grandchild who has become bāligh while in the state of insanity. After the child becomes bāligh or the insane individual becomes sane, if the marriage is detrimental for them, he/she can either approve or reject it. But if such a marriage is not detrimental and he/she annuls the marriage after they become bāligh [or after the insane individual becomes sane], the obligatory precaution is that they must either get a divorce or conclude another marriage contract.

Also if the girl and boy any of them they have not reached to the of maturity and physicaly not ready for any sexual relationship then its not permissible to have sex the young wife of husband:
 If a father or a paternal grandfather marries his non-bāligh son/grandson to a girl, then once he becomes bāligh he will have to pay for his wife’s living expenses. In fact, even before he reaches bulūgh, if he is of an age when he is able to derive sexual pleasure and his wife is not so young that her husband cannot derive sexual pleasure from her, then in such a case, her maintenance (nafaqah) is his responsibility. Otherwise, maintenance is not obligatory (wājib) on him.

Dua e Mashlool padhne ke liye kya zaruri hai ke bawazu rahe?

Nahin zaroori nahin hai ke ba wuzu hokar hi parha jaye lekin is baat ka ghayal rahe ke dua parhte waqt agar ba wuzu nahin hain to Allah aur 14 Masumin ke naam ko touch na kiya jaye.

Assalamwalaikum mera sawal hai: Roze Arafa ke din roza rakhna kesa hai jayez hai ya mustehab hai. Ayatullah sistani sahab k nazdeek iski kya Ahmiyet hai

Mustahab hai aur bahot ahmiyat hai magar agar kisi ko roza rakh kar dua Arafa padne main diqqat ho ya to behtar hai woh na rakhe

To mujhe ye janna tha ki kya muharram mein black kapde pehen na zaruri hota hai?

Allah (swt) aapko jazaye khair enayat kare. Muharram ka color ya rusumat se utna ghahra rishta nahin hai jitna eh ke mah is baat per ghaur o fikr karen ke Imam Husain a.s ne kis maqsad ke liye apni aur apne aur 72 sathiyon ki jaan ki qurbani pesh ki. Woh kon log they unka jinhone ne Imam ko shaheed kiya aur Yazid jaisa shakhs ( sharab peene wala, zina karne wala, qatl karne wala....) kaise Khalifa ban gaya usko uske walid ne kion khalifa muqarrar kiya. aur uske walid Muawia jaise shakhs ko kisne Damascus ka Governer banaya aur kion? Yoon to har Qaum aur millat main Khushi aur gham ke kuch rusumat hote hain aur ham sabhi uski qadr karte hain. misal ke taur per agar main apne dost ke walid ki mayyet main jaoon aur yellow ya red color ka lebas pahen loon to koi haram kam nahin hai magar us culture aur rewaj ke mutabiq sahi nahin kaha jayega. Muharram main 10 din Imam Husain ke gham ke liye makhsoos hain jiska lehaz shayad sabhi Muslims ko rakhna chahiye. Imam Hussain a.s sabhi ke hain jo bhi Muslaman unke Nana Rasool Allah ka Kalema parhta hai. lehaza zaroori nahin hai insan kala kapda hi pahne magar haan koi aisa kam ya rasm na kare jisse zahir ho ke use Imam Husain ka gham nahin hai.

I live in Canada and wanted to ask you about how can i check of a food item is halal or not? For example, for most chips, biscuits, choclates and other food items I am not sure about what to check in ingredients.

According to Shiaism, is there any specific list of haram ingredients or any online resource/website that I can refer to for determining if a certain food item is halal or not?

Now a days most of the production companies write the ingredients and some time there is a code used for some specific things. So if you are not sure about its being Halal or haram you can use it but if you are sure it has something haram you have to either call on toll free number or check it on internet.

Meri beti hai. Mjhe koi ase dua bata den
1-jisse inka mustaqbil acha ho or padhai me hosiyar hon
2- jisse ye har exam me. sabse ache number laye or hmesha kamyab hon

Main bahot adab aur ehteram ke sath kahna chahta hoon aisi koi dua nahin hai ko Insan ke Mustaqbil ki guarantee dey Sake. Iska reason eh hai ke agar aisa hota to fir is duniya main aane ka maqsad hi nahin rah jata. Eh Duniya Amal aur Action ki duniya hai. Quran ne saf kaha hai :
Surah An-Najm, Verse 39:
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for-

Hamara sara ham o gham is Duniya main yahi hai ke ham har kam main jise hame karna hai apni koshish aur Talash karen aur Allah (swt) per tawakkul karen aur usse behtar Natije ke liye dua kare.Isi kj ubidiyat bhi kahte hain aur yahi haqiqi mano main Dua karna hai. Dua ka matlab hota hai Pukarna to ham Allah ko hamesha hazir nazor maan kar usse pukaren aur Ahle bait ( a.s) ke wasile se Pukaren.
Aur nahin haj ke koi insan kuch khas dua parh le fir use kuch karne ki zaroorat nahin.
Bachchon ke achche aur Bure hone main Maan Baap ka pahla kirdar hai fir unke teacher ka aur Dost ka aur fir Society ka agar inmain se koi bhi cheez imbalance hoti hai to uska long ter effect bachcho ki parwarish per parhega. lehaza aap agar apni aulad ko achcha banana chahte hain aur jaisa bhi banana chahte hai eh depend karta hai aap apni khud ki life kis tarz per jee rahe hain. Inshallah Allah ham sab ki hidayat farmaye.

Mera sawal ye h k mera bhatija jiski umr 7 sal thi uska inteqal ho gaya h. To mera swal ye h uska chaliswa kitne din ka hona chahiye q ki wo masoom baccha tha. Koi bol raha h 23 din ka koi bol raha h 35 din ka.
Kiya uska b chaliswa bade insan ki yrha yoga ya kam din ka.

Or dusra swal ye h uski mot hospital me hue thi kiya chaliswe or ghr ki putae zarury h ya nahi ghr or uski ruh nahi nikli

Jo kuch aapne sawal main poocha hai uska Islam se koi Talluq nahin hai sab kuch logon ki banayee huee rasmain hain. na puatayee ki zaroorat hai na Rooh nikalne ki zarooaat hai. Jahan tak chaliswain ki baat hai to chaliswa is liye sirf nahin hota hai ke marne wala khuda na khasta gunahgaar tha to kiya jaye aur agar gunah nahin kiya tha to zaroorat nahin hai. Chaliswan karte hain take Aimmah ki musibat yaad ki jaye aur jisse Aimmah ke gham ko yaad karke Marne walon ke ghar walon ke dilon taskeen ho sake.

We had received a steel box from some relative however we don’t remember now who had given us that box.
So what are we suppose to do now of that box?

If you don't at all about the box that who has given it to you and you have done your research about but couldn't find the owner then give this box as a Sadqah on the behalf of the onwner of the box.

I accidentally smoked a vape e cigarettes while I was fasting out of forgetfulness. Does it break my fast?

If it's happened unintentionally your fast is valid as long as you have not vaped another puff after realizing the about your act. Or you have not done anything else which can invalidate your fast.

I wanted to ask if people "evolve" levels in Jannah. For example, there are 8 gates to paradise. Let’s say you are able to get only into one gate in Paradise. Is it true that overtime, the other gates would open up for you? Is the reward you have in Jannah permanently fixed?

There will be no such elevation in Jannah after the final Judgment because after the final judgment all the rewards and deeds will have been calculated then a person will enter in the paradise and that would be eternal. But before the Day of judgment those who has passed away his souls are going to Barzakh (Purgatory) where it is possible his family or friends and relatives doing any goods deeds on his or her behalf and the Baqiyatuss Salehat he has left behind him in this world will benefit him in the Barzakh day by day but after final judgment there will be no elevation. But what you have asked about 8 gates of Paradise is not fixed may be a person can use any of them.

Is it really possible that we can view barzakh in this world through any wazifa?

Its very clear to know how would be our Barzakh life. We just monitor our worldly life. If we really have God consciousness (Tawqa) our life will be easy.

I wanted to know that our dear one passed away a year ago and my mom brought his graves sands becauses we are going to holy shrines here and my mom told that his wish was to visit that shines but he couldn’t so I want to know that it is Jaez to get that graves sand and take to the shrines?

There is no harm in doing that as long as you get permission to put this sand inside the Holy shrine. But if you just want to put in one of the graveyard of that city then its ok.

I wanted to ask that if Mutah has been permissible, why it didn’t take place between Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) and Zulaikah?

Zulaikha was already a married woman.

I wanted to enquire the following:
1) I got engaged last year, and got into mutah with her for a period of 1 year, ( i got my mutah recited on 15th april which was 2nd ramadhan) , wanted to ask do i need to follow the islamic dates or english dates while renewing( so do i have to renew again on 2nd ramadhan or 15th April?)

2) During my Muta/Nikah, my wife can ask me for Mahr, which can sometimes be something non monetary as well, if i get a mahr condition which is a future scenario( eg, to pursue further studies after nikah) for which we both have mutually agreed to comply, but however due to some scenarios/circumstances, the above mahr condition can not be fulfiled, does it then invalidate the Mutah/nikah?

1) You can follow the same calendar according to that you had done your Mut'a first time.

If a man has a temporary wife whose ʿiddah has not yet finished, he can contract a permanent marriage with her or marry her again in a temporary marriage. However, if the period of the temporary marriage has not yet finished and he contracts a permanent marriage, the marriage contract is invalid unless he first gives her the remaining period and then contracts the permanent marriage.

So you can renew you Mut'a period for further dates once the first time slot has been over.

2) If her demand is as a dowry of Mut'a and you have agreed on it then you will be entitled to pay it to her.

Please can you provide us with authentic hadith about the oppression done to Bibi Fatimah (a.s) i.e fadak snatched away, being slapped (not sure if it’s true) being hit by the door.
If possible can we please have authentic Shia hadith and Sunni hadith as well if available.

Insulting the house of Hazrat Fatima (s.a)
Yes, with these emphatic orders, unfortunately, some have ignored its sanctity, and desecrated it, and this is not an issue that can be covered up.

In this regard, we quote texts from Sunni books, in order to make it clear that the issue of desecrating the house of Zahra (PBUH) and the subsequent events is a certain historical matter and not a myth!! And although in the time of the caliphs, there was an extraordinary censorship of the writing of virtues and virtues, but due to the fact that (the truth is the guardian of the object), this historical truth has been preserved alive in historical and hadith books, and we, in quoting documents, We trace the chronology from the first centuries to the writers of the present age.
ابن ابى شیبه و کتاب «المصنَّف»
ابوبکر ابن ابى شیبه (۱۵۹-۲۳۵) مؤلف کتاب المصنَّف به سندى صحیح چنین نقل مى کند:
انّه حین بویع لأبی بکر بعد رسول اللّه(صلى الله علیه وآله) کان علی و الزبیر یدخلان على فاطمة بنت رسول اللّه، فیشاورونها و یرتجعون فی أمرهم.
فلما بلغ ذلک عمر بن الخطاب خرج حتى دخل على فاطمة، فقال: یا بنت رسول اللّه(صلى الله علیه وآله) و اللّه ما أحد أحبَّ إلینا من أبیک و ما من أحد أحب إلینا بعد أبیک منک، و أیم اللّه ما ذاک بمانعی إن اجتمع هؤلاء النفر عندک أن امرتهم أن یحرق علیهم البیت.
قال: فلما خرج عمر جاؤوها، فقالت: تعلمون انّ عمر قد
جاءَنی، و قد حلف باللّه لئن عدتم لیُحرقنّ علیکم البیت، و أیم اللّه لَیمضین لما حلف علیه
Translation:
1. Ibn Abi Shaybah and the book "Al-Musnaf"
Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaybah (159-235), the author of the book Al-Musnaf, quotes in the correct document as follows:

When the people pledged allegiance to Abi Bakr, Ali and Zubayr were talking and consulting in Fatima's house, and this matter reached Umar ibn al-Khattab. He came to Fatima's house, and said: O daughter of the Messenger of God, the most beloved person for us is your father, and after your father, you yourself; But I swear to God, this love does not prevent that if these people gather in your house, I will order them to burn down the house.

He said this sentence and left. When Ali (pbuh) and Zubair returned home, the dear daughter of the Prophet (pbuh) said to Ali (pbuh) and Zubair: Omar came to me and swore that if your gathering was repeated Burn the house on you, I swear to God! He does what he swears! (7)
We reminded that this event has been narrated in the book "Al-Musnaf" with the correct document

فأمّا علی و العباس و الزبیر فقعدوا فی بیت فاطمة حتى بعثت إلیهم أبوبکر، عمر بن الخطاب لیُخرجهم من بیت فاطمة و قال له: إن أبوا فقاتِلهم، فاقبل بقبس من نار أن یُضرم علیهم الدار، فلقیته فاطمة فقال: یا ابن الخطاب أجئت لتحرق دارنا؟! قال: نعم، أو تدخلوا فیما دخلت فیه الأُمّة
Translation:
Ali, Abbas and Zubair were sitting in Fatima's house when Abu Bakr sent Umar ibn al-Khattab to drive them out of Fatima's house and said to her: If they do not come out, fight them! At this time, Umar ibn al-Khattab set out for Fatima's house with some fire to burn it down. At this time, he met Fatima. The daughter of the Prophet said: O child, you have come to burn our house. She replied: Yes, unless you enter what the ummah entered! (عقد الفرید: ۴/۹۳، چاپ مکتبة هلال.)

The Rewayat which say that Omar has burnt the house of Lady Fatima (a.s) has not mentioned in any 6 Famous Books of Ahle Sunnat but it has been mentioned in these books that Lady Fatima was angry with Omar and Abu Bakr and she left this Duniaya while she was disagree with them. But they have censured the Rewayat of Burning the house while other famous Sunni Historians and writers have written the incident of burning the house in their books.

I have a question regarding Tawassul
As far as I know Tawassul means seeking wasila meaning we go to Allah (swt) through wasila.
I have read many duas which talks about tawassul.
In dua tawassul we read
"O Allah, I beseech You and turn my face toward You in the name of Your Prophet; the Prophet of Mercy"
So the dua starts with asking Allah (swt)
Similarly many duas are on this pattern.

Dua e Tawassul is the name of several Duas; But a Dua with the same name is more famous, the source of which is the book of Biharulanvar. Allama Majlisi found this prayer in one of the old versions and in that book it is stated that this Dua was narrated by Muhammad ibn Babwaih Qommi from the Imams (AS) and it will be answered immediately for everything.
Tawassul in the teachings of the Shiites and the majority of Muslims means relying on a person or thing that has a high status and value in the sight of God, in order to approach him and meet his needs. Tawassul is closely related to the doctrine of intercession, and these two doctrines are usually mentioned together.
Dua e Tawassul" refers to several Duas:
The famous Dua of Tawassul, which begins with the phrase: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَسْأَلُک وَ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَیک
بِنَبِیک نَبِی الرَّحْمَةِ
In Baladul Amin, [2] Kafami has quoted a detailed Dua called the Dua e Faraj, and at the same time he has mentioned the Dua e Tawassul.
Sayyid Ali Khan has quoted the Dua of Tawassul from Qabs al-Misbah Sheikh Saharashti in Al-Kalama al-Tayyib. [3]
There is another Dua called Dua e Tawassul in Al-Balad Al-Amin. Kafami introduces this Dua without mentioning the reference, as a Dua narrated from the Imams (AS). In this Dua, the reader of the Dua, in the final verses, swears by the right of the fourteen infallibles, asks God for his needs. [4]
According to reference, the source of the famous Dua e Tawassul mentioned in Mafatih al-Jannan is the book of Biharul Anvar. This Dua has been narrated by Sheikh Saduq (r.a) from the infallible Imams without referring to the documents and chain of narrations. Allamah Majlisi says: I found this prayer in one of the old manuscripts written by one of our companions and in that book it was said: "This Dua was narrated by Muhammad ibn Babawiyyah Qommi from the Imams (AS) and I recited it for everything immediately was answered. And this is the dua e Tawassul ... "[5]
The content of the prayer of supplication is the Dua and request of need from God; with this feature, when we pray, we swear by God to the right of the fourteen infallibles and ask Him to fulfill our need and prayer on their behalf. Such a request is a sign of the position of the saints in the sight of God and has nothing to do with monotheism. [6]

3- Rain can make pak the surface if there is no traces of Ayn e najis remained on the surface. But if a wet dog splashes and you get the droplets then your clothes will become najis. But we can not consider all the city or buildings najis by just this assumption that a wet dog has passes here and there.
3- If you are not 100% sure about anything that its najis then you can treat it as Pak.

Is someone who takfirs Abu talib or curses him considered a nasibi?

Technically he will not be considered Nasibi but other than Nasibi none can commit such sin.

I have a najis mattress for that I put bedsheet on. During the night I often sweat and other wetness might be of the bed. Does that make me or my clothes najis?

If you are sure that the wetness of your sweat reaches to the najis part of the mattress then it will make your clothes najis otherwise no.

I was writing with a Quill pen and I got ink all over my fingers. I tried washing my hands with soap, trying using rubbing alcohol, shampoo, tea tree oil and a few other products and the oil will not fade from my fingers. I tried my best to remove however no success, I’m worried about my prayers. What should I do in regards to wudoo and prayers?

if the original ink has washed-out and only strain is remaining on your skin then it would ok if you perform your wudhu and ghusl. I hope as you mentioned after using all these soaps and ingredients there shouldn't be remaining any ink on your skin.

Meri abi abi delivery hui hai. Mera bachha born hote hi ventilator me chala gaya. Pregnancy k time mene b apna thik se dhyan nai rakha. Mere bachhe ki halat ki wajah mai apne aap ko manti hun isliye muje bohot guilt hai or depression b bohot ho raha hai k maine esa q kiya. Kuch bataye kaise mai is depression se bahar aau

Bahot sare reasons ho sakte hain. Aur fir aisa sochne se aap koi faida nahin hone wala. Isliye jitna ho sake Allah se madad ke liye dua kijia aur Allah ki zzat per poora bharosa rakhiye. Insha Allah 14 Masumin (a.s) ke Sadqe main Allah apke bachche ko Shifa dega. Bas aap Allah main bharosa rakhiye. Inshallah behtar hoga.

A diabetic person is fasting (qada ramadan fast) and before zuhr he experiences low blood sugar what should the person do? If the person breaks the fast, does he need to pay kaffara?

If he can't continue his fast due to his health condition then there is no kaffara for him. He has to fast later on if he will be able to do so. He has to pay fidiya (one meal) for that fast to a needy person.

What is the difference between Wilayat of Imam Ali as and taqleed?

Wilayat of Ameer al Momenin is related to our faith and all our actions (including ebadaat (worships)and Mamelat (dealings) are depending upon the Wilayat of Ali (a.s).
While Taqleed is a system where you can find the guide lines of the Islamic Shariya in order to perform your ebadaat and Mamlaat in a correct and appropriate manner.

Mery sunni colleague ka sawal

*What’s the authority of Ya Ali a.s Madad ? Mola Hussain a.s ny karbala mey Ya Ali a.s Madad q ni kaha ? Kisi aur Sahabi ny kabhi jang mey Ya Ali Madad q ni kaha ?*
Please also give some references


Seeking help from the authorities who is the closest servant of Allah has no issues but we should not consider anyone or any power besides Allah and consider him parallel to Allah in His affairs.
Is this perspective saying Ya Ali Madad will not have any issues and even remembering Imam Ali (a.s) is an ebadat. Not only one Sahabi but Umar has said 70 time in his Khilafa …. “ If Ali (a.s) wasn’t there he would be perished.”
Whatever we have in Religion Islam is just because of the Holy Prophet (saww) and Amiral Momenin Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s)

The phrase "Law La Ali (AS) Lahalaka Umar" لو لا علی (ع) لهلك عمر
has been issued from the tongue of the second caliph, in different streams and many times to the Commander of the Faithful Ali (AS).

From our childhood we are told that jannah has precious stones like, marjan, emerald, gold e.t.c but there is use In this world but in hereafter what is it’s use? Is it only for our pleasure? That’s all? What do we do with this beauty of emerald and other stones and metals? What is the use and is it just for pleasure?

This is a fact that we can’t realize the reality of Jannah. What is important is that for as long we are here in this material world to have strong and solid faith in unseen reality of the hereafter. We should not be doubtful about the unseen and Jannah is one of the examples of the Unseen faith.

There is a dua taught by Hz. Zahra (sa) called "Chehl Keleed" – 40 keys. Would you be having it in Arabic with English Translation?

1) Is it allowed to have anal sex with a wife during her periods with her consent ?

2) If the wife is in her periods and had anal sex, does she has to do Ghusl of Janabat during her Periods,
i.e. will she do Ghusl of Janabat immediately? While in her periods?

3. If the above answer is (2) NO, then pls advice will she stay in the state of Janabat and how will she come out of it?

It’s not allowed to have anal sex, it’s Haram and if anyone has done during his wife’s menstrual period then when she will become Pak from her menses, she has to do both Niyyat (Ghuls of Hayz and Janabat) at the time of One Ghusl.

Can a man pleasure himself without the intention of ejaculating?

What you are asking about is sexual pleasure and it’s not possible to get alone unless a person goes to the imagination that is not allowed therefore the best way to control one’s sexual desires is either gets married even temporary marriage otherwise should not involve oneself in a sexual environments etc.

What does Islam recommend to focus on studies?

And what should be the goal for studying like the motivation to study as I don’t have any big reason to study

Any field of education which a person knows that it is necessary for his community or people and even nation he must go and seek that knowledge.

Please guide is their any problem in doing Aqeeqa in Muharram? As aqqeqa is considered happiness so is it allowed to do aqqeeqa and serve lunch to close family with that meat?

According to the jurisprudence there is no restriction about the month when you have to do or not to do. But it’s better to not to do Aqeeqah in first 10 days of Moharram then after Ashura, you can do while avoid any celebration just do to as a Sunnat Amal and for the seeking of the pleasure of Allah (swt).

Can a syed girl marry a non syed man?

Yes if a person has good option then there is no issue to that. The only criteria for being good or bad near Allah is Taqwa.
Al-Hujraat:13]:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware.

When Hazrat Imam Jafar (as) married Hazrat Abu Hanifa’s sister then why can’t a Syed and Shia marry a sunni girl? Why there are man made differences? Neither Hazrat Imam Jaffar (AS) nor Imam Abu Hanifa (RA) wrote Fiqah Jafferia and Fiqah Hanfia, when we all know it was the propaganda of Abbasis then why are Ulma not preaching this to nation?



Imam Ja'far Sadiq (AS) married with Fatima, who was a descendant of Imam Hassan Ibn Ali (a.s) From her two sons were born named Ismail bin Ja'far (the sixth Imam of the Ismaili sect) and Abdullah Afteh. After the demise of Fatima, he married with Hamideh khatoon and taught her religious matters as she became one of the learned woman in Madina. Hamideh khatoon gave birth to two sons named Musa Kazim(a.s) (the seventh Imam of the Twelver Shiites) and Mohammad Dibaj.

Therefore there is no evidence that Imam Sadiq (a.s) had married with the sister of Abu Hanifa.

Janab Abu Hanifa was a student of Imam Sadiq (a.s) so his knowledge was from Imam Sadiq (a.s) but what Imam Sadiq (a.s) had learnt was from Allah (swt) and none can prove in the entire history that anyone who had taught Imam Sadiq (a.s).

Yes I’m do agree with you that when there no such restrictions exist in Shariya that Shia can’t marry with Sunni and Sunni can’t marry with Shia then we should not implement islamic laws from our own side.

But as we know that according to many traditions and Quranic verses Wilayat is and integral part of Islam and Holy Prophet (saww) has appointed Ameeral Momenin Ali(a.s) as his successor by the command of Allah (swt) :

[Al-Maeda:67]:
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
O APOSTLE! Announce all that has been bestowed from on high upon thee by thy Sustainer: for unless thou doest it fully, thou wilt not have delivered His message [at all]. And God will protect thee from [unbelieving] men: behold, God does not guide people who refuse to acknowledge the truth.

Then there is a big challenge if the offspring from a Sunni father will not accept Wilayat of Ameer al Momenin (a.s) and instead they will have love of Muawia like person who the open enemy of Ahlulbayt (a.s) then who will be responsible? Yes we respect and love our Sunni brothers who loves Ahlulbayt (a.s) but we can’t accept Muawia bin Abu Sfiyan like person as a leader.

I’m in a relationship with someone and sometimes talks goes to wrong way on calls i never meet her. I want to get married but us me abh time hai and want to do Muttah but me bh sakt sharten hai. Girl is independent wu job karti hai khud akely bahr aana jana. Meny ek aur ulma say pocha she says k agr zinna me mubtla hony ka shak ho ya zinna hojati hai to in conditions me Baap daada ki ijazat zarori nh Nikkah e Muttah kar sakty hain.

Ijazat ehtyaatn hai. Aapp is kay bary me kya kahengy

Jo Islami shariyat hamen shadi ke liye nikah ya Mut’a ka hukm deti hai usi Shariat ne eh bhi kaha hai ke Larki ka nikah ya Mut’a main uske wali (guardian) ki ijazat zaroori hai. Yahan exception us soorat main hai jab larki divorced ho ya widow ho aur agar virgin hai magar uska walid ya dada zinda nahin hai aur unhone kisi ko uska sarparast nahin banaya hai aur woh apne faisle khud karti ho aur kisi ki guardianship main na rahti ho to uske liye wali ki ijazat shart nahin hai.

Ab jis zina ke bachne ki baat aap kar rahe hain agar wali (guardian) ki ijazat ke beghair Mut’a ya nikah hota hai to woh sahi nahin hoga aur woh fir ek tarah hai zina hi hoga.

Islam ke according shadi main aane wali tama rukawaten aur rusumat ki koi haisiat nahin hai eh hamari khud ki banayee huee rasmen aur rules hain lehaza agar kisi ko shadi karna hai to use chahiye ke woh himmat dikhaye aur in tamam obstacles ko door kare aur shadi ko anjaam de.
Yahan tak ke Quran ki Ayat hai ke insan shadi main apne zariya e mash (sustenance) ki bhi parwah na kare balle Allah agar woh madar hai to apne Fazl se uske maldar bana dega. Lehaza eh tama mushkilat hamari khud ki banayee huee hain warna Deen ko simple rasta dikha raha hai magar hamne hi use complicated bana diya hai.

Apni tanhai ko paak kaise kren aur kaise kamaal tk pounchen?

[Al-Alaq:14]:
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
Does he, then, not know that God sees [all]?
Allah knows whatever we do or even think.
But as long as we are alive, the door of repentance is open. Isteghfar is the only key to achieve Allah’s acceptance in this Duniya and not committing same act again and again.
May Allah forgive all of us.

I want to get some guidance regarding a good Dua for rizq. My husband has been jobless for 1.5 years and there is no response from organizations where he send his CV.

First of all just reciting and reading Quran has so much benefit in it.
The Prophet(saww) said “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah(good deed) from it, and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is a letter , rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.”

So with this being mentioned everyone should try to incorporate Quran in their lives and learn from it. Just try it at least once and slowly build upon it. The religion of Islam is powerful so don’t overdo it and burn yourself out, rather take a gradual process to do this.
So here is a hadith on the benefits of Surah Waqiah:
The Prophet(SAWW) said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’.

The Prophet(SAWW) said, ‘Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children.'

What’s the reason of ghaibate Imam Zamana?

https://www.al-islam.org/fazail-ul-mahdi-ali-akbar-talaafi/reasons-occultation-imam-mahdi-aj

Meri aik dost hai. Wo aik saal se apna husband se alag ha. Na usk husband apna sath rakhty na divirce kerty. Wo aik larky se shadi kerna chati but unk bech sex ho giya aik 2 bar ab 2 na touba ker li divorce k bad kiya wo shadi ker sakty k nai?

Nahin ab woh apas main shadi nahin kar sakte woh log hamesha ke liye ek Dosre ke liye Haram ho chuke hain. Allah unki Hidayat kare aur jo unhone Gunah e Kabira anjam diya hai Allah unko nah kare. But eh unhone bahot hi barha jurm kar dala. Woh chahti to Talaq Khula le leti agar unka shauhar Talaq nahin de raha tha. Bahot se raste nikal aate hain agar insan Allah se madad hasil kare.

Dekhiye jahan tak gunah ka mamla hai woh Allah aur bande ke darmiyan hai Allah bahot karim hai aur uski Rahmat aur karam se na Umeedi kufr hai.
Magar to rule hai woh apni jagah sabit hai kam as kam us larke se ab unki shadi mumkin nahin hai

Agar hamare kuch chutte hue roze hai mannati to kya hum ek roze pe 2 alag alag niyat kar sakte hai?

Jitne bhi roze aapne Nazr (mannat) ke taur per niyyat kiye hain utne aapko rakhna hai aur to alag alag chizon ka roza ek roze ki niyyat se nahin rakh sakte.

I live in a city where there is no sound of azan and only countable masjids that recite azan only within their area of masjid. I wanted to ask if i have to wait for the azan to happen in the masjid even though I can’t physically hear it to be able to read Fajr? Or can i read it as soon as I finish praying tahajjud and it is time for Fajr? I have been doing the latter just wanted to confirm what is the ruling if you can’t physically hear the azan do you still have to wait even though the time of Fajr has started? And is it any different for men or women?

The timing for any Namaz has no relation with azan that azan has said or not
Each prayers timing is different based on when the time for any Salat has set in then it’s mustahab (recommended) first we say azan and then iqamah and then we start our Salat.
Therefore if you can’t hear azan it doesn’t meant you can’t start your Fajr Salat. The best thing which we all do in the western world where it is not permitted to call Azan on the loudspeaker, we cam have an azan app in our mobile phone so if you have fixed it according to your city it will start automatically calling azan right before every Namaz.
Also there is no difference in Namaz timing for men and woman.

My question is a person believes that his one of the relatives has done black magic on him after which he is suffering from diseases and abnormalities, he prayed a lot but can’t able to get rid of the situation, he went to the Hussain tekri(India) but still facing issues.
1. What should he do in this situation
2. He also stopped talking and keeping any kind of relation with those who done this magic. Is this right that he broke the relations?

Please convince him to see a good doctor or have some session with a psychiatric. Offer his Salat and do Ebadat go to the Majalis and don’t listen nonsense about black magic and witchcraft etc… Seek help from Allah and follow the lives of Holy Prophet (saww) and his emasculate progeny.
May Almighty Allah guide all of us and remove superstitious thoughts from our minds.

I am suffering from lack of sprituality and I dont have an ostad who can guide me on the path of spritual wayfaring

The simple way to have spirituality in once life is to offer your Salat (5 daily Salat) on time and avoid to commit anything which is Haram is Islam. For further details you may ask your questions in detail.

I have a question concerning the nature and the environment. Is there any hadiths that talk about the beauty of Nature or to protect it?

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, has stated three points about the preservation and protection of nature:
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said:
قال صلى‏ الله‏ عليه‏ و آله:
لاتُحرِقُوا النَّخلَ و لاتُغرِقوهُ بِالماءِ و لاتَقطَعُوا شَجَرَةً مُثمِرَةً و لاتُحرِقُوا زَرعا لأِنَّكُم لاتَدرونَ لَعَلَّكُم تَحتاجُونَ إلَيهِ.

«اصول کافی، جلد5، صفحه 29»

“Do not burn the palm and do not immerse it in water. Do not cut down the fertile tree. And do not burn the crops; Because you do not know, you may need it in the future.”
There are many hadiths and saying in this regard you may search oh Google just type please, Saying of Prophet (saww) regarding nature and its importance” like that.

What is the difference between Wilayat of Imam Ali and Taqleed

Wilayat of Ameer al Momenin is related to our faith and all our actions ( including ebadaat (worships)and Mamelat (dealings) are depending upon the Wilayat of Ali (a.s).
While Taqleed is a system where you can find the guide lines of the Islamic Shariya in order to perform your ebadaat and Mamlaat in a correct and appropriate manner.

People are making me depressed and their words putting a phobia of death on me. I know everyone must die but if someone is supposed to die tomorrow,he will die today just by thinking this. So please help me and give me appropriate reply whether someone negative words or prayers regarding life span get accepted or not?

You should not be worry at all. There are millions Muslims living in the Western countries and thousand are extremely strong in their faith than any Asian and Muslims country.

The most important thing regarding any believer is his/her strong faith in Allah. If your faith is strong nothing will defeat you.

The Holy Quran says:

[Ar-Rad:28]:
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

Those who believe, and whose hearts find their rest in the remembrance of God - for, verily, in the remembrance of God [men's] hearts do find their rest-:

So the only thing which can give you peace and tranquillity is the remembrance of Allah (swt).

It’s Allah favor upon humans that we don’t know what would happen in near future. Or we don’t have knowledge of Unseen. Therefore please don’t pay attention what people are saying.

At last don’t think negative. Life and death is in the authority of Allah and what you are eating and doing, as in your actions, are in your authority. Human being is the best creation of Allah and Allah has given infinite power to the Human so he can manage and tackle any situation in his life.
May Allah ease your ways and protect you from all evil powers.
One kind recommendation if you offer you Salat on time you will overcome everthing Inshallah in your life.

Which book should I read to get more knowledge on everything about Islam?

You please go through this link you will find many books:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Shia_books

I have written my exams and I want to pray for success in all the papers I don’t want to fail because I did my best. The rest is unto Allah I want him to intervene

What should say my brother you have already said that you have done efforts now hope Inshallah Allah will give you success.
Holy Quran says:

[An-Najm:39]:
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for;
In the light of this very verse of the Holy Quran our duty is to TRY and results are is the Hands of Allah so don’t worry and have hope in Him.

There is a dua taught by Hz. Zahra (sa) called "Chehle Kileed" – 40 keys. Would you be having it in Arabic with English Translation?

I am a student who is in his final year of high school and I wish to go for howza to become a learned jurist. Though, due the situation I am in it is difficult for me to make a decision on when to go for howza. Either one of the two ways:
-Finish my college then leave for howza studies
-Finish my college then further pursue my university then leave for howza studies
Neither me nor my parents know which which decision could be of more benefit so if you can please shed light on this matter and advise me. My parents say that i have to be literate as of the current era and do not conflict with the matter that i may be able to save up money for my university tuition then go for howza immediately after college. Which will allow me to to take care of myself in the future along with the help of my brothers and parents. They also believe that if i were to go for university first my degree would not be of much use due to me having been studied in howza. I would request your humbled advice

Whether you study at Hawza or at university is not that much important rather you have to maintain your religion and religious values. Of course Hawza is a better place where you could do that easily if you have selected the right wing. Going Hawza just after high school is neither possible nor a good a good idea. But if you are planning to the go there it’s better to join Hawza after your intermediate certification atleast. But if you can afford and manage your responsibilities for your family, then moving to Hawza at this stage is worth because you can join you hawza without any tension regarding your economic situation. Allah is the Best planner.

These discussions relate to you if you are planning to go to Qom (Islamic Seminary) then it would work otherwise if you are planning to join any local Hawza inside the Pakistan then it better to join it in your young age.

I had a doubt for the supplication to be given on Eid on adha.
I just wanted to know if the qurbani is mandatory on both of us? Or just the husband as he is the head of the family.

Qurbani is only wajib for a person who has performed his / her Hajj. Other than that all the quranic we do at our homes is Mustahab ( recommended). Therefore anyone can do that.

1) I have slept in morning and when I woke up I realized that my pants is wet 10 minutes after I woke up. The first thing that comes to my mind that I suspect that is wet dream because but in fact there is no semen in my private parts nor do I know and feel that I have ejaculated and also I do not have lustful dreams. Is it considered najis?

2) Some of my things have been najis and have mixed with non najis things, and because of that I don’t know which is najis or not. What is your take on that?

1) If you’re not sure and there is no sign of wet dream then there is nothing on you. Because sometimes it happens while there is no trace of wet dreams. But if you have doubt and not sure then do Ghusl

2) Clean your all things which has been mixed with other najis things.

I went to the bathroom and a drop of urine splashed on my pants. I was lazy and decided to change later and went instead on the computer. A while later I realised that I touched the spot with my hand and after I had also touched the keyboard,mouse phone, headset and charger are all the items that I had touched impure and in need of cleaning or is waswas playing with me?

Nothing to do with this it’s just a matter of doubt. So don’t worry about that.

I have a question concerning going on holidays. I heard that some scholars say that going on holiday to a non-Muslim country is not allowed. This summer I want to travel to a European country for 3 days, just to do some sightseeing etc. I live in a non-Islamic country myself. My intentions are pure and I am not planning on doing anything that might be considered Haram. I’ll of course also adhere to my prayers. Is it allowed to travel to a non-Muslim country such as Italy for example?

Yes there is no such restrictions exists in Shariya unless a person has fear to commit a Gunah that you have already mentioned that your intention is pure, So there is no objection in doing that.

I have issue regarding my first Child. He has weak and feeble bones/body. Most are times he falls down while walking or carrying even lighter things his peers could bear. I need a prayer or anything I can use, for him to be strong enough.

This is the dua narrated from Imam Jaffer bin Muhammad As Sadiq (a.s) please recite 3 time this Dua and rub over his legs May Allah give him fast and complete recovery(Ameen)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ

فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ أَنْ تَشْفِيَنِي بِشِفَائِكَ وَ تُدَاوِيَنِي بِدَوَائِكَ وَ تُعَافِيَنِي
مِنْ بَلَائِكَ.
Also if your child can recite please teach him otherwise you constantly read these line for him:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم یا منزل الشفا و یذهب الداء صل علی محمد و اله و انزل علی وجهی الشفاء

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم یا هو یا من هو یا من لیس الا هو صل علی محمد و آل محمد
One small zikr always chant :
يا غفور
You may write above dua on a piece of paper as a amulets and put it in his arm.

Should a woman do any job?

In Islam the dignoty of a believer had been emphasised and given much more importance. Therefore any job or work which can cause a type of disrespect and promotes immodesty for sure would not be permitted for both men and woman. So yes a woman can do any job which can maintain her dignity and modesty. Even it could be true for men also but there are certain fields where men are more fitted for than the women.

How did Lady Fatima SA perform her social responsibilities? Kindly share some examples?

As you know at that time the custom and system of the society was bit different from today but of course she was doing many things indirectly in her family which was of course related to a society for example teaching her children, assisting her husband by advising and helping him both mentally and physically. Most importantly, she created a nice and peaceful atmosphere inside the house so that Imam Ali (a.s) could deal his outside duties without any worry.

Today with the culture that a woman should also work and earn some money so that a family can be run easily, one can easily find the consequences of this in the western world where one and half year child a goes to a “daycare” and having an atmosphere totally against the principles of Islam and later on the same child has a different mind set then one can realise what is the importance of a mother and her role in a family. Unfortunately today if you discuss this with anybody people would say you are backwards and you won’t get success with this thought in near future. But again there is a question which type of future we are looking for, a robotic future or a spiritually strong generation?

Therefore we can say Lady Fatima (s.a) when she came to Imam Ali(a.s) the day one she said O Ali from now you deal outside affairs and I’ll will inside affairs. This is the best way we can have a balanced generation.

Is it permissable for me to pray in a handicap toilet when I am at university instead of waiting 2-3 hours before praying my zhur and asr prayer at home (Its a big rest room, so Im not really close to the toilet). I know that praying my prayers on time is very important but I do not have anywhere else I can pray at the moment. Should I wait til I come home, or pray at school in the restrooms?

Technically if the place of Salat is Pak ( Islamically Pak) then it’s ok to offer ones Salat their but in your case you should offer your Zohr prayers at home and not in a washroom. If you could pray your Salat in school’s or College’s field or sports ground then please do so rather than just wait till you get home.

I was wondering if Kalams are considered to be haram

As long as anything which is not mixed with a music which is called an amusement music and has nothing against the basic teachings of Islam then there is no objection to listen it.

Do Insects like flies and mosquitoes in the toilet take me impure?

Each time I use the toilet, if an Insect ( Mosquito or Fly) sits on my clothes or my skin I feel really very dirty.

Because these insects sit on impure substance like feaces, urine, toilet bowl water etc and if sits on me, do I turn impure?

No, they can’t make you and your clothes Najis.

My mind keeps wandering in prayers. Because of this reason I keep forgetting if I recited tashhahud after 2nd rakat (in a 4 rakat namaz). I usually recite the prayers again (if I feel I forgot the tashhahud) but want to know if I don't pray again will that be ok? What is the ruling?

If you get doubt whether you have recited Tashahhud or not and remembers before the Ruku for next Rakat sit down and recite it but if you have done Ruku ,then after completion of Salat ( Tashahhud and salam ) without doing anything which can break your Salat, perform two Sajdah ( with the Niyyat of Sajdah e sahv) and again recite Tashahhud and salm and finish your Namaz. No need to pray again.

I had a question regarding salat. Once I have completed all my fardh prayers of the day, or if I am at a stage during the day where it isn’t time for the next salat , what should my niyya be and how many rakaa should I pray if I just feel like praying ?

After daily Wajib prayers there are another 23 Rakats which we call Nafila prayers.
In this concern there are 8 Rakats (2x4) Nafiala of Zohr which should be offered before Zohr Azan.
Same way there are another 8 (2x4) Rakats before Asr prayer.
After Maghrib there are 4 (2x2) Raka’at as a Nafila should be offered.
After Isha there are 2 Rakats which has to be offered while sitting.
There are 2 Rakats after Fajr prayer should be recited as a Nafila.
And there are 11 Rakats known as Salatul Layl.
So all these Nafila Namaz are Mustahab and have this flexibility to be offered other than it’s prescribed time in case someone has not offered them.

1. If I wipe my head and after the wiping, I see a fibre (from clothing) can I wipe it off on my trousers or shirt and then wipe my feet?

2. If there’s something on my hands before I wipe my feet but it does not block the touching/contact between the my hands and feet, can I wipe my feet and would my wudhu be valid?

1- No need to wipe it off from your hand and if you are that by wiping it off on your trousers you will not loose the wetness from your hand then ok otherwise if by rubbing it you have more wetness on your palm then your masah will be not in order.
2- If that thing is not any liquid and very insignificant then it’s ok.

1) I wanted to ask you why doesn't Allah list Imamah as one of the qualities of the righteous?

2.177:

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.

2) Does the part where Allah says : "and who establishes the prayer and gives zakah"

Does this have anything to do with Imam Imam Ali(as)?

1) If you see the verse 2:177 it says that 'if you believe in Prophets'
Now let me ask please how do we believe and follow the Prophets?
The answer is Of course by what they have left for us?
When Quran asked Oh Prophet tell them “ I don’t ask any reward from you for my services except you show love to our Ahlulbayt". Then again question who are Ahlulbayt? And will tell who are they?
For sure Prophet himself. Therefore if it has not mentioned directly about the Aimmah but Prophet he himself is a proof for us. But we have many traditions where it has said about Aimmah and many Verses of Quran also.

2) Yes for sure no one in Islamic History deserves other that Imam Ali (a.s) for this ayah

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

Only Allah is your Vali and His Apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.(5:55)

If anyone misses fajr, what can one do to make up for it?

Any missed prayer must be offered as a qadha later on. But as for as being awake at the time of Salat concern you should set an alarm recite Surah al Kahf and appoint anyone who can help you to wake up.

I felt wetness on my penis and I touched the tip with my finger and got it on my finger and instinctively rubbed it on my fingers to check if it was madhiy until I could not feel the liquid anymore. I guess it dissolved. I felt like it was madhiy. I was going to go wash it in a bit because I was working. But I forgot and it stayed on my fingers. And before I washed it I am sure I touched some other surfaces such as my earphones and laptop by mistake. Do I have to clean those even though I could not feel the liquid on my fingers anymore and it was dry?

The transparent sticky fluid comes out when a person is sexually excited is pak and can’t make other things najis therefore if you have not washed it it’s ok but just for hygiene point of view it has to be washed.

Islam mai wife/husband mai sexual intercourse ka kya hukm hai?
Matalbh 1 mahine mai ekh baar ya 2 mahine mai?
Limit kitni hai? Matalbh issey zyada nhi Karna Chahiye ?

Jahan tak wife ke sath hambistari ka sawal hai ziyada ki koi limit nahin hai agar uski wife ya husband dono main se kisi ek ko koi aitraz nahin hai. Magar iske liye kaha gaya hai ke 4 months se ziyada Days ka gap nahin hona chahiye.

I want to know that if I recite sura jinn after fajr salah for 40 days , will my wish be fulfilled?

No one can give you this guarantee. But of course if your intention is sincerely and exclusively seeking the closeness and pleasure of Allah (swt) then for sure He will reward you both in this world hand hereafter.

I was born in XXX. Since I became Baligh till year XXX I used to pray but I was not punctual with my prayers. Some days I prayed all five and some days I prayed two three and some days I prayed none. Problem is that I don’t remembers exactly how many prayers I prayed and how many I missed from baligh age till XXX. How can I calculate how many days or prayers I need to make up?
From XXX when I performed Hajj till now I have been praying and did not miss any prayers
Calculation I need is from baligh age till XXX. Being born in XXX

Shariyat has give a us the option that whatever calculation you have done even you can accept the minimum number in this case and do it again, I mean perform it’s Qaza. So if you guess that for example all total your 11 or 14 years Namaz has been leftover then you can choose 11 years not the highest number that was 13.
Now you please calculate from XXX till XXX because only you know your way of life and schedule you lived with that so you please do calculations. Of course you can’t get exact nunmber or year but as I said if you reached to 2 figures you may choose the least one.

For example 50%-60% Namaz you have prayed in these years from XXX till XXX. Therefore if you have prayed your 50% salat in these 25 years, it means around 12 years Namaz is remaining on your shoulders. You can calculate in this way I hope you will reach to a satisfactory Numbers.

Laziness or procrastination ko kese tackle karhein?

We have to ask ourselves why and when a person becomes lazy? Normally those people who don’t have faith and hope becomes lazy. Because a true believer is a person who has a clear vision and goal for his life. Ofcourse our life is nothing but all our small and big tasks which we have in our day to day life. Also a person who is lazy it means he has not realized that the opportunity he has right now can go away from him anytime therefore if he himself would leave this world for sure he might not get another chance to that task. Therefore if we live with this vision that our life is short and unpredictable we can get opportunity once and not twice never ever then we will not be lazy anymore.

In the past few years I was committing a very sinful act (masturbation) this year I was able to stopped doing but I started committing it again. Now I also feel less guilt after committing this sinful act. I want to get out of this darkness can you tell me what I should do to get rid of this act and to build up my faith and patience?

Any addiction either good or bad it takes time to change it or come out from that. But the key solution is your firm determination so if you are weak in your decision it will be very difficult to leave it. Rely on Allah and continuously seek His help and make it clear that it’s very important for your life’s. Don’t worry and do few more things practically after asking help from Allah (swt)
1- Don’t be alone in a room

Would my mothers half sister be my mahram?

Yes she is mahram same as your mother’s real sister.

If we at some point sent a video to a friend of a scholar or lecturer that we no longer agree with necessarily, should we warn the friend about our opinion now? In fear that the video sent in the past might misguide the individual?

If it’s possible for you please must do it.

Can we make توبة during our regular obligatory prayers?
I tend to at the end of my prayers, is that okay? Or must I recite the dua for توبة

There is no specific time and place for doing Tauba. Actually Tauba is not an act which can be performed it’s meant to be returned to the originality. In other words Tauba means being regretted and not committing that act and other sinful act again.

I was trying to catch a fly and accidentally killed it unfortunately, what is the stance in killing insects?

Nothing to worry about it as you have not done this as a fun.

I was asked a question as to why wasn’t the holy Quran sent down first

We know everything in this world goes systematically and in planned way either it is from Allah (swt) or we human beings do in our day to day life. For example there was a day we had windows 1998 but now we are using windows 10 so if you ask why computer engineer didn’t make 2010 version in his first attempt.

Of course here you can say Allah does not work like an engineer because Allah knows everything but yes true Allah knows everything since it’s beginning but what about the creation? We do not have the capacity and capability that’s why we need to improve our understanding and capabilities of knowledge. Quran is the final book therefore it must be revealed finally and with a messenger who is also the final messenger.

I’ve always had a few questions about mutah.

Can you have more than one?

If the person believes in God but not from people of the book?

No it’s not allowed to have temporary marriage other than Muslims and the people of the Book.

(Although I would try to cover them as much as possible) I have some tattoos on my wrist from my jahil youth days and I want to study Howza in Qom InshAllah. I know that scholars must adopt a certain dress and behavior. I was worried my tattoos would prevent me from becoming a student of knowledge. Would it?

No not at all these all are whispers of Shaitan. You must follow what you have determined about your life in the way of Allah. Don’t think what people will say. Hawza has long vision nobody will bother you inshallah.

Sometimes I feel that all these things are obligatory in Muslims, then why Allah swt clearly did not mention it in Qur'an or guided us in the same so we could be at least same in praying our Lord as we dont have any difference in believing a Same God Allah swt.?

Quran is a book of guidance and everything has been mentioned in Quran for our guidance. But there is other thing that is most important to know and normally people especially those who follow Banu Ummaiyyah have created that Quran is enough for us and left Prophet and his Holy Households aside and that is the major mistake of Muslim ummah. Allah says in the Quran many many times that He has appointed these authorities as a role model for us so we could lead our life accordingly. Now we should not ignore traditions of Prophet and Imams, there is no difference between Quran and their traditions As FAR AS ITS CREDIBILITY IS CONCERNED. Because if any one has doubt in them it means he has also doubted in Quran also. And all these guidelines of religion we can only find in their traditions only so both are important. Holy Prophet has said and this Hadith is everywhere in Shia Sunni books that he is leaving two important things one is Quran and other is his Ahlulbayt if anyone holds both, he will get salvation otherwise will be perished.

If they question me about why you do not fold yout hands and what you kept to pray for sajda, what should I answer?

Why do the Shi‘ah prostrate on turbah {dried clay}?


Reply: Some think that prostration on the earth or turbah taken from the burial site of martyrs is tantamount to worshipping it and consider it a form of polytheism {shirk}.

In reply to this question, it must be noted that there is a great difference between the phrase, “as-sujud lillah” {prostration for Allah}, and “as-sujud ‘ala’l-ard” {prostration on earth}. The problem of the mentioned people is that they fail to distinguish between the meanings of the two phrases.

It is clear that the meaning of “as-sujud lillah” is “prostration for the sake of Allah” while “as-sujud ‘ala’l-ard” means “prostration on the earth”. In other words, by prostrating on earth we prostrate for the sake of God, and in principle, all Muslims of the world prostrate on something for the sake of God. All pilgrims to the House of God prostrate on the stones of Masjid al-Haram in the same way but their aim is prostrating for the sake of God.

Given this, it becomes clear that prostration on earth, plant byproduct, etc. does not mean worshipping them but it means prostrating for the sake of God and worshipping Him by lowering oneself and getting close to earth. Similarly, it becomes clear that prostration on turbah is different from prostration for turbah.

On one hand, the Holy Qur’an states:

"ولله يسجد من في السموات والأرض."

“To Allah prostrates whoever there is in the heavens and the earth.”1

Also, the Holy Prophet (S) says:

”جُعِلَتْ لِيَ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِداً وَ طَهُوْراً.“

“The (pure) earth has been made for me as a place of prostration and an agent of purification.”
Therefore, “prostration for God” and “prostration on earth or turbah” are not only far from being inconsistent but they agree with each other completely. This is because prostration on earth or plant byproduct represents the highest form of meekness and humbleness before the One and Only God.
In order to clarify the Shi‘ah view, it is worth pointing to part of a speech by our great leader—Imam as-Sadiq (‘a):

عن هشام ابن الحكم قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله: أخبرني عما يجوز السجود عليه وعمّا لا يجوز؟ قال: السجود لا يجوز إلا على الأرض أو ما أنبتت الأرض إلا ما أكل أو لبس. فقلت له جعلت فداك ما العلّة في ذلك؟ قال لأن السجود هو الخضوع لله عز وجلّ فلا ينبغي أن يكون على ما يؤكل و يلبس لأن أبناء الدنيا عبيد ما يأكلون ويلبسون. الساجد في سجوده في عبادة الله عز وجلّ فلا ينبغي أن يضع جبهته في سجوده على معبود أبناء الدنيا الذين اغتروا بغرورها. والسجود على الأرض أفضل لأنه أبلغ في التواضع والخضوع لله عز وجلّ.

Hisham ibn al-Hakam says: “I asked Abu Abd Allah (Imam as-Sadiq) (‘a) regarding the things on which one is allowed to prostrate and the things on which one is not allowed to prostrate.” The Imam said: “Prostration is permissible only on earth and whatever grows in it excluding the edible and wearable.” I asked: “May I be your ransom! What is the reason?”

He replied: “In prostration one shows humility and obeisance to God, the Honorable and Glorious, and so it is not proper to perform it on anything edible or wearable because materialists are slaves to things which they eat and wear while in prostration man is in a state of worshipping God, the Honorable and Glorious.

Thus, it is not appropriate for one to place his forehead on something which stubborn materialists worship. Prostration on earth is the best way of prostration because it is the most appropriate way of showing humility and meekness to God, the Honorable and Glorious.2

This lucid statement clearly testifies that prostration on earth is performed as the most suitable way of expressing humility and meekness to the One and Only God.

Also, this question may be posed: Why do the Shi‘ah prostrate only on earth or some plant byproducts and why do they not prostrate on other things?

The reply is: Just as the act of worship should emanate from the sacred law of Islam, its conditions, parts and ways of performance should be explained in the light of the Holy Prophet’s (S) words and actions; for, the Messenger of Allah (S), according to the Holy Qur’an, is an exemplar of excellence for the entire humanity.

Now, we shall state some Islamic traditions {ahadith} that elucidate the conduct and lifestyle of the Prophet (S)—all of which indicate that the Prophet (S) used to prostrate on pure earth and on things that grow from it including straw mat, which is exactly the same method which the Shi‘ah follow:

1. A group of hadith scholars {muhaddithun} recount the statement of the Prophet (S) in which he defines the earth as the place of his prostration, when he says:

”جُعِلَتْ لِيَ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِداً وَ طَهُوْراً.“

“The (pure) earth has been made for me as a place of prostration and an agent of purification.”3
From the word “ja‘ala” {“made”} which is used here to have a legal and legislative sense, meaning (“ordained”), we understand that this issue is a decree ordained by the Divine for the followers of Islam to abide by. This proves the legitimacy of prostration on earth, stone, and some other parts of the ground.

2. A group of narrations verify the fact that the Holy Prophet (S) used to order the Muslims to place their forehead on (pure) earth while prostrating. Umm Salamah, a spouse of the Prophet (S), narrates that the Prophet (S) said:

"تراب وجهك لله."

“Place your face for the sake of Allah on earth.”4

And from the word “tarrib” in the statement of the Prophet (S), two points can be inferred; one is that at the time of prostration one should place his forehead on “turab”, i.e. dust; and the other is that this act is a binding order because the word “tarrib” which comes from “turab” meaning “dust” has been expressed in the form of command.

3. The conduct of the Holy Prophet (S) in this respect is another vivid proof and a good guide for the Muslims. Wa’il ibn Hajar says:

"رأيت النبيّ صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم – إذا سجدا وضع جبهته وأنفه على الأرض."

“I noticed that whenever the Prophet (S) prostrated, he would place his forehead and nose on the earth.”5
Anas ibn Malik, Ibn al-‘Abbas, some spouses of the Prophet (S) such as ‘A’ishah and Umm Salamah and a large group of muhaddithun thus narrate:

"كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم يُصلّي على الخمرة."

“The Messenger of Allah (S) used to prostrate on khumrah (a mat made from palm fibers).”6
Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, a Companion of the Messenger of the Allah (S), says:

"دخلت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم وهو يصلّي على حصير."

“Once I came to the Messenger of Allah (S) and saw him praying on a straw mat.”7
This statement is another proof which supports the Shi‘ah view that prostration on whatever grows in the earth other than what is eaten or worn is permissible.

4. The sayings and actions of the Companions and the Followers {tabi‘un} of the Prophet (S) also affirm this Sunnah:
Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Ansari says:

"كنت أصلي الظهر مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم فأخذ قبضة من الحصاء لتبرد في كفّي اضعها لجبهتي أسجد عليها لشدة الحرّ."

I used to perform noon {zuhr} prayer with the Messenger of Allah (S). Because it was very hot I used to take a handful of small gravel, keep it in my hand till it got cool, and place my forehead on it for prostration.8

Then, the narrator adds: “If prostration on the garment worn by someone were permissible, it would be easier than keeping a gravel (in one’s hand).

Ibn Sa‘d (d. 209 AH), in his book, At-Tabaqat al-Kubra, thus writes:

"كان مسروق إذا خرج يخرج بلبنة يسجد عليها في السفينة."

“Whenever Masruq (ibn Ajda‘) traveled, he used to keep a mud-brick with him on which to prostrate while onboard the ship.”9

It is necessary to note that Masruq ibn Ajda‘ was one of the Followers and a companion of Ibn Mas‘ud, and the author of At-Tabaqat al-Kubra considers him among those in the first class of the Kufans after the Prophet (S) and among those who narrated from Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, Uthman, ‘Ali, and ‘Abd Allah ibn Mas‘ud.

This explicit statement establishes the groundlessness of the claim that bringing along a piece of turbah {dried clay} is an act of polytheism and innovation in religion {bid‘ah} and makes clear that the forerunners in the history of Islam used to prostrate like that also.10
Nafi‘ says:

"إن ابن عمر كان إذا سجد وعليه العمامة يرفعها حتَّى يضع جبهته بالأرض."

“Whenever (‘Abd Allah) ibn ‘Umar prostrated, he removed his turban so as to place his forehead on the ground.”11
Rizin says:

"كتب إليّ عليّ بن عبد الله بن عباس رضى الله عليه أن ابعث إليّ بلوح من أحجار المروة أسجد عليه."

“‘Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to me: ‘Send me a tablet of the stones of Mount Marwah so that I may prostrate on it.”12

5. Also, hadith scholars narrate that the Holy Prophet (S) has prohibited people from placing part of their turbans between their forehead and the ground while prostrating.
Salih as-Saba’i says:

"إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم رأى رجلاً يسجد بجنبه قد أعتم على جبهته فسحر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم عن جبهته."

Once the Messenger of Allah (S) saw a person prostrating beside him, with his turban covering his forehead. The Messenger of Allah (S) removed the turban from the person’s forehead.13
‘Ayyad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Qarashi says:

"رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وأله وسلم رجلاً يسجد على كور عمامته فأوما بيده: إرفع عمامتك وأومأ إلى جبهته."

“The Messenger of Allah (S) saw a person prostrating on part of his turban, so he gestured to him to remove (that part of) the turban, pointing to his forehead.”14

From these traditions it becomes clear that in the time of the Holy Prophet (S) the need to prostrate on earth was beyond dispute and it was such that if one of the Muslims put part of his turban between his forehead and the ground, he would be prohibited by the Prophet (S) from doing so.

6. The infallible Imams followed by the Shi‘ah who, according to the Hadith ath-Thaqalayn, are the inseparable peer of the Qur’an, as well as members of the Prophet’s Household {Ahl al-Bayt}, emphasize this fact in their speeches:
Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) says:

"السجود على الأرض فريضة وعلى الخمرة سنة."

“Prostration on the earth is obligatory while prostrating on a straw mat is a sunnah.”15
He (‘a) also says:

"السجود لا يجوز على الأرض أو على ما أنبتت الأرض إلا ما أكل أو لبس."

“It is not permissible to prostrate on anything except the earth or what grows in it excluding that which is eaten or worn.”16

Conclusion
From the aggregate of the stated proofs, it becomes very clear that not only the traditions of the Ahl al-Bayt (‘a) but also the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (S) and the actions of his Companions and Followers {Tabi‘un} testify to the necessity of prostrating on the earth and what grows in it (excluding that which is worn and eaten).

In addition, the permissibility of prostration on the mentioned things is definite whereas the permissibility of prostration on other things is doubtful and disputable. Therefore, by precaution—which is the way to attain deliverance and uprightness—it is appropriate to prostrate on the mentioned things only.

Finally, it should be noted that this discussion is a fiqhi question and differences among Muslim jurists concerning such minor issues are very common, but such differences should not be a source of concern because these differences are also common among the four Sunni fiqhi schools. For example, the Malikis say that placing the nose on the place of prostration is recommended {mustahabb} while the Hanbalis consider it obligatory {wajib} and say that ignoring it renders the prayer invalid {batil}.17

Why don’t Shias cross their arms during the prayers?
Is it not sad and depressing that the Muslims cannot even agree whether the Prophet crossed his arms or not in prayers? The Holy Prophet (S) prayed at least 40,000 compulsory (wajib) prayers in front of his sahabah over the 22 years of his prophethood, yet Muslims cannot agree what he did with his hands while he was praying.

Ahlul Sunnah internal divisions

It is important to note that the issue of arms is is not just a Shia-Sunni conflict; it is an intra-Ahlul Sunnah conflict too. The Malikis, one of the four Ahlul Sunnah schools of fiqh agree with the Shias in rejecting what they call “qabd” (or “grasping” - holding the left hand with the right), and opting for “sadl” (letting your hands drop at your side).

References from books of Ahlul Sunnah

Allama Ibn Rushd, the famous 12th century Sunni scholar of Muslim Spain, writes in his famous legal manual, Bidayat al-Mujtahid: “The reason behind their differing is that there are some ahadith narrating the way the Prophet prayed which did not mention him placing his right hand over his left, and on the other hand, it was reported that the people were ordered to do that.”

As for the traditions that Ibn Rushd is referring to, one of the most commonly cited is the hadith of Abu Humaid al-Sa’idi, narrated by Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud and Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 12, Hadith Number 791:

“Narrated by Muhammad ibn ‘Amr ibn ‘Ata’: “I was sitting with some of the companions of Allah’s Apostle and we were discussing about the way of praying of the Prophet. Abu Humaid as-Saidi said, “I remember the prayer of Allah’s Apostle better than any one of you. I saw him raising both his hands up to the level of the shoulders on saying the Takbir; and on bowing he placed his hands on both knees and bent his back straight, then he stood up straight from bowing till all the vertebrate took their normal positions.”

The statement “he stood up straight from bowing till all the vertebrate took their normal positions” is considered to be proof that the Holy Prophet (S) did not place his right hand over his left, for this is not the natural position at which the bones and limbs rest, rather, this is what is known as sadl - hands and arms at your side! If the Prophet placed his right hand over his left in the prayer, then (at least) one of the sahabah present would have objected to Abu Humaid’s failure to report that in his narration. But none of them did so!

In another tradition, the Sunni scholar Allama Ibn Hajr Asqalani writes that “…when the Prophet would stand for salat, he would raise both hands to his ears, and after saying Takbeer would then drop his hands.”

Drop, not cross, his hands! Sunni scholar Allama Ibn Abd al-Barr, in his book al-Tamheed, narrates: “Abdullah ibn al-Izar said, ‘I used to make tawaf around the Kabah with Said ibn al-Jubayr [a leading member of the second generation of companions, the Tabi’een]. Once, Said saw a man placing one hand over the other, so he went to him, separated his hands, and then returned to me.’”

So, to sum up, the Shia practice of leaving one’s arms at one’s side matches those of the sahabah and the children of the sahabah from the period straight after the Holy Prophet.

One final and important point to remember: not only do the Maliki Sunnis agree with the Shias on the uncrossing of the arms but even amongst the Hanafis, Hanbalis and Shafi’is there is no consensus on where exactly on the abdomen one’s hands should be held, or how exactly both men and women should hold their hands during the salah (prayer).

1) Why Mutaa is permissable in our fiqh its such an shameful act I guess?
Any Imam had done any mutaa? From where did this started? I dont think so its legit this is just to fullfill ones desire in unlawful way.
The question is why is it permissable when we have nikah infront of us? And from when this thing got started?

How we can assume any act shameful without knowing that correct logic and philosophy behind it. The act of Mut’a is not an act of someone who has just commanded out of his desire but we have many traditions regarding this act in Islamic traditions. But unfortunately the act of is introduced in our culture as an act of lust and because of few people as they misused this very laws for their lust nature and unlimited sexual desire normally we think that Mut’a is like an act of prostitution. While in Mut’a and Permanent marriage is that Mut’a has fixed time period while permanent marriage is for forever( unless a woman has not been divorced).

If something is considered permissible and its impropriety has been proven by the Qur'an or Sunnah, there is no need for approval of that act has been done by an infallible Imam or not, because the meaning of impropriety is that the obligee is free to do or leave it.
As Muslim Ibn Hajjaj has narrated in the correct narration that Ata’a said: Jabir Ibn Abdullah had returned from Umrah Hajj, we came to see him. People asked him about several things, including mut'a. He said: Yes, we have performed mut'ah in the time of the Prophet and Abu Bakr and Umar. The appearance of these narrations indicates that the companions performed mut'ah.
Of course, there are narrations about the practice of mut'ah by the Imams (as), such as the narration that Imam Ali (as) had a temporary marriage with a woman from the tribe of Bani Nahshl in Kufa.

‎قَالَ وَ رَوَى ابْنُ
‎بَابَوَیْهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ عَلِیّاً ع نَکَحَ امْرَأَةً بِالْکُوفَةِ مِنْ بَنِی نَهْشَلٍ مُتْعَةً.
وسائل الشیعه، ج 21، ص 10.

Why mutaa when theres nikah?

Now if a person is not in position to get marry permanently and the other side a woman is also either widow or divorced ( in many case doesn’t want economical help) but for sure she want to fulfill her sexual desire through Halal way. Where should this person go who can’t marry now permanently due to any genuine reason and that woman need someone who can satisfy her sexually while she is wealthy. Though should they go to prostitution or do adultery?
Therefore Mu’ta is only for this who can’t afford permanent marriage and for those who need to be fulfilled their sexual desire without any big arrangement or something like that. Or for example a person is outside form his town for months etc.
But in short Islam say if a person can control his desires and sure will not fall into the SIn then Ok he/she can wait for there permanent marriage.
Also Mut’a does not mean a person go and find a Virgin girl and have fun just because he has permission from Shariayt no it’s not the case, Mut’a rules should not be used for Lust and misused.
It has many conditions.
So itself Mut’a is not bad but very helpful in exceptional case same as Divorce is not itself bad and very helpful for those couples who can’t live together s there life is miserable and hell better they should get separated. That is why now other religions have also accepted Divorced systems while if you go in deep neither Hinduism have the concept of Divorce nor Christianity nor Buddhism etc...,

Can any girl visit rauza or dargah during her mensuration cycle? if yes, why? if no, why?

In the state of impurity a woman can’t go near the holy grave of Aimmah (a.s) but they can go other parts of the rauza and in India we don’t have any Imam’s Rauza. So if anyone wants to go inside the Dargah she can go but she should not touch anything which has Allah’s Prophets and Aimmah’s manes written on it.

Reason Aimmah’s grave have the same sacredness as a Mosque has in Islam but not the whole building of their Holy Shrine.

Are step mother in law or step father in law considered as mehram to husband and wife respectively.

Yes they both are mahram.

Me ek student hon aur meri adat hai ke me Islamic books parhta hon. Abhi recently mujhy shak bona shuru hogaya hai ke ye book me theek likha hai ke nahi?

1) To mujhy books parhte waqt kiya kiya aur kin kin cheezon pr dhiyan rakhna chahiye ?

2) AGR kisi ayatullah ya kisi Sahib e ama shaks ki book me parhon to Jo cheezen usme likhi hon us par yaqeen karon aur itebar karon ?

Jahan tak shak aur doubts ki baat hai aap koshish kijia mashoor aur authentic writer ki books parhen. Misal ke taur per agar aap Ayatullah shaheed Mutahari ki books parhen to aapko koi doubt nahin hoga Inshallah. Ayatullah Dast Ghaib Shirazi aur Ayatullah Ameeni, Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi in sabhi shakhsiyaton ki books English aur hindi aur Urdu main translate ho chuki hain.

Koshish kijia Islam se related books agar kisi non muslim ne likhi hai to bahot attention se parhen main Mana nahin karta magar aksar aise writer beech beech main aisi baten likhte hain jo hamare basics ke against hai.

1) If I cannot keep balance in Salah and move a little should I repeat the dhikr ? How much movement is allowe during qiraat? What about minor movements ?

2) How to treat dhan (doubt) in Salah. For example in sujood I am 90% sure it’s my first sajdah with the way I am praying and thinking

3) If there is spit or little voice from my mouth and it makes a little mouth sound do I have to do sajdah sahv?

4) Am I allowed to say Alhamdulilah after sura hamd when praying alone in dhohr and asr?

1) There is nothing wrong with minor movements.Also no need to repeat any zikr.

2) Concentrate in Namaz which need practice. You can’t get it at sudden but yes you could do that by keeping it in your practice.

3) If you have spoken something in Namaz knowingly and it has meaning then do Sajdah Sahve.

4) You are allowed to say Alhamdolillah but normally we dont say when we pray furada.

What does someone do if he used to do something in Salah that made sajdah sahw wajib but he did not know until he read the masail few months later?

If he was ignorant out of innocence, and therefore made mistakes without causing harm then his salat will be considered correct; and, consequently, his past prayers will also be considered correct.
But if he was ignorant out of negligence in learning the Islamic laws or did mistakes which do invalidate the act in general then there is no way to validate his past prayers. Then he has to repeat them all.

Mere friend ka accident hua tha tho mai ne bola tha agar wo thik hua tho I will fast 1 day. So use roze ka niyat kya kare? Wo niyat kaise rakhe. Can you say that sentence?

Niyyat Nazr ke roza ki hogi.

Waise to Niyyat ka zaban se doharana zaroori nahin hai magar is roza ke liye aapki Niyyat yahi hogi ke Raza main Rakhti/ Rakhta hoon Nazr ka Wajib Qurbatan ilallah.

I wanted to ask one related question related to my treatment (for depression). Although I am feeling much better, I found my treatment made me unable to express tearfulness in Majalis during Muharram. My heart felt the usual pain at the trials and tribulations of the Ahlul Bait, but I was physically unable to express my grief. Will this have any impact on my reward and Ibadaat during Muharram?

Not at all. Imam’s gham and grief doesn’t mean that if it has not been done at a specific place or time then it would not be considered as if you have not done lamentations for him. Rather it has different perspectives. If a person has all the conditions, he must join the gathering and visit the Husainiyya’s and masajids etc. But as you said your conditions did not permit you. Can you imagine our Imam e Masoom that he or they punish or curse someone who has not participated in their mourning gatherings, Not at all.

If one has no surplus at the end of the khums year, rather in the negative but he has a few items liable for khums,(gas in car, clothes he hasn't worn for that year etc) does he have to pay khums on these items?

If no cash amount remains with you as a surplus amount at the end of the year but still you have solid assets as a surplus, you are entitled to pay Khums for that thing after evaluating it but if you are not able to pay its value in cash it will remain as a dues on you and later on you have to pay it’s value.

I'm a by born Muslim and I did many sins and don't want to do anymore. Can I commit suicide in order to stop myself from doing sin?

All Prophets and Aimmah came to this world to be examined and show the right path to all Humanity. That is why as long as we are alive and live in this world we can change our destiny and seek Allah (swt) pleasure. But after death this blessing (life in this world) of Allah will be stopped. If you want to stop your life, it means you are giving away the opportunity which Allah (swt) has given to you. Suicide is a great Sin and after that there will not remain any chance to seek Allah’s pleasure. Also a person will not receive Prophets and Aimmah (a.s)’s intercession.
No one can say that his/her deeds will be accepted on the day of Judgement. We all live in this world with hope and fear that is the very sign of a believer. Therefore please believe in Allah’s mercy and ask forgiveness for your mistakes and live your life free of mind.

I'm curious are there any jinn prophets

No the shariyat and Prophets of Allah are the same for both Jinn and Human.

I want to know that are there all teachings of all other Prophets available on internet?

There are 25 Prophets who’s names has been mentioned in the Holy Quran out of 124000 Prophets. Therefore we don’t know rest of the Prophet’s names even. Quran is the final command of Allah (swt) and the religion of Islam is the final religion according to Quran for all Humanity up the the of Qiyamat. So if anyone wants to know about the teachings of all Prophets, Quran is the only source where we can find all their teachings and aim for coming in this world.

There are some situations when someone ask us to promise to not tell anything about a secret.
Then, if an other person ask me regarding this secret and I react and reply something to not break the promise.
Is this considered as lying?
Or it is permissible ?

Not breaking the promises is a sign of a believer. You may say frankly that you are not supposed to say anything about someone’s secrets instead of saying you don’t anything (because if you know something and say you don’t that would be lie). But it depends even in some situations you can deny specially if it’s related to someone’s life matter or can cause big distractions amongst the families or if you are carrying a sensitive post where your enemy wants to know your secrets so if you simply say at this moment that you know but you won’t tell, you might be tortured or see danger for you life so better to deny at all. But in normal situations amongst families issue, if such situations arise and the other party knows that you know something then you can boldly say yes I know but I can’t say due my religious restrictions rather than making some lame excuses and tell lies make it clear.

1) We did a minat with my sisters that we will read an entire Quran together. In my mind my niyyat was to read together turn by turn like I read first then she reads. In her mind her niyyat was that we finish the Quran but we read one sipara each of us separately.
So I explained her when we start so we followed my niyyat but its really hard that sometimes we miss it
Is it possible to change the niyyat and follow hers?

2) And for the days that we missed , do we have to do something in addition to isteghfar?

1) Yes you can do that.

2) Nothing to be worried about that. But it’s not harmful if you ask Allah forgiveness in any situation. Seeking Allah’s forgiveness is always appreciated. May Allah forgive all of us.

Humari mangetar jo hy woh abhi study kr rahi hy aur woh bhi ek nursing field mai. Aagr unka nursing course khatam hojata hy aur uske baad vo hospital mai naukri karte hy toh aur waha burkha jaiz nhi hy pr white kapde jo nursing k hote hy woh pahen sakte hy aur uske andar pura parda ho sakta hy toh phir burkha pahena jaiz hy?

Islam main Hijab ka concept in madhoon main bilkul nahin hai ke woman kaisa kapda pahne aur kia color ho. Hijab ka matlab hai ke Woman ki body fully covered ho aur uske body parts kapde ke uper se numaya na hon. Ab woh kapda kis color ka hona chahiye aur kis design ka hona chahiye it doesn’t matter. Lehaza agar kisi aurat ko job karna hai to woh Islamic dress code ko follow karte hue aur apni modesty ka khayal karte hue jo kam urfe aam ( public domain) main bura nahin hai aur aurat ki shan aur manzil at ke khilaf nahin hai to kar sakti hai.

Can I do the Court Marriage registration on the basis of Mutah as per our Islamic law? And will it be halal for me as per Islamic law to earn and set my career and everything?

Court marriage itself has no authenticity according to Islamic Shariya but yes if you can do Mut’a with all its conditions for example having consent of girl’s father or legal guardian then it would be same as a permanent marriage.

Why it is said that hadeed e chinni stone should not always be worn but only in the time of fear. What will happen if worn on regular basis? I saw it on internet. What is the benefits of wearing hadeed e chini and can wear all the time?

Internet is not the source of Islam. Ok we have books on internet related to Islam but you can’t follow shariat rule from what you see on internet. Also what we call benefits in Islam, this all goes to our amaal and action not with wearing some stone and ring. Focus on your Namaz and dua and zikr and obeyingyour parents and helping the poor. Also the most important is having the Love of Aimmah Taherin (a.s), having a solid belief in the Wilayat of Amiral Momenin Ali (a.s) and all Imams (a.s).
This stone and other thing like that has no value and will not help you on the day or Qiyamat except your deeds.

I had question about days like naik (good) and nahas (bad) days. Do they really matter for starting a work?

While we have few traditions in this regards but it’s not that completely one can’t do. The best thing if you want to be satisfied give alms ( Sadaqah) and do resume your work.

I have heard and read many times that reading dua ahad for forty mornings after namaz e fajr will for sure be in serving imam Mehdi army. I tried many times but one or other day I missed but still I would recite in zuhr. My question is does reading dua ahad even on zuhr or any other time will help joining Imam army?

Yes you can recite any time but please read it’s translation and try to read this Dua with the meaning and pledge has been created in this Dua.

Me and my family are shifting to a new house of rent. Can you please tell any dua I should recite for beginning a new journey there? And any specific amaal that I should do?

1-Imam Sadiq (AS) quoted the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) saying:
"Whoever builds houses, sacrifices fat sheep, and gives their meat to the poor, and says:
‎“اللَّهُمَّ اَدْحَرْ عَنّی مَرَدَهَ الجِنِّ وَ الإِنسِ وَ
‎الشَّیاطینِ، و بارِک لَنا فی بُیوتِنا”

2-The Messenger of God (PBUH) said to Imam Ali (AS):
"O Ali! Whenever you land somewhere,tell this verse (Dua) therefore you May the blessings of that prayer be bestowed on that house, and may its evil be expelled from you.

‎وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ
And say: O my Lord! cause me to disembark a blessed alighting, and Thou art the best to cause to alight.(23:29)

3- Another place also it has mentioned that before starting the construction of house one should say 25 times the verse 29 of Sura al-Mumenoon then start his work.

‎وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ
And say: O my Lord! cause me to disembark a blessed alighting, and Thou art the best to cause to alight.(Al Mumenoon23:29)
Also you may recite this verse :
[An-Noor:36]:
‎فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَن تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ
IN THE HOUSES [of worship] which God has allowed to be raised so that His name be remembered in them, there [are such as] extol His limitless glory at morn and evening –

Dua enter the new home:
As cannot count the blessings of Allah (swt) if we think about that, and Allah The Almighty completes the blessing upon us by granting us a new home, and one of the reasons for this blessing is for a person to mention the supplication of the new home and repeat it, and it is desirable for him to repeat some other prayers that has been brought by our beloved Prophet (saww). So should utter the meanings of God’s remembrance of entering and leaving and relying on Him, the Almighty, then He thanks Him, Glory be to Him, for His blessings, and among these supplications:

* بسم الله توكلنا، وبسم الله ولجنا، وبسم الله خرجنا، اللهم نسألك خير المولج وخير المخرج.
* اللهم احفظ بيتنا وبيوت المسلمين جميعا.
* اللهم نسألك البركة والخير والصلاح في منزلنا الجديد.
* اللهم اعطينا خير هذا البيت وقنا شره.
* اللهم بارك لنا في بيتنا هذا وأبعد عنا كل خبيث ومنكر.
* يا رب اجعل هذا البيت سعيد مباركا علينا وارزقنا الأمن والسلام به.
* اللهم بارك لنا فيما رزقتنا وأبعد عنا الحاسدين .
‎إذ أنه لا حول له ولا قوة في اقتنائه لهذا المنزل وإنما الله تعالى هو من أعطى ووهب، فكلما كان هذا هو شغله الشاغل وتفكيره الدائم، كلما زاده الله نِعمًا فوق النِعم وذلك وفقًا لموعوده سبحانه وتعالى أن يُزيد من يشكره ويُثيبه حيث قال تعالى:« لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ» (إبراهيم، 7).

1) Can you tell me a short dua (easy to remember) that we should recite it after our daily obligatory prayers. Whenever I finish my namaz I make dua for everyone saying the name of everyone & it consumes a lot of time so I was looking for a dua which includes evrything.

2) Reciting the Quran/or any Ziyarat on the mobile phone & reciting it on the book has the same reward?

3) If we pray nafil e hajaat (prostrating to Allah) & at the end in the dua we ask to any Holy Imam a.s, is it correct ? -What does doing 'hadiya' really mean ?

4) The shia way of namaz ends in the tasbi of Bibi Zahra (s.a), right ? Or is there any more sujood in the end after the tasbi ?

1- The best dua after every Wajib Namaz is Taqibaat of Namaz you may find in any app exam Dua.org or Shia Toolkit and Sahifa etc. Also no need to take everyone’s name you can hayat say I recite this Dua from my parents grand parents brothers and sisters and all those who has done favor upon me and all Momenin and Momenaat.

2- It has same Sawab there is no difference.

3- We can ask our dua and even we must ask our dua’s with the Wasila of Aimma Taherin (a.s). Yes you can pray Namaz for all Aimmah for more detail you can refer Mafateeh al Jinan at the end it has mentioned how to recite Namaz Hadiya e 14 Masoomin (a.s).

4-We have many Hadith regarding Tasbeeh of Bibi Fatima Zahra (a.s) we must recite Tasbeeh after every wajib namaz just after Tashahhud and Salam then you can do Last Sajda e Shukr at the end.

1) Can you tell me the difference between sunni and shia nikkah?

2) If you belong to Pakistan or India you'll probably know about that "walima" ritual. Is walima a society made ritual? Can walima happen if the couple did not had intercourse?

3)Is it important for the bride and groom to have intercourse on the first night ?


4) Can a shia muslim make a will to donate her body organs after she dies? Is it halal to donate organs after you die?

1-Being a Shia we can’t accept any other way of Nikah but same time all marriages are accepted in Islam according to their own customs and traditions and if they accept Islam no need for them to repeat their Nikah again.
2- Walima is Mustahab (appreciated act if you do will get sawab but if don’t do will not be punished). It has no relation with husband and wife’s physical relationship.
3- It has no restriction it depends on their mutual understanding.
4- It not allowed to make such will for donating ones body organs.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5873; Muslim, 7092 

With regard to their ages, they will all enter Paradise at the age of strength and youth, thirty-three years old. It was narrated from Mu’aadh ibn Jabal that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless with their eyes anointed with kohl, aged thirty or thirty-three years.” 

From the above hadeeth will our age be 33 years?

We have many traditions like this that believers will enter in paradise while they will be in their youth age. And it makes sense because youth age is only suitable for all types of physical and spiritual enjoyment.

What is the difference between arsh & kursi. I understand kursi is chair. And what do you mean by people will be shaded by His Arsh on resurrection day?

This all show the Magesty and Greatness of Allah (swt)

Can I pray al fajar anytime after the sunrises? Can I pray magrib anytime after the sun sets?

You can’t pray Fajr namaz “after” sun rise but yes if you want to pray after the sunrise then your Niyyat will be for Qadha Salat. After the Sunset when the redness has disappeared from the horizon which take around 15 or 20 or even 30 minutes in some areas then it’s Maghrib time now from this time till the mid night you can pray your Maghrib salat.

Also please refer Fadhilat times for each Salat:
The Prime Time/ Awwal e waqt remains almost the same for all the prayers but Waqt e Fazerlat differs.
The estimated time of fadhilah for five daily prayers:
Fajr: From Azan till 21 minutes roughly
Zuhr: From Azan till 1 hr 40 minutes
Asr: Around 2hrs 50 minutes after Azan e Zuhr which lasts for 42 minutes roughly
Maghrib: From Azan till 51 minutes roughly
Isha: After 51 minutes of Azan e Maghrib.
Please note the prime time is the best time for Salah unless anticipating for jamaat and second comes time of fadhilah.

Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) has said:
Verify our true shias with two qualities; observing the timing of Salah and exerting the best financial supports to their brothers and sisters in faith.

Is it not shirk asking others other than Allah for help & wishes. Did Allah not say that worship me and I will grant your wishes. Do not associate anyone with me? And also if Prophet fulfill the wishes, then everybody will only ask the Prophet for fulfilling the wishes since Allah will not grant wishes fast since he tests the patience of humans? And will you not call prophet Muhammad for help subconsciously instead of Allah each time?

Just asking from someone else other than Allah is not Shirk otherwise if this were true then we do hundreds and thousands of shirk every day in our day to day life.

Whenever we become ill, we go to the doctor. If we want help, we go to others. If we want knowledge, we go to the one who knows more than us etc...

Shirk is if we believe that besides Allah there is someone else who has the same power like Him. But if we believe that Prophet have power and unlimited power but given by Allah there is nothing bad in it.

The Quran says when Prophet Yaqoob (a.s) became blind after loosing the prophet Yusuf (a.s) and after 35 year when the brothers of Yousuf (a.s) met him in Egypt, he gave his shirt and said rub it on the eyes of my father he will be able to see and the same happened.

So didn't Prophet Yusuf (a.s) ask directly for cure of his father who was also Prophet from Allah (swt). Because he wanted to shows to his brother and other people that they are not ordinary persons but divine leaders and chosen by Allah (swt) and for that it is a must they should have power over everything ( that we call miracle). Therefore it is very good if we ask our needs from Allah (swt) with the Wasila ( means) of Prophets and his Holy Household.
Allah says in the holy Quran:
[Al-Maeda:35]:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O YOU who have attained to faith! Remain conscious of God, and seek means to come closer unto Him, and strive hard in His cause, so that you might attain to a happy state.(5:35)

Volume 3, Book 29, Number 54 :Narrated by Hafsa

Allah's Apostle said, "It is not sinful (of a Muhrim) to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the kite, the mouse, the scorpion and the rabid dog."

Is this true

According to Islam, any animal which is not harmful and even if it is harmful but not going to harm you, then there is no reason to them kill them. Yes if it’s around ones living area and there is a possibility that it can harm, then one can kill otherwise no reason to kill them.

But about the crow, mouse and kite etc there is no reason to kill them, it’s beyond our understanding.

Can a person go to the graveyard of the prophets & sufi saints and pray for them and ask to fulfill our wishes?

We can’t mixed Prophets with other Sufi Saints. Allah has given this authority to Prophets to fulfill our wishes even if they are not alive in this world. As our deeds are being present to them so they can listen our wishes too. But as fa as a Sufi Saint is concerned, one can pray for them and even one can visit to their grave and recite the Holy Quran for them if he was really a true devotee of Allah and not the one whom people have raised without any reason then yes he can ask his wishes from Allah with their Wasila (source) too.

How can we see the angels on the day of judgement?

The issue of hereafter is totally different from our physical world. We see here with our eyes which is a ball of fat and flesh. Angels are an absolutely reality and they are intellect عقول therefore whenever we talk to see them it means not from the eyes which we have in this Duniya. Even we can’t beyond see the wall with these eyes. So please try to understand seeing Allah (swt) or Angels doesn’t mean with the eyes and its not referring to seeing their body because there is no case of physical body. All these discussions returns to our cognizant and Marifah as well as the Greatness of Allah (swt)

Can we see Allah physically in jannah?

We can’t see our own soul not because it doesn’t have body ( of course it doesn’t have body) but because we see only things which is not part of our being.

For Allah if we ask can we see or not it’s just the matter that we have not understood His Holy existence. I could answer your question in a single word “NO” but I know there will a question for you then how Quran has mentioned :

[Al-Qiyama:22]:
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness,

But here the Arabic word ‎ وُجُوهٌ doesn’t mean face, otherwise how do we get meaning of this verses:
‏Al-Rahman:26]:
كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ
‏All that lives on earth or in the heavens is bound to pass away:
‏Al-Rahman:27]
وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ
but forever will abide thy Sustainer’s Self, full of majesty and glory.

But here word وجهٌ doesn’t mean face but His Power and Might .

When Allah is everywhere, it means our own existence is not away from His Holy being therefore seeing him is not only not possible but has no sense. Can anyone define his own reality other than his body? We can't say anything about our own soul how is it long,short, thin and wide nothing while 24x7 it’s with us near us and into us but our own eyes can’t see it.

Did the Prophet say read last 2 ayat of Surah Al Bakarah & 1st 10 ayat's of Surah Al Khaaf everday? And did he also say recite surah Al Falak & surah Al Naas everday to be healthy and to fall from sickness?

This is a very wide field of study. I can’t say whether Holy Prophet has said this or not unless you give me the reference therefore I can then check that book.
One thing is very clear that there are many unauthentic hadith present in this regard specially what is the benefit of reciting such and such ayah or Sura. Many of them are not authentic but the same time we can’t deny the fact that Quran has Shifa. This shifa (cure) is mostly related to our spiritual disease instead of our physical one. For any physical disease we have to consult doctor or the expert of medicine while having the faith in Allah that He who has given Shifa (cure) in every medicine.

If Allah has not created ibleez will all humans & jinns do evil acts?

Allah has not created Iblees as a Shaitan but he himself shows the nature of evil. Allah has not created evil as an evil itself but He has given both power of act and at the same time many ways of guidance. Now if Human or Jinn are not choosing His guidance as a tool to guide themselves for sure they will go astray. For example if you do not take food, our bodies will become week and we will die because our body needs physical energy as long as we are in this material world so if someone complains why his body became weak what would be your reply? Same that because he didn’t take food. Therefore we humans by default have both nature of good and bad ( Nafs e Ammara and Nafs e Lawama and Nafs e Mutmainna) but on top of Nafs e Ammara we have strong intellectual power of understanding and a strong system of guidance in the form of “Vahee” Revelation brought by Prophets. Therefore even if Shaitan was not there, we would do mistakes if we do not use our intellect and guidance of Allah which He has sent through His Prophets.But of course Shaitan takes it as a good opportunity when a human being shows weakness in his own determination and dominates his wild nature (Nafs e Ammara) over his Intellect and so he does any mistake but Shaitan is not the primary catalyst for any sin rather it’s our own soul. Yes Shaitan portrays evils in a good form to attract us but finally it we who has to decide to select. Same in the case of Guidance there is no compulsion otherwise if Allah wants no one could do anything wrong but again then there was no role for Human to become void or bad by his own choice and in that case will loose our nature of free selections. Also it’s not true that we go astray just because of Shaitan only otherwise if this was the case all Human would say Allah on the Day of Judgement that they have done all the mistakes because of Shaitan and they had no role while it’s not true.

When the angels are made of light how can they drag the disbelievers in Hell fire? The angels & jinn can pass through anything so how can they pull or drag the humans?

Angel and Jinn are totally different from each other. According to Quran jinn are created from fire ( but not the same fire we use in our daily life) it could be an energy or heat which can’t be possible to be seen by human. But Angels are am absolute reality and free from any physical body. Angels are intellect and follow the commands of Allah so they have power to do what they have been commanded. But Jinns are the same as human with the difference of their physical nature. We have no such evidence that Jinn will drag human to hell while they themselves have to resurrected on the day of judgement. Now how they will be punished in the hell fire it’s up to Allah, He knows better but Angels are free from any mistake therefore there is no question arises about their punishment.

Is masturbating without watching inappropriate videos halal?

Masturbation is not allowed at all. The only halal way remains for man to get sexual satisfaction by marriage either permanent or temporary. Otherwise there are ways defined in Islamic ethics how to control one’s sexual desire if marriage is not possible.

Is it permisible to have temporary marriage with a widow? If so, what are the conditions?

How should the nikkah form be, public or secret? What if the woman wants it secret? Or the society we live in do not understand this concept

Who are those with whom to do nikkah muta?

As per Shia 12 Imami school of thought there is no need of witnesses during Nikah is mandatory but at the time of divorce yes it’s mandatory to have two just person. But it’s recommended (Mustahab) to have witnesses during Nikah. The most important condition for both permanent marriage and temporary marriage (Mut’a), if the girl is virgin and dependent upon her father, it is wajib (obligatory) to seek her father’s consent but if she is not dependent and not a virgin and she is either widow or divorced then she can take her decision on her own. You should also have fixed time period (how long you want to be together) and Mahr ( dowry) before Nikah.
Whom you can do Mut’a is same as with whom you can do Nikah (permanently).

Nowadays in the west , there is a rise in a new cult called 'Satanism' which have their beliefs centered around Shaytaan or Satan .
How should the Muslims feel about this and should we segregate ourselves from them ?

Yes of course they are the one who gone astray. They all are Najis and misguided.

Can I read a dua like dua tawasul or kumayl without having wadhu?

And can I read a dua and quran in english? Do I get the same sawab ?

Yes you can recite Du’a and Holy Quran without wudhu but make sure not to touch the letters of Quran and as an obligatory precaution the names of 14 Masoomins (a.s) too.
Yes you can read Dua and Quran in any language but if it’s transliteration and not translation dont touch it too without Wudhu.

Is it obligatory to perform wuzu before reciting hadees e kisa, dua e noor and other duas?

If you are not touching the name of Allah and as per obligatory precaution names of Aimmah (a.s) then there is no harm you can recite while not having done wudhu.

1) A sunni muslim has asked me to prove from quran that the entire universe was created for the love of ahlulbait(hadees e kisa) as he says the verse 33:33 only talks about purity.

2) He always asks me these controversial questions but never listens to me properly and gives me dawat to become a sunni muslim when I am not able to answer him from his references or quran.

Should I ignore such kind of people or should i indulge in debates with them . For example if he is saying that saying ya ali madad is shirk so should i stay silent (he will think he is victorious) or should i reply to him?

1) Many things you can’t prove by Quran. Ask your fellow brother if he can pray 2 Rakats Namaz by referring Holy Quran. Yes Namaz has been commanded in Quran but not how to offer it. Can he prove the Khilafat of the first three caliphs from Quran and if not then how come they became the leader of Ummah. Who gave them authority to collect Zakat and rule over Muslims? Can he prove how to perform Nikah, how toperform Hajj ( one of the pillar of Islam)
Yes Holy Prophet has said that Allah has created his Holy being at first and also He (saww) said My Ahlul Bait are from my Noor (light). Then another way it has said that Allah has created this universe out of the love of His Prophet.

Quran has says:
[Al-Jathiya:13]:
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مِّنْهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

And He has made subservient to you, [as a gift] from Himself, all that is in the heavens and on earth: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think!

When this universe can be for an ordinary Believer then of course Prophet (saww) and his holy House Holds deserves many time more than any believer.

2) One day you ask him please tell me the definition of “shirk” and “Tawheed” and is seeking help in other than Allah shirk? If yes then why do we seek help in our daily life many many times?

What does this ayah mean:
[Al-Maeda:35]:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O YOU who have attained to faith! Remain conscious of God, and seek to come closer unto Him, and strive hard in His cause, so that you might attain to a happy state.

If he wishes we can give many more example where he does shirk in his daily life.
But the problem is with such people they don’t know the exact meaning of Islam they just follow the Salafi’s Islam.

I was going through some videos of different sects and in one sect i got a "daleel" for ya ali madad being forbidden. He said that if Mola Ali has authority of helping and you ask him, then why dont you ask angels like Mikael, Jibrael and others to fulfill their role, like if we want rain then why dont we ask angel mikael as he also has authority of doing rainfall?
After this context, is it still appropriate to say ya ali madad?

Then why Omar said 70 time if Ali was not there he would be perished” Why didn’t he ask from angels to help him?
For sure Allah (swt) has give authority to his closest Wali eg Prophet Ibrahim (a.s), he called dead birds and they became alive (Quran), Prophet Isa (a.s) giving life to dead one.
All the ompanions of Prophet (saww) used to take his Wudhu droplets in Madina as a blessing.

Also Prophets and Imams are greater than Angels.
Angels did Sajdah of Adam (a.s) by the command of Allah(swt). Can anyone show if Allah has commanded any human to bow-down to any angel?

Dua asked in namaz e shab is fulfilled. My question is that when should we ask for our hajat in the prayer like after completion of it or in qunoot of namaz e witr or is there any specific dua after which we can seek for our needs?

You may ask your needs in Qunoot but we should avoid in Qunoot to recite duas other than those mentiones in the Holy Quran or recommended by Aimmah (a.s).
But you can ask your Hajaat after completion of Salatul Layl. It won’t make any difference Allah (swt) know better but likes that His slave comes and ask from Him.

If a tattoo is makrooh, does this make it a sin and can I be punished for it? Even if the tattoo does not contain any vile things or satanic looking things?

All Islamic jurisprudence have been categorised in to five section.
1-Wajib (Obligatory) you have to do it if don’t do will be punished.
2-Haram (Restricted) don’t do it if you do it will be punished.
3-Mustahab ( recommended to do it if you do it will be rewarded and if you don’t do it you will not be punished.
4-Makrooh ( recommended to not do it but if don’t do will be rewarded and if you do it you will not be punished.
5-Mubah ( doesn’t matter either you do it or don’t do that).
Now if anyone has not used any thing in his tattoos which is against Islamic Shariya and ethics then there is no issue it it even it would not considered as a Makrooh.
But we should avoid having such western culture which has no value and sense.

I did istekhara with the intention that I will follow it if comes good but if it comes bad I will follow it for now but I will do another istikhara afterwards. Is this intention valid? Is this istikhara valid?

Istekhara means when you stuck in an issue and your intellect doesn’t work or you don’t you what to do so you leave your affairs on Allah (swt)'s wish and so now you have to rely on God in both cases either positive or negative otherwise it would be as if you don’t care.
I thing in such case better you should not do any Istekhara.

I know that tohfatulawam contains some pages with a direction to the questions you have in mind. I wanted to know what are the etiquettes of acquiring an answer, is there something like a dua or ism e azam we have to read before opening the book for the answer? I will appreciate any kinds of help! Also may I ask some effective duas and amal to ask for the impossible? I know nothing in front of Allah swt is impossible and I don’t want to lose hope either, maybe a dua or amal would work.


As far as Istekhara is concerned, you may recite the dua of Ishtekhara and look it. Sometimes people do Istekhara with Tasbeeh or with Holy Quran but what you are asking about doing Istekhara from Tohfatulawam, there is no such Istekhara mentioned in traditions of Aimmah (a.s) You may search on google for traditions and method of doing Istekhara according to Aimmah (a.s) you will find the way and dua also for that.

Another things as you asked about some amal to make anything or something possible which seems impossible. In this concern I would say Allah (swt) has created this universe with Wisdom and Logic therefore we should not deal with force or stubbornness. We as a human are given this authority to strive for our life and rely on Allah. Sometimes for that very purpose we have to ask special assistance of Allah but on the top of that our action is the most important part of the task. So nothing is impossible in that sense since we don’t know the reality of that thing. And this is also a part of our system of this world that we should not be aware about the reality of that thing otherwise our life will become meaningless.
So please rely on Allah and do continue your efforts Allah will give you success and if you would get clear success make sure Allah will replace it with something which is better than that.



يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

. "O' you who have Faith! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of each other. And whoever among you takes them for friends, then surely he is one of them.

Can you please tell what is the actual meaning of 'Awliya' in this verse and what was the context behind its revelation

In this very verse the word “Wali”means same what we have the meaning in this verse:

[Al-Maeda:55]:
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

Behold, your only helper shall be God, and His Apostle, and those who have attained to faith - those that are constant in prayer, and render the purifying dues, and bow down [before God]:

We should not make them our Guardian or Leader or Supreme Authorities but af for as friendship means in general to live with them as a neighbor or colleague or partner yes we can have co existence with them.

1) My mother is more than 90 and is an alzheimer patient. She remembers to offer prayers but doesn't deliver properly. At times asks someone to listen if she is wrong. Her caretaker is Christian. I live in another city.

2) Mostly she doesn't wakeup for morning prayers as she is restless throughout night. How can we cover up all her namaz?

1) In the above situation there is no need to check her pronunciation (Makhraj ect...) she can pray the way she feels comfortable and not need to correct her.

2) None can perform others namaz as long as he/she is alive ( even if h/she is in the state of unconsciousness) therefore if she is has to perform her Qaza Namaz by any means. But if you look Namaz rules you would find there are many exceptions discussed. So if a person can’t stand and pray, he can sit but if he can’t sit he can perform with making signs with his hands.
But if a person has lost his conscience and doesn’t recover and left this world then nothing will be remained for him as a due.

In salah it is required to complete a full surah after Al fatihah. Or can we do 3 ayat of a certain surah? And what is the reason behind the ruling if possible?


In the first and second rakʿahs of the daily obligatory prayers, one must recite Sūrat al-Ḥamd followed by another surah; and based on obligatory precaution, [the second surah] must be a complete surah. Also based on obligatory precaution, ‘Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā’ and ‘Sūrat al-Sharḥ’, and similarly ‘Sūrat al-Fīl’ and ‘Sūrah Quraysh’, are counted as one surah in prayers.

If the time for prayers is short or one is compelled to not recite the other surah – for example, he fears that if he recites the other surah, a thief, predatory animal, or something else will harm him – or if one has some urgent matter to attend to, in these cases, he can leave out reciting the other surah. In fact, when time is short and in some cases where one is fearful, he must not recite the other surah.

In recommended prayers, it is not necessary to recite the other surah even if that prayer has become obligatory on account of a vow. However, in some recommended prayers, such as the prayer of loneliness (ṣalāt al-waḥshah), that require a specific surah to be recited, if one wants to act according to the rules of that prayer, he must recite the specified surah.

I want to know:
1) While doing ghusl, is it compulsory to remove the pores that's on my face which would come out if used face scrub or done anything such to remove it?

2) When blood comes from skin it sometimes becomes dry in the spot and it remains stuck to the skin so its healed. So do I need to compulsorily try to remove such spots of blood and see if it comes out or not by scratching by finger?

3) If there is skin thats little hanging and can be removed by cutting it by using nail cutter then its compulsory to cut it before ghusl?

You should not do anything of what you have mentioned in your question before doing Ghusl. The only thing you should do not to leave anything which is barrier for reaching water to your skin and that is not amongst your body parts.
Jazakallahu

My finger got najis by touching essential najasat, then I remove the essential najasat and washed my finger thrice so finger become paak right? But the thing was that I has some oil type grease thing under my nails and some near my nail on skin. I tried to remove that but it was hardly coming out because it was under the nail. So that thing was under my nail before my finger got najis, and after the procedure of making paak also, its there. So my finger is paak now?

If after washing the any part of body the original Najasat has been removed and has no najis particles on it, then the surface of body will become Pak.

Is it halal to get a car on finance with interest

You can receive the money not with the intention of borrowing it.
It is permissible to take the money from the bank that is financed by non-Muslim government or private funds but not with the intention of loan. The knowledge that the bank will sooner or later force him to pay the capital as well as the interest does not affect [the lawfulness of] his taking the money.

I just have a few questions on the issue of who is included in the ahlul bayt. I’ve heard arguments from other sects in Islam that in the Quran allah has mentioned in surah Hud ayah 73 that Sarah the wife of the prophet Ibrahim was blessed on by Allah and referred to her as the people of the house. So why isn’t the wives of the Prophet Muhammad part of the ahlul bayt. Next argument is surah al-ahzab the ayahs before ayah 33 and the ayah itself talks about the wives of the prophet, so it’s thought they are included in the ahlul bayt. What’s the imami school of thoughts opinions on both these arguments?

“They said: “Do you wonder at Allah’s decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, O people of the House! Verily He is Praise worthy, Glorious. ”(Hud:73)

Question: Considering the fact that in the above verse, the angels addressed Abraham’s wife using the phrase Ahl-ul-Bayt, and since, naturally, everyone’s wife is considered as part of one’s household, why is it then that in the verse of Tathir in the Surah Al Ahzab, No. 33, verse 33,1 the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (S) are not included in his household?

Answer: Regarding only the literal meaning of the word, it would be natural for the word Ahl-ul-Bayt to include reference to one’s wife.

However, we have firm grounds regarding the fact that someone can be excluded from this denotation even when normally they would be included in its purview, like in the verse saying: “Verily he is not of your household” where Noah’s son is not counted as a member in Noah’s household.

Sometimes it also happens that there could be a reason to include someone who would normally not be considered as a member of the household, as has been said of Salman:

“Salman belongs to our household (Ahl-ul-Bayt)”

There are numerous narrations concerning the verse of Tathir which say that the blessed Prophet (S) had taken certain people under his cloak calling them his Ahl-ul-Bayt, while he did not allow his wife, the pious Umm-us-Salamah, to enter.

This Divine favor and blessings were not confined to that time and place. It has continued in this family, too. What Divine blessing can be superior to that bestowed upon the Prophet (S) and the Immaculate Imams (as) who have emerged from this household?

As related by Sunni and Shi'ah 'ulama', the Holy Prophet (S) has stated:

"The parable of my Ahl al-Bayt is that of Nuh's ark; those who boarded were saved while those who did not board were drowned".

In another successive hadith, related by Sunni and Shi'ah 'ulama', the Holy Prophet (S) has stated:

"I leave two valuable things for you which will never be separated from each other till they meet me at Hawd al-Kawthar. They are the Allah's Book, Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt. You will not go astray after me as long as you remain in touch with them intimately and seek refuge under these two".
Does any Sunni scholar can prove that the wives of Holy Prophet (saw) had such position that they can be guide for all humanity and they were free from any mistake?

1) Someone told me that we cannot read the Quran while wearing slippers or shoes. is that true? the person said that it is disrespectful therefore we should not read while wearing footwear.

2) My skin is very oily. Is it necessary for me to remove the oil before I do my wuzu? If I do wuzu on an oily face, is my wuzu invalid (as the oil may act as a barrier between water and skin)?

1-No it’s not true you can recite Quran.
2- It will not considered barrier and your Wudhu is valid.

I know how to read the Quran in Arabic but being an ajami, I have doubt reading it when I fast. One of the reasons of the fast being broken is to lie upon Allah.

I'm afraid that if I read the Quran and mispronounce any word, that will be counted as a lie against Allah and my fast will be broken, which obviously I don't want to happen.

So I tend to read Quran after fasting. My intention is to read Quran correctly but because of my doubt I don't read it during fasting. Can you please guide me on this?

Reciting quran and having spelling mistakes doesn’t mean as if someone has ascribed false things to Allah (swt). Ascribing false things to Allah means a person says something from his own side while it has not mentioned in the Holy Quran doesn’t matter that was positive comment or negative.
Therefore don’t worry about that you may recite Quran( you are not doing any mistake intentionally)
Our Amal carries more value while we are fasting.

I just have one doubt that the qiyam that is there before ruku, if one doubts whether or not he has missed it then what he should do? For example at times when I wake up late for fajr and run short of time then I perform the prayer in hurry. At that time I have doubts that I misread the qiyam before ruku unintentionally maybe. In that case am I suppose to perform the prayer again because missing a wajib rukun
intentionally or unintentionally invalidates the prayer? Also, I should mention that I have doubts even when I'm not in a hurry. I sometimes have doubt regarding the wajib standing that is there before ruku. Are we suppose to dismiss such doubts or start the prayer all over again?

If you have doubt regarding the issue that you may have not done any actions correctly after passing the event or after the Namaz then just ignore it and no need to repeat the Namaz also.

Does reciting tashahud twice invalidates the prayer? For example I recited it in second rakat then when I stood up for 3rd rakat I had doubt so I recited it again?

The answer is very simple that is after completion of namaz you should two “sajdah e Sahw” and then recite salam and Tashahhud and finish your namaz.

But let me tell you detailed answer:


There are 11 things wajib in the prayers:
1. Niyyah: Intention to pray for being near to God.
2. Takbirat-ul-Ihram (Allahu Akbar after niyyah).
3. Qiyam: To stand.
4. Ruku’.
5. Two Sajdahs.
6. Qira'at: to recite Surah al-Hamd and another Surah in first two rak’ats and Tasbihat al-Arba’ah.
(Subhanallahi wal-hamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illal-lahu wallahu Akbar) or Surah al-Hamd in
the 3rd and 4th rak’ats.
7. Dhikr: to recite tasbih in ruku’ and sajdah, as will be explained later.
8. Tashahhud.
9. Salaam.
10. Tartib: To pray in the sequence prescribed by the shari’ah.
11. Muwalaat: To pray without interruption or gap.

Rukn and Ghayr Rukn
Out of the above mentioned wajib acts of prayer, 5 are rukn and the others are ghayr rukn.
Rukn means such actions which invalidate the prayer if they are left out or added, though unintentionally.
These are (1) Niyyah, (2) Takbiratul-Ihram (3) Qiyam at the time of Takbiratul-Ihram and just before going to Ruku, (4) Ruku and (5) Both sajdahs together. If any of these are left out, or added whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Salat will become batil (void).
Ghayr rukn means such wajib acts which invalidate the prayer if they are left out, or added, intentionally. But they do not invalidate the prayer if they are left or added unintentionally. These are the remaining wajib acts of prayer.

Tashahhud is one of the Ghayr Rukn therefore your namaz will not become invalid if you omit it or recite it twice unintentionally because so as per rule in four places a person has to perform Sahja e Sahv:


1-one forgets to say Tashahhud.
2-one generally knows that he has mistakenly omitted or added something in a prayer.
3-one inadvertently talks during prayers;
4-one says the salām of the prayer at a time when he must not to say.
The method of performing sajdatā al-sahw:
Immediately after the salām of the prayer, one must make the intention of sajdatā al-sahw and place his forehead, based on obligatory precaution, on something on which performing sajdah is permitted. The recommended precaution is that one should say dhikr in the sajdah, and it is better that he says:
‎بِسْمِ اللهِ وَ بِاللهِ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ أَيُّـهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَـرَکَاتُهُ
Then, he must sit up and go into sajdah again, and he should say the dhikr mentioned above. [He must then sit] and say tashahhud,after which he must say:
‎اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْكُمْ
‎وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَـرَکَاتُهُ

I read somewhere that Imam Mahdi atfs repents on our behalf twice a week. Is this authentic?
If yes which are those 2 days?

What does Repent meant? Yes he asks for forgiveness from Allah for us when he sees our Amal (deeds) are not correct. All these has mentioned in rewayat, also it has said that our Amal are presented to him on every Thursday and also on the night of Qadr. But when you say he repents ( means Tuaba) then there is a question that how come other than a person who has done wrong anyone else does Tauba.
We should know that this Duniya is a place where we have been sent to become a perfect Human being.
For becoming perfect human being we have to follow the some instructions just like if anyone wants to become a perfect surgeon he/she has to learn a lot and then most importantly has to work practical because just having theoretical knowledge can’t make him/her perfect in their profession.
We are here to do many things practically in the light of Divine guidance and leadership but WE HAVE TO DO not others even Prophet and Imam can’t do action (Amal) in behalf of us.
Same way when Prophets can’t do actions on behalf of us then of course they can’t REPENT on behalf of us it we ourselves we have to REPENT for our sin and for our mistakes.
Therefore it’s totally wrong and illogical concept that Imam e Zamana (ajtf) Repents on behalf of us. It doesn’t make sense if I have taken money from someone then why my brother has to pay for it no it we who has to pay. Yes Imam can ask Forgiveness for his followers as all Prophet (a.s) they asked Allah (swt) to forgive their nation (ummat) but again it’s up to Allah(swt) either He forgives or not it’s up to Him.
So unfortunately some people misguide people that don’t worry feel free and do whatever you want and Imam Zamana (ajtf) will repent for you. It’s nothing totally a concept of Christians as they say Jusus was Crucifiedto repent their Sins and so now they are relaxed and free to do whatever they want to do.

is it permissible to offer a prayer multiple times in case of doubt? I heard we can't offer maghrib prayer thrice? Is it true?

There are twenty-three types of doubt in prayers; eight of these invalidate prayers, six of them must be dismissed, and nine are valid.
Please refer the link below you find what to do in case of any type of doubt occurs in namaz.
Make sure in all cases of doubts we can’t repeat our Namaz rather we can correct them or ignore them or we can repeat our namaz.

Kya orat gar m itkaf beth sakti ajkl k halat ki wajha say?

Aitkaf ke liye pahli condition Masjid main hona hai. Isliye ghar main Aitkaf nahin ho sakta.

Mera ak kam hai, m darty huvy istakhara nahi kr rahi k mana agya to wajib ho ga. Lakin m dua karna chahti hn k dua khuda qabool kary ga magr bohot azeat mein hn m, mjy kya karna chahye? Dua ya istikhara?

Islam main aisa kahin nahin likha hai ke Insan apne har kam se pahle istekhara kare. Allah me Insan ko Aql di hain aur sath main Shariayat Ab agar koi kam Shariyat ke aitbar se Haram nahin hai to zahir hai use karne ki Poori azadi hai. Fir bhi Quran main irshad hua hai.

وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ
‏and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who trust.(3:159)

What is the niyat of qaza e umri. It's wajib or not?

If it’s done in place of ones lapsed wajib namaz, then niyyat would be wajib and should be prayed same as wajib by which I mean 2 raka’at of Fajr should be 2 Raka’at and Maghrib 3 and Isha and Zohr and ASR will be 4. And if you are praying 2-2 raka’at just as a mustahab, then it’s niyyat will be sunnat Qurbatan Ilallah.

Can tayammum be done on tiles or stone slab which are installed in the ground where it is meant to walk or on cement road?
I'm not sure if it is najis but it is dry.

Also, the surrounding mud/dust is still little moist and cold even after the rain has gone, is it allowed to do tayammum?

Performing tayammum with soil, pebbles, a clod of earth, and stone is valid. However, the recommended precaution is that if it is possible to perform tayammum with soil, one should not perform it with any other thing; and if soil is not available, [the recommended precaution is to perform tayammum with fine sand that is very soft, such that it can be called ‘soil’; and if that is not possible, with a clod of earth; and if that is not possible, with pebbles; and in the event that pebbles and a clod of earth are not available, one must perform tayammum with a stone.

Tayammum performed with gypsum or limestone is valid. Similarly, tayammum performed with dust that gathers on carpets, clothing, and similar things is also valid provided that its quantity is such that it can commonly be considered to be very fine soil, although the recommended precaution is that if alternatives are available, one should not perform tayammum with dust. Similarly, based on recommended precaution, if alternatives are available, one should not perform tayammum with gypsum and limestone that have been baked, nor with brick that has been baked, nor with mineral stones such as agate (ʿaqīq).

If a person cannot find soil, pebbles, a clod of earth, or stone, he must perform tayammum with mud; and if one cannot find any mud, he must perform tayammum on top of a carpet, clothing, or similar thing that has gathered dust or on which dust has settled but not to the extent that it can commonly be considered to be soil.
You can’t perform tayammum of tiles but yes you can perform on nature stone.

So I have a question regarding wishing something bad for someone. For example. If someone out of jealousy wished a person is dead and that person dies. Whats the islamic ruling on it? Like that person for example died the same day. An accident or natural causes. If he made dua that something happens to that person would he be accountable to anything?

If you see the verse 42 from Sura Zomar where it has clearly mentioned that at the time time of death Allah takes their soul back. But when we tak to the nature of God ( Sonan e Ilahi) it says that any one dies in this material world by one of the reason and that reason could be different.
Now as for as bad wishes or witch craft or magic are concerned, these all do exists but it’s not clear that any one can kill anybody just doing bad wish about him. In this world 2 things are working simultaneously that is cause and effect so for so any death, there should have been any natural reason. As as long as we are having material body the reason can also also material. According to islamic teaching, this material world is the place where Allah has sent us to achieve the aim of our life and become a perfect human being. Also if anyone has not done his duties properly or according to the guidelines of Shariaya he/she has chance up to his/ her last breath to repent and ask for forgiveness after which it depends on Allah’s mercy, does He forgive or not. But it’s clear that this world is the only place for practicing deeds ( either good or bad) therefore no divine punishment has been set as long as a person is alive so that he can’t make any excuse that he did not have enough chance to get repentance. All these shows that just by doing bad wishes if we start killing each other then what is the decree of Allah? There are two types of decree that has been fixed for every human:
1) We have given authority to live and do actions according to our own wish and will
2) Our destiny has been fixed by Allah so if we have not done any changes by doing good deeds our death which is certain will come. But still it would have a physical cause.

اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَىٰ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep; then He withholds those on whom He has passed the decree of death and sends the others back till an appointed term; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.(39:42)

I have a question about salah that I learned from authentic source that for every rakah we pray there is a need to recite surah fatiha first other wise prayer will be invalid but on YouTube i watched a practical demonstration of Salah of shia school of thought in third and in fourth rakat they say it is mustahab to recite surah fatiha but they recite some thing else.

Yes you are right according to shia Fiqh we recites “ Tasbeehat e Arba’ (four Tasbeeh) in our third and fourth Rak’at but if any one does not know the Tasbeehat Arba, they can recite Surah Al Hamd in his/her 3rd or 4th raka’at.
Now do we do so because this Zikr is one of the highly recommended zikr amongst all zikr. As you said the recommendation about Surah Al Hamd there is hadith that “There is no salat without Surah al Fatiha” and this covers 1st and 2nd Raka’at. Still one has choice, it’s not like we can’t recite Surah Al Fatiha at all and we have to recite only 4 Tasbeeh in our 3rd or4th rak’at. We have many Hadith from 12 Holy Imams regarding how Prophet (saww) used to pray and how 12 Imams used to Pray. So there is no doubt about the authenticity of what we have in practice.

My question is that how to do gusl during fast? Can we put water in mouth and in nose?

Like in normal days you do ghusl, same way you should do Ghusl while you are fasting. There is no difference and objection for Ghusl while you are Fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan.
First of all in any Ghusl there is no need to wash inside the nose and ear and mouth.
But if anyone wants to do so he can do, the only precaution you have to take is that water should not pass through your throat.

Is grape jam halal to eat?

Yes it’s Halal to eat.

My question is that does vomiting break your fast?

If you had not vomited intentionally then your fast is valid and don’t do anything from now which can invalidate your fast. Please see the Fatwa of Ayatullah Sistani ( May Allah protect him)

Whenever a fasting person intentionally vomits, his fast becomes invalid even if he vomited out of necessity or because of illness or suchlike. However, if he vomits unintentionally or involuntarily, there is no problem [and his fast remains valid].

Ruling 1617. If at night one eats something that he knows will cause him to vomit unintentionally during the day, his fast is valid.

Can I recite ziyarat ashura in English and do I have to recite the Salam and lanat 100 times and do I have to do sujood for the last part or are they all recommend bits?

Yes you are allowed to do all what you have asked. Its better to recite in Arabic ( at least transliteration) instead of translation. Also if you have time and courage better to recite Salam and Curse 100 times also better to recite ( Alla human lakal hamdu hamdash shakerina ala...) while you are in sajdah.

Can you the usual Amal you would do for the deceased who are Sunni; reading surah al Fatiha and Surah Yaseen, giving sadaqa in their name will all be valid right?

It’s ok if he was lovers of Ahlul Bait (a.s) we can do these all.

I have so many doubts concerning what is Najis and clean and now I have doubts on whether I purified something properly. Can I forget about these doubts?

There is a fixed rule you please always keep in your mind then inshallah you will not have any doubt regarding Taharat and Najasat concerning anything.
Everything is Pak unless a person is sure(100%)about its Najasat. Also if you are sure about being Najis anything it will not be considered Pak unless you will not become sure about its Taharat.
So don’t get doubts unnecessarily if have made it Pak followed by Shariya rule.

Salam what’s the best way to go about doing my Qadha prayers.
How should I fit in my day. And should I do salah tul layl also or just stick to completing my qadha prayers first?

The best and practical way for fulfilling your qadha is offer it after every wajib salat and only one namaz so you will not be tired e.g. after Fajr Salat pray only 2 rakat Fajr of your qadha after Zohar salam one qadha of zohr.
But if you don’t have time at Zohr (Noon) because at that time you are at work or college then manage your Zohr and Asr qadha at Fajr time.

You can break your fast as soon as maghrib enters, you don’t have to wait 10 minutes after right?

You can break your fast as soon as Maghrib Azan has said. But if anyone wants to break his/her fast after performing Maghrebain namaz or Maghreb namaz thats also better.
There is no logic behind waiting for 10 minutes unnecessarily after maghrib azan to break ones fast. As soon as Azan of Maghrib has said no either you break your fast of pray your namaz it’s up to you.

When I was doing wudhu water dropped from beard onto my hands just before I wiped my feet. Is my wudhu valid?

No it can’t invalidate your wudhu. But during if water drops fall on your feet before Masah you should dry it.

Could you please refer me some dua so that I can sleep peacefully at night. I don't know at night I feel very uncomfortable and not able to sleep

Please check your schedule in day time and food you take in your dinner and gap between your dinner and going to bed at night. Also do some exercises to make you tired. Also you can recite ayat al Kursi before sleep.

Is it not wrong to curse ayesha, wife of prophet? There are many hadith that are against ayesha but how can we believe on those ahadith when we do not have any guarantee of its authenticity. As we shias do not have any such authentic book of hadith.

Before stating anything about Aisha, we must tell you that such issues, if not addressed properly and in an atmosphere of prejudice, resentment, and bigotry, will lead to divisions and misplaced disputes that will no longer be compensable.

Therefore, there must always be mutual respect among all Islamic religions regarding each other's beliefs. Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.)’s treatment of Ayesha as the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can be a good criterion for us to comment on Ayesha. Amir al-Mu'minin (pbuh) in the Battle of Jamal, despite seeing Aisha in front of him, never gave up the battle and did not consider the other side to be right. But on the other hand, with all due respect and reverence, he accompanied Aisha to her destination with her brother Mohammad bin Abi Bakr (r.a) and with a group of guards, all of whom were women.

Therefore, it should be noted that although Imam Ali (a.s) faced Aisha as an enemy and a person who had left the caliph and the Imam of his time, this did not cause him to disrespect her.

Regarding the curse of Aisha by the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s), it should be said that the Ahl al-Bayt of infallibility (pbuh) did not curse Aisha in particular, which is due to the respect they gave to the wives of the Prophet (pbuh), but the general curses in the Qur'an and hadiths there are, of course, that their implementation must be followed with full follow-up and expertise. Like cursing the oppressors and the wicked and the like.

According to some, she expressed remorse at the end of her life for waging the Battle of Jamal. Ayesha died on the night of the 17th of Ramadan in the year 58 or 57 AH at the age of 63 or 64 in Medina due to illness. Abu Hurayrah, the ruler of Medina at the time, prayed for him and buried Aisha in Baqee’ according to her will.

Question No. 100644
The subject of the question: Insulting the companions and wives of the prophet (s.a.w.a.)

The Question:
as-Salamu Alykum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuhu,
A video clip has been seen several times on social network web sites showing a congregation during the martyrdom of al-Imam al-Jawad (a.s.). This group of people from the area known as al-A'dhamiyyah are shown shouting out insults upon 'Omar, A’isha, and others. Is this type of behavior condemned by the supreme religious authority, especially since it involves the insult of religious figures of our brothers of the Sunni school of thought, and it could potentially fuel unrest amongst the people of Iraq and jeopardize peace?

The Answer:
In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful
This type of behavior is condemned, strongly denounced and contrary to the commands of the Imams of the Holy Household of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to their followers. Allah is The Guide.

My sister is suffering from jaundice and i am sure that there will be some dua to speed up the recovery process. Please give dua to recite to get relief from jaundice

Jaundice is a very common disease and doesn’t require very complicated treatment but precautions are very useful in this illness and should not be neglected any how so please see a better Doctor that I’m sure you are doing so.
There are few Ayah which has been recommended to write it on a paper and hang it where she sleeps.
Ayah 41 from Sura Saba and verses 16-18 from Surah Yasin:
«قَالُوا سُبْحَانَکَ أَنْتَ وَلِیُّنَا مِنْ دُونِهِمْ ۖ. بَلْ کَانُوا یَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنَّۖ أَکْثَرُهُمْ بِهِمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ. قَالُوا رَبُّنَا یَعْلَمُ إِنَّا إِلَیْکُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ. وَ مَا عَلَیْنَا إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِینُ. قَالُوا إِنَّا تَطَیَّرْنَا بِکُمْ ۖ. لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهُوا لَنَرْجُمَنَّکُمْ وَ لَیَمَسَّنَّکُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ»

I also want to know after doing suhhor can I drink water during the farz azan?

In some areas there are two azans, one is for Tahajjud and another is for Fajr Namaz. You asked about Farz azan so as soon time has set in for Fajr and Moazzin said Allahu Akber, now you are not allowed to eat or drink. Not only that, if you had water in you mouth and you heard the azan and if you swallow the food or if you have water in your mouth and you drink it, your fast will become invalid and you have to pay kaffara also. So suppose if you are eating and food is in your mouth and you heard the azan now you have to spit it out other wise your will become invalid.

1) I wanted to know that if I masturbate can I pray namaz by just washing half of my body?

2) While fasting I masturbated and when I reached orgasm some watery substance came out its not sperm though. Does this break my fast?

1) Masturbation is Haram ( prohibited) in Islam. You can’t pray namaz after masturbation unless you have done Ghusl e Janabat.
It is Farz (wajib) to do Ghusl after evacuating semen either while you are sleeping or awake.

2) As long as its not a semen and has no sign of being semen its pak but make sure masturbation is HARAM and it will invalidate your fast and then there is a huge Kaffara you have fast 2 months (60) fasts continuously. So don’t do that sin again.

How should I recite zohr namaz with jamat and in furada?

Rules regarding congregational prayers:
A follower must say everything in congregational prayers except the recitation of Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah; however, if the first or second rakʿah of the follower is the third or fourth rakʿah of the imam, then he must recite Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah.

If in the first and second rakʿah of the ṣubḥ, maghrib, and ʿishāʾ prayers a follower hears Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah, then even though he is unable to distinguish the individual words, he must not recite Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah. However, if he cannot hear the voice of the imam, it is recommended that he recites Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah but he must recite them in a whisper; and in the event that he inadvertently recites them aloud, there is no problem.


Based on obligatory precaution, in the first and second rakʿah of ẓuhr and ʿaṣr prayers, a follower must not recite Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah, and it is recommended that he says dhikr instead.

Rues Regarding Furada Prayer:

In the first and second rakʿah of the ṣubḥ, maghrib, and ʿishāʾ prayers as a Furada a person must recite Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah with loud voice (not too much just normal).However, he should not recite the Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah with loud voice in his Zohr and Asr Namaz rather he must recite them in a whisper.
But it is Mustahab he should say Bismillah loudly before Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah in Zohr and Asr prayers.
In 3rd rakat of Maghrib and 3rd & 4th rakat of Isha Tasbeehate Arba’a must be said silently. Rest of the Zikr should be recited in normal voice neither loudly nor as if any one whisper.

If the girl is on her periods can the sega be prayed?

Yes It is because for nikah (either permanent or temporary) there is no such restriction has been mentioned.
But after the nikah husband can’t do sexual inter course with his wife unless she become clean from her menses.

It is said eating charcoal is haram.
But are we allowed to supply any skin care products that are made of charcoal (like a mask ,scrub,etc to apply on the face?

Yes eating it is not allowed but you may apply it. There is no objection in applying if on your body.

What are the possible harmful effects of tattoos for which it can be haram?

It self this act is not haram if it’s not done in such a way where Na Mahram involved also if it’s not making layer which is barrier for reaching water to ones skin then as for as Wudhu and Ghusl concern it would be in walid. But if it’s ink goes deep inside the skin and not making and membrane or layer then it’s allowed.
Now if we see the issue of tattoos in the light of ethics so we are not allowed to do any act according to Islamic Shariya which can be against Human Dignity and modesty. Because it act 99% done just for show off and if this is the intention then of course it would have problem and hard to say it’s okay. Allah (swt) has given a high rank to Human and our body is private and Amanat of Allah (swt) we should not use it to just portray it.

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا

And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.(17:70)

Is it permissible to recite dua Imam Zamana in qunoot? And also can I recite more than 1 dua in qunoot during obligatory prayers ?

Yes you can recite Dua of Imam e Zaman (ajtf) in Qunoot and also you can recite many Dua’s in your Qunoot.

Would like to ask ruling on if one realizes after any wajib ghusl that there has been some stain or dirt inside the nail which is not so very clear or not even alot, would it invalidate my ghusl or I should not worry about it? My nails are medium size which I usually cut time to time. What is the ruling on external part of body? What about eyelashes, if you see a tiny bit of mascara on your eyelashes after ghusl can I just ignore that and continue salaat or my ghusl becomes unvoid?

During Ghusl it’s not obligatory to wash those body parts which not included as outer surface of one’s body for example it’s not obligatory to wash inside your nose or ears or eyes same way if nails are not as long as one could say that it has separated from the skin of the finger then one has to wash them during Ghusl as normal and no need to try to reach water inside the joining area where the skin of the tip of the finger and nails joints together.
But if nails are long enough and if there any obstacles seen under that enlarged nail then it must be removed.
External part of the body must be free from any type of obstacle and oily substance which can be barrier for water to reach up to the skin. As far as eyelashes are concerned, it’s very clear that it’s the part of outer body so it must be free from any obstacle.

Muje aisa lagne laga hai ke Allah nahi hai. Q k mai bachpan se sunta or dekhta araha hu ke shiyon pe gair Shia pe zulm hote hain, itni buri tarah se maara jaata hai lekin log mar rahe hain but Allah ki sehat p koi asar nahii. Agar koi bande ke hath me power hota to wo logo ko iss musibat se nikaal deta but khuda k hath puri Kainaat or power bhi hai fir chup reh ke wo tamasha dekh raha hai . Aisa q hai?

Tamam Nabi aur Rasool ka sabse pahla paigham yahi raha hai ke Allah ki ebadat ki jaye aur uske siwa koi dosra Mabood nahi. Magar Hazrat Ibrahim apne zamane main akele aise Nabi they jinhone mahrz 16 sal ki umr main apne zamane ki sabse powerful hukumat (Namrood) ke against Muhim ka agaz kiya aur fir Namrood ke hukm per inko aag ke hawale kiya gaya. Agar che woh Allah ke Nabi they magar unko aag main jana parha aur fir Allah ne usi aag se Hazrat Ibrahim ko bacha liya aur Namrood kuch nahin kar saka. Allah chahta to Barish bhej kar aag ko bujha sakta tha magar agar aisa hota to log yahi kahte ke ittefaq se barish ho gayee warna Hazrat Ibrahim jal jate. Magar Allah ko eh sabit karna tha ke koi kitna bhi plan kion na kar le aakhiri aur final plan uska hi hota hai. Aaj ek Ibrahim ke manne wale taqreeban 5 billion log hain magar Namrood ki qabr ka bhi pata nahin hai. Hazrat Musa ki wiladat ke waqt Firaun ne 70 hazara masum bachchon ka qatl karwaya take ek Musa ko mar sake magar wahi Musa agar zinda bache aur inki parwarish huee to usi Firaun ke mahel main usi ke zeere say. Ab sawal eh hai ke fir kion 70 hazar begunah bachche mare gaye. Iska jawab yahi hai ke Allah ko batana tha ke ek Nabi ki jaan ki qimat kia hoti hai aur dosra eh ke koi kita bhi powerful kion na ho Allah ki qudrat ke aage kuch nahin kar sakta.
Magar in sab hadesat ke piche sabse ahem Philosophy eh hai ke Hidayat ke raste main koi zabardasti nahin hai aur is material world main tamam actions cause aur effect ke system per chalenge. Agar Allah ko yahi karna ho ke Insan se uska ikhtiyar le ley aur use burayee na karne de (chah ka bhi) aur achchayee hi karaye ( na chahte hue bhi) to fir is Insan ki khilqat ka hadaf khatm ho jayega aur jabke Allah ki tamam creations main Insan ke alawa do aur aisi makhlooq hain jinmain janwar ke pass Aql nahin hai aur desire hai lehaza woh jo karen achcha bura sab barabar hai aur dosri makhlooq farishte hain jinke pass sirf Aql ( intellect) hai lehaza unke yahan burayee ka koi concept hi nahin hai.woh burayee ko guman bhi nahin kar sakte.
Magar Insan tanha woh Makhlooq hai jiske pas desires ke sath sath Aql bhi hai. Ab Insan agar aql ko dominant rakhta hai aur apni desires ka ghulam nahin banta to woh farishton se greater ho jata hai aur agar apni desires ko dominant rakhta hai aur Aql ki nahin sunta to woh janwar se badtar ( lower) ho jata hai. Yahi woh sysytem hai jiske under eh clear ho satka hai ke kon kitna Human nature develop kar paya hai aur kon kitna neeche ghir chuka hai.
Agar maut shikast ya buri cheez hoti to kabhi bhi isi maut ke pul ( bridge ) se guzar kar woh Imam Husain jinko Shia apna ideal manta hai ise qabool na karte aur yazid aur yazidiat ko khatm karne ke liye dosra rasta apnate. ( aur aisa nahin hai ke Imam Husain ke pass koi dosra option nahin tha. Nahin bahot se options they aur mumkin bhi tha ke maujoida Yazid ko khatm bhi kar dete magar fir Yazidiat ka kia hota uski roots baqi rahti lehaza agar che Imam ko shahid kiya gaya lekin is ek Shahadat ne Hazaron Lakhon Husaini paida kar diye.
Jis Shia ke qatl per aap naraz hain ( aur hona bhi chahiye) unhin shia ki tadad Rasool e Khuda ki wafat ke baad 5-7 thi magar aaj Alhadolillah millions ki tadad hai to kisi ke marne se agar koi khatm ho jata to kaha ja sakta tha ke uski nasl khatm ho gayee magar jitna bhi tareekh main Zulm hua hai usse na to Aqide main kami aayee hai aur na tadad main.
Asl main ham logon ne deen ka matlab hi ghalat samjha hai aur hamare liye Adalat aur Allah ke nizam ka maqsad kiya hai eh clear nahin hai.
Eh duniya poori tarah se asbab aur elal per manni hai aur agar asbab aur elal ko hata liya jaye to jabr nazar aayega. Jabr kia hai aap jante honge. Allah ne is duniya main kuch usool banaye hain aur unhin usoolon per eh duniya chalegi aur agar koi un usool ke against jayega chahe jaan boojh kar ya anjane main uske consequences ko bardasht karna parega. Agar ek Insan jante hue ya na jante hue poison kha le to use marna hai agar nahin marta hai to hairat ki baat hai kionke is duniya ka yahi system hai. Agar barish hogi to flood aayega aur mumkin hai us flood main 10-20 log mar jayen aur 100-200 ghar tabah ho jayen magar scientific research ki raoshni main flood main baad jo soil erosion hota hai aur poori zamin ek sire se nayee zindagi hasi karti hai usko dekha jaye to woh un mauton se barhi nemata hai. Ya jab jungle main barhe tree bahot purane ho jaye hain tab chote plants grow nahin kar pate kionke in tak na to sooraj ki roshni parhti hai aur na zamin se woh minirals le pate hain lehaza naturally taur per jungle main aag lag jati hai aur uske baad woh chote plats bhi grow karte hain agar nature ka aisa system na ho to Duniya main sirf kuch khas hi tarah ke vegetation baqi rah sakege aur baqi instinct ho jayege.
Agar koi Disease se mar jata hai to kiya koi Duniya ka insan eh kah sakta hai ke agar usko woh disease na hoti to woh kabhi nahin marta??? Ya agar koi kisi ko qatl kar deta hai to aisa nahin hai ke woh iski fana ya nabood kar deta hai balke agar koi nabood hota hain to woh Qatil hai. Magar kisi ke qatl ke baad Qatile ke amal ko justify nahin kiya ja sakta balke isse ebrat aur lessons liye jaye hain.
Dosri baat Agar eh baat clear hai ke hamne apne aap ko khal nahin kiya koi hamara khaliq hai to ab agar jisne hame khalq kiya hai use eh faisla lene ka akhtiyar hai ke kiya sahi hai aur kiya ghalat aur kab kisko marna hai aur kab tak kiskk jeena hai. Ham rh tay nahin kar sakte ke agar maut aa gayee to ghalat hua.
Magar is beech sabse ahem baat eh hai ke jaisa uper zikr kiya hai ke Allah ne is duniya main Insan ko majboor nahin banaya hai use Azad khalq kiya hai air Aql jaisi nemat di hai uske sath Shariat ka qanoon diya hai aur us qanoon ko samjhane wale Guide aur Hadi aur Rahnuma. Lehaza jo amal yahan anjam pa raha hai usmain Insan ka akhtiyar shamil hai ab agar Allah apni Rahmat ke hi zariye us Akhtiyar ko cheen ko to phir Insan ka imtehan kaisa aut fit Saza aur Jaza kaisi aur fir Nek aur Bad kon hoga aur fir Tauba ka kia matlab rah jayega.
Isliye aisa nahin hai ke jo System Duniya main chal raha hai use Allah rokta kion nahin Quran ki ayat hai Allah ki sunnat main koi tabdeeli nahin hai haan Insan apni gharaz aur lalach main uske syatem ko torhta hai to agar koi ayatem ka torega to usmain khalal waqe hoga jaise Poison ki misal di thi agar masoom bachcha khayega to woh bhi mar jayega aur ek Zalim insan khayega to woh bhi mar jaurga kion kionke Allah ne Zaher (poison) main eh asar rakha hai. Ab koi kahe ke Allah ne poison kion banaya to bhai chaqunek hi hota hai ab chahe usse Sabzi kati jaye ya ek Zakhmi insan ka operation kar ke use dobara nayee zindagi di jaye ya kisi ko maar diya jaye magar chaqu main dhar aur tezi Zulm nahin hai usko istemal karne aur uske tariqe se Insan Zalim aur Madad gar banta hai.
Bahot si Dalilen di ja sakti hain jahan se sabit hai ke agar poori kayena ke system ko uper se dekha jaye to bahot Hasern aur well disciplined way main Allah ne banaya hai aur har cheez ki apni ek jagah hai aur zaroorat hai. Magar Insan usko apne faide ke liye istemal karta hai to disturbance hota hai magar uske ke bar khilaf Duniya main aur sari creations of Gof well managed wah main kam kar rahi hai chahe woh solar system ho ya animals life ho har jagah Allah ki Adalat aur Hikmat nazar aa rahi hai.

Mai humesha chahta hu ke nek banu namaz me regular hojaun, but kuch din padhta hu fir chutne lag jaati hai namaz. Abhi 1st Ramzan se padhra tha but fir se 10 roze k baad se namaz chutne lagi. Mobile pe tym pass krne lagjata hu. Please bataiye k namaz me regular kaise banu or gunahon ko humesha k liy kaise chodu.

Allah ki tamam makhlooq main Insan ko sirf is liye imtiyaz hasil hai kion ke Allah ne use “khwahishat e insani” desires ke sath “ Irada” bhi diya hai. Aur eh Irada insan apni Aql (intellect) aur Divine Guidance ( Prophets, Quran, Aimmah) ki hidayat ki Roshni tay karta hai.
Ab agar Insan ka Irada jitna mazboot hoga ya yoon kaha jaye Insan jitna apna irada mazboot karta jayega utna apne se Shitan ko( shaitani taqaton ko) door karta jayega aur Insaniat ki manzil main aage badhta chala jayega.
Isi ke opposite jitna Irada kamzoor hoga unta Shaitan ke jaal main fansta chala jayega aur Insaniat ki mazil se door hota chala jayega.
Lehaza jab bhi Namaz ke waqt aisa khayal aaye ke abhi parh loonga abhi to bahot waqt hai bas usi waqt mind strike karna chahiye ke eh Shaitani waswasa hai ab chahe kitna hi zaroori kam hi kion na ho agar namaz se takra raha hai to samjh jayen eh Shaitan ka waswasa hai aur ab aapko Faisla karna hai ke Shaitan ki baat sun na hai ya Us Aql aur Ilahi Numayandon ki jinhain Allah ne sirf aur sirf is liye bheja tha ke Insan haqiqat main Insan ban jaye.
Aur fir jab Musalla e Ibadat per aa jayen to ab Allah ka chukr karen aur mazeed Taufiqat ki Dua mangen.
Jaisa ke khud Quran main irshad bayan hua hai ke Namaz aur Sabr ke zariye Madad Talab karo.

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ

And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing except for the humble ones,(2:45)
Allah se dua hai ham sab ki hidayat farmaye.
Fiamanillah

Kya yeh sahi hai ke agar sperm haraam tareeke se nikala jaay to paseena bhi najis hota hai

Ji agar koi haram tateeqe se mujnib hoya hai to us ka pasina najis hai.

If you wanted to repeat a Nikah (because of a mistake before) after having kids do I need witnesses? In the updated version of jurisprudence (in Arabic) it says that during the time of Nikah if the girl pretends to be happy but is hateful towards it, the Nikah is batil. My feelings have changed for my husband and I do want to stay with him. But at the time I was not aware of the rulings.

There is no need of witness during Nikah according to Shia Jurisprudence but yes at the time of Divorce there must be two just person.

There are two different conditions
Issue 2382: If Nikah of a woman is pronounced to a man without her consent, but later both man and woman endorse the Nikah, the marriage is in order.

In this situation it’s better to repeat the Nikah.
Issue 2383: If the woman and the man, or any one of them, is coerced into matrimony, and they give consent after the Nikah has been pronounced, the marriage is in order, although it is better that the Nikah be repeated.

Verdict of Ayatullah Sistani clearly says that if any of man or woman was not forced but one of them were not agree by heart and if later if they agreed their Nikah is valid because as soon as you started living with your husband that is your agreement.
None of the Islamic Shariya deals with what a person has intended deep inside his/her bottom of heart. All the Nikah is based on the consent of a woman when her Wakeel asks her about her marriage with such Mahr and person with whom she is going to be marry then her Nikah become valid.

Is it really true that Shaytaan is not present in the holy month of Ramadan? And if that’s the case, does that mean our negative actions are only from us and not the influence of shaytaan?

There are many traditions regarding this fact that Allah (swt) out of His endless mercy gives us humans a grace where we can build ourselves by controlling our own Nafs (Ammara) only but not the outer obstacle that is the whisper of Shaitan.

Actually human being by nature has two barriers of evil and two strong means of guidance.

Out of two barriers of evil one is his own wild soul ( desire ) or Nafs e Ammara which is the primary and very influential catalyst to leading human towards any evil thoughts and action and the other one is Shaitan. But Shaitan misguides Human only when his own Nafs Ammara gets dominant over his intellect. Therefore in any case it’s our own soul which causes whether we choose right or wrong path then once we have selected any of them, Shaitan’s turn comes and he portrays the things good or bad. If we have decided to do a good deed then Shaitan tries to misguide us that this act of yours is not suitable or not beneficial or not appropriate etc. But when we try to take any wrong decision then same time our Nafs e Lawama ( soul which gives us a feeling of regret that what we are going to do is not good that is our inner guide) at this moment Shaitan comes and portray that evil thing for us in a very beautiful way and tells us don’t listen to your intellect or inner guide and act according to your desire.

Second thing that we have by nature is our intellect with Nafs e Lawama which leads us in every step and tries to guide us towards right path but because in many place our own intellect is also not capable to take a right decision Allah (swt) has sent his revelation that we call Wahi ( Quran and other divine scriptures time to time) with a guide calls them Prophet and Aimmah. So when we are not capable to take right decision with the help of our intellect then Prophet comes and guide us and it doesn’t matter whether it’s the matter of social issues or spiritual issues or political issues or ethical issues etc..
Now in the Holy month or Ramadan Allah (swt) provided this opportunity for us to control our own wild souls (Nafs e Ammara) and He has stopped the influence of Shaitan for a while. And that is why for controlling our Nafs e Ammara Allah(swt) commanded us to first control our desires by Fasting (fasting doesn’t mean we should not eat and drink only but also it tells us to control our eyes from haraam sights, control our tongues from vain talks, it tells our hands and limbs not to do anything which is not good etc..).
Holy Quran tells us:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil).(2:183)

It means by Fasting one can achieve Taqwa ( not going against the commands of Allah and acting according to His commands).
Traditions say when on the Day of Judgement when we will be questioned regarding our deeds and we will blame Shaitan for our mistakes then Shaitan will argue that, “What you did was not because me but because of your own Nafs e Ammara ( wild desires) and Allah had given you inner and outer guides ( intellect and Prophecy with divine commandments) then Human would not be able to deny his acts of evil he had done out of his own material desires.
Therefore if in the holy month of Ramadan anyone does any act of evil it’s because of his own Nafs e Ammara as traditions say.

It happened that I observed something sticky on back of my foot before sleeping at night. I became mujnib while sleeping and did ghusl before seher. However after time of Namaze Fajr had commenced I remembered that sticky thing and it was still there. Is my ghusl valid? Is my fast in order? Then I read Namaze Fajr, is it valid? Do I need to redo ghusl or do qaza of fast & Namaz.

If that sticky things was not removed from you feet and it was barrier for water to teach your skin but then you realized after finishing your salat and you were aware about that thing was there on your feet, your salat and fast is ok but for other namaz you have to do Ghusl again.

I missed some fasts intentionally during my life since I became baligh but not sure exactly how many days I missed from age of balighat.
Questions
1. How would I calculate how many days I should makeup ?
2. Besides fasting for those missed days what will be kaffarah or Fidya or both ?
3. If Kaffarah is giving food to 60 poor for each day then how much food and does it have to be cooked or can it be given raw
4. Poor have to be momin or any muslim ?
5. I am planning to send money to my cousin in Pakistan and he will distribute it on my behalf. Is it ok?

It’s not easy to calculate exactly ones left fasts but it depends on his/her past lifestyle, I mean if you are sure that the environment you lived for example 20 years and you are sure that in those years you had not fasted then you will have somehow an exact number but if you know that some time you had fast and some times you had not fasting, then calculate based on that.
Shariya has given relaxation here you may choose least numbers in those years you left your fasts.
As for as Kaffārah concern it is 750 grams wheat for each fasts if you are not capable say Qadha for your lest fasts.
This Kaffārah food should be given to Miskin from Imamia otherwise if not possible you can give to at least a practicing Muslim.

I have heard in a Majlis that in books names of 313 companion of Imam E Zamana (ATFS) and place from where they will come is mentioned. Can you help me with it?

Please read this article you will find all your answers:

If you make repentance for an act, will that act still be brought up on the day of judgment?

If Allah has accepted the repentance then it would be removed from the account even Allah say in the Holy Quran that He will change your sins into Good deeds but all these depends if a person has repented his sin with sincerity and not committed it again.

A Sunni was saying my salawat in nammaz is bidah, what should my response be?

Please see the reference from Sahih Al Muslim:


Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book : 4
KITAB AL-SALAT (THE BOOK OF PRAYERS)

Chapter 14 : THE TASHAHHUD IN PRAYER
Book 4, Number 0793:
'Abdullah (b.Mas'ud) said: While observing prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) we used to recite: Peace be upon Allah, peace be upon so and so.One day the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to us: Verily Allah is Himself Peace.When any one of you sits during the prayer. he should say: All services rendered by words, by acts of worship, and all good things are due to Allah.Peace be upon you, 0 Prophet, and Allah's mercy and blessings.Peace be upon us and upon Allah's upright servants, for when he says this it reaches every upright servant in heaven and earth (and say further): I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him and offer it.

Book 4, Number 0794:
Shu'ba has narrated this on the authority of Mansur with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention of this: "Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him."

Book 4, Number 0795:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mansur with the same chain of transmitters and he made a mention of this: "Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him or which he likes."

Chapter 15 : BLESSINGS ON THE PROPHET (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) AFTER TASHAHHUD

Book 4, Number 0803:
Abdullah b. Zaid-he who was shown the call (for prayer in a dream) narrated it on the authority of Mas'ad al-Ansiri who said: We were sitting in the company of Sa'id b. 'Ubida when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to us.Bashir b. S'ad said : Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah!But how should we bless you ? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him.The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then said: (For blessing me) say: "0 Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the mernbers of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world.Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious"; and salutation as you know.

Book 4, Number 0804:
Ibn Abi Laila reported: Ka'b b. 'Ujra met me and said: Should I not offer you a present (and added) : The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to us and we said: We have learnt how to invoke peace upon you; (kindly tell us) how we should bless you.He (the Holy Prophet) said: Say: "O Allah: bless Muhammad and his family as Thou didst bless the family of Ibrahim.Verily Thou art Praiseworthy and Glorious, O Allah."

Someone asked me why Allah swt is described differently in all the books Ahl al-Kitāb.

You know well that we as a Muslim have firm belief that other than Quran there are 3 more Divinely books are there Taurah (Old Testament) Zaboor and Injil (New Testament) but but what we see now near Jews and Cristians Taurah and Injil is not the one exactly revealed on Prophet Musa (a.s) and Prophet Isa (a.s) therefore how do they explain God according to their Holy Scripture has no authenticity near us because it has totally changed.

A Sunni brother was debating about why we say “ya Ali” AS or put so much emphasis on the immaculate Imams.

Our Sunni brothers they define Tawheed wrong way or they have understood incorrect meaning of Tawheed ( Oneness of Allah)

Any individual if you bring it parallel to Allah then it’s Shirk but if anyone calls any individual after Allah it means he has already accepted that Allah is the Supreme and when he believes that Allah is Supreme then now if anyone has any power or authority he will be considered as a creation of God and effect not cause. So if Allah is the final cause for everything then there is no issue if you believe anyone is the most powerful at last he will be the effect of the final cause (I.e. Allah).
Therefore if we shia say Ya Ali madad or Ya Abbas Madad it doesn’t mean that we say that God forbid they are parallel to Allah. No never. They will always be the creation of God and creation is always lower than creator and there is even no compatibility between Creation and Creator so one can compare them.
We do comparison between two similar things not between two things which has no match. Have you ever heard anyone says my garden is as much as beautiful as my Daughter???
So we can’t compare any entity with Allah even Prophets too because Prophets are also Allah’s creation.
But as Quran say

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful.(5:35)
Allah himself asks us to seek means of nearness because they are Allah’s closets Servants. And who can deny this that Prophets are not closets servants of Allah but the problem with them is they treat Imam Ali (a.s) like other companions of Holy Prophet and Caliph so they get confused after having listen Ya Ali or Ya Hasan or Ya Mahdi (a.s).

Someone brought up in conversation about verse 35:12


وَمَا یَسۡتَوِی ٱلۡبَحۡرَانِ هَـٰذَا عَذۡبࣱ فُرَاتࣱ سَاۤىِٕغࣱ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَـٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجࣱۖ وَمِن كُلࣲّ تَأۡكُلُونَ لَحۡمࣰا طَرِیࣰّا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُونَ حِلۡیَةࣰ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِیهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبۡتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ
وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡبَحۡرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ سَآئِغٞ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞۖ وَمِن كُلّٖ تَأۡكُلُونَ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُونَ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٢

• Dr. Mustafa Khattab:
The two bodies of water are not alike: one is fresh, palatable, and pleasant to drink and the other is salty and bitter. Yet from them both you eat tender seafood and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing their way through both, so you may seek His bounty and give thanks ˹to Him˺. (12)

35:12
Fatir, Ayah 12

In this verse is Allah swt speaking about river water mixed with the cleaner side of the ocean? Because the person wanted to know how a person would be able to drink salt water for any ocean.

This ayah doesn’t ask to drink ocean water. This very verse shows the signs of Allah that when both liquids are water then why they don’t mix with each other. But anyone can say it’s because of their different densities or because of their low and high temperatures or because of their molecular bonding or because it’s speed of flow or because of the rotation of earth on its axis so one side ocean is moving anti lock wise and other side ocean is moving clock wise etc. But let me ask when Qur’an was revealed how many people in Arabia were able to read and write? History says hardly around 17 people in Makkah were able to read and write! Also some people claimed that this has been described by Aristotle 3000 years before Holy Qur’an and even in Torah ( Old Testament) and Injil ( Genesis New Testaments) has also focused on this isse but again in Arabian peninsula none of the Arab had this knowledge either about Greek philosophy nor Old and New Testaments.
But the main point which has been focused here is about the quality of water Qur’an says that don’t both water are same and while chemically they are same (H2O) but they have different properties like two human they look same but a knowledgeable person could be same as an ignorant person??
Also while they have different properties but their byproduct are same and useful for Human.
If you read the History you will find that Holy Prophet (saww) has travelled twice to Syria in his whole life and once to Taif ( near by Mecca) even if you go Syria from Makka you will not see the Ocean and one of the Arabian River and Iraqi rivers and Syrian Rivers have this type of scene of meeting two different water at same point.
These all shows that Qur’an is a divine command and not a human commands.

I recently heard the term “taqiya” and don’t know much about it but wouldn’t it be more admirable or honorable to declare your faith no matter the circumstances?

This is completely a natural behavior of all living creatures of Allah. Have you not seen how many animal whodon’t have strong body and can’t defend themselves change their skin color or those who are strong enough according to the situation change their strategy and either save their life or attack other animals. This we call nature in our general discussion so what about human who despite our intellect and wisdom if in any situation or circumstances if we stuck and face problem and we know this is not going to harm whole humanity nor whole society for example some mischievous people find you alone and say that “ say there is no God otherwise I’ll kill you” Now if I have strong faith in my Heart that there is only One God and He is Allah but if we say just by tongue that there is no God and save our life did I do wrong? No my faith is inside my heart but at this moment I have to save my life. But if the same situation come publicly and I know if I deny Oneness of Allah many people will loose their faith then now it’s haram to hide your faith and do taqaiyyah. Now I have to announce publicly that yes there is One God and if they kill me let them kill. What Imam Husain (a.s) and other our Aimmah (s.a) they did.
But Taqaiyyah is very clear and based on logic and those who deny strongly this act they also do it every day and hundreds of times in their life because it a natural phenomenon. Make sure telling lies and Taqaiyyah is different from each other. Taqaiyyah is the need of nature while lying is against the nature. That is why if you ask a five old child you like if someone tell you a lie he will say no but if you ask if someone want to harm you what will you do, he will say I’ll ran away and this running away to save your life is called as Taqaiyyah.

I was asked How someone could understand why alcohol was prohibited in stages in the Holy Quran. And why was it not immediately labeled haram?

It shows how religion Islam is based on logic and human psychology. Any addiction can not be stopped suddenly. It requires the addicted person should leave it step by step. So Islam applied the same laws rather than showing unnatural behavior and dictatorship to eradicate any unlawful act which was commonly in practice in that society

I am in a mutah marriage with a Shia woman from a Shia family. She doesn’t wear hijab and argues with me about its importance. Her idea of success is a materialistic view. I’ve expressed my longing to go to Howza (InshAllah) but she doesn’t approve. Although she comes from a Shia family, it seems we both have a very different interpretations of our purpose.

Most of the People have a misunderstanding about Islam and it’s teachings related to Material world and Material life. Islam says your house should be wide enough your means of travel should as if a person looks should not turn away his gaze, Islam says your clothing’s should like when you enter in a group people just look you who are you. Imam Ali (a.s) Poverty is a biggest death
Holy Quran says:

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مِّنْهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.(45:13)

What does it means?? All these bounties of Allah are for Non believers are for Atheists or they are for transgressors?
Of course not all the bounties of Allah for a true believer and for a true Human. So it doesn’t mean if a person becomes religious then he/she has to live a life which worst that a life of unbeliever.
But Islam says “all these things are for Human being not that the Human are for them” meaning we should not be the slave of these thing rather we have to make them our slave and whenever and wherever we wish we could use them.

First try to make her understand these facts of life and give her proofs if she is not convinced, give her time and you should have patience too.

I was ask the question of angels. As since Allah swt sees and knows all why is there appointed recording angels?

Suppose you are a doctor so if you do not give treatment to the patients, people will ask you why you don’t give him treatment but if you give treatment no one will ask you because you have knowledge and talents that must be having it’s impact. Now another question being a doctor, you have your knowledge but when you visit to a patient obviously you will prescribe some medicine after checking the patient but here if you don’t do that, being a doctor will you lose your knowledge or if you don’t use tools of checking and pen and paper for writing the prescription who is going to loose, you being a doctor or your patient? Again who needs your knowledge, you yourself or your patient? Of course your patient but again in reality who was in need of all those instruments for examination., you or your patient? Logic says your patient because these tools are means for giving benefits to the patient otherwise your knowledge is constant whether you see a patient or not.
Allah (swt) says in Surah “Ikhlas” :

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
Allah is He on Whom all depend.
He doesn’t need any angels or any Prophet but because we are limited to receive His blessings directly from Him therefore we need a connecting link. Let me clear it to you also that these restrictions are only here in this material world otherwise in paradise whatever a believer hasintended, it will appear without any mediator.
But this very World have one formula that is cause and effect and many times for achieving a goal we need many sub causes. Allah (swt) for our guidance sent Prophets and He commands His Prophets through His angels and because Prophets have power to receive Divine Commands from Angels and as they have material feelings and body to connect themselves with us also.
But yes Allah has power even to do all these without any means and mediator but then we will loose our free will and will become either like Angels or like animals therefore Allah after the creation of Human being says :

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.(23:14)
So we Human can realize that there is a creation of Allah which has only intellect (angels) there is also creation of Allah which has only desires but no intellect ( Animal) and there is the third and unique creation of Allah which has both ( Human) therefore if human follows its desires despite having intellect will become lower than Animals and if dominant his intellect over his desires he will become superior than Angels.

A friend of mine who is now Muslim, use to go to heavy metal concerts and put 666 on clothing. He now understands the evil of his past and is wondering if he could be forgiven from this ignorance of his past.

We have many verses in the Holy Quran say that if a person has accepted the right path and not committed sin after becoming a believer his past sin will be forgiven. So about the forgiveness of Allah (swt) no one can give assurance but He himself has given and He is the Most Merciful and Most Forgiving.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the right path.

What is the Shia view on Al Qadar.

Shia view regarding Divine judgment and destiny:

The Ahl al-Bayt (AS) interpreted divine judgment and destiny in such a way that both justice and divine wisdom were preserved and the monotheism of actions and problems was eliminated.
The eighth Imam (pbuh) has been quoted as saying: Some (deniers of the predestination and predestination of God) wanted to correct the attribute of God's justice, but limited the kingdom and power of God, while believing in God's predestination and predestination with divine justice. And the monotheism of verbs has no contradictions.

Imam Ali (pbuh) in response to those who did not have the intellectual background and intellectual accuracy and asked the divine destiny, said:
Divine Decree is a dark path, do not enter it. It is a deep sea, do not step on it. God forbid, do not bother yourself. They asked Imam Baqir (pbuh) and Imam Sadiq (pbuh): Is there a gap between jabr (cumpultion) and discretion? They said: Yes, more than what is between heaven and earth. Imam Sadiq (as) also said: There is no complete compulsion, no complete destiny, but there is a “middle state” between the two that no one understands except the Ahlul Bait (infallible) or the one who has been taught by the Ahlul Bait.

In another narration, it is narrated that one of the companions of Imam Ali (as) asked about fighting Mu'awiyah and his army, whether it was due to God's will and destiny. The Imam (as) said: Yes, O man! We did not ascend to any height, nor did we enter any position, except by the grace of God. The man asked: I swear by God! In this case, there is no reward for me (the man had the same popular perception that he equated judgment and predestination with the ignorance of human beings). The Imam (pbuh) said: God will give you a great reward in this jihad, when you go and return, and you will never have to.
The man asked, "How could we not have been forced to do so, when it was God's judgment and destiny?" The Imam (pbuh) said: It is as if you have considered the necessary and certain judgment (which causes the deprivation of authority). If that were the case, the reward and punishment would be null and void, and God's promise would be nullified, and God would never rebuke sinners and praise the righteous ... The man asked: What is our return to this jihad, done according to its requirements? Imam (pbuh) said: The meaning of this is that, God’s commanded us to follow His command and forbid us from sin and disobedience. At the same time, He gave us the power to obey or sin; He helps those who worship Him and causes sinners to succeed and fail miserably.
From such narrations, it is concluded that there is no contradiction between faith and belief in “divine judgment” and destiny and human authority. Because divine judgment means the certainty of a work if its cause and effect are certain. We know that one of the essential components of a person's actions is the attachment of his will and authority. That is, man's free will is one of the manifestations of divine judgment and destiny, and God has ordained that man be an independent being.
Ali ibn Aqaba says: I heard Imam Sadiq (as) says: Prayer restores judgment, even if that judgment is firm. So pray a lot; the subconscious is the key to any mercy Almsgiving and benevolence are another factor and manifestation of judgment and predestination, which are effective in "changing spirituality in changing and transforming destinies". In general, sin and obedience, repentance and hypocrisy, justice and oppression, benevolence and malice, prayer and cursing, and the like are among the things that affect the destiny of human beings in terms of life, health and sustenance. Imam Sadiq (as) has said: The number of those who die of sin is greater than the number of those who die a natural life, and the number of those who live a long life because of charity is greater than the number of those who live a normal life.

The meaning of the hadith is that sins change the deadline, and benevolence and benevolence increase life expectancy. So, although the term and age are determined by God's judgment and predestination, these things change them. Of course, this change itself is, God willing, divine.

Conclusion:
The correct meaning of divine judgment and predestination is obtained only in the light of the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt: Belief in divine destiny and destiny is necessary, but man's free will and the fact that good and bad deeds have a direct effect on our destiny is one of the divine destiny. That is, God has so willed and destined that man will do so and so at his own will.

But if you travel to whole globe East and West, North and South you will find same quran with fractions differences. Why because when the revelations of the Qur’an began, the Most Noble Messenger clearly proclaimed the Qur’an to be the word of God, and said it was impossible for any human being to duplicate it. If anyone disagreed, he ought to make an attempt to copy it, and should feel free to seek help from any source in doing so. None was able to take up this challenge and produce even a short surah similar to the Qur’an.

The Qur'an remains a book of inimitable quality, not only from a linguistic, but also from and intellectual, point of view. When Muhammad (pbuh) was challenged by his fellow countrymen to present a miracle, in keeping with the tradition of other prophets, he presented the Qur'an to them. The inimitability of the Qur'an is repeatedly emphasized in the Holy Book itself.

The Qur’an issued a challenge not only to the contemporaries of the Prophet (pbuh) but also to men in all ages. In order to demonstrate the incapacity and impotence of people to imitate it, it issued the following universal proclamation:

“Were all mankind to come together and wish to produce the like of the Qur’an, they would never succeed, however much they aided each other”. (17:88)

It then modifies the challenge and reduces its scope by saying:

“Do people imagine that this Qur’an is not from Us, and that you, O Prophet are falsely attributing to us? Tell them that if they are speaking truly they should produce ten surahs resembling the Qur’an, and that they are free to call on the aid of anyone but God in so doing.” (11:13)

Then, at the third stage, the scope of the challenge is reduced still further: the deniers are called on to produce only a single surah resembling the Qur’an:

“Oh people, if you doubt the heavenly origin of this Book which We have sent down to Our servant, the Prophet, produce one surah like it.” (2:23)

A yet stronger challenge occurs in another chapter:

“Or do they say: 'He forged it'? Say: 'Bring then a sura like unto it and call [to your aid] anyone you can”. (10:38)

Since we know that some of the shorter surahs consist only of a few brief sentences, this final challenge constituted a definitive proof of the human being’s inability to imitate the Qur’an. Can the person of today take up the challenge of the Qur’an and produce a Surah like it, thereby conquering the stronghold of Islam and invalidating the claim of its Prophet?

Let us not forget that this challenge was issued to a people whose leaders were threatened by the devastating attacks of the Qur’an - their lives, their property, their ancient customs, their ancestors, their whole social position. If it had been at all possible for the Arabs to respond to the challenge of the Qur’an, they would have taken it up immediately, with the unstinting aid of the masters of eloquence that were by no means rare in that age. Thus they would have invalidated the proofs of the Qur’an and won an everlasting victory.

Qur’an has proposed a very simple challenge to those who oppose it. Why do then the deniers of prophethood choose roundabout ways, avoiding this direct method of confronting and defeating Islam? Is not because the door is firmly closed on meeting the challenge posed by the Qur’an?

It is not that they did not try to mute the challenge. Infact, they called into play all their resources in an effort to meet the challenge of the Qur’an, but all their efforts came to naught. They were unable to point even to a single error or defect in the Qur’an, and were obliged to admit that its words were situated on a higher plane than the thought and speech of the human being.

Is there anything haram with the profession of Real Estate? Is it permissible to be in business of Real Estate?

There is no harm in this business and it’s just like other businesses unless a person is involved in haram thing which can be same as if other businesses where people do cheating then that halal business would become haram too.

What Qunoot dua would you recommend for every prayer? If you have one?

There are many Dua recommended as a Qunoot also one should recite Du’as in Qunoot from the Holy Quran:

۱- رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

‏Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.

۲-رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Our Lord! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire.(2:201)

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

‏My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.

Where was Imam Raza when Imam Musa Kazim(as) was in prison for more than 14 years and then his dead body was kept on bridge? Why Imam Raza didnt come to meet his father? Why he didn't do anything to get him released from prison and why he wasnt present when 7th Imam died? Why for 14 years Imam Raza didnt look for his father?

It is not the case as you are thinking. As I said that first of all we should remove this very common thinking that our Imams were living their life based on miracle. Allah (swt) gave miracle to Prophets to prove their Prophecy and authenticity as they are a divine leader and in the same way Allah gave power to Imams also to prove their Imamate and divine leadership. So it’s not true that they were not having a normal life. No, most of their life was normal like other Human being they were eating, sleeping, sometimes becoming sick and doing marriages having family life ect.

On the other hand if you know that this world is based on one philosophy that everything in this world works according to “ cause and effect” therefore it’s not that if a person is good and pious drinks poison, he will not get harm and if a bad person drinks normal water he will get harmed. No don’t think like that. If Hidayat (guidance) was supposed to be an act of miracle then why Allah (swt) has created us in human form and why He gave us Aql( intellect) to differentiate what is bad and what is good. Allah (swt) is capable to do what He wishes then why He doesn’t he make all human good. If this was the case then there will be a big question that why He has created us in this form while there are two other creation of Him already exist who can’t do what they wish ( angels they can’t do mistakes because they don’t have any Desire and Animal can’t any logical acts as they have only Desire but not an intellect) but the same time it’s only human being who has both and so with this power of Desire and Intellect he can decide and choose with his FREE WILL what is good and what is bad. On top of that Allah has sent 124000 Prophets and 12 Imams to guide human where their Aql can’t work or can’t reply therefore they would have no excuse for their mistakes and sins on the Day of Judgement.

Now if you read history Haroon ar Rashid (an Abbaside King) was most powerful King every in Muslims history even more powerful that Muawia and Yazid too. The other side Imam’s lives were not based on miracle yes whenever it was required to people and King’s event their divine power they showed that they are not an ordinary person as you assume but rest of the time life was normal.


Also 7th Imam wasn’t in prison for 14 years CONTINUOUSLY but from time to time the Imams were brought in from Madina, kept in Baghdad either on house arrest or inside prisons under the most difficult of conditions. But it was the Imams great Divine Characters that managed to keep them going in the most severe of conditions.
Now how it was possible for Imam Reza to bring Imam Musa Kazim ( as) from prison?

Also most interesting when Imam Musa Kazim ( a.s) was alive, he is Imam e Masoom and divine Leader of Allah on Earth and Hujjat (proof) of Allah. You know what it means? It means 7th Imam was the Most Powerful most knowledgable and most pious human being on the Earth then why he could not release himself from imprisonments of Haroon while he could have this power? Ofcourse if Imam(a.s) would wish he could release him and history shows he did many times but not always. Our Imams life was based on Allah’s not what people are thinking or people will think.

Last time when Imam Musa Al Kazim (a.s) was brought to Baghdad he was sent to different prisons at last nearby on of the Baghdad’s prison under the custody of Sindi bin Shahik (one of cruel and evil jailers of Haroon Rasheed may Allah curse them) Imam(a.s) left this material world. Therefore Imam Reza (a.s) was in Madina at that time but when the news of his Martyrdom reached to the Sulaiman bin Abi Jaffer ( who was uncle of Haroon) and one of the Shia of 7th Imam (a.s), he threw his Ammama on the ground and opened his chest and reached to Imam’s holy body and commanded his people that any how you dispersed the people of Imam then took the responsibility of Ghusl but according to rewayat of Bihar Al Anwar Allama Majlisy and Shiekh Sadooq Imam Reza (a.s) appeared by Miracle and Sulaiman bin Jaffer saw him then Imam has performed Ghusl, Kafan and Namaz while others were looking as if Haroon’s people were giving Ghusl to Imam while Imam Reza was doing it.

Why Imam didn’t come at the time of His death?
Yes 8th Imam (a.s) came and it’s Allah’s arrangement that the Knowledge if Imamate has to be transferred but as for as other affairs concern e.g his death and why 8th Imam didn’t to anything to bring Imam (a.s) from the prison at last moment these all are the part of the system of divine arrangements and most importantly these are having lessons and messages and reason to show the hidden faces of tyrant rulers of that time. They’re many things we can discuss at this moment.

I am leaving at place where no Muslim milk man available. Can I purchase open milk from kafir milk man?

No you can’t purchase if you are sure that he has touched it with his bare hand.

What's the order if wife leave home without permission? Can she join job?
What about are her daily wajibat accepted like namaz, roza?

If wife is getting her Nafaqa (expenses including all primary things woman required) then she cannot go out side from the house without her husbands permission. If she goes, her going is Haram but her namaz and fasting is ok.

Maine ahad kiya tha apni salary ka 50 % zarurat mando ko dunga, kyonki corona virus ke vajah say bohot say log berozgar hai. Us time mujhe nahi laga tha key family members ko zyada zarurat nahi hai mai kisi gareeb ko dunga jo zyada needy ho.
Ab mujhko lag raha hai kuch maire relatives bhai bhana ko zyada zarurat hai, kya ye paisa mai unko bhi dey sakta hu?

Jaisa ke aapne bayan kya hai ke “ Zaruratmand ki madad karenge” agar ismain koi qaid o band nahin lagayee hai to ab choonke aapne relatives bhi zarurat mand hai to bilkul aap unki madad is raqam main se kar sakte hain.

This question is regarding zakat fitrah which is given on the night of eid. I am a young adult and I live with my parents and my question is whether I have to pay my own zakat fitrah or will my parents do this. I also dont have any dependents.

Dependency means not that you are not taking pocket money from your parents instead of that if you are living together and your father is bearing all house expenses and generally people consider you as living under your fathers care.

During the month of ramadan, one of the days I had to stop eating and drinking at 3:37 in the morning and while drinking water, I realised that 20 seconds had past 3:37.

I was just curious as to if my fasting for that day would count or I had to keep a qadha fast considering I only drank water 20 seconds past the time I was supposed to stop.


First of all please tell if 3:37 was adhan time on that day or it was just timing to stop suhur. Sometimes in Namaz timing chart it is written Imsac time and then Adhan Time and normally there is 15 minutes gap between these two things. If it I was imsac timing then your fast is valid you are authorized to eat and drink till Adhan time but if it was exact adhan time and you knew and when you realized that you have crossed the time and the water you had in you mouth have swallowed it,then your fast will be invalid and you have to pay both Qadha and Kaffara for that day fast.

If you didn’t know the exact timing and and without enquiry you drunk water then your fast is invalid and later realized that you had eaten after finishing the time thenyou has do do Qadha of that day.

Ruling 1553. If someone realises while eating that it has become ṣubḥ, he must take the food out from his mouth; and in the event that he intentionally swallows it, his fast is invalid. Furthermore, in accordance with the rules that will be mentioned later, kaffārah also becomes obligatory on him.

What is sadqah and how can it be in actions and deeds form

Sadaqah in Arabic language has been taken from the root verb “Sidq” means “truth” therefore anything which we release from our wealth with the pure heart and with the Niyyat of seeking pleasure of Allah (swt) is called Sadaqah. In the Holy Quran even Zakat has been called as Sadaqah and the Mahr (dowry) of a bride is also called as Sadaqah( which you always here during Nikah “As Sedaqil Maloom” means fixed amount to be given to the bride).
So Sadaqah doesn’t mean a amount which we took it out from our wealth just as a least amount or sometimes torn and old used thing to give to the poor. Sadaqah is very valuable amount near Allah (swt) that is why there are many many Hadith and traditions has been mentioned from Masumin (a.s) in praise of sadaqah.
Sadaqah can extend ones death and increases our wealth and strengthen our health.

Mostly sadaqah we assume it as a money but it can be other than money too. Like if anyone in need of our advise or our time or our love and affection can be also considered as a sadaqah. Many time people don’t need money but they need our moral support like our parent who most of the time they don’t need money only rather they need our company and respect which they deserve really.

But Sadaqah in our wealth plays a very important role in our society specially if it is managed and be given and collected properly. After Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Khumeini (r.a) introduced a very helpful and managed way of collecting Sadaqah where they have very disciplined and government level offices where they collect all Sadaqah and arrange thousands of marriage from poor families and running orphanages.

Sadaqah can make a good economical balance against capitalism in society. One the best and major philosophy behind sadaqah is to neutralize our thought of being a rich person in a society and keep away from the love of materialistic thought and keep away from getting proud of having wealth. Because it is approved psychologically that it’s not an easy task that one can give his own wealth which he /she has earned after day and night struggle to others but when he/she gives it out of love of Allah and His creation his heart become soft and he becomes a true devotee of Allah (swt) that is our ultimate goal of life.
It’s really a very good practiced in Islam.
May Allah (swt) give us taufiq to serve His creation and our beloved religion of Islam as he has given us this opportunity and we don’t know how long this opportunity can stay with us.
Imam Ali (a.s) has said opportunity passes as soon as clouds moves from one place to another place.

How many days are there for widow iddat period. it's 4 months and 10 days but how many days in each month?

These four months and 10 days are counted according to Islamic calendar therefore if iddat has started in in Moharram, then if Moharram has 29 days she will count it complete month and if Safar has 30 days then she has to consider it as a one month like that she has to complete 4 months and then 10 days in fifth month.
So I can’t says 4 months equal to 120 days as it depends on moon sighting in every month. Some months finished in 29 days but some have 30 days.

My problem is I stopped praying all of a sudden for the past 2 yrs and I took my hijab off but I dont know why I did it. It just happened so suddenly. Before I used to do my 5 prayers but now I can't even read the quran or hear the quran. I really dont know what to say. I guess i am struggling with my deen. BUT I REALLY WANT TO CHANGE and whenever I try to do something better something just stops me from doing so.

As you mentioned this all happened all of a sudden but let me tell you this not strange and not even happened with you only. But the most important and hopeful thing is there in your case that you have realized that you are doing something wrong or you did mistake. This is the most important factor in case faith (Imaan). And I’m sure that this will help you a lot inshallah to bring you in your previous state .Hidayat and guidance is in the authority of Almighty Allah and He says in the Holy Quran:

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفۡسُهُ ۥ‌ۖ وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ ٱلۡوَرِيد

And indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein, [50:16]

It means He has not left you on your own, because when we human being start committing mistakes or sin and have no inner voice and regret it means now we are away from Allah’s mercy and Shaitan has over powered upon us.

First of all you have to remember and find out the exact what happened to you that you suddenly turned out from your Islamic faith? Was there any doubt in your mind unsolved or was there any action you anybody which broke your heart and you felt that you have lost everything? About your Job and its mode of work? Any friend of you that influenced you much? Your family’s behavior related to you and the environment of house was different? Because in this world two things work always in each and every issue doesn’t matter that is small of big that is “Cause and Effect”. Without any reason it is impossible a person get suddenly changed in his/her life.

Therefore first of all you have to sort out your own personal doubts. Who are you? What is your aim of life? Why do we need Religion? What Religion is really? What would happen if we do not follow the religion? What is the freedom of and what are its boundaries. Do we have any boundary in our life or being a Human we are totally free?

You ask these question to yourself ponder on it then if you need any further help i'll answer

Kia biwi pe farz hai k agar shohar usay ghr se nikalne se mana krde tou woh na niklay? Shariat mein iss ki kia ruling hai?

Shohar bohat restriction laganay ki baat krta hai k bahar nahi jao gi, makeup nhai kro gi. Apne mehran bhai behno ristedaro se baat krne ki ijazat bhi nhi deta.

Iss pe kia ehkaam hai kia ye jayaz hai k nahi?

Agar che shariyat main Shauhar ko Biwi ke upper kuch mamalon main akhtiyar diya gaya hai magar iska hargiz eh matlab nahin hai ke woh is akhtiyar ka misuse kare.
Jab shauhar apni wife ke tamam ekhrajat ko poora karta hai to use ab eh haqq hai ke woh kasa kahe wife waisa kare (shariat ke daire main) jis tarah agar shauhar apni wife se kahe ke parda na karo ya namaz mat parho ya wajib roza mat rakho to ab aise main shauhar ki ita’at karna Haram hai. Isi tarah agar shauhar kahta hai ke kisi na mahram se baat na karo to wife nahin kar sakti ( magar yahan per eh dekhna hoga ke aisa nahin hai ke islam main aurat aur mard agar na mahram hai to baat nahin kar sakte eh ghalat hai zarrori baat ho ya aisi baat jismain gunah ka khatra nahin hai to ki ja sakti hai) magar Quran main hai ke aurat jab bhi kisi na mahram se ham kalam ho to apne lahje to narm na kare aur bahot soft way main baat na kare.
Jahan tak make up ki baat hai
Ek lamha Insan soche koi aurat soche woh make up kion kar rahi hai? Shayad jawab mile take achchi dikhe! Ok correct magar sawal hai kisko dikhana hai? Agar na mahram mard ko to eh to society main fasad paida karega magar agar auraton ki Mahfil hai to koi harj nahin hai.
Dekhiye bahot si cheezen hai jinka indirect effect hota hai. Agar che mardon per utna hi hukm aata hai ke woh apni nazron ko na mahram se bachayen magar aurat ki bhi barhi zimmedari hai ke woh apne aap ko show off mat karen.
Lehaza agar aapke shauhar completely make up karne ko ghalat kahte hain to eh ziyadti hai balke aurat ke liye apne shauhar ke liye sajna sanwarna naik amal kaha gaya ha. Aur agar na mahram ke liye make up karne ko mana karte hain to bilkul sahi hai.
Aur aakhiri baat agar aap hijab main rahkar apne cousin aur apne shauhar ke bhai aur bhtijon aur cousin’s ke samne aati hain to koi mushkil nahin hai.

Eid ki namaaz miss hojaye tou phr kia krna chhaiye

Nothing as it’s a Mustahab namaz so there is no Qaza for it.

My brother and I have had questions about the religion of Islam
The basic question we have is:
– Why was the Earth created?
– As Allah is all-knowing and knew that humans will behave in the torturous ways they do in today's time, why did he create humans in the first place? Were the 14 masoomeens not enough for him, along with all the jins and angels, for his praise?
– Why did he not take away the soul off satan when he opposed Allah? Yes I understand now people would say "it is to give satan a chance" but at that time, if all the jins and angels were loyal to him, who would question it?
– If our destiny is already written by Allah, will duas and hope change anything? If we are not happy with the way our life is, but it's meant to be that way, is there a point of doing anything? And if everything is just an action-reaction, does God have anything with what we do in our lives (good or bad) and we just have to bear the consequences of our own actions?

I would appreciate if you could share some light on these questions.

The answer to the first question is that God is purely perfect; and having a purpose and aim for any of His actions is meaningless to him (because normally we fix an aim in our life so we get perfection through our aim but Allah is perfect). Therefore he creates, because creation is necessary for his essence. That, creation is the essence of Him, and the assumption of a non-Creator God, is like the assumption of a triangular square, is a contradictory assumption. Therefore it is a contradictory assumption that Almighty Allah is there but He has no creation.
Detailed Answer:
We humans have the power of imagination and reason; We have hearing and sight, our ears and eyes are instruments; We even seek perfection and awareness; and ...; These are our innate perfections, or in other words, our intrinsic attributes; In a way that if these forces are not there will be no creature in the name of man, and the defect and weakness in these forces is a way of being defective and weak in being human. Please note that having eyes and ears is not enough to see. To see and hear requires the power of sight and hearing, which are spiritual powers, which is why man sees and hears in the state of sleep without eyes and ears.


Now, if someone asks us why you see or hear? What answer do we give? We answer: we hear and we see because we are human and we have the power of hearing and sight. In the same way, we imagine, we reason, and we seek consciousness; because we are human beings and these are the nature of human beings. A being who does not have the power of hearing and sight ـ not the eyes and ears and the intellect and the imagination and the pursuit of knowledge and perfection are certainly not human beings;because it lacks early human perfections. Such a creature, if it is alive and looks like a human being, is only a human being overnight. It's like making a monkey look like a human with plastic surgery. Of course, it should be noted that the purpose of these principles is not to make them active.

God Almighty is also comprehensive of all existential perfections; He creates because He is the Creator; It provides sustenance because it is a pleasure; He gives life and well because he is Alive and .... If God did not create, there would be no God; Because if he didn't create, he wouldn't be the creator; And if he were not the creator, he would not have had this attribute of perfection; And if it lacked one of the perfections, He was imperfect, and if He was imperfect, He was not obligatory (compulsory); And a being that is not obligatory is not God. So God creates.
Because creation is his innate perfection. If we do not imagine, then we would not have the power of imagination, if we do not reason, then we would not have reason; If we do not have the authority, we would not be free. However, in the conventional view, these seem to be separate. Because they are single; And the singular adjective and the verb are, in a way, the same - does it mean a building that has not a buider and a painting that has not a painter? God, who is not the Creator, is an illusory being named God. So it doesn't make sense to say if God didn't create us it doesn't make sense to say that God would not have created us if He had wanted too. Not only is God inherently obligatory, His will, knowledge, and authority are also obligatory. The phrase "if he wanted" means "it was possible" and "possibility" as opposed to "necessity". If it is said, "It was possible for God not to create us," it means that there is a possibility in God's will, knowledge, and authority. While in the field of obligatory existence, there is no way. Because of the possibility of attributes, the possibility of essence becomes necessary; and the possibility of existence is not inherently compatible with the necessity of existence.
The result is that God's creation is his essence; and the assumption of a non-creative God is the assumption of a non-God being. Therefore, he does not create to acquire perfection, but because he has perfection in the name of creation, he creates.
From what has been said, it is clear that what God has created is the appearance of the names of His perfections, all of which are the essence of God. Therefore, all beings (creations) are the appearance of the names (Asma) of God and the appearance of the perfections of Him, the emergence of knowledge, will and free will. Therefore, God had no purpose other than creation. Creation because creation is his innate perfection. He created because He is God. If there were no creation, then there would be no God. If it is not disabled, it will certainly not be the perfect cause.
When we say God created, we do not mean that there are creatures within God. The creation of God is not like the work of carpenters and builders and painters and so on. The creation of God is like the creation of the power of our imagination, except that God is obligatory to exist, but the power of imagination is possible to exist. Just as the power of our imagination reveals imaginary forms as soon as we will, so God reveals beings as soon as He wills. Our imaginary forms do not come from non-existence, but their perfections are the imaginary power that emerges; That is, our will, in the form of which imaginary beings appear. Therefore, as soon as we take our will from them, they die in our will. Creatures are also the manifestation of God's perfections and names (Asma) and the manifestation of His will. Imaginary forms are not separate from the power of imagination; Creatures have no meaning apart from God. Imaginary forms are not separate from the power of imagination (mind) and will, but they are not the same as the power of imagination and will or part of them. Creatures are not separate from God, but they are not the same or other than Him.


Question: - As Allah is all-knowing and knew that humans will behave in the torturous ways they do in today's time, why did he create humans in the first place? Were the 14 masoomeens not enough for him, along with all the jins and angels, for his praise?
- Why did he not take away the soul off satan when he opposed Allah? Yes I understand now people would say "it is to give satan a chance" but at that time, if all the jins and angels were loyal to him, who would question it?
- If our destiny is already written by Allah, will duas and hope change anything? If we are not happy with the way our life is, but it's meant to be that way, is there a point of doing anything? And if everything is just an action-reaction, does God have anything with what we do in our lives (good or bad) and we just have to bear the consequences of our own actions?

Answer: God knows the destiny of human beings before creation and we know that many human beings go to hell, if one of them asks God on the Day of Resurrection, why did you create me? While you knew I'm going to hell, what will be God's answer?

1-Divine torment is a reflection of man's voluntary action in not using the means of guidance and not listening to the call of the inner prophet and the outer prophet.

2. God's knowledge of destiny and how beings interact and behave does not force them to err, and in fact God's knowledge reveals the actions of His servants.

3. The creation of the people of cruelty and their creation is a necessity, the devil must exist, in order to enable the growth and development of human beings in this context.

4. Although the creation of the demons of jinn and humans is a necessity, who plays this role is by choice and will, and there is no compulsion from God.



The problem with the "riddle of the creation of the people of cruelty and their torment" goes back to the famous argument of “compulsion and authority". It says, "Why did God, who knew the destiny of the creatures from the beginning, create them?" This creation is obligatory and is completely out of human control. On the other hand, even if that creature does not rebel, it will lead to the creation of a contradiction and contradiction in God's knowledge that the being is rebellious, so that being must always be in rebellion and cannot behave differently. This is another force therefore, in the form of a few points, we will deal with the connection between "God's knowledge" and "servants' compulsion or authority":

1- God's knowledge of destiny and how beings interact and behave does not force them to sin. For example, if you use a situation such as a building or a high place, you see your friend driving and you see that with this driving style, he will surely fall and you will have complete knowledge and awareness of the unpleasant consequences of his unruly behavior and rationality. And after a few minutes he gets to the natural effect of his work, are you to blame? Did you cause it to fall into the valley? Has your knowledge of the fate of his incorrect choice of driving style forced him to fall? Do governments and road engineers and car manufacturers who know for sure that many accidents are due to horseback riding, car racing, and improper use of cars and roads, are the cause of the compulsion of road accidents? God never recorded anyone's destiny in sin and transgression. This hadith has been narrated by many Islamic scholars from the Holy Prophet (PBUH): It is self-restraint to know that they have a wrong idea and that a large number of prophets are dissatisfied with them and curse them.

3- It is better to say that God knows who has used the means of guidance and who is turning their backs on it, and that torment is a reflection of the people's voluntary action in not using the means of guidance. It's like a teacher who, on the day of the start of the lesson, tells the factors of academic success and knows who is listening and who is up in the air. Naturally, he has good grades and awards for his family, and a negative grade and its troubles because he demanded the same thing with his actions.

4-So the teacher's knowledge reveals and discovers the actions of children, not their compulsion to be lazy. Therefore, theologians have said: God knows the obedience and sin of the servants, and this knowledge is the discoverer and the subject of the actions of the servants. All these protests are justified when God does not send any means to guide and at the same time expect obedience, but when the inner prophet (common sense and instinct) and the outer Prophet (Prophets and Imams) and the book (Heavenly Books) and the divine scholars (Awliya Allah and Olema’s) Prepared for this purpose, who is to blame? The one who "has hundreds of lights and goes astray"? Or punishing the offender for breaking the light? Living in today's world Life in school is the will and everyone's happiness and cruelty are in his hands. And he is the one who must move and ask God for guidance and more success.

5- God created man and made him want to evolve. For evolution, the role of the devil must be considered in order to allow growth in this context. The existence of the devil is not harmful to people of faith and those who want to follow the path of truth, but is a means of progress and development; because progress and development always take place in the midst of contradictions.

6-Although the role of the demons of Jinn and Human have a necessary role and should exist, but who will play this role is by choice and will, and there is no compulsion from God. God did not even create the devil, the devil. Because he was a companion of angels and worshipers for many years (6,000 years) but later, by his own will and due to arrogance, he took the path of rebellion and deviation and turned away from God's mercy. This is exactly what Yazid did; In other words, Yazid has accepted this role by his choice. So Yazid cannot say why God created me; Because God says creating your role was a necessity, and if he says why should I play that role? God will answer that you chose this role of your own free will and you could not be Yazid and you will be reprimanded for this.

In other words, there must be bad human beings in this system so that other human beings can fully interact with them. For example, it must be Yazidi, so that Imam Hussein (AS) and what he did will make sense, and it is in this context that Imam Hussein (AS) must reach the position of martyrdom and achieve the highest position. But God did not force anyone that he must be an example of Yazid, but that it is man himself who puts himself in that position by his own free will; therefore, he cannot hold God accountable for why I should play the role of Yazid; because there is no need at all, and he could not be like that.

7-The principle of human creation is the grace bestowed on him by God. It's like someone spreading a tablecloth and inviting people to come and enjoy the food on the table. Now, if in the meantime no one eats this food voluntarily and there are irreparable effects due to hunger, then there is nothing wrong with the host and he cannot be asked why he invited him, what if he did not invite him and His knowledge (that a certain guest did not eat) was enough to be reprimanded by the same guest for not inviting me, and if you invited me, I would eat that food.

What you asked about why God has not created us as Ahlul bait so in this concern I just mention this Quranic verse:لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ

Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability. For it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought. (2: 286)

We should not be worried if Allah has not created the Prophet because we can’t even imagine what responsibility they had and how Allah examined them and how Allah will reckon them according to their duty and responsibility in this world. Therefore what being and existence Allah has given us we will be questioned accordingly on the Day of Judgement.

Kiya Jinnat bhi *Taqleed karte hen*

Jinnat kabhi kisi marja ke pas ate hen ? Ya koi esa waqiya milta he ke Jinnat ne kisi Insaan Se Zikr e hussain karwaya ho aur majlis prhi ho ?

Beshak Jinnat Allah ki makhlooq hain aur unke liye bhi Shariyat hai aur unmain bhi Achche- Bure, Momin-Kafir jinn hai.
Magar sawal eh hai ke jab woh har aitbar se Insan se alag hai to unki Shariyat bhi Alag hone chahiye kionke unka rahna, khana Pina, sona, jagna sab kuch alag hai to fir unke Ahkam bhi alag hona chahiye. Kia koi Insan eh kah sakta hai ke Jinnat wahi cheezen khate hain jo Insan khate hai agar koi aisa kahta hai to woh nadan hai .
Lehaza ham log jab Jinnat ki baat karte hain to kion unko Insan ki tarah samajhne lagte hain. Woh hamse different hain lehaza unmain bhi Aalim aur Jahil hai to jo unke Aalim hone woh unke paas jayenge na ke hamare marja ke pass.

Can you explain me the below rule:

That the distance between the place a person is and where Jumuah prayers is going to be held should not be more than 2 farsakh (11 Km) and it would be obligatory for a person who is at the end of 2 farsakh to join the Namaz. And similarly, participation in Jumuah prayers will not be obligatory for a person who finds it extremely difficult, because of rains, severe cold and so on. Does it mean if I leave within 11km and I have no excuse I must attend Jumah prayers or does it mean I must attend 1 in 3 jumahs or it’s not totally must until imam reappears

The rule regarding friday congregational prayer is as follows:
1- The friday prayer can not be organized in two separate places within the 1 farsakh ( approximately 5 km) radius. Therefore this condition not for participants rather simply it’s about or agonizing two Jamat’s in same area.
2- Praying Friday prayer is Wahib e Takhiri ( obligation which has choice) it means when someone has offered his Friday prayer not for him no need to offer Zohr Salat and if Zohr salat has been offered now Friday prayer can’t be offered with the Niyyat of Wajib ( but Yes with the Niyyat of Mustahab one can offer like travelers).
3- Leaving Friday prayer with any genuine reason is not allowed and it differs person to person so everyone should decide is it possible on not for him. If we can go to office in extreme cold weather or while having normal flu or cold and fever then why not be there in Friday prayer?

Yes it has said said Friday prayer was Wajib when Prophet (saww) and Aimmah (a.s) were present but during major occultation it’s not Wajib aini but it’s Wajib Takhiri but its Obligation has not completely changed especially when all conditions are meeting with a person to have participation in it.

Jinns are made from fire, how can iblis burn in fire when he is made from fire

According to Quran Human being is created by clay now if you hit a man with a piece of clay will he feel pain or not if he feels pain then how while both are created from same ingredients.
Also Quran didn’t say that Jinn has been created by the fire which we use in our daily life by burning firewood or other materials but Quran mentions:

وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ

And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire.
But Quran has used the word “fire” with its quality نارِ السَّموم

Some interpretations says the word السّّموم means a poisonous gas some says heat but it’s not clear it’s the same fire which we use. Because if it was the same fire which we use to keep us warm then they might be visible but we can’t see heat.

Also if we accept they are made of safe fire even though Allah has power over everything and He shows this miraculous power when Prophet Ibrahim (a.s) was thrown in to the fire by Namrood the fire which has quality to burn everything the same fire not only didn’t burnt the Prophet Ibrahim (a.s) but became cold enough and protective for him while it wasn’t set off it was burning and people of Namrood assuming that now Ibrahim (a.s) has been burnt but then they saw he appeared from the fire alive and safely.

I am currently under treatment and take daily medication under the supervision of specialists. I try my best to exercise and live a healthy life with daily remembrance of Allah SWT and the 14 Masoomeen. When I am feeling in good health, I tend to my daily prayers, read Quran, do Zikr, and even read Namaaz e Shab. Unfortunately when I am have days where I cannot get out of bed, even reciting my daily Fard prayers becomes a challenge and often get missed.

Missing salaat really makes me feel worse, but I physically cannot get out of bed. On days I am not well, can I make up my Fard and Nafil Salaat when better?

Also, I want to recite some names of Allah or Astaghfar when I am sick but am unsure if I can do so without being in a state of Wuduu. Could I please get your guidance on this issue?

If your namaz has missed unintentionally either due illness or some other reason, it’s ok but make sure that in Islam all the rulings and shariah are conditional there is no fixed condition specially in Ebadat so for example if there is unusual conditions comes in our life then the ruling will be also accordingly. So if some is sick and can’t do Wudhu or can’t pray while standing or even sitting and can’t perform mustahhabat etc then he /she can perform his/her ebadat on very least level because that time it was his duty was up to that level. So no need to be worry that you can’t pray your salat nicely. Allah doesn’t want our deeds just He wants our commitment. So sometimes if you can pray your namaz by making signs while you have no strength to sit or stand that would be 100 better that you leave your pray and pray it with full strength.
As for as Dua and Asma al Husna concern you may recite even if you have not done Wudhu.

After one completes salaat, whether Fard, Hajaat, or Nafl, when should one make Dua? Should one finish Namaaz, read Tasbeeh Zehra, then make Dua? Or should one make Dua immediately after doing Namaaz?

According to the tradition of Masumin (a.s) one of the manners (adab) of reciting Tasbeeh of Lady Fatima (s.a) is that it should be started as soon as a person has finished his Namaz even without looking left or right or speaking etc therefore we can say we can that we should ask our Dua after Tasbeeh but it has also said that just after finishing our salat immediately we should go in Sajdah that we call “Sajdah Shukr”.

I wanted to know how to offer Namaaz with Hadiya to any of the Masoomeen. Do I make the Niyyat at the start of my Salaat and then offer the Namaaz as usual with 1x Surah Fatiha and 3X Surah Ikhlas at the end with the intention of Sawaab?

There is no specific method has discussed regarding Namaz e Hadiya for Aimmah (a.s) and normally it has said we can pray as Fajr prayer. Regarding number of rakats, we have that for example hadiya ke namaz for Holy Prophet (saww) on Friday’s has 8 rakats (4 sets of 2 Rakat) then first four Rakat is for Holy Prophet then second four Rakats for Lady Fatma (s.a) then on Saturday 4 (2x2)rakats Hadiya for Ali (a.s) and then everyday 4 Rakat Hadiya for all Aimmah (a.s) etc then at the end short Dua but in all these Namaz there has not been mentioned any special Surah’s or method rather one can say all these Namaz as morning Fajr Prayer.

What is the rulling on travelling after the noon prayer to a city 35 km away from my own city and coming back after the fajr prayer.

If anyone travels to distance going and coming minimum 44 km and his intention is stay to his travel destination is less than 10 days then his salat will be shortened and he will not fast their in those days.
Now if he start his travel after Zohr salat to a place with all above conditions he will have to complete his fast of that day doesnt matter when he will arrive to his destination and if he moves from that place to his watan ( where is is living) after Fajr salat and will reach there before Zohr salat then he will fast on that day.

I would like to know what the name Sireen means, I found this meaning online I want to know if it is correct
Sireen is a non-Arabic name. It is the name of the sister of Prophet Muhammad's wife Marria al-Qibtiyyah. She is aunt of the Prophet's son Ibraheem, and wife of Hassaan ibn Thabit, an important companion of the Prophet (saw). This is the reason why it is used by Muslims.
Is Sireen a decent name to name a baby? I really love the name but I also want to give my daughter a good name

Maria,( ماریه) who is considered by some to be the daughter of Simon, was converted to Islam by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the Prophet chose her as his wife and married her sister Sirin (سیرین)to Hassan Ibn Thabet, a famous poet and writer, who had a child named Abdul Rahman. Mariya, who may be the same name as Mary, is from the Qibtiya tribe in Egypt and therefore she is known as the Mariya Qibtiya. In the description of Mariya, it has written: She was a good white woman with curly and complex hair,” which astonished the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Mariya Qibtiya was highly regarded and respected by the Holy Prophet (PBUH). She was the second woman among the wives of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) after Hazrat Khadija (PBUH) from whom she had children, and this is the feminine sensitivity of some of the wives of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) like Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Hafsa, the daughter of Umar, openly envied her and accused her of jealousy.
Meaning of Sirin as it is non Arabic word and derived from Greek which means a “water mermaid”, which is called a nymph, which we describe as a human and half of it as a nymph.

You can give this name to you child its meaning is not bad but not also very good. Also if you see the history you will find Hazrat Mariya has been praised about her nobility and character amongst the wives of Holy prophet (saww) but history has not mentioned much more about Sirin”.
I personally always recommend to all my Family and relatives and friends please keep you child’s name after Ahlul Bait ( a.s) or Prophets (a.s) names. There are many more titles and names discussed about Lady Fatima ( a.s) and Lady Zainab (a.s) you may choose one of them. That would be better.
Imam Masum (a.s) has said parent have duties towards their children and the first and very important one is to give them good names.

Agar humne koi past main mistake ki ho or humai dar ho k woh present ya future main koi problem create karay ga to kya woh forgiveness se theek kia ja skta hai?

This world is the place where Allah sent us to become complete Human it means no one ( other that Masumeen (a.s)) is complete and perfect at his /her birth. Therefore if anyone has done mistakes in his /her life as long as he/she is alive the door or Tauba ( forgiveness) is open for him/her. So no need to be worry about your past just ask Allah (swt) with sincerely and with pure heart his forgiveness and then Rely on Him and have solid faith in Him and try not to repeat your mistakes again ( that is the real Tauba). Then nothing to do else.

Aesa kya karna chahiye jis se apke thoughts k sath actions b positive rahain. Or insan behtareen adatein ikhtiyar kar sakay?

Aisa kam hota hai ke agar insan ki thoughts positive hain aur uska action negative ho. Jabke aisa aksar hota hai ke thought negative hoti hain aur actions positive hota hai ( aise shakhs ko munafiq kaha jata hai) aur eh bhi hota hai ke Insan riyakari(dekha we) main aisa karta hai.
Lehaza agar kisi ki thoughts sahi ma’na main positive hain to use Allah ka shukr ada karna chahiye aur Nek Amal ke liye taufiq talab karna chahiye.
Kisi bhi amal ke anjam main hamare Irade ka bahot dakhil hai aur usse bhi important Allah (swt) ki zaat per bharosa aur Allah (swt) per bharosa hai aur to ab mazboot Irada ke sath kam karna chahiye aur ab kisi ka bhi khauf nahin hona chahiye. For example agar ek khatoon bachpan se hijab nahin karti hain aur dil main is baat ka ehsas aur nedamat bhi hai ( isi ko positive thoughts kahte hain) magar samajh aur friends circle ke influence ki wajah se hijab nahin karti to ab unko chahiye ke Allah se madad talab karen aur kisi ki bhi parwah kiye beghair hijab karna shuru kar den. Ab iske liye insan ko chahiye ke Allah ke Nabi (saww) aur Ahle bait (a.s) ki zindagi ko namoona banaye aur dekhe ke unhone kaise un mushkil gharhi main apne aapko ek lamha ke liye Allah ke raste se juda nahin kiya.

Dua kis neyat se mangni chahiye?
Kya main is neyat se mang skti hun k maine iske liye dua ki hai to Allah badle main mjhy bhi kuch dega. Kya yeh sahe hai?

Agar Insan kisi dosre ki behtari ke liye Allah se Dua karta hai to eh Uski greatnesses( buzurgi) Aur Sincerity (Ikhlas) ko show karta hai lehaza behtar yahi hai ke is maine apni gharaz shamil na ki jaye (agar che aisa karna ghalat nahin hai) magar eh thora cheap maloom hota hai aur insan ka tajerana zahen isse maloom hota hai. Haan Allah ki bargah main Insan apne liye bhi jitna chahe beghair kisi qaid o band ke mang sakta hai. Lehaza jab apne liye maanga jaye to bhi dosron ko shamil kiya jaye aur jab dosron ke liye dua ki jaye to apne ko shamil na bhi karen to eh Allah ke karam aur Azamat aur Buzurgi ke khilaf hai ke woh aapke zariye dosre ki haq main ki gayee dua to qabool kar le aur aap ki khud ki Dua radd kar de.

I wanted to know the meaning of this hadith

Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, Book of Tax (Zakat), Hadith 556
Narrated Sad (bin Abi Waqqas) :

Allah's Apostle distributed something (from the resources of Zakat) amongst a group of people while I was sitting amongst them, but he left a man whom I considered the best of the lot. So, I went up to Allah's Apostle and asked him secretly, "Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Or merely a Muslim (Who surrender to Allah)." I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Or merely a Muslim." I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Or merely a Muslim." Then Allah's Apostle ﷺ said, "I give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he may be thrown in the Hell-fire on his face (by renegating from Islam)."

Does this Hadith justify the notion that we should not give zakat to some Muslims? I didn't understand why the prophet didn't give the man zakat

What can be understood with the above text is that Prophet Muhammad (saww) used his knowledge of unseen about that individual like Prophet Khizr (a.s) acted upon his knowledge of unseen in the story of Prophet Musa (as).
But as long as we ordinary human being we do not have divine knowledge therefore we cannot act in that way as Holy Prophet (saww) acted as we don't have that type of knowledge.
Furthermore, it us not correct to decide Fiqh rulings merely based on 1 Hadith. To decide about Fiqh issues we need to have many knowledge of different islamic dimensions for example Quranic sciences, ilmul Hadith, ilmur rijal (genealogy of the narrator of hadith) correct Arabic grammar ( Nahv and Serf) Logic and Usool al Fiqh etc.. And for all these we need to spend 10-20 years in any Islamic seminary to acquire prerequisites of Ijtihad.
But as Jurist says we can give Zakat as follows:
* Zakat can be distributed in eight ways:

1. It can be given to a poor person (faqīr). A poor person is defined as someone who does not possess the means to meet his and his family’s expenses for one year. Therefore, someone who has a trade, or property, or capital by means of which he can meet these expenses for a year, is not a poor person.
2. It can be given to a needy person (miskīn). A needy person is defined as someone whose living conditions are worse than that of a poor person.
3. It can be given to a person who has been appointed by the Imam (ʿA) or his representative (nāʾib) to collect and safeguard zakat, maintain its accounts, and deliver it to the Imam (ʿA), his representative, or to the poor (fuqarāʾ).
4. It can be given to disbelievers (kuffār) who will be inclined to the religion of Islam if zakat is given to them, or who will assist Muslims in battle or in some other matter. Zakat can also be given to Muslims whose faith in some of the noble Messenger’s (Ṣ) teachings is weak but which will be strengthened as a result of giving zakat to them. Furthermore, zakat can be given to a Muslim who does not believe in the vicegerency (wilāyah) of the Commander of the Faithful [Imam ʿAlī] (ʿA) but who will be inclined to believe in it if zakat is given to him.
5.It can be given to a person who is in debt but is unable to repay his debt.
6.In the way of Allah (fī sabīl allāh), i.e. acts that benefit the general Muslim public, such as building mosques and religious schools, keeping the town clean, tarmacking and expanding roads, and suchlike.
7.It can be given to a stranded traveller (ibn al-sabīl).

I have a question regarding fasting during an exam. This upcoming week I have (without exaggeration) the most important academic exam I will take in my career. I get one attempt and my performance dictates what subset of my career I can enter. Normally with exams that I have during Ramadan I simply keep my fast and power through, but this exam is quite strenuous and is 8 hours long. Additionally I have a back problem (minor) called scoliosis where sitting in the same spot for extended periods of time gives me uncomfortable back pain. Again, I would normally just power through, but it begins to become very painful after a few hours of sitting, and if I can avoid this distraction specifically during my exam by using Advil during my exam (as I have had to do during previous long exams) I would prefer to do so. The back pain alone would not normally warrant me breaking my fast.
My question is if I am allowed to not fast on the day of my exam and make up the fast after Ramadan? I would not consider this option normally, but knowing how important this exam is and how taxing it is, i wonder if it is permissible for me to do this.

The issue related to fasting that who can fast and who can’t fast is very simple.
Those patients who are sick from beginning and their sickness is continue and they are on compulsory medication for them their is exemption.
But if anyone on the basis of doubt wants to drop his fast and just have doubt that if he fasts he might face problem, in this there are two groups:
1- Those who are not strong enough but also not taking any compulsory medicine or if they are taking medicine, can’t change its timing for example diabetic patients who take insulin so they can take it at sahr and Iftar. Otherwise if their condition is not suitable they will be amongst first group ( as Quran says those who sick or on journey can drop his fast and do on other days after the holy month of Ramadan)
2- Now you are in this 2nd group who has doubt that if you fast you might have pain or exertion etc. Therefore in your case you can’t eat and drink from beginning, you have to fast that day and if you feel that you have unbearable condition then you can break your fast. Otherwise there is no reason for you to break your fast at very beginning I mean since morning you can’t.
The last way remains for you that you travel that day out of you city that would be 44 Km going and coming but the city is big like New York, Toronto etc they you must calculate 44 km after the official city boundary according to municipal authorities declared. Then after leaving “Hadd e Tarakhus” ( City Boundary) you can break your Fast and then you can come to your Watan ( your own city) but once you are in your own city you can’t eat and drink as much as you wish rather you can eat and drink as required. And also you have to follow the dignity of the Holy Month or Ramazan( I mean not allowed to eat and drink openly).

What day of the week was it when Imam Hussein (AS) was martyred?

Hazrat Aba Abdillah Al-Hussein (PBUH) was martyred in the afternoon of Friday the 10th of Muharram (Ashura) in the year 61 AH in the land of Karbala by Shamar Ibn Dhi Al-Jushn (1) and with his martyrdom he insured Islam forever.

I wanted to know the correct method of wudhu as I want to be sure that my method is correct

Do Niyyat for Wudhu
1- Mustahab action: wash you hands two time from wrist to the tip of the fingers.
2- Mustahab Action: put the wayer inside your nose (normal way not really try to reach water deep inside your nose) 3 times
3- Rinse your mouth I mean do gargling 3 times.
4- Wajib action: pour water on you face 1st time with the intention (niyyat) of wajib and 2nd time with the intention of Mustahab. Wash your face in lenght start from top from where your hair grows down up to the chin and in width put your palm on your face in order to its thumb finger goes to the ear and the middle finger goes to an other ear that is the wajib area must be washed in your face. As a precaution or become satisfied you can rub or pass your hand in all area if your face.
5- Wajib action: Wash your right hand 1st time with the intention (niyyat) of wajib and 2nd time with the intention of Mustahab. Wash it from elbow up to the tip of you finger ( make sure in case of face and hands do not wash them from bottom to top always wash them from top to bottom otherwise you wudhu will become void.
6- Do Masah (wipe) in your 1/4 part of the front head in such a way if your hair are as much as long that comes down to your eyebrows then you have touch the skin of your head with your wet fingers otherwise if hairs are short enough then you do masah by rubbing or passing your wet hand your first part of the head.
7- Now at end with the same wetness on your palm do masah of you feet in a way that your hand should move not your feet and also if your feet is wet with droplets of water then before doing masah you dry them.

What was the age of Bibi Khadija (S.A) at time when she was married to Prophet (S.A.W)

And previously was Bibi Khadija (S.A) married to?


We have many different history regarding the marriage of Bibi Khadija (s.a). Many Shia historians do not accept that she was married before. They say she wasn’t 40 years old at her marriage time with Rasool Allah (saww). Some said she was just 2-3 years older that Rasool Allah. Even many Shia historians do not accept that Aisha was just 9 at her marriage time and they say she was at least 19-20 years old.
Even in Holy Prophet’s birth, mostly Sunni Historians believe 12 Rabi Ul awwal and Shia says 17 so when the personality Like Holy Prophet ( saww) around whom whole Islam is rostering, his both date is not one then don’t be amazed. It’s just Historical issue and doesn’t play any role in our faith. Our faith is that Lady Khadija ( a.s) was a pious Lady and was on Monotheistic religion. She never worshiped idols. A woman can’t be the mother of a Woman who is the leader of the women of the Paradise. Our Aimma’s mothers were all pure woman and selected from Allah (swt), they were not an ordinary woman.


Yes, there are many books ans many Shia scholars have reported and mentioned in their books that she was married and she was older than Prophet (saww).

But there is point that Muslims after passing 1400 years still we have not understood that In Islam or even in any Religion these factors have no role and in our character and personality. Our age, martial status. our wealth etc... has no role
Lady Mariyam was virgin and unmarried but she is one of the 4 chosen woman by Allah amongst all woman of the universe.
Prophet Isa and Prophet Yahiya Allah appointed them on Prophecy in their infancy.
Abuzar Ghaffari (r.a) amongst the all companions of Holy Prophet was the poorest but what status he has.

We should look the Sacrifices of this great Lady. We should look her devotion towards Allah while she was princess of Arabia but since she became the wife of Holy Prophet she considered herself as a slave woman of Rasool Allah. She use to cook bread and go to Cave of Hira in “Mount Noor” She left her palace and lived in “ cave of Abu Talib” we say Shabe Abi Talib for three years and after the social boycott of Kuffar of Mecca and because of that she passed away.
So even if other wives of Rasool Allah were virgin or young and not married but none can reach to the greatness and character of Lady Khadija (s.a) up to an atom weight.
Allah has chosen her amongst 4 woman who are the leader of all woman in this universe and greater than all the woman.

I have been always a movie fan and also reads for pleasure,
One of my favourite book/movie is hobbit, My mind have been preoccupied with it 40%,Does it affect your soul?

For sure what we eat what we watch what we listen and what we do all these things affects us and not only these things affects us only but they play very important role in building our character also. Therefore we should be very careful about what we do and what we eat and drink and watch in our day to day life.

How to improve your qualities of prayer, in the sense of it will be served as your meditation, and how to feel peace after praying?

We should always consider Allah’s pleasure in all our affairs of life it’s not only restricted that when we are doing our rituals or prayers we have to focus on it. Therefore if we remember Allah (swt) and seek his acceptance then inshallah we will see the quality of our actions. In Islam meditation means sincerity and devotion in our actions so if we achieve it our actions will be valuable otherwise if we are sitting whole night in meditation mode without sincerity ( Ikhlas) then it’s waste of time.

How to reflect on Something, (e. g what you learn, etc.), I don't know how to do taffakur

Before going to this journey, first of all you have to know exactly what does thought mean and what do we know about it. Please read below and understand what is Tafakkur mean inshallah I hope you will get your answer:

Mystics consider thought to be the first part of the inner state and the starting point of mystical journey and behavior and have said that travel is of two types:
1- One of the mold travels that takes place in the world of Asfal (material world) and its destination is objects, people and worships, and this type of travel needs mobility and its mechanism is stepping from one place to another.
2- The second is the journey of the heart in the higher world and its destination is the effects of power and the rule of industry and spirits which is done by thinking and its mechanism is insight and vision and it is also called inner journey.
In explaining the second meaning of travel, that is, thinking, there are two types of thinking: 1- The first type belongs to "head", which is the same as reasoning and reasoning.
2- The second type of thought is the heart, which belongs to the "heart," and is the dual process of disconnecting from oneself and connecting to God. The word "thinking" has two definitions, one related to the field of ethics and mysticism, and the other is the term meaning in the science of logic and logical definitions.
Ibn Sina (Avicenna) great Islamic Philosopher says the logical definition of thought: "What is meant by thought is that which is realized by man's determination to convey what is present in his mind (whether imaginary information or acknowledgment) to that which is not present in his mind."

Therefore, according to Ibn Sina, thinking is the same as the movement of the mind from its information and knowledge to the unknown, in order to discover and solve them and achieve the desired.

Abdul Razzaq Kashani says: "Know that thinking is the search for and gaining insight to achieve the truth."

Seyyed Sharif Jorjani describes thinking as follows: “Thinking is the light of the heart by which good and evil and benefits and harms of the heart are seen, and that garden is the tree of truth.

Also it has been said that the thinking is the farm (field) of the truth and causes the destruction of the worldly desires and the survival of the Hereafter, as well as it is also the source of wisdom.

How to effectively study Islam, is there anyway to increase memory and ability to understand, because when i read something I usually forgot it

There are many books where you can find the real message of Islam or you can have true knowledge of Islam.
Please read this book

https://www.al-islam.org/shiite-anthology-sayyid-muhammad-husayn-tabatabai

There are many books you can find regarding the life history of Aimmah (a.s) or biography of 12 Imams (a.s).
One of them which covers both biographies and their Socio- political life is “ The Lives of the Twelve: A Look at the Social Political Lives of the Twelve Infallible Imams”

Does Yahweh and Allah are the same? And also explain


Religion Islam has started from Adam( a.s) and completed with our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saww) so Prophet Adam (a.s), Noah (a.s) Ibrahim (a.s) Musa(a.s) and Isa (a.s) all they were Muslims. Therefore what names they have used at their time in their language for Allah or God are the same. But if today Jews and Christians they mean different meaning by Using Yehweh or God with Allah as they say differe qualities about the God then it would be different from what we Muslims meant by Allah and His Holy Attributes otherwise Yahweh of Moses (a.s) is the same as Allah what Prophet Muhammad (saww) has said.

What is the importance of seeking knowledge, reading books and whats the effect of it? Whats the advantage of knowledgeable person to the unlearned one thanks?

How do I ignite my passion and love for learning. It seems I instantly lose my interest and passion for learning and gaining knowledge due to fact I think knowledge is useless and lost motivation


All our our problems starts due go ignorance either in our physical world and needs or spiritual needs. The very first this Allah (swt) taught Prophet Adam (a.s) was Names (Asma), first Ayah revealed to Prophet (saww) says Iqra... read with the name of your Lord who has created ....
Quran says in Surah Zumar:

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know and those who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful.(39:9)

Holy Prophet (saww) has said
Seek knowledge while you might travel China.
But unfortunately we Muslims left that main teachings of Islam and today after having all resources we most of the Muslim countries are puppets of few western countries. All these examples are enough to understand the importance of Knowledge.

How one can deny the importance of knowledge. Write now the phone im using and same time we are in 180 degree opposite direction but because of Knowledge we can communicate with each other. Knowledge is life, how can we deny it? Our beloved book Holy Quran is the best example of Knowledge.
Holy Quran says:

إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ
‏“Those of His servants only who are possessed of knowledge fear Allah.(35:28)

I find myself to be a Skeptic person means who doubt even the simplest thing in religion of Islam, for example the hadith, the authenticity of the books, fundamental beliefs and more
And I have passion to strengthen my belief by seeking knowledge
But it seems being skeptic affect me in any ways when gaining knowledge. In Islamic Perspective, how to stop doubting everything and be certain anyway?

The best way get be satisfied with any Hadith or materials that tells us about the Islamic faith or ideology is the Holy Quran so if you have doubt about any Hadith or sayings or traditions commonly practiced in Islam compare it with Quran if it’s against the principal of Quran then it would not be true.

But let me tell you one thin,g as far as Hadith are concerned, it’s true there are many traditions we have in famous Islamic Hadith books that are fabricated and Israelite ( at the time of Caliphate specially at the time of 2 and 3 caliph and during the Kingship of Muawia many Jews they accepted Islam just for their own benefits and started mixing many customs and cultures of their religion in Islam by the name of Hadith). One of famous example of their work is the famous book which was written by Salman Rushdi named “Satanic Verse” all the material he used in this books most of they are found in our Islamic books written at the time of Banu Umaiyyah and Banu Abbas. This is unfortunate very common and frequent practice of all emperor and King’s and even today in modern system of governance that these rulers fabricate many things by hiring few so called Scholars to fool the people and rule according to their own wish. Like when in early 19th century Son of Saud (Ale Saud) came in power they used the ideology of Ibn Taimiyah and the man who implemented them was Abdul Wahhab then the Saudi Government came in power with the help of British support and they spread Salafist ideology up many decades and now we can see their results in the shape of Al Qaida, Taleban and ISIS. I’m not saying all this because I’m shia. Anyone can go and find all these literature and thoughts on internet.
Therefore there are many Hadith we have in Islamic books as the fabricated one.
But despite all these there are many many Hadith we have that are Authentic and have complete chain of narration and both Sunni and Shia historians and scholars and Jurists have approved them and not only they approved them but even many Quranic verse support them too. For example when Christians of Najran were not accepting the Prophesy of Holy Prophet (saww) Ayah of Quran revealed and Allah (swt) commanded to Holy Prophet that now no need to have debate with them because we always do debate with those who accept logic. So now you do Mubahela with them. In that you curse on those who is saying lies and then Allah will punish liars. Christians of Najran denied of doing Mubahela and surrendered themselves.
(https://www.al-islam.org/articles/event-or-eid-al-mubahalah)
Verse of Mubahela;

فَمَنْ حَاجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ

But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.(3:61)
Now why I’ve told all this big story that you may research that for Mubahela whom did Prophet (saww) brought with him against Christians of Najran.
His Alhlulbait ( Him solo Holy Prophet, Imam Ali, Lady Fatiam, Imam Hasan and Imam Husain )
This Hadith you can find in both Shia or Sunni Books.

Does being open minded in others religion or ideology for such instance that can influence you is OK?

As for as being open minded towards other religion concern there is no issue itself but if one has not strengthened his own faith in Islam then most probably he would be misguided( it doesn’t mean that one should be narrow minded). First we should have clear proof and learn philosophy of our own religion then he can do research or comparative studies because many times we have observed that there are many scholars who born in Muslim family but unfortunately have no knowledge of Islam and have university degree in western philosophy or Buddhism philosophy or Hindu Philosophy and the other side they didn’t have any knowledge in Islamic philosophy. Rather they have practically seen the behavior of ISIS like people and their ideology then reached to this conclusion that Islam has said nothing about spirituality and humanity and human rights but other religion are very peaceful and work in humanitarian cause. While if we study Islamic spirituality and rights we will find that none of the religion have such treasure of knowledge as Islam has.
So be free and learn what others say but same time build your own faith stronger in Islam.

Does watching the videos of non Muslim work about islam such as Islamic History by western scholars recommendable?

Yes there is no problem but make sure that if it has wrong message or manipulated history ( as you know the main aim of Orientalists and Orientalism was to misguide Muslims from their own faith and history) then you have to explain for them at the moment that this not real Islam. Children are just like clay, any shape you want you can give them,
So please be careful if you want to show anything which has been created outside the Islamic culture. Because 100% it would have a message where they would defame Islam even sometime we can’t realise.

Are there any situations were taqyyiah is haram?

There are many places where it’s not obligatory to do Taqaiyyah for example:
1- Taqiyyah is not in killing one's soul, a Muslim cannot kill anyone for fear of his life, property and honor, because the legislation of Taqiyyah is to prevent the shedding of blood.
2- Taqiyyah is in cases where a person repels a lot of losses, so in small and small losses, Taqiyyah is not obligatory.
3- It is not obligatory for the taqiyyah to wipe ( masah) his shoes during ablution (Wudhu) or to drink alcohol, or to abandon the mut'ah of Hajj (men and women enjoying their wives in the interval between the Umrah of Tamta 'and the Hajj of Tamta'). However, the lack of necessity in the mentioned cases is specific to the infallibles (peace be upon them), who has mentioned this feature in his hadith as "Zorarah" and has considered it as one of the special cases of the saints of the Infallibles, peace be upon them all.
4- Abstinence from Amir al-mu'minin Ali (pbuh) is not obligatory during Taqiyyah, and man can prepare his neck for martyrdom instead of abrogating the sweet existence of the one who has the mercy of mercy, in which case he has undoubtedly bought eternal paradise for himself. Therefore, the martyrs who were martyred by the Wahhabi group of misguided people and were martyred are all in eternal paradise, and of course, in this case, they can perform taqiyyah.

Mutah ke baad jo ladki ka Iddah rehta hai, kya usme baat karna jayez hai? Kya ladki na mehram nahi rehti hai jab tak Iddah khatam nahi hota?

Temporary marriage main jaise hi muddat khatam huee dono ka mahram iyar ka rishta khat ho jata hai. Kion is case main Talaq nahin hai sar o kar muddat (time period) per hai. Ab aisi soorat main Mard ka eh koi haq us aurat per nahin rah jata. Jahan tak baat iddat ki hai, usse mard ka koi sarokar nahin eh tab hota hai ke jab permanent marriage main talaq diya gaya ho to Iddat poori karne tak woh uski wife hi rahegi aur mard ko uska poora kharj dena parega aur apne ghar per rakhna bhi parega. Ab agar Iddat poori hone se pahle dono main se koi Rujoo (approach) kar len to unhain mazid nikah karne ki zaroorat nahin hai fir se pahle ki tarah sath rah sakte hain. Magar Mut’a main aisa nahin hai.
Lehaza jahan tak baat karne ki baat hai baat karne main koi mushkil nahin magar aisi koi baat nahin ki ja sakti hai jo akhlaq ke daure se hat kar ho.

If I marry again my daughter will not be mahram to that man. It will be difficult staying in the same house for my daughter where she will have a non mahram all day long

No who said if you marry your daughter will be na mahram. He will be her father (step father) and according to Islamic Shariya step father and stem mothers are same as real father and mother. They are completely Mahram and all the children from another Husband or wife are brothers and sisters and they are Mahram for each other. But about cousins the rule is same as if they are real cousin or step cousins both are na mahram.

I just wanted to know is there any literature and text or some books regarding single parenting in Islam.
I’m seperated and have a daughter to raise all by myself.
Can you suggest me some books where there are references from ahlul bayt as and it can be of some help to me.

Also any advices on how to raise her all by myself so she doesn’t grow up to be an insecure person and is confident enough. Especially on how do I make her understand when she’s like a year or two old because we live in a compound with all my relatives around her cousins her age have their dads so tomorrow when she asks me about it how do I start? What do I tell her?

She is still so young but of course your worries is genuine. Children are like a soft clay, whatever shape you want you can give it. So don’t think they can’t understand what you teach. Yes they can’t do analysis but they copy it and save it in their mind therefore whatever way you will adopt for your life, your child will copy you.

Why is wood cutting business halal as it destroys nature and cutting of trees.

It depends on the nature and need of the society but itself cutting trees for the need is allowed. Same as selling knife is not haram itself because the main purpose of knife is to use it for household works. Doing anything without purpose and reason is not allowed in Islam. Also we have to evaluate the purpose if it’s consequences are more severe than its need then as an obligatory precaution it must not be done.

If sunset is 9:14pm in my city, how long after is it considered to be maghreb time?

Around 15 minutes after sunset the redness disappears from the horizon. That is Maghrib time. Some times in north Maghreb Azad starts after 20 minutes after sunset.

If a lady was to insert a type of medication or object into her vagina for treatment of an infection would this invalidate fasting. Does this also require ghusl after the object is removed?

Neither this act requires wajib Ghusl ( as for as hygiene concern she can take bath) nor it will invalidate her fast.

Is a lady required to cover herself including a hijab to read The Holy Quran at home?

No there is no such restriction for reciting Holy Quran.

What do you do with broken sajday gah that can no longer be used? we have been cleaning our Imam baragah and there are lots of broken sajday gah

If it’s not possible to do Sajdah on it then you use all them and make another new sajdahah.

I wanted to make up the fasts I missed during Ramadan straight after Eid. I celebrated Eid yesterday and kept a fast today. however, I have read now read online that I should not have fasted the first 3 days after Eid. Will my fast still be accepted?

Your fast is valid only on two Eids (Al Adhha and Al Fitr)it’s Haram to Fast on that day otherwise rest of the year having other conditions of Fasting on can fast.

I recently heard from a lecture about Prophet Yusuf. The lecturer said thst Prophet Yusuf did not go to greet his father, Prophet Yakub, but instead stay put, and because of this, Allah stopped the prophethood from his lineage. Is this true? I am a troubled by this as I thought prophets are men of the highest moral characters. Please shed some light on this matter.

The narration people talk about it that Imam Sadiq (as) says: “The reason why the sons of Yusuf (AS) did not reach the Prophet is because when his father went to Egypt, he got off his horse later than his father, and God did not appoint prophet from his progeny because of this “Tark-e -Awla”.[1]
In examining this narration, we find that there is a difference between the two narrators in the chain of narration [2], so this narration cannot be accepted.

However, Qur'anic verses state that Yusuf (as) held the utmost respect for his father and acted according to God's command; As the Holy Qur'an says:
«فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَی یوسُفَ آوَی إِلَیهِ أَبَوَیهِ وَقَالَ ادْخُلُوا مِصْرَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِینَ(یوسف /۹۹)

"Then when they came in to Yusuf, he took his parents to lodge with him and said: Enter safe into Egypt, if Allah please."(10; 99)
The words of this noble verse can be proof that Prophet Yusuf (AS) had gone out of the city to greet his father and companions and was waiting for their arrival, and when his father and companions entered, Prophet Yusuf expressed special love for them. And after performing the welcoming ceremony, he asked his father and companions to enter Egypt and settle in that land; Otherwise, the word "entry" had no place, but the word "meeting" and the like were appropriate. Although Allameh Tabatabai has a detailed discussion about the story of Prophet Yusuf, he has not mentioned that Prophet Yusuf did not come down and that was the reason the continuation of prophet hood cut off from her generation. [3]
On the other hand, there are Prophets in the sources who are descendants of Yusuf (Joseph). Yusha (Joshua) ibn Nun ibn Ephraim ibn Yusuf ibn Ya'qub was a prophet who was considered the successor and guardian of Prophet Moses (pbuh). [4] In addition, in another report, another descendant of Ephraim bin Yusuf has reached a prophet hood. [5] There is also a prophet named Jesus, a descendant of Ephraim ibn Yusuf. [6]

Thus the aforementioned Hadith and what commonly people talk about Prophet Yusuf (a.s) did not match with the Ayah 99 of Surah Yusuf. Also there are many proofs how much Prophet Yusuf respected his father.
Secondly there are several prophets in his generation.
Therefore, what is known to have been removed from the descendants of Prophet Yusuf due to lack of respect for a prophet is not acceptable.

I was reading the commentary of Surah 17 v1 from Mir Ahmed Ali's and he said that Imam Ali was with the Prophet throughout during the mi'raj. This is the first time I heard if it . Is this the view of all the learned ulama from the Shia faith?

Me’raj (Accession) of Holy Prophet(saww) has different philosophy and logic. No doubt he (saww) is the last Prophet and the seal of prophecy, his accession has many proofs and logic behind it therefore if we say Imam Ali (a.s) was with him we have to give same proof and need anyway I also did see that Imam Ali (a.s) with him in the night of Me’raj but what we have in traditions is that In many hadiths narrated by Shiites and Sunnis, it is stated that the Messenger of God (PBUH) saw the face of Ali ibn Abi Talib in the heavens and when he asked Jibreel, he replied: Because the angels of the heavens were eager to meet Ali (AS). God Almighty created this angel in the form of that Imam, so whenever we become eager angels to meet Ali ibn Abi Talib, we come to see this angel.

In this ayat , the translation is 'it is not for any soul to believe except by Allah's permission '. Can you please explain this in the context of freewill?
Also can you provide me books or literature that address such verses of the Quran?

Man is free and faith is based upon one’s voluntary choice; it is not to be accepted under compulsion or by imposition.
Allah is Omnipotent and Omniscient, employing His power in such a way that it does not run contrary to His Knowledge. And as His omniscience requires mankind to be free, He never compels them to accept faith by force.
The Prophet (S) has compassionately insisted that people accept the faith on the basis of voluntary acceptance and not through compulsion.
The verse says:
“And if your Lord had willed, whoever is on the earth would have believed, all of them, all together. Will thou then compel the people till they become believers?”
‎وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَيَجْعَلُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
“And it is not for a soul to believe except by the Will of Allah, and He appoints uncleanness (of infidelity) on those who do not ponder.”(10:100)
People are neither compelled to accept the faith (according to the previous verse) nor can they succeed in accepting the faith without His guidance and Divine Providence.
Divine favor and Divine Providence shine their light upon the sage and those people who use their reasoning and he who does not meditate and reason under his own volition, will suffer His Punishment and will abide in wretchedness.
The verse continues saying:
“…and He appoints uncleanness (of infidelity) on those who do not ponder.”
Sound reasoning provides the basis for faith and having no faith exhibits ignorant and irrational behavior.

Is there only one angel of death to take the life of human beings in this world? How does he take their souls at the same time?

First of all, we would like to make a rational point that there are temporal and spatial limitations in the material world. But beyond the material world there is neither temporal or spatial constraint. In the material world, if someone was here, they could no longer be anywhere else. If it was at this time, it could no longer be another time. In fact, It is being held at a specific time and place. But in the world of non-material, this limitation does not exist at all. They are surrounded by time and space and are superior to time and space. Angel of death Izrael (pbuh) is also a non materialistic creature and does not have these limitations.
This point is clearly stated in the narrations. In some narrations, we are asked about Izrael, how can you take the life of one person in the east of the world and another life in the west of the world at the same time? He said: If you have a container, how do you feel about that container? You can touch any corner of the container. The whole earth is like a vessel to me that I can touch any corner at any moment where I want.
The next point is that Hazrat Izrael (PBUH) is not alone. He has angels under his command, that is, in fact, the “Wafat” of the souls is longitudinal. The main intercessor is Himself Almighty God. "Allah Takes the soul during the deaths". Then the agent of Almighty God is an angel named “Malak Al-Mmut”. Of course, the Malak Al-Mmut is the name of the Genger that we call all those angels (who takes the soul at the time of death), but Hazrat Izrael (pbuh) is the angel close to God who is the head of all the angels who are in charge of receiving souls. Hazrat Izrael (pbuh) also has many angels under his command who take the lives of human beings.
In the verses of the Qur'an, this matter is mentioned a lot: " توفته رسلنا " Our messengers take his soul, not Hazrat Izrael (PBUH). In some verses we have:
" إن الذین توفاهم الملائکة ظالمی أنفسهم "Those who’s soul angels have taken while they have oppressed themselves; There are many verses in the Qur'an that introduce the “توفی “ as angels. Therefore, Hazrat Izrael (PBUH) is not alone.
There is also the monotheism of actions (توحید افعالی) in the case of taking the souls. That is, they are along the line of Almighty Allah, Hazrat Azrael (PBUH) and the other angels, and it’s not that they are parallel to Almighty Allah. This is an opinion and this opinion does not contradict the first opinion. In any case, those who take the soul they follow the command of Hazrat Izrael (pbuh) and Hazrat Izrael (pbuh) follow the command of Almighty Allah.
So don't think that Hazrat Izrael (PBUH) is alone and if he is in one corner of the earth, how will he do in the other corner? At the same time, these words are for those of us who are limited in this material world.

Which book is the best biography book to read about our holy imams for the English speakers.

There are many books you can find regarding the life history of Aimmah (a.s) or biography of 12 Imams (a.s).
One of them which covers both biographies and their Socio- political life is “ The Lives of the Twelve: A Look at the Social Political Lives of the Twelve Infallible Imams”
Written by: Shaykh Mahdi Pishvai
Translated by: Sayyid Ali Musawi.

The whole Quran was sent down during the blessed month of Ramadhan. When exactly did this happen during the Prophethood? Is it beginning or middle or End? There are ayats send down to our Prophet pbuh &hf after some events take place

Holy Quran has two revelations:
1- Daf’aee ( Sudden)
2- Tadreeji ( step by step or time to time)
So one the Night of Qadr most probably the 23rd night of the holy month of Ramadan)the whole Quran was reveled on the heart of Holy Prophet ( saww) and the 2nd revelation took place in 23 years of time span ( 13 Years in Mecca and 10 years in Medina) after the declaration of Be’that of Prophet Muhammad (saww) while he was 40 years old.

So with the whole revelation sent on the night into the heart of Rasullullah, was it at the beginning of the prophethood or at what stage in the prophethood? Also, some ayats are sent down after an event took place, for eg, when Imam Ali a.s.gave his ring in state of ruku and the Lady Fatimah and the family gave their food away to the poor, orphan etc for during 3 days of fast. So the Quran that was sent into the heart of Rasulullah on probably 23rd of holy month of Ramadhan would have all these even before the events took place. Is this correct?

It’s our firm belief that all Divine Messengers and Prophets are chosen by all and they were Prophet when they born. But many of them got the responsibility of propagation after having a specific age while others were introduced as a Prophet while they were in cradle.( e.g. Prophet Yahiya a.s. And Prophet Isa (a.s) and Quran clearly tells this)

The Holy Prophet who is the first ever creation of Allah above all creation( living and non living ) so when we talk about the sudden revelation of Quran means he had the Quran with him (when Allah created Adam (a.s), he taught him Names (Asma) which means the mysteries of the Universe).

Also whenever we talk about revelation of Divine command, it doesn’t mean something leave it’s place from higher position and come down. No it’s not like that as rain comes from up to down. Revelation means to make in thing comparable to others so they can have access to it. Incase of Holy Quran the reality of Quran is what no one can even imagine but when Allah sent it through archangel Jibrael to the Holy Prophet and he delivered those letters in form words so we Human can understand otherwise no one can say the Quran at Lauhe Mahfooz is in which form.
Also the revelation of Divine command is continue otherwise what does it mean by this Ayah which has use Present Tense for revelation of Wahi because Allah is eternal and His command is also eternal

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

The angels and Jibreel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair,(97:4)
But there must be a pure Heart which can have this ability to receive the divine revelation. Therefore our Imam Sadiq (a.s) says this Ayah is the best proof of Imam Zamana’s presence as Proof of Allah on the Earth because Earth can’t survive without a proof of Allah.
Secondly yes it’s true every Ayah has its Shane Nuzool ( reason of revelation) but because Quran is the book of Guidance therefore it must be according to the need and culture and faith and need of that period.
If I ask you what does it mean by “ Perish the hands of Abu Lahab and perish him”
While abu Lahab died 1400 years ago but here it shows a symbolic meaning that any one who has the nature or Abu Lahab this Ayah is for him right now today so you can say Quranic revelation is 24x7 continue and will be continue till Qiyamat.
When we read Quran as if Allah is talking with us that’s why there are so many Adaab ( manners) of the recitation of Quran.

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا

Or add to it, and recite the Quran as it ought to be recited.(73:4)


وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you.(7:204)

As you said if Quran has revealed before at once then at the time of each incident it means Allah know what is going to happen
Of course Allah know also these Zaman and Makan ( time and place) are for us otherwise if go deep in there is no Past and Future near Allah everything is present for Him.

Mera yeh sawal hai keh main Tahajjud main Allah se jo bhi cheez mangoonga kiya mujhe woh cheez foran mil jayegi?

Scholars ne kisi bhi Dua ki qabooliyat ke liye kuch conditions batayee hain. For example mangne wali ka khuloos e dil se mangna. Kis waqt aur kahan dua mang raha hai. Kisi ke huqooq ko to nahin mara hai waghairah magar sabse ahem eh baat hai ke Allah (swt) hamara khaliq hai aur Ghaib ka ilm usi ko hai lehaza woh behtar janta hai kiya Hamare haqq main achcha hai aur kiya Achcha nahin hai isi liye Quran main Allah farmata hai:

وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
‏And it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.(2:216)

Lehaza eh kahna ke jo bhi ham mangenge woh FAURAN mil jayegi aql aur mantiq ke khilaf hai. Jaise jab aapka bachcha zid karta hai ke mujhe chocolate khana hai aur Doctor ne mana kiya hai ke uske teeth kharab ho sakte hain to aap ham uske mangne ke bawajood nahin dete magar bachcha zidd karta hai kionke woh uske result se waqif nahin.
Lehaza hamesha apni Dua main Insan ko yahi kahna chahiye ke “Mere Allah agar eh kam ya eh cheez mere Duniya aur Akherat ke liye munasib hai to mujhe Ata kar de...”
Rahi baat Namaz e Tahajjud ki to Allah (swt) ka Quran mai farman hai ke agar Insan Namaz e Shab ( Tahajjud) parhta hai to Mumkin hai use “ Maqam e Mahmood” ( position of great glory ataa ho). Main nahin samajhta Isse barhi Sa’adat aur kuch Insan ke liye is Duniya main ho sakti hai jabke Allah usse itna barha Wada kar raha hai. Isliye Tahajjud ki Namaz is Niyyat se na parhi jaye ke meri falan Hajat poori ho jaye fir to eh ek tarah ki Tijarat huee aur Allah ki Ebadat ko uski Azamat aur Kibriyayee ko Nazar main rakh kar karna chahiye na ke is liye ke Hamara koi kaam hall ho jaye.

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَىٰ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا
And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory.

Can I pray namaz while closing my eyes, and that is because of concentration in my namaz and nothing else?

Yes you can but as traditions says we should not close our eyes but even it would not invalidate your Namaz. Also for concentration in Namaz opening ones eyes doesn’t play any role you wann do it first try to find the meaning of Salat and logic and philosophy behind each and every action of Namaz. Try to concentrate slowly inshallah by the time you will get habit of it.

1. Roze ki philosophy kya hy
2. Konse sureh ki tilawat karne se rozi mai izafa hota hy
3. Musf -E-Fatima kya hy
4. Janabe Fatema Zahra Hazrat Rasul e Khuda k pass se virse mai kya hasil kiya?

1- Taqwa aur Parhezkari hasil karna (Taqwa Wajibat deeni per amal karna aur Haram kamo ko anjam na dena)
Roza ki halat main Insan is cheez ko banisbat achchi tarah se anjam se sakta hai. Roza Insan ke iradon ko mazboot karta hai. Aur Insan jis cheez per ek mahina control kar sakta hai chahe to aage bhi continue kar sakta hai.
Quran main Sura Baqra Ayat 183 main Roza ki illat batayee gayee hai.

‎يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil).(2:183)

2- Agar koi Rozi main barkat chahta hai to apne waledain ki khidmat kare. Agar zinda nahin hain to unke liye maghferat ki dua kare, adaqat aur khairiat unki taraf se kare, unke qarz ko ada kare (agar chorh gaye hain), wajib namaz ya roza rah gaya hai uski adaigi kare chahe Khud ya kisi ki ujrat dekar.

Be shak Quran ka koi bhi Sura parhen uska ajr o Swab hai magar Isliye koi bhi Sura parhen magar sabse ziyada jo ahem hai woh insan ka Amal hai Quran main irshad hota hai. Be shak Insan ke liye koshish aur Talash ke siwa koi aur zimmedari nahin hai. Rizq aur har kam ka natija Allah ke hath main hai magar har kam ke liye sabse pahle Insan ko hi Irada karna hai fir us per amal karna hai fir Allah ki zaat per bharosa. Yahi Raz hai kamyab zindagi ka.

3- Mushaf se Fatima (sa) woh kitab hai jo janabe Sayedda (s.a) ne Rasool Akram (saww) ki Rehlat aur apni Shahadat ke arse main murattab ki hai.
Kisi ne Imam Jafar as Sadiq (a.s) se sawal kiya Mushaf e Fatima (a.s) kiya hai. Aapne Farmaya ke Allah ne Hazrat Zahra ke ghamo ke mudawa ke liye Farishte ko Muqarrar kiya tha jo Janabe Sayeda (as) se guftugu karta tha aur Jab Maulaye Kainat ne eh Suna to aapne kaha Ab se aap batayen Jan bhi Farishta aayega uski aur aapki guftugu main main likh loonga. Aur Mushaf e Fatima wahi kitab hai.
Mushaf e Fatiam (a.s) Quran nahin hai .
قال امام الصادق (ع) : ان الله تعالی لما قبض نبیه(ص) دخل علی فاطمة(س) من وفاته من الحزن مالا یعلمه الا اللّه - عز و جل ـ فارسل الیها ملکا یسلی غمها و یحدثها، فشکت ذلک الی امیر المؤمنین(ع). فقال(ع): إذا احسست بذلک و سمعت الصوت قولی لی. فاعلمته بذلک، فجعل امیرالمؤمنین(ع) یکتب کل ما سمع حتی اثبت من ذلک مصحفا.(الکافی، شیخ کلینی،ج 11، ص۲۴۰)

Rasool e Khuda me maal e Duniya main se sirf Fadak hi chora tha jisne Khilafat e waqt ne Ghasb kar liya.

Mera sawal ye h ki kya me Muharram me b apni makeup classes continue rakh skti hu kya? Mera meri classes me mjhe kafi bar mjhe apne face par hi makeup krna pdega kyoki me seekh rhi hongi. Kya Muharram me jaez h?

Aap eh kam is Niyyat se nahin kar rahi ke aap apne aap ko zeenat de rahi hai. Zahir hai aapki Niyyat eh hai ke aap seekh rahi hain lehaza eh ek hunar ki tarah hai aur Moharram main koi Hunar seekhna se related koi manahi nahin hai.
Ab baat eh hai ke eh profession thora sensitive hai is angle se ke agar ismain behijabi shamil hai ya namahram ke samne eh sab karna hai to fir isse parhez karna parega agar che iska moharram se koi relation nahin hai eh rule hamesha ke liye hai. Dosri baat choonke moharram aur safar hamare yahan gham ke months mane jate hain aur aisa hai bhi in months main Ahle Bait e Rasool ( saww) per bahot musibat dhayee gayee lehaza aap jab apne makeup ke class se bahar aayen to ab aapke chehre per makeup nahin hona chahiye isse samajh main ghalat message jayega. Magar seekhne ke liye jo aap makeup main karti hai usmain koi mushkil nahin hai. Magar 9 aur 10 moharram ko aisa karne se avoid karen balke anjam na den.

Which supplications/verses can I Read to strengthen my Iman Inshallah

Please read Holy Quran with its meaning as much as possible for you. Most importantly try to find out reason of your own creation.
There is one nice book of Shaheed Ayatullah Mutahari (ra) if you can find on internet please read it “ Man and Universe” and Insan e Kamil (Perfect Human Being)

My Dad is a Sunni and my mum is shia, I am a shia myself, however my dad on multiple occasions has said he wants me to follow his way, this has made things very awkward at home, I pray 5 times a day but without my dads knowledge, are my prayers accepted?

Quran has said many places that we should obey and respect our parents even if they are Kafir or Mushrik or even Munafiq.
But in case of Wajibat we are not supposed to follow them. So don’t worry you have select right path

I have recently started reading the Quran daily, however I lose focus a lot and get distracted, what can I do to focus and concentrate more

Try to ready very few ayah then check with its meanings and also exegesis specially “exegesis of Allamah Tabatabai (r.a) caled “Al-Mizan” it has translated in english and one of the best exegesis ever in these last 100 years.

My question is regarding the role of children towards their parents particularly in old age.
1) Firstly is there a difference in the duties towards parents for a son and a daughter? Meaning do sons and daughters have different duties towards their parents.

In South Asian culture a daughter once she marries is expected to only look after her husband's parents while no duty is expected towards her own parents.
Whereas for a son since he has to go out and earn and hence is not at home it therefore becomes his wife's duty to take care of his parents as he is financially providing for her . Is this the islamic way of life?

All of us according to Islam have two types of duties one is obligatory and other is related to our ethics.
Parents have obligation towards their children same way for both son and daughter to care of them and protect them and provide them good education and sustainability.
According to verse 23 from chapter Isra:

وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا

And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.(17:23)

It has not mentioned and restricted for male child or female rather the verse says same duties for both male and female children to take care or their parents specially when they reached to their old age. Now it’s up to children how do they take care of their parents because taking care doesn’t meant only when they live together because ayah doesn’t mention that they have to live together or far away.

But it’s clear that it’s wajib on children without any restriction of their gender to take care of their parents. Now since our culture mostly girls leave their parental home after their marriage and most of them have no source of income so it’s practically seems hard for them to take care of their parents. But the other side mostly sons are with their parents or at their parental home it looks easy for sin to take care of his parents.
But as for as obligation of taking care of their parents concern is no doubt clear for Son.

Not if we talk about a woman and her duties towards her family when according to Islam she is not bounded to work at home rather it’s her ethical obligation to do house work while it’s husband who has duties to provide a helper for her if she is not capable but for other things like obeying her husband and fulfill his sexual needs it’s wajib on a woman to do so.
But it’s not obligatory for a woman that she has to take care of their parents ( in laws) rather her husband has to take care of his parents by any means. In short mostly it depends on our ethical obligations and for a good and healthy home environment that we have to take care of each other and do not interrupt each other unnecessarily. Also it’s better for our next generation to have a good guidance of father and grandfather moral support.

Hamare pass quran ki authenticity ke liye bohot dalil hai jese.
>Quran Linguistic
>Quran Prediction
>Quran Scientific Knowledge….

But in ayat Allah says agr tumhe shak hai to koi aesa ek surah hi le aav.

To agr koi ek aesa sura le jisme na prediction ho na scientific kuch aesa ho vo khud non arab ho(means ke usko arabic se koi lena na ho)cto fir vo sura uske liye kese mojiza hoga ya kahe vo sura uske liye kese challenge hoga?

Aur quran ki har ayat Nishani haicmeans ke Allah ki nishahi hai to har ayat me aesa kya hai jo mojiza hai?

Har ayat me kuch to aesa hona chahiye ke vo insan ke bus ke bahar ka ho yani mojiza ho.

To aesa har me kya hai quran ki ke hum Usko Nishani(ayat ) kehte hai?

Qur’an karim na to scientific book hai aur na predictions ki kitab hai. Quran Karim ek hidayat ki kitab hai. Ab agar kahin per Hidayat kisi personality ki past story main hai to Qur’an main unki story ko bayan kiya hai magar aap ne dekha hoga ke kisi Qur’anic story main aisa nahin hai ke baat ko barha charha kar bayan kiya gaya ho balke to the point baat ki gayee hai aur utni hi story ka zikr hai jisse hamein lesson milta hai jabke kisi Insan ki kitab main jab koi incident ya event ki baat ki ja rahi hoti hai to pahle ek muqaddama pesh kiya jata hai ya story ki tamam juziyaat bhi bayan ki jati hain magar Quran main aisa kuch nahin hai.
Chahe woh Prophet Noah (s.s) ki baat ya Prophet Adam(a.s) ki baat ho ya Prophet Musa (a.s) ya Isa (a.s) ki baat ho.
Isi tarah hidayat ke liye agar kahin scientific facts ko batana hua hai to wahan scientifically baat ki gayee hai magar code word main for example Qur’an ki is Ayat main ek baat aisi hai jise aaj ki science approve karti hai:


إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِمْ نَارًا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا

(As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.(4:56)

‎( كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ
so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement;)

Kion kaha gaya jab Jahannam main skin chal jayegi to Allah fir se dobara new skin develop kar dega. Aaj ki Modern science se eh sabit hai ke human body main agar sense hai to skin main hai balke uske niche jo fat ki layer hai usmain bhi sense nahin hota isi tarah bones main hair main aur even brain sells main bhi sense nahin hota. Isi liye jab insan headache feel karta hai to aisa nahin hai ke uske brain main dard ho raha hota hai.
Lehaza aisa nahin hai ke ke Quran ki har Ayat main agar koi scientific fact ho ya koi predict ho tabhi woh miracle hai. Balke baat eh hai ke Quran ne Arabic ke unhin 28 letters ka istemal kiya hai jise aaj bhi Arab apni bol chal main use karte hain magar in the mean time they are not capable to say one single arabic sentence like Quran has. Aur agar yaqin na ho to kisi bahot bare Arabic janne wale se kahiye ek line Quran ki tarah likh de jiska itna deep meaning ho ke agar ek Doctor parhe to woh bhi samaj jaye ek economist parhe to woh bhi samjhe aur agar ek mamooli insan parhe to uski bhi samajh main aaye.
Quran ke miracle ka matlab eh nahin hai ke uski ayat main koi magic hai. Nahin balke miracle eh hai ke its sentences looks very simple and easily readable and understandable but same time it has very deep meaning that while we are going towards high technology and our brain is becoming sharper and sharper but still Quranic verse are not seemed old or outdated. Rather intellectual understand it in very precise way.
Isliye ab eh kahna ke kisi Sura main mojeza hai ya nahin hai it’s not correct but each and every verse of Quran is unique in its meaning and structure and synthesis.

What make the Quran as the highest miracle compared to all other prophet miracles?

Like Hazrat Isa makes dead alive by the permission of God, Hazrat Musa split the see so what is that in the quran which is more than all this?

All the miracle given to the Prophets by Allah (swt) before the Holy Prophet (saww) was only influential at the time when that particular Prophet was alive for example today the staff of Prophet Musa (a.s) is not having any influence or role same way the power of curing and giving life to a dead person by Prophet Isa (a.s) but the Holy Quran is remained same as it was a challenging for Human at the time of Holy Prophet (saww) in Arabia and other nation. Even today no one can have power to challenge any single verse from the Quran and say that it is not correct etc. What few say about Quranic verses and it’s authenticity is because of their ignorance or hatred otherwise Islamic scholars have given answer to all of their objections nicely.
Also don’t think that what other Prophet had power and miracle Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww) didn’t have. No he has all of them too and history shows that he showed many of them but because the Religion of Islam is the final and Only Religion bear Allah and will remain till Doomsday it’s miracle is also will remain till the end of the day.

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ
Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam.....(Ale Imran/19)

I want some arguments on Quran authenticity but this argument, the arguments of eloquence of Quran, that works with the Arabs but today if I want to go outside and tell people who don't even know the arabic language and I tell them my Quran is book of miracles because of the strong arabic language, are they going to accept this? No they are not going to accept this. They are not going to be convinced by this. This method of language only works with the Arabs and Islam is not the religion for arabs herefore I have to find another miracle in the quran that proofs that this book is from God.

Some evidence that prove that this work can't be done by human beings.

Let me ask you one question. Other than Arabic, which language do you recognize which is 1000 years old and remain same now and also widely spoken language now: is it Sankscrit ( how many people can speak and understand I think few thousands). What about “Latin” while it is the mother of all European languages Greek, Spanish, German, French and English but itself nobody know Latin language. What about Hebrew? It was to forgotten but after Israel in 1950 a person restarted it. But if you see the Arabic language, the Arabic which has been used in the Holy Quran is different from spoken Arabic in Arab nations but despite that most of the Arabs can understand Quranic Arabic and it doesn’t look hard for them but what about all Europeans, can they understand Latin or a Hindi, Gujrati and Bangla speaker can understand Sanskrit or even Chinese language has the same position.

Itself Holy Auras says: in chapter Yusuf:
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Surely We have revealed it-- an Arabic Quran-- that you may understand.(12:2)

Therefore whenever we talk and support why Holy Quran was revealed in Arabic we meant Quranic Arabic which has vast meaning compare to all languages spoken now on earth. If you go and learn Arabic then you will realize which type of language is this. Holy Quran remains like mathematical formula. It says many things in just few word and letters while used the same alphabets (28) which today’s Arab they use but Quran is neither Prose nor Poetry.

Regarding the authenticity of The Holy Quran and other Scriptures (Bible and Taurah )and evening if we accept Vedas ( even Hindus don’t know much about when and how it was collected) as a Divine Scripture so if you go to a book shop and ask him please give me a Bible he would ask you which Bible do you want?
Below are 12 of the common Protestant Bibles used today. Here is a list:

But if you travel to whole globe East and West, North and South you will find same quran with fractions differences why because When the revelations of the Qur’an began, the Most Noble Messenger clearly proclaimed the Qur’an to be the word of God, and said it was impossible for any human being to duplicate it. If anyone disagreed, he ought to make an attempt to copy it, and should feel free to seek help from any source in doing so. None was able to take up this challenge and produce even a short surah similar to the Qur’an.

The Qur'an remains a book of inimitable quality, not only from a linguistic, but also from and intellectual, point of view. When Muhammad (pbuh) was challenged by his fellow countrymen to present a miracle, in keeping with the tradition of other prophets, he presented the Qur'an to them. The inimitability of the Qur'an is repeatedly emphasized in the Holy Book itself.

The Qur’an issued a challenge not only to the contemporaries of the Prophet (pbuh) but also to men in all ages. In order to demonstrate the incapacity and impotence of people to imitate it, it issued the following universal proclamation:

“Were all mankind to come together and wish to produce the like of the Qur’an, they would never succeed, however much they aided each other”. (17:88)

It then modifies the challenge and reduces its scope by saying:
“Do people imagine that this Qur’an is not from Us, and that you, O Prophet are falsely attributing to us? Tell them that if they are speaking truly they should produce ten surahs resembling the Qur’an, and that they are free to call on the aid of anyone but God in so doing.” (11:13)

Then, at the third stage, the scope of the challenge is reduced still further: the deniers are called on to produce only a single surah resembling the Qur’an:
“Oh people, if you doubt the heavenly origin of this Book which We have sent down to Our servant, the Prophet, produce one surah like it.” (2:23)

A yet stronger challenge occurs in another chapter:
“Or do they say: 'He forged it'? Say: 'Bring then a sura like unto it and call [to your aid] anyone you can”. (10:38)

Since we know that some of the shorter surahs consist only of a few brief sentences, this final challenge constituted a definitive proof of the human being’s inability to imitate the Qur’an. Can the person of today take up the challenge of the Qur’an and produce a Surah like it, thereby conquering the stronghold of Islam and invalidating the claim of its Prophet?

Let us not forget that this challenge was issued to a people whose leaders were threatened by the devastating attacks of the Qur’an - their lives, their property, their ancient customs, their ancestors, their whole social position. If it had been at all possible for the Arabs to respond to the challenge of the Qur’an, they would have taken it up immediately, with the unstinting aid of the masters of eloquence that were by no means rare in that age. Thus they would have invalidated the proofs of the Qur’an and won an everlasting victory.

Qur’an has proposed a very simple challenge to those who oppose it. Why do then the deniers of prophethood choose roundabout ways, avoiding this direct method of confronting and defeating Islam? Is not because the door is firmly closed on meeting the challenge posed by the Qur’an?

It is not that they did not try to mute the challenge. Infact, they called into play all their resources in an effort to meet the challenge of the Qur’an, but all their efforts came to naught. They were unable to point even to a single error or defect in the Qur’an, and were obliged to admit that its words were situated on a higher plane than the thought and speech of the human being.

Is my fast valid if I drive 300km away from home in the morning and come back in the evening. My work is like this but I don't drive every day, its may be once in 10 days

One must not be a frequent traveller (kathīr al-safar). [The frequent traveller is of two kinds:] (1) someone whose profession is travelling – such as a driver and the captain of a ship, or a delivery person or shepherd – and (2) someone who travels frequently even though his work does not require him to do so – such as someone who travels three days in a week even if it is for recreational and touristic purposes – such a person must perform tamām prayers.

In your case as you said you travel 3-4 time in a month or after every 10 days so you are not amongst frequent traveler therefore,If you are traveling after ẓuhr, you must, based on obligatory precaution, complete your fast of that day; but if you are traveling before ẓuhr, then based on obligatory precaution you cannot fast on that day, particularly if you have made the intention to travel the night before. But make sure in that case when you are traveling before Zohr prayer you must not do anything that invalidates (makes batil) a fast before reaching the permitted limit (an outskirts of your city where you live called ḥadd al-tarakhkhuṣ), otherwise kaffārah becomes obligatory on you.

I am having difficulty keeping the food down as 2 years ago I have a stomach surgery which removed most of it. Usually on non fasting days during the year I eat several meals to keep myself healthy and in good strength. During this Ramadan I find it really difficult to get through the day (as this is the first ramadan after the surgery, I wanted to make an effort to complete the whole month this year) . Unfortunately I find myself vomiting back all of the iftar. The next day I am really really weak. I did fast so far as I tried to "endure" it. Yesterday though after the iftar and vomiting I was so weak that I could not get up from the couch and when I tried to stand up I felt like I was about to faint. My question to you is the following: Is it permitted to skip fasting when I feel this way and give fidyah?

According to the rule, if you can fast you keep your fasting and if you feel that you cant continue it, you may break your fast and no need to give any fidiya rather you have to do qadha later for that fast.
But if you are not in position to even begin your fast since fajr then do not keep fasting although if you know that InshAllah you will get back your health before next ramadan, you must do qadha for your lapsed fast. If you will not be able to fast qadha after Ramadan then you have to pay fidiya for your left fasts but not Kaffara.

I it wajib to sacrifice a goat even though we are not performing hajj?

No it’s Mustahab only but highly recommended Mustahab act if anyone has ability to perform it.

If a non-Muslim person is in the same room as me (i.e. they are in a state of janaabah) while I pray, are these prayers nullified?

No there is no issue and your prayers is valid and okay.

If a person completes his obligatory Salaat and reads some Du’aa afterward (Ta’qeebaat) but stands up from his prayer rug and wants to come back a few minutes later (maybe some important or time-sensitive issue occurs), then is it beneficial to resume Ta’qeebaat or, is the door of opportunity closed after completing Sajdah Shukr the first time?

If we see literal meaning of Taqibaat is has been derived from “Aqab” which means after of back therefore Taqibaat means what we recite “just after” finishing or completing our Namaz but if anyone due to something makes a gap between Namaz and Taqibat it’s okay. But what is better it has to be said just after the Namaz.

I read somewhere that it is favorable to pray upstairs compared to ground level or downstairs in the basement but I am not sure if this is true.

When I pray upstairs, is it acceptable to pray facing a window where one can see outside through that window?

The main reason I am asking is: if a car drives by in front of me, would I have to repeat my prayer? Or is it no problem because I am inside and they are outside the house?

The actual issue is that, that the place of Namaz should not be narrow or should not be as if anyone wants to stand can’t stand properly. So the place we pray should be like that where we can easily sit and stand therefore it has said that it is makrooh to offer namaz inside the store room or in banker like that place or in a room which is dark or inside the kitchen or at the main entrance (gate or door) or a place where people are moving easily in front of you or a place which is sandy or too much soft (like mattress) etc. And it has logic behind it because these things can distract us. But as you said praying Namaz in a room facing to window has no issue even if it’s open and cars are passing but if you see this can cause you to loose your concentration then better put on the curtain. But your Namaz is okay even if there is no curtain too.

I would like to know what the significance of the age of 40 years is in Islam? I have heard about the importance of this age in a person's life but could you direct me to any hadith and explanations that discuss this?

Man reaches intellectual maturity at the age of forty
And the same point can be seen in the issue of man's intellectual maturity after forty years of his life in the world; And referring to this issue in the Holy Quran, he says:
‫حَتىَّ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَ بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبّ‏ِ أَوْزِعْنىِ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتىِ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلىَ‏َّ وَ عَلىَ‏ وَالِدَىَّ وَ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَئهُ وَ أَصْلِحْ لىِ فىِ ذُرِّيَّتىِ  إِنىّ‏ِ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِنىّ‏ِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِين‏‬
(And when a person reaches the stage of complete growth and prosperity and forty years have passed on him, he says: O God, inspire me through your thanks and gratitude for your blessings on me and my parents! And teach me the way of doing righteous deeds that are pleasing and admirable to you! And establish goodness and righteousness among my descendants! It is true that I turned to you and asked for your surrender and your will.)

This verse, he considers the maturity of human beings as the level of intellectual growth and consistency of the soul in managing and observing materials and corruptions at the age of forty. And after this, man uses the experiences and reserves of the past to complete the soul and through happiness and goodness, not to add to his intellectual breadth and capacity.
Therefore, in "Khasal", Saduq narrates from Imam Sadegh (as) that he said:
إنّ العَبدَ لَفي فُسْحَةٍ مِن أمرِه ما بَينَهُ و بينَ أربعينَ سَنةً؛ فإذا بَلَغ أربعينَ سَنةً أوحَي اللهُ عزَّوجلَّ إلَي مَلَئكَتِه: إنّي قد عَمَّرتُ عَبدي عُمرًا فَغَلِّظا و شَدِّدا و تَحَفَّظا و اكتُبا عَليهِ قَليلَ عَمَلِه و كَثيرَهُ و صَغيرَهُ و كَبيرَه!

The servant is forgiven by God until he is forty years old; And when he reached this age, God Almighty sent a revelation to the two rival kingdoms and Atid, who are entrusted with his deeds and actions: I gave my servants enough life to acquire knowledge and intellectual maturity, from now on he "His deeds are not free, be strict with him and record everything that comes to him more or less accurately!"
And a similar narration has been mentioned in "Khasal" by Imam Sadegh (as):
إذا بَلَغ العبدُ ثَلاثًا و ثَلَثينَ سَنةً فَقد بَلَغ أشُدَّهُ؛ و إذا بَلَغَ أربعينَ سَنةً فَقد بَلَغَ مُنتهاهُ

When Abd reaches the age of thirty-three, he attains the rank of physical and mental stability; "And when he reaches the age of forty, his intellect reaches the utmost degree of power and breadth and perception."
Therefore, if a person does not develop the talent of goodness and guidance until the age of forty, it will be difficult for him to reach the stage of happiness and victory; If this hadith is included in Shiite books and in "Revival of Sciences":
إذا بَلَغ الرَّجُلُ أربعينَ سَنةً و لَم يَتُبْ مَسحَ الشَّيطانُ وَجهَهُ بِيَدهِ و قالَ: بِأبي وَجهُ مَن لا يُفْلِح

a person reaches the age of forty and does not return to God, the devil will anoint his forehead and say:" My father,'s sacrifice for you, you will not be saved anymore! "

Me taqleed krti hu ayatullah sistani ki, wo nai krte. Meri family taqleed k mamle me bht strict he wo chahte he ke mere hone wale husband b taqleed kre. yha esi situation me esa hoskta he ke wo ladka jhoot bol de k haa me taqleed krta hu? Wo actually khud taqleed nai krna chah rhe.

Agar che Taqlid ek ahem mas’ala hai aur Shariat ke laws ko follows karne main ahem issue hai magar aisa to nahin hai ke agar koi taqlid nahin karta to uske Shia hone main koi problem hai.
Magar itna zaroor hai ke agar Faith main similarities nahin hongi to aapke liye future main diqqat hogi.

Akhbariat ek bahot barha issue hai shiaism main. Magar jaisa ke aapne likha hai ke woh jhoot bol den ke taqlid karte hain to sawal eh hai ke ek Insan jhoot bolne ke taiyyar hai jo ke haram hai aur is baat ke liye taiyyar nahin hai ke Din ke usool aur Qawanin ko kisi expert se maloom karna chahiye.Ajeeb baat hai!

Ayatullah Sistani’s Fatwa is as follows that, “ If a person performs his acts for some time without taqlid of a Mujtahid, and later follows a Mujtahid, his former action will be valid if that Mujtahid declares them to be valid, otherwise they will be treated as void.”
I’ve a question as we know that the life and system today’s we follows is same as at the time of Imam a Masoom (a.s). If anyone says it’s same then let me ask three issue with is very common now a days:
What should we do being a true Muslim.
1- At the time of Imam e Masoom medical science had not discovered the issue of artificial insemination or IVF or IUI not today if any couple do not have child and their life is facing lots of problem due to not having child in such situations what they have to do? Do they do IVF or not ? If not then why ? If yes then on what ground in Islamic shariya? Because niether so we have any verse in the Holy Quran regarding this issue nor we have any direct Hadith from a Imam e Masoom.(a.s).
2- A person is a chain smoker and shariat says inhaling any dust or smoke which passes through our throat can invalidate our fast but same time there is a electronic cigarette which has neither smoke nor dust particle so does a person allowed to smoke electronic cigarettes while fasting?
3- Gelatin commonly used substance in hundreds of our daily food products. Also we know gelatin is abstracted from either halal animal or Haram. In this case what should we do? Who can tell gelatins is allowed or not ? Who can tell there is transformation taken place or not?
All these issue if they can find in any Hadith directly or if anyone can capable to show them in any Hadith then there are still many issue that is this Hadith is correct or not? Source of Hadith is true or not? Hadith has been said while Imam E Masoom was in Taqqaiya or normally he said it?
Religion is not a play or sport so anyone can deal with it.

Imam Ali a.s ka aur dusre Imam o ka darajja same he?

Is all Imam same in rank ?

If we see Prophet according to Quran, all prophet are not same because their responsibility was different. Some of them were a prophet for their own tribe and people while some had broader aims and propagation but few are owners of divine laws (Sahibe Shariat) and we call them 5 great Prophets.
But if you see Imamate, all Aimmah have same responsibility because all Aimmah are the successors of the Prophet (saww) at the same level. Therefore for us as followers, all Aimmah are equal but when we see our Aimmah’s views regarding each other, all of them give special respect and rank to Amiralmomenin Ali (a.s). For example our 6th Imam he says don’t call us Amiralmomenin because this title should be specified for Ali ( a.s) but it doesn’t mean other than Imam Ali(a.s) other Aimmah (a.s) are not Amir Al Momenin. So we can’t easily differentiate Aimmah because we are not in that position and according to the views of Aimmah we have to have faith in them.

I found this dua in duas.org but I am wondering about the instruction to write on a piece of sugar this verse.
Proven Supplication for increasing memory ( Tohfatul Hashmiya)

Write on seven pieces of sugar and eat a piece everyday. Write on the first one:

فَتَعٰلَی اللهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ.

Fataa’a’lallaahul malikul haqq

Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth,[1]
I dont understand what is meant by sugar, is it the small sugar cube or any type of sugar.

Yes sugar cubes means any ordinary sugar cubes found in the market.

Kiya light off kr ke andhere me namaz pad sakte he? Matlb ye he k andhere me sukoon se namaz padhna sahi h?

Ji parh sakti hain magar eh makrooh hai. Beshak Namaz main Khuloos aur presence of mind Ahem rukn hai aur Namaz ki Rooh hai magar aisa bhi nahin hai ke aisa karne ke liye andhera hi zaroori hai. Eh aur Wajah hai ke kam AZ kam ghar main waledain jab namaz parhen to unke bachche jab dekhenge to unmain bhi Raghbat paida hogi aur silent message diya ja sakta hai ya digar ghar ke afrad jo bhai bahen agar khuda na khasta namaz nahin parhte ya agar parhte hain to waqt per nahin parhte lehaza namaz ko na to bahot crowd main parhne ka hukm hai aur na hi aisa kaha gaya hai ke Insan room band karke andhere main parhe.

If sperm is discharge unintentionally and then breaking the roza thinking that the discharge of sperm has invalidate the roza. In this case kafara is wajib or not?

You have to do qadha of that day's fast after Ramadan al Mubarak.

Smelling and tasting invalidates fasting or not?

Smelling can’t invalidate fast also if anything which has been tasted but not swallowed then fast is ok.

If husband and wife and wife reading Namaz in same room then do they need to maintain any minimum distance while reading namaz?

If they are standing parallel to each other then yes they have to maintain gap but if wife stands behind her husband then minimum one step she should stands behind her husband. But man is not allowed to stand behind a woman even if she is his mahram.

There’s a matter that I really need some help and advice for.

I have met a religious sister, I don’t seem to like her looks even though I have tried to force myself, because of the great person she is, I still keep wishing she looked different.
What can I do in this case?

You know by nature Human being is the only creation of Allah (swt) never get satisfied in this world but In ilum Irfan (Mysticism) it has said this very nature of us is because actually we are not from here. We (our soul) is from other world and the body is from here only therefore we are always in finding something better and best and actually that thing is God but as we are so much used to with material world we are looking God in matter.

Why I told you this because:
Because any woman who is the most beautiful person in this world, if you choose her as you wife, after few time she will become very very common woman as if she is one of the thousands woman in your area while for others she will be same. Why? I can’t say God forbid you would be tired of her, no Nauzobillah but because she is now in your possession and here by very human nature when overpower something or acquire something, it automatically feels valueless.
But no one can deny this fact also that because you are going to live her so ofcourse she must be attractive and good looking as you have imagined about your future life partner. So you have right to select her or di select her. Even Islamic Shariya has given you this authority.

But again for example if have selected a beautiful woman in comparison to her and if your ideas and would not matched with her then really you will miss her. Because we are not 24x7 in the mood of romance rather most of the time what we always need is one's character and behavior especially those who is going live with us under one roof.


And then rest is in the Authority of Allah (swt) he creates love and affection in the hearts of a spouse according to the Holy Quran:


وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.(30:21)

So think freely and then Tawakkal on Allah.

I have some questions about sexual activity during Ramadan.

If I sleep with my wife after Iftaar, is there a certain timeframe which I have to do Ghusl within?

And: if I have a sexual dream, do I have to do Ghusl before Dhuhr-prayer? If yes, what do I do if I wake up after the Dhuhr prayer has entered, and then realize I’ve had a wet dream?

Always before starting that day fast a person must be in the state of Taharat now doesn’t matter how he became Najis either by intercourse or by wet dream or something else he has to do Ghusl before Azan of Fajr otherwise if didn’t do Ghusl he had to do qadha oh that day fast and has to give Kaffara aslo.
But during the day time while observing the fast of anyone becomes (Mujnib) Najis by wet dream then even if he would do Ghusl few hours later despite being in state of Janabah is Makruh he is allowed to do so.

Can the khums or Zakat be disbursed on monthly basis after taking these out?

You can’t hold the Khums money if you know any Mustahaq personally if have to give it to him/her otherwise you have to give it to representative of Marja or those authorities who have permission to take Khums money.

Ruling 1862. If there is no one entitled to receive khums in a person’s town, he can take it to another town. In fact, he can take it to another town even if there is someone entitled to receive it in his town provided that this act is not considered to be nonchalance in paying khums. In either case, if the khums perishes, he is responsible (ḍāmin) for it even if he was not negligent in looking after it. Furthermore, he cannot deduct the costs for taking it [to the other town] from the khums.

Ruling 1863. If a person takes possession of his khums by way of agency (wikālah) of a fully qualified jurist or his representative, he [is deemed to have paid his khums and] is absolved of his responsibility. Furthermore, if he transfers it to another town in compliance with the direction of a fully qualified jurist or his representative, and in the process it perishes without him being negligent, he is not responsible for it.

Can some part of khums or zakat be given in advance by anticipating its amount?

Khums and Zakat Both are obligatory. But conditions for Zakat is totally different from Khums.
So let’s talk about Khums only.
Khums is on the surplus to annual expenses. If your income exceeds the annual expenses of yourself and your family, Khums (20%) should be paid from the excess. Therefore you cannot pay Khums in advance on that amount which has not in your hands and you are not sure whether it will remain or not.

As for Zakat, it is payable on cattle, crops and silver, raisins and dates in accordance to the Islamic rulings.

I understand there are some music which is halal, and some which are haram.
I have heard, the genre I am about to ask you about is halal, but I'd like to verify if you don't mind. Would these be considered halal? This genre is usually referred to as "epic orchestral", mainly used to "make one courageous". You'll find it for training and war like movies. Here are some links if you don't mind.

Anything which has been used or spread with the name of Islam or religion will not become valid.
If we recites even Quranic verses white Ghena (twisting the voice) and with Music like some Sufi’s traditions will not become authentic.
Only music is allowed which has been used a background music and should not for amusement and if the same thing someone uses for party or amusement will become haram.

1) As per the ruling, while doing ghusl in shower i need to compulsorily move in a way that it can be said that i am washing my body in sequence and not just stand still in the shower right?

2) If i dont use much hands to wipe my body but instead i hold the hand shower in hand and move it to places i am washing, then ghusl is valid?

3) If during washing the body with hand shower, i put water in the palm from hand shower and put it to areas for washing, then anything wrong in that for ghusl?

1-Yes as for precaution a person should close the Tab or shower after completing one part of the body during Ghusl or if he/she is under shower come out and then wash another part of his/her body.
2-During Ghusl water should reach to all body parts and for that purpose sometimes we use our hands to make sure all parts are washed well otherwise if water can reach without doing that it would be sufficient even if we don’t rub our hands.
3- Yes you can do that.

If while washing head or any other part, if i wash hands also in between, then ghusl is valid?

If it’s not disturbing the sequence of washing the parts of body then it’s ok your Ghusl is valid. For example while you are washing your head and same time you washed your tip of fingers then it’s ok.

After urinating I wash with water with water bottle and then if i touch the water that has fallen on ground from the first wash, of if later that waster splashed on me, then it will make me najis?

Water is Pak unless you have 100% knowledge that the water has splashed was the same water which was mixed with urine.

1) I did wajib ghusl but I have doubt whether I washed my right feet or not. Is my ghusl valid?

2) If i have two ghusl niyyat in mind and one I'm in doubt and other ghusl I am sure about performance then it will be valid if i make such niyyat?
eg- one niyat i have for for jumma ghusl on Friday, which i am sure that it can be performed, and other ghusl is janabat, about which i am not sure whether its wajib in me or not, but as a precaution im make a niyat and do ghusl with both intention, then ghusl will be valid?

1) Yes your Ghusl is valid. If doubt arises in the mind after ghusl as to whether ghusl was correct or not, then there is no need to do Ghusl again.

2) Yes you can have many ghusls Niyyat at a time but no need to do different Ghusl for each one rather you can do many Ghusls with one Niyyat. If you have doubt (and have no sign of Janabat) whether it’s wajib on you to perform Ghusl Janabat or not then there is no need to do Ghusl.

I was searching on the internet for Quranic ayat numbers for which sajda is wajib, but the website gave the whole verses in English and I randomly recited few words before I realised that it was the ayats translated into English, is sajdah wajib upon me to do now?

There is no Sajdah if anyone recites Translation. Also if you have randomly started reciting Ayah which has wajib sajdah and then you realized that its wajib sajda ayah now you have to do sajdah and if you have not do qadha later.

While fasting if I tell someone a hadis of any of the 14 infallible or Allah, or put a hadis on my social media, without knowing actual reference, but if i feel like hadis is right, then fast is void?

Yes if you know the where this Hadith has been mentioned or the source you are getting any specific Hadith is correct then it’s ok otherwise better to avoid if you have least doubt regarding its authenticity. Things that invalidate a fast based on obligatory precaution, ascribing false things to Allah, Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣ), and the successors of Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣ) [i.e. the Twelve Imams (ʿA)]

While chatting with my fiance sometimes it turns sexual and later I realise that some transparent liquid has come out.
Does ghusl janabat become wajib? (Humara Sega e Mu'ta hua hai)

Jab mard apni wife ke sath foreplay karta hai ya due to any other reason agar exited hota hai aur aisi soorat main to liquid nikalta hai agar woh transparent hai aur usmain uemen ki smell nahin aati hai to woh semen nahin hai aur uske nikalne se ghusl ki zaroorat nahin hai na hi wudhu ke zaroorat hai.

I did ghusl e janabat this evening but now I found some dry white stuff in the hair around my private parts. Before doing ghusl, I don't know if it was there on not. Is my ghusl valid?

If some fluid is discharged by a man who is not sick and that fluid has one of the three characteristics mentioned in the previous ruling, but the man does not know whether or not it had any of the other characteristics, [he will not be junub and] in the event that he had wuḍūʾ before the discharge of the fluid, that wuḍūʾ remains valid. And if he did not have wuḍūʾ, he only needs to perform wuḍūʾ [when required], and performing ghusl is not obligatory on him.

Ruling 347. It is recommended that one urinates after ejaculation; if he does not urinate, and after performing ghusl some fluid comes out about which he does not know whether it is semen or some other fluid, it is ruled as being semen.

In the stance that someone is gay (boy/boy) or (girl/girl)
1. Is it haram for them to have physical contact with someone they are attracted to? like if a guy hugs a guy he’s attracted to (in a friend way) but the one that’s attracted thinks more than that. Does it make it haram on the guy that’s attracted
2. Is it haram for them to do things friends would do even tho in this case both in this case are attracted to each other such as become roommates, have dinner, spend the day together etc

1. Touching or looking at anyone or anything in lustful manner is Haram.
2. From Islamic perspective, homosexuality is Haram and one of the greater sins, hence any advancement which leads towards it is rendered unlawful. Other than that the permissible acts such as eating, walking, talking etc. remain permissible for all.

‎وَاللَّذَانِ يَأْتِيَانِهَا مِنكُمْ فَآذُوهُمَا فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, give them both a punishment; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.(4:16)

‎وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds. And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime! (7:80)
Also you may refer below verses:
(26:165), (27:54) and (29:28)

Hadith:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet cursed effeminate men; those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses." The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover.

"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'There is nothing I fear for my ummah more than the deed of the people of Loot.'"

I wanted to know about hadiths and the sources of the merits and benefits of Ayat al Kursi

The benefits of Ayat Al-Kursi are:
1. Holy prophet (SAWW) said: whoever recites the first 4 ayats of Surae Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last 3 ayats of Surah e Baqarah, will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth or himself, Satan will not come near him and he will not forget the Qur’an.
2. Holy Prophet (SAWW) said: Qur’an is a great word, and Surae Baqarah is the leader of the Qur’an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Surae Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 50 blessings and good in it.
3. One who recites Ayatul Kursi every morning will be in the protection, safety of Allah until the night.
4. If one ties this to ones wealth or children, they will be safe from Satan
5. Our Holy Prophet (SAWW) has said: These things increase ones memory: sweets, meat of an animal near the neck, Adas (Lentils), cold bread and recitation of Ayatul Kursi.
6. For those of our dear ones who have passed away, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and giving it as Hadiya to them, gives them light (noor) in the grave.
7. Frequent recitation makes ones own death easy.
8. When leaving home, if one recites it once, the Almighty has one group of Angels to come and protect you. If recited twice, 2 groups of Angels are assigned to do this. If recited 3 times Allah tells the Angels not to worry as the Almighty himself takes care of him.
9. The Holy Prophet has said: If one recites Ayatul Kursi before going to sleep, Allah will send an Angel to come and look after you and protect
10. When one is alone in the house, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and asking Allah for help will make you remain calm and you will not fear.
11. The Holy Prophet has said: When leaving home,if one recites Ayatul Kursi, then Allah will send 70,000 Angels to do Istighfaar for him until he returns home, and upon his return Poverty will be removed from him.
12. If one recites this after performing Wudhoo, the 5th Imam Hadhrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS) has said: Allah will give him a reward of 40 years of Ibadaat, his position will be raised in the Heavens 40 times (levels) and will marry him to 40 Horains.
13. One who recites it after every prayer, their salaat will be accepted, they will remain in the safety of the Almighty and He will protect them.
14. Allah told Prophet Musa (AS): If one recites it after every salaat, the Almighty will make his heart a thankful one (Shakireen), will give him a reward of the prophets, and his deeds will be like those of the truthful (Siddiqeen).
15. To increase light or vision (noor) in the eyes, recite Surae Alhamd once, then Ayatul Kursi and then once the following dua:- “U-eedhu nora basaree binuril lahi alladhi la yutfaa”, “I seek refuge for the light of my eyes by the light of Allah(SWT), which does not become extinguished”.

Is it possible to buy a car on finance too, which would also include interest?

Yes if you need it you can

Wanted to ask if it is permissible to pay insurance monthly even though this includes interest

Yes you can do that.

Can husband and wife and father and daughter read namaz together at home?

Yes but make sure woman can’t stand in front of men nor parallel to men but if have much distance then they can stand parallel. Therefore if you are infront, your male children can stand either parallel to you or behind you and then behind them your daughters and wife.

Can I work in a supermarket if I process haram items such as alcohol, lottery tickets at the till during this time as supermarket need staff?

It is not permissible to do anything in connection with alcoholic beverages.

Could Nikah or Muta ever be not mustahab, or even makruh or haram like in the case of one not earning enough income? Or worse if one has history of brain/psych/or/spiritual diseases?

Also, is it lack of eeman that makes it seem like a hurdle or common sense to just have steady cash first? Also/then, and what would be the better first step if is indeed determined still mustahab even in straighened circumstances (i.e. seek earnings firstly, independent housing first, or just socialize to pursue marriage firstlly)

Yes although Nikah is one of the most recommended act in Islam and best Sunnah of Holy Prophet (saww) but same time if anyone has such aforementioned diseases or disorder then even if he/she has done Nikah after that his/her spouse has complete right to separate without divorce and Nikah will be nullified automatically.
But as for as having job or life necessities concern here Islam says : in chapter Noor Ayah 32


وَأَنكِحُوا الْأَيَامَىٰ مِنكُمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ إِن يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves; if they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.(An Noor:32)

Here we should give priority to save our modesty over our economic condition also in many affairs of our life, we have no role. Many times we plan nicely and try our level best but do not achieve the goal according to our plan. Therefore many affairs we should hand over to Allah and we should try only. As Quran says in Surah Najm

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for- (53:39)

We have hundred and thousand examples from pre Islamic era till now where at the time of marriage many men have nothing but relying on Allah they saved their modesty and spirituality then Allah blessed them lots example of Prophet Yūsuf (a.s) from slavery and prison at last he became the King of Egypt. Imam Ali (a.s) at the moment of his marriage had just one piece of Armor and he sold that but didn’t extend his marriage. So we should not worry about that but yes even if anyone has no such disease that can not going to affect his marital life he has right to get marry but ofcourse for mad or any mental disorder person it not good if they can’t run their life smoothly.

What is there makrooh about feeding wild/stray animals? is it a type of israf?

It’s not even Israf and Makrooh but one of the good and appreciated work to feed birds and animal and give them water.

Is there a way to tell whether an act is innovation (bida')? For instance, offering namaz wahshat for a non specified marhum even out of its time between Maghrib and isha.

As far as Mustahab namaz is concerned, there is no restriction for its timing and other related issues as it is said for wajib namaz. Therefore it’s not an innovation if anyone with the Niyyat of reja offers salatul wahshat for a Momin who has passed away.

22 Rajab ko kunda ku manaya jata h?

Brief introduction of 22nd Rajab according to Shia historians:
In the book of Masar al-Shia, Sheikh Mufid (r.a) has considered this day as the day of the destruction of one of the enemies of the Prophet (pbuh). Also the book of Iqbal al-A'amal also quotes where Sheikh Mufid (r.a) who has considered this day as the day of joy for the believers, It has been reported that on the 22nd day of the months of Rajab gratefully annihilated one of the pharaohs of the time and the enemies of the Holy family of the Prophet (pbuh), therefore it is recommended to fast (Mustahabb) as a Thank God for the destruction of the enemies of the Holy family of the Prophet (pbuh).
Reference: 1-Sheikh Mufid,Muhammad bin Muhammad, Masar al Shia, page 59,Sheikh Mufid conference, Qom.
2-Syed ibne Taoos, Iqbal al A’mal, page 667, Dar al Kutub al Islamia, Tehran 1367
While there is no direct and clear thing as the Nazr of Imam Sadeq (AS) on 22nd of the Rajab has been discussed in the authentic Shia hadith sources, but the best part about this Nazr or any community wide Nazr is the perfect opportunity to meet random Shia families and making new friends as a Silatur Rahm. Where you are meeting just to hang out, eat some snacks and sweets together and sit there on your friend's table meeting people, all in the name of Ahlulbayt (a.s).
Needless to say, we should forget about what other Shia communities say, either they are from majority Shia countries or different background so they can’t feel or understand the benefits of this Nazr. But we have to built a strong network among our Shia community as we are in minority.May Allah accept and give us opportunity to remember Ahlul Bait (a.s) in all our gatherings.

‎الامامُ الرِّضا علیه السلام : «رَحِمَ اللّهُ عَبْدا اَحْیا أمْرَنا،»[قال الرّاوی:] فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «فَکَیْفَ یُحْیِی أمْرَکُمْ؟» قالَ: «یَتَعَلَّمُ عُلُومَنا و یُعَلِّمُها النّاسَ، فَإِنَّ النّاسَ لَوْ عَلِمُوا مَحاسِنَ کَلامِنا لاَتَّبَعُونا.

Imam Ali Ar Redha(a.s) said: “May God have mercy on the servant, who keeps alive our commands.” And when he was asked :how do we keep alive your commands? then he said: “Teach our sciences to people and when they would learn our beautiful words and it’s merits they would not go away from us.

Jab koi shakhsh janabat ke halat me hota hai to kya woh Insan najis hai? Aur najis hai to kya wo sabhi chizo ko chu e bhina hone ki halat mai to najis hogi?

Ji bilkul Jannat ki halat nahin Insan Najis hota hai. Magar yeh najasat ek batini Najasat hai( ismain jism najis nahin hota agar Insan apni sharmgah se semen ko dhul le to fir uske badan per najasat nahin rahti). Lehaza Janabat ki halat main kuch choone se woh cheez najis nahin hoti. Magar Janabat ki halat main Quran ke alfaz ko Allah ke naam ko (kisi bhi zaban main hoon kion na likha ho) Anbiya aur Aimmah (a.s) ke naam ko touch karna haram hai. Baqi sab kuch touch kar sakta hai. Magar Janabat ki halat main ziyada der baqi rahna makrooh hai. Khana pina makrooh hai. Agar khana chahta hai to kam se kam agar is waqt Ghusl nahin kar sakta to wudhu kar ke khana pina chahiye.


We know there are two types of Impurities(Najasat), Physical and Spiritual.Those that are related to physical body we call them “Hadath al Asghar” and this which are related to our spirit is called “Hadath al Akber”. Now if a person has passed wind from rear or had urination or released himself, he has to clean only that area let’s say Urinary parts and anal region and for Namaz has to do Wudhu. Incase of passing wind even no need to wash that part just has to do Wudhu.
But Incase of Janabat, Hayz, Nefas, Istehaza, and touching the dead body he/she has do wajib Ghusl before Namaz or touching the letter of Quran or entering into the mosque etc but in this case his outer body is not NAJIS therefore if he/she sits or touches any object that would not become Najis as he/she has NO AYN e NAJIS ( original najasat).

Quran ko chalte chalte padh sakte hai?

Ji bilkul parh sakte hain agar raste main dekh kar parh rahe hain to apni safety ka khayal rakhen aur behtar hai ke aisi soorat main audio se sun len.

Humhe Namaz Imam e zamana ko hadiya karna hai toh uss ki niyat kya karni chayeh?

2 Rak’at Namaz Parhta hoon Hadiya e Imam Zaman (a.s) QURBATAN ILLALLAH.

Kya wehshat e qabr wali namaz roz padh sakte h ye niyat karke ki kahi na kahi kisi momin ki tadfeen to hui hogi.

Haan bilkul parh sakte hain.

My mom has been reading ziyarat Ashura from a book named Nemol Amal, written by Mohammad Hussain Naqar Pakri for years. In that book , it’s not written that you come to the part of cursing the enemies of the Ahlulbayt you should say it 100times nor does it says that one should go to prostration while reading this line.

My questions are:

1. Is it MUST to say certain things in Ziyarat Ashura 100times +go down in prostration?

2. My mother didn’t knew up till now, she is worried that all these years she had been reading it wrong. Is her Ziyarat Ashura which she read after every obligated prayer accepted?

Of course when any Ziyarat or Dua and even Tasbeeh of Bibi Fatima (s.a) has been introduced to be recited we should do same. But in case of Ziyarat e Ashara if you have not enough time you may recite at least one or ten time rather than 100 but not reciting at all means you have reduced the Ziyarat from your side while traditions says it has those parts too. Also we must recite “ Allahuma Lakal hamdo Hamdash Shakerin..... in Sajdah.
But as for as you’re mothers case inshallah she will get the sawab of this Ziyarat as she has recited because she didn’t know but from now she has to recite complete Ziyarat from the authentic Dua book.

I was reading about Mongolian people , or about Gengis Khan and his army. It’s stated that he killed many many innocent Muslim. So my question is :

1. Is it true that Imam Ali (a) told the Shias of their time, not to fight with these people (Gengis Khans army)

2. Is this saying of Imam Ali(a) written in a Hadith?

3. Is there a book i can read about this topic about Gengiz Khan and shias?

I didn’t see such hadith from Imam Ali (a.s) but it’s true that Sadaat had very closed relationship with Mongolian and when Abbasids were loosing their power in Islamic world and it was 11 century Changez Khan (Gengis Khan) got victory over many Citiesin Iran, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan( Marv) he gave honor to the Sadat and in Baghdad Khwaja Nasirudin Toosi he asked people not to fight with Mongolians and when Ghazi Khan became Muslim he ordered not to kill any Sadat and opened a new institution Dar as Sadat to protect them.
Therefore it has mentioned in History that Mongolians never fought with Sadat and gave high honor and respect. Also Sadat had very prominent posts and positions during their emperorship that is the reason many Sadat moved to Indians Subcontinent during the invasion of Mongolian in these area and today we have big number of Sadat living in India and Pakistan and Iran.

Was Prophet of islam wounded in Uhud battle? Or any other battles?

When the Muslims were defeated in the second round, no one remained with the Prophet except ‘Ali (a.s) and thirteen others of the companions of the Messenger. These thirteen were the first to come back to the Messenger after their flight. It is clear that ‘Ali's defense in that decisive hour was much more valuable than the defense of the thirteen companions put together.

The Messenger ... became the target of the pagan's attacks. Whenever a regiment aimed at the Prophet (saww) ‘Ali (a.s) charged the regiment and forced it to retreat.

Thus, we would not be erroneous if we say that ‘Ali (a.s) in this decisive battle had the exclusive honor of being the main defender of the Messenger and his Message, against the forces which no one other than ‘Ali (a.s) could face successfully. The Battle of Badr laid the foundation of the Islamic state, but the Battle of Uhud was about to destroy the foundation, had not a small number of heroes headed by ‘Ali (a.s) been present.

The pagans found that the Battle of Uhud ended in their favor. They defeated the army of the Prophet, and the Muslims lost seventy companions, among them the giant hero: Al-Hamzah, uncle of the Messenger and Lion of God. But the pagan victory was not decisive. Their target was Muhammad (saww) and Muhammad (saww) was still alive. He was the biggest danger to them Therefore, it was necessary for them to have another decisive battle in which they would realize the goal that they could not realize at the Battle of Uhud.

The Battle of Uhud took place during the third year after the Hijrah. Two years later, the third decisive battle in which the pagans gathered their biggest task force, took place.

Muslim in his “Sahih” (Authentic) reported that Sahl Ibn Saad said the following:

The face of the Messenger was cut, and one of his teeth was broken, and the protective dress of his head was broken. Fatima (s.a) daughter of the Messenger, was washing the blood and ‘Ali(a.s) was pouring water he brought by his shield from Al-Mihras. Beholding that the water increased the flow of blood, she burned a mat, put some of its ashes on the wound and the blood stopped.(Muslim, in his Sahih, vol 12 p 148)

What does Shia Islam say about Baha’i religion and Sufism?

Both are not accepted but if Sufism is not what normally a Sufi involves in e.g having wrong way of life with music and not practicing common practices of Islam then it would be a sect which has gone astray. Sufism with a separate ideology regarding the cognisant of Allah (swt) is not accepted unless they believe what Prophet (saww) has taught us. But unfortunately Sufism has mixed many more thoughts and ideologies which was not said by Prophet(saww) that is why we don’t accept Sufism but in parallel to Sufism what has been appreciated is Irfan (Mysticism). Baha’ism is a totally misguided sect. They are non Muslims they don’t follow any of the Obligatory acts of Islam eg Namaz, Saum and Hajj ect. and are considered Najis.

I have been experiencing phenomenal activity in my house.

Please help us! Do you think someone is doing magic? Please, tell us what we should read. We at our home play Ziyarat Ashora,-Nodba, Mashlol, Waritha, Hadise-kisa, And dua Kumayl on speaker each Thursday. And in our house we don’t listen to music and have halal income

One thing please tell me is it possible that Allah (swt) Who is Just and we witness His Justice, is it possible he create problem for Momenin by such a creation of Him whom we have no access or can’t see them. This is unfair that’s why believe there is nothing at all. These issue are related to a kind psychology or misunderstanding. Remove these things from your mind and trust in Allah ( swt) and just remember Allah never causes any problem for His believer.Yes there are kinds of problem in our life but they are test from Allah (swt) or due to our own mistakes and Gunah but this type of problem has no base.

So Islam does not believe in Phenomenal activity?

Islam does not deny the existence of Jinn rather there is a complete in the holy Quran “Sura Jinn” but it doesn’t mean Allah has created them without purpose and as it is very common amongst people that Jinn do this or that. It’s not true. Still if there is any such problem one has seen, we have many Duas and Zikr that should be recited not only when people get in trouble but even in there every day life schedule it has recommended that we should recite such Duas and verses of the Holy Quran to keep us safe. As if you see “Sura An Nas” it has said about the evil whisper of Shaitan and Jin but we have to understand what does it mean by evil whispers of Shaitan. It’s all about distraction of faith from them but not to make anyone scared.


مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ

From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Shaitan),

الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ

Who whispers into the hearts of men,

مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ

From among the jinn and the men.
So as long as jinn can whisper in someone’s breast even man can do the same.

I am having severe hairfall I tried everything from medication to nutrition but nothing worked yet. Is there any dua or way to stop hairfall provided by our aimmah (a.s.)?

Please recite with faith the below mentioned Ayah from the Holy Quran and write it and put it into olive oil and apply that oil in your scalp do Ghusl on Friday inshallah Allah will give you Shifa.

أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحْيِي هَٰذِهِ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ قَالَ بَل لَّبِثْتَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ فَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ وَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ آيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَانظُرْ إِلَى الْعِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوهَا لَحْمًا فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ قَالَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Or the like of him (Uzair) who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its death? So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him to life. He said: How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! you have tarried a hundred years; then look at your food and drink-- years have not passed over it; and look at your ass; and that We may make you a sign to men, and look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothed them with flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power over all things.(2:259)

I want to know that is it allowed for a bride and groom to meet and understand each other before getting married (without nikaah)

Yes they can talk face to face if they have intended to get married but as you said within the Islamic rulings. I mean they can’t flirt and they have to treat each other as a non mahram.

I need some serious help. My faith is declining

Seventh Imam, Imam Musa al Kadhim ( a.s) says:

مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ کِفَّتَیِ الْمِیزَان
Example of a believer is like a plates of a balance( scale)« کُلَّمَا زِیدَ فِی‏ إِیمَانِهِ‏ زِیدَ فِی بَلَائِه
Whenever he increases in his faith Test and exams becomes more for him.
Therefore we should ask Allah of oh Allah ! Test us as long as we can bear it!

Please this Ayat from Sura Baqra which we recite in our Qunoot also:


لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.(2:286)

Is namaz e wahshat a community namaz to be performed by everyone or is to be performed only by the wali of the mayyat.

None of the prayers which has been recommended (but are not wajib) have no such ruling. So Namaz Wahshat e Qabr also cannot be a community namaz but if anyone wants to offer is send Sawab to the Marhoom can offer but Ayatullah Sistani (May Allah protect him) says that in case of other that Marhooms relatives he/she should do “Niyyat of Reja e Matloob” (May Allah accept it) not Mustahab.

Agar kahin mojiza hua ho aur kisi shakhs ne mere whatsapp par photo ya video ke zariye usse bataya ho toh kya mai usse aage forward kar sakta hu?

Jab tak koi bhi cheez aapke liye khud qabile aitbar na ho aap nahin bhej sakte. Khud ko yaqeen hona chahiye tahqiq ke sath. Magar in sab ke bawajood bhi hamari aapki aisi koi sharyee zimmedari nahin hai ke ke har cheez ko share hi kiya jaye.

Shaadi mai dulhan ko kisi non muslim se mehndi lagwa sakte hai ?

Ji bilkul lagwa sakte hain magar make sure ke dulhan ke uper bhi 5 waqt ki namaz wajib hai lehaza namaz ke waqt use is baat ka khayal rakhna hai ke agar mehndi non Muslim ne apne khule hathon se touch kiya hai to use namaz se pahle wash karna zaroori hai.

I want to finish quran this ramzan. I've finished quran once before. So is it necessary to read quran in arabic only? Or can I just read translation in my native language?

We can read Quran in any language there is no such restriction from Shariat but the important thing is here that we have to ponder in Quran and inshallah try to implement its teachings in our day to day life.

When making a mistake in a wajib prayer, and having to repeat it (action may have invalidated prayer), does my niyyah have to be wajib qurbatan. Or just “Qurbatan IlAllah”? (For the repeated prayer)

In all cases there is no need to repeat the namaz rather you can correct it. But if anyone wants to repeat his/her namaz once again then Niyyat will be wajib Qurbatan ilallah .
Also please check this link for the detailed rules regarding repeating or correction once salat.

What is the ruling on if your body parts such as hands legs or fingers touches the side areas such as walls or glass door during ghusl? Is ghusl still valid or we need to purify those walls with water too? As those places are already wet because water reaching there prior we started our ghusl.

The reason for the question is because we are living in west and also I dont believe we have to purify the inner area in the washroom but your assistance or clarification can help me.

We know there are two types of Impurities(Najasat), Physical and Spiritual.Those that are related to physical body we call them “Hadath al Asghar” and this which are related to our spirit is called “Hadath al Akber”. Now if a person has passed wind from rear or had urination or released himself, he has to clean only that area let’s say Urinary parts and anal region and for Namaz has to do Wudhu. Incase of passing wind even no need to wash that part just has to do Wudhu.
But Incase of Janabat, Hayz, Nefas, Istehaza, and touching the dead body he/she has do wajib Ghusl before Namaz or touching the letter of Quran or entering into the mosque etc but in this case his outer body is not NAJIS therefore if he/she sits or touches any object that would not become Najis as he/she has NO AYN e NAJIS ( original najasat). So now there is no need of washing the walls or bathing tub before or after Ghusl at all. During the Ghusl when we put water over our body either by hand shower or Jug etc the water drops down after touching our body is NOT a NAJIS water ( only in case of Janabat if a person has washed out the semen remained on his/her body after that his/her body becomes Pak Physically now he /she has to do Niyat of Qurabatan Ilallah to make is sprit PAK and then he/she will be able to perform any wajib rituals like Tawaf, Namaz etc.

So basically if I had to take hayz and janabah ghusl together I do not have to worry for such things as I already cleaned my body earlier and then took ghusl with wajib niyyat?

As you have mentioned :”So basically if i had to take hayz and janabah ghusl together...”

Let me please make this clear also that while it is allowed that man can have relation with his wife just after her hayz has been stopped and she has not yet done her Ghusl e Hayz but it’s better not to be done and woman should take her Ghusl e Hayz then she she can have relation with her husband.


Ruling 457. If a woman is divorced after her ḥayḍ has stopped, the divorce is valid even if she has not yet performed ghusl. Furthermore, [after her ḥayḍ has stopped but before she has performed ghusl] her husband can have sexual intercourse with her. However, the obligatory precaution is that intercourse must take place after washing the vagina; and the recommended precaution is that having sexual intercourse with her should be avoided before she has performed ghusl. However, other acts that were unlawful for the woman during ḥayḍ on account of them being conditional on her being in a state of ritual purity – such as touching the writing of the Qur’an – do not become lawful for her until she performs ghusl. Similarly, based on obligatory precaution, acts that have not been established as being unlawful for a ḥāʾiḍ on account of them being conditional on her being in a state of ritual purity, such as staying in a mosque [also do not become lawful for her until she performs ghusl].

Agar hum roze se ho aur haiz ajae toh hamara roza continue kar sakte hai?
Kya hamara usdin roza likha likha jaega ya kaza rakhna padega?

Aisa koi fatwa hai k agar haiz subha k 10-11 ka baad aye toh roz continue karna chahiye?

Agar roza iftar main 5 minutes bhi bache hon aur hayz aa jaye to us ka roza baad main qaza karna parhega. Aur aisa koi fatwa nahin hai ke 10-11 am ke baad is din ka roza shumar kiya jayega.

I work for 14 days at my work location and remain at home for 14 days and there is a transit period of 2 days at Mumbai City far away from my hometown for job purpose. My work location is 80km away from Mumbai where I stay for 2 days before going to my work location. Should I offer Qasar namaz in Mumbai?

Doesn’t matter it’s your part of job but your main Destination is the place where you work for 14 days not Mumbai.
According to Ayatullah Sistani

Who is a Kasir al-Safar (frequent traveler)?
Answer: One who travels for ten days in a month and sixty days in six months, he is considered a frequent traveler. Therefore, he should offer complete prayers and observe fast.

This will be applied for your work place not for Mumbai.

I am reading the English translation of the Quran and a verse troubles me as I am unsure of its meaning. By the Will of Allah, could you explain verse 26, where Allah uses the example of a gnat?

“God does not shy away from making an example of a gnat, or something above it. As for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did God intend by this example?" He leads astray many thereby, and He guides many thereby; but He misleads thereby only the evildoers.”

The purpose of a parable is to make the meaning of an abstract idea more clear and explicit with the help of a material thing in order to assist the mind in catching the idea through consideration. The more man's wisdom is dependent on his base understanding, the less vigorous strength he has to conceive the spirit and reality of things when his imagination interferes.
That is why that in the Divine Book and in the words of the wise and men of letters, the essence of meanings are stated in the form of parables to make complicated concepts plain, hence through a logical thing find a way to the philosophical.

A 'gnat' is a small insect which is perceptible by the naked eye. Gnat is mentioned in this verse, perhaps, to show that striking a similitude between small things or beyond it is not inappropriate for the Glorious Dignity of the Essence of Allah, but to confirm that the proportion of His Sovereignty is the same over big or small, high or low and, in general, all are encompassed by His Power and are benefited by His endless Mercy and Grace.

Furthermore, if we observe carefully, we will see that all the creatures, whether complex or simple, like a chain, are linked to one another. They are so interrelated and perform their duties with such surprising harmony and regularity that it is as if they have formed a single unit to take part in a general service.

The term 'gnat', in this verse, may refer to the greatness and fairness that is used in the creation of a gnat, this very small creature.

Concerning this meaning, there is a tradition from Imam al-Sadiq (as) who said:

"Verily, Allah (s.w.t.) has set forth a parable of a gnat because He has created 'gnat', with that small size it has, consisting of all that He has created in {an elephant' with that bigness it possesses, and He has added two other limbs (for gnat) in order to stimulate (the attention of) the believers to notice the delicacy and frailness of His creation and His wonderful production. " 10

In another occurrence in the Qur'an, He (s.w.t.) has said:

"Do they not look at camels, how they are created?" (Surah Al-Qashiyah. No. 88. verse 17).
Upon the importance of the intriguing creation of living creatures, Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (as) in one of his sermons has said: "...How could it be? Even if all the animals of the earth whether birds or beasts, stabled cattle or pasturing ones, of different origins and species, dull people and sagacious men –all jointly try to create (even) 'a gnat' they are not able to bring it into being and do not understand what is the way to its creation.

Their wits are bewildered and wandering. Their powers fall short and fail, and they return disappointed and tired, knowing that they are defeated and admitting their inability to produce it, also realizing that they are too weak (even) to destroy it..." 11

The verse continues saying:

“...As for those who have Faith, they know that it is the truth from their Lord..."
Those who have believed in Islam and accepted the Word of Allah know that these miraculous statements are issued from the Origin of revelation. They know quite well that these parables are vivid and appropriate and are revealed from their Lord.

They conceive the fact in this way because their hearts are empty of envy, grudges and pride and their souls are the site of the light of illumination and knowledge.

"...And for those who reject Faith, they ask: ‘What does Allah mean by this parable?'..."
Those who have disbelieved and covered the light of Faith with the curtain of infidelity have ultimately blinded their own insight. They have made their ears, which were able to hearken to the Divine Words, deaf. They, ignorantly or mockingly, inquire that what was Allah's aim by giving this for a similitude that He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright.

In Tafsir-ut- Tibyan, vol. 1, page 19, Shaykh Tusi says: " It is like that a speaker asks what Allah means by this parable that thereby some may be led astray and some be guided. In answer to this question, Allah says that none will be led astray save the transgressors; but the way is open to the believers to reach the climax of understanding and conception with knowledge and true Faith."

What is the meaning of taslim here:

'The Night Prayer consists of eight units of prayer; each two alone. Taslim should be said at the end of each two units with the intention of offering the Night Prayer.'

Taslim means giving Salam at the end of each two units. As you know that all Mustahab prayers are of TWO Rak’at (units) only therefore after every 2nd Rak’at one should say both Tashahhud and Salam then stand up for Next salat and he/she not allowed to connect each of them. So it’s simple after second Rak’at we should say Tashahhud and Salam and finish our namaz of two units then stand for next salat.

Please suggest me that what should be best routine or timings for sleeping considering prayers and salat ul layl? Like what time person should sleep and wake up? And how many hours person should sleep to get enough sleep too? And then do other works as Ramzan is also near?

If we talk according to Morden medical science normally an adult should sleep not less than 6 hours. That’s not against Islamic shariya too. But in Islam it has been condemned if a person sleeps too much. Also we should have at least 3 hours gap between our dinner and going to the bed. It has been highly recommended in Islam that we wake early in the morning and it has been advised against for a person to sleep while sun is rising. All these have been scientific approved too. So if we want to get up early we have to go to the bed early if possible. Sleeping plays very important role in our health. Like mid day nap has also many benefits even if it’s just for 15-20 minute after taking our lunch.
There are so many thing have described in this regards.

I have one question related to mutta. I want to know what’s the conditions to be in mutta.
If girl is unmarried however she is independent (working lady) can she perform mutta without wali's permission?

Mu’ta in Islam is a secondary option when a person due to different genuine reasons can’t to permanent marriage do Mu’ta but we can’t make Mu’ta as a tool of lust. Also there is a culture in some families they do Mu’ta before permanent marriage in order to bride and groom understand each other but they refrain from having sex( it’s conditional otherwise if there no prior condition has been set, they can live life like a husband and wife) but in all cases if girl has father or if father is not alive grandfather and she is not married doesn’t matter how old she is has to take permission from her father. But if there is no wali alive, she can take her decision on her own unless her father has not made anyone as her guardian.

If while reciting Namaz we realise that there are some food particles in mouth (stuck in teeth) can we remove it and throw it during Namaz or should we just keep it in the mouth till the Namaz is completed.

If possible to remove it then it’s better to remove it either by hand or with piece of clothe but try not to swollen it.

I was advised to keep the name of Allah “Al Wahaab” as a Tahweez on my body once it is written in saffron. I was wondering if writing it as “Al Wahaab”, “Ya Wahaab”, or “Ya Wahaabo” is correct to gain the maximum benefit. Also, is there any benefit to writing “Ya Jaleelo” and wearing it as a ring with care and respect?

I’m not against that but rather than writing and making Tanweez if we just sit in the mid of night and ponder what does Wahhab means what does Jaleel means and ask Allah O’ Allah give me this opportunity to understand true meaning of Asma al Husna and implement it in our own life. Allah has appointed Bani Adam as His Khalifa on the earth what does it mean by Khalifa ? Who can be khalifatullah? Of course it’s our altimate goal of life but how? Only when we try to adopt these qualities in us. Otherwise if we wear hundreds of such taweez believe me nothing to happen. May Allah guide us and keep us on His path.

Because of the corona virus my neighbours are scared to go outside and to buy groceries. Is it permissible to go buy groceries for them? For example to touch and buy non halal meat. I really want to help them but i dont know if it is permissible

You can help then but not allowed to help or serve for them alcoholic beverages. You may excuse for it and for rest things it’s of but if you touched any najis wet thugs make sure to wash it before touching you own goods.

1 month pehly mujhy apny wazu me shak hota tha k mera wazu sahi nh hua to me bar bar krti thi. Ase namz me b shak hota tha. Ab wazu bar bar krny ki adat hogai hai. Ek wazu kr k me mutamain nhi hoti. Ab ramzan agya hai ab bhi meri yehi adat hai ek wazu krun to dil nh manta k wazu hua hai ya nh. Bataein me kya krun is waja sy meri sari ibadat disturb hogai hain. Ab ramzan hai to ziyda shak hota hai k wazu nh hua to namaz nh hogi. Please bataein kuch kya krun me

Iska sabse simple aur easy tariqa eh hai ke:
Aap apne aap se sawal kijia.
1- Kia Shariat e Islam ki banane wala Allah hai ya main hoon. Ab agar Allah to usne jaisa hukm diya hai aap anjam de rahi hain.
Ab jo iske alawa shak aa raha hai eh sirf aur sirf aur sirf Shaitan ka bahkawa hai jo aapko Allah ki ebadaton se mahroom rkhna chahta hai.
2- Agar Islam ki shariat main aapka bhi koi dakhal hai to ab agar aapka DIL nahin manta to aap us kam anjam deti rahen kionke aapke DiL ki baat hai Allah ka ismain to koi role hai nahin lehaza agar aap apne Dil ki baat sunti hai to 100 baar Wudhu kijia magar itna jaan lijia eh aapka Wudhu aapke Dil ke Liye hoga na ke Allah ke liye.
Isse ziyada main aur kuch nahin kahoonga
Jis bhi Sharyee ebadat ya Amal main aapko lage mera Dil nahin manta jab ke shariat ke jaisa kaha aapne anjam diya agar aapko lagta hai ke aapne anjam nahin diya ya de rahi hai to samajh jayen eh Shaita ka waswasa hai aur kuch nahi.

If a couple adopts a girl, will she become mehram for her now father and how?

No girl can’t be mahram for other male children of the family and father too and if the adopted child is a male child he will also be non mahram for the woman who would raised him.
But if the child( either male or female) feed breast milk from the woman then she/he will be mahram for both father and mother.

I know a girl, she has been married to a person whom she dislikes. She was not willing to marry him. I want to know is her marriage void ?

If she agreed at the time of Nikah then her Nikah is valid. Now my humble request to all youths is that it’s true they have ambitious nature and they always feel that what they have decided is correct but in few cases we have give much more importance to our elders because they have more experience than them. Also Allah (swt) gives much more rewards if any how one of the spouse is not behaving well to the other so we have many example like Lady Asiyah( wife of Firaun) Allah (swt) has made her as an exemplary woman for both men and woman but you see how her life was. Can anyone imagine the cruelty of Firaun and when a lady bears all those pains and keep her faith strong and keep her modesty then obviously Allah ( swt) will reward. So please now tell to her to manage with her current situation because if for God forsake the issue would lead up to divorce then many families will collapse and they will face many problems both socially and psychologically. Rely on Allah (swt) by passing time everything will be settled. There are hundreds of example we have in our society where girl married against her wish but after that everything became normal.
We have leave some affairs on Allah (swt) and then we will see. He creates love and affection in the hearts of bride and groom not us. So don’t worry.

Can I use eye dops while I am fasting?

I usually buy a small token of Gold Jewellery for my daughter or wife once in a year. My wife also has Gold Jewellery which came during the wedding time. Do I have to remove Zakat on the Gold Ornaments which I have ?

Zakat on Gold and silver becomes obligatory only when they are made into coins, and are in currency for transactions. Zakat should, however be paid on them even if their stamp has been effaced.

How are Issued Ejaza's Audited/ checked and Cross checked.
What if they collect more than stipulated amount in Ejaza ?
What if they give donors receipts and don't disclose to Marjaa and in their balance sheet.
What if they open Trust account and do commercial transactions as and when they require funds for their personal business?
What if they increase Salaries / Rent / Office expenditure/ Electricity and water and use for their personal benefit.
Does this system of collecting Khums based on Ejaza have any checks and balances?
or should we just pay and rest leave it to our Imam

For sure giving Khums money to a reliable and authentic representative or to owner of ijaza is important same as it is obligatory to release the Khums money from our net savings.
As for as it’s correct and legal use is concern, yes a person is not allowed to use it for his/her personal needs unless he/she has permission from the office of the Marja.
Now if any institution has Ijaza of Sahme Imam (any percentage ) then the amount it is taking from the Muqallid has to divided fairly and rest of the amount should be given to the office of that marja. But in some cases few institution, they get Ijaza of a specific figure e.g. they have permission that in one year they can take let’s say 1 million INR, now if their collection goes more than 1 million, rest they have to sent to their marja otherwise if they have received 5 lakhs they can use all.
Iff they have for example a school, of course they have to use the received amount for rent, electricity bill and many more bills including salaries of their staff. There is no issue in that but same time all has to be very clear and accessible for every donor and even for normal Mo’menins. Also authorities of that institution are not allowed to use single penny for their personal need.
In short it is very important for a Muqallid that he has to know where he is giving the Khums money really do they have Ijaza from his Marja and what is the mode of Ijaza they I mean their purpose and percentages and do they really working on ground or just they have opened the offices and working on paper only. There are many institutions they truly working for community but sometimes unfortunately there some who just making it a their business.

Mene raat ko niyat kari thi ke me roza rakhungi our me sehri me uth nhi pae our meri fajar bhi qaza ho gai. Kiya me ab roza rakh sakti hu jabke zohar ki azan ho juki hai

If I live in a country such as Singapore, Thailand and Malayisa where its impossible to avoid najassat from hindou and chinese people what to do? Do we have to apply the rule like in China and India?
Because most of the population are chinese

Yes if you are 100% sure about the Najasat of a place you must avoid if you are sure about food that it is cooked by non Muslim( chines or Hindus). You must not eat nor should you buy 'halal animal’s meat' from departmental stores unless you are sure that it is slaughtered according to Islamic Shariya. But I think Malaysia must be different from Singapur and Hong Kong.

I bought already a product then I just learnt that we can not buy product that support israel. So now I still can eat this because I did not know? If I throw it will be asraf

There is no permission as to dealing with Israeli products and products of companies which are known to be supporting Israel in an effective way.

I completed to pray namaz magrib and isha and then I noticed there was a book with a picture in the direction. I did not do it intentionaly

Is my namaz valid?

Your namaz is valid. Only it is Makrooh to offer namaz in front of any living animal’s picture. Doesn’t matter it is in front of you or back of you or it’s left or right of you.

My nani’s family is ismaeli
We avoid eating their food but sometimes we failed and they forced us to eat what my anty cooked. She believes on Allah swt and Rassoul e Khuda and Imam Ali (as). Sometimes she does namaz and fast

Is it okay to eat her food when we have no choice?

She is considered as Muslim right?

If she believes in 3 basics and Fundaments of Islam i.e. Oneness of Allah, all Prophets sent by Allah and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the last Prophet of Allah and The Day of Judgment (Qiyamat) then she will be considered as Muslim and Tahir

What is white magic and what is black magic? If can you explain please

No doubt there is black magic even Surah Falaq says it

وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ

And from the evil of those who blow on knots

So black magic is a magic or witchcraft which people do to harm others and there is white magic which doesn’t harm anyone but used to entertain people.
But in Islam both types of magic, both it’s learning and teaching to others is haram and the one who does it is a cursed person and will see severe punishment by Allah (swt) therefore there are many ways shown in Hadith that if anyone feels he would be trapped in black magic should recite Surah Falaq and Sura Nas and Ayatal Kursi whenever one wants to come out from his house. Give Sadaqah every day and ask Refuge from Allah (swt) from such evil things.

Please don’t be misguided by professionals who’s job is to mislead innocent people on the name of Taveez etc. They just misuse people’s weaknesses specially women. Just rely on God in each and every affairs of your day to day life and have Wasila of Ahlulbait (a.s).

Ek bewa maa ka haq sharyat me kya he. Aulad ko kya karna chaye.

Jahan tak parents ke Huqooq ki baat hai Islam main wajib hai ke Aulad apne waledain ki kifalat karen. Aur Waledain ke Huqooq ka andaza is baat se lagaya ja sakta hai ke unko apne bachche ke paison main se kharj karne ke liye ijazat lene ki bhi zaroorat nahin hai.
Aulad ke uper Maan aur Baap ki kifalat zaroori hai chahe waledain ke pass kitna paisa hi kion na ho. Eh aur baat hai ke waledain apni Aulad se kuch na len magar unka poora haqq hai.
Quran aur Hadis ki raushni maine waledain ki khidmat per bahot ziyada taqeed ki gayee hain. Kisi bhi situation main Aulad waledain ko naraz nahin kar sakta aur har soorat main Aulad ko waledain ki baat manni hai sewaye kisi Haram kaam ke.
Jahan tak Maan ki baat hai to Maan se barh kar is Duniya main koi dosri shakhsiat Allah be banayee hi nahin hai. Nabi aur Imam ke alwa agar kisi to ita’at wajib hai to woh Maan aur Baap hi hain.
Maan agar bewa to uska jo sharyee haqq uske Shauhar ki property main chahye woh Cash money ho ya property ho zaroori hai. Aulad apne walid ke inteqal ke baad unki Poori property ko nahin le sakta balke Quran main Sura Nisa ki Ayat 12 main clear likha hai agar Husband ka inteqal ho jaye aur uske bachche na hon to 1/4 property uski wife ko milegi aur agar bachche hon to 1/8


وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزْوَاجُكُمْ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِينَ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوصُونَ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ وَإِن كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُورَثُ كَلَالَةً أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ وَلَهُ أَخٌ أَوْ أُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ فَإِن كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فِي الثُّلُثِ مِن بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَىٰ بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ وَصِيَّةً مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ

And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt; and they shall have the fourth of what you leave if you have no child, but if you have a child then they shall have the eighth of what you leave after (payment of) a bequest you may have bequeathed or a debt; and if a man or a woman leaves property to be inherited by neither parents nor offspring, and he (or she) has a brother or a sister, then each of them two shall have the sixth, but if they are more than that, they shall be sharers in the third after (payment of) any bequest that may have been bequeathed or a debt that does not harm (others); this is an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.(Sura Nisa: 12)

Lehaza bewa Maan ka sharyee haq banta hai uske shauhar ki property main aur eske alawa Aulad ke uper apni Maan ki Kifalat wajib hai. Aulad ke uper farz hai ke woh apni Maan ka poora kharj Bardasht kare. Ismain kisi aitbaar se na to koi shak hai aur na tardeed.

Quran mai kon kon se sureh ko maouzatain kaha gaya hy?

Surah “Al Falaq” aur Surah “An-Nas” ko Maouzatain (معوذتين) kaha jata hai.

Muttah kiye huve ho jiske sath uske sath foreplay kr sakte hy aur foreplay karte samay ek dusre ki mani kharij kar sakte hy?

Agar Mut’a main koi condition aisi nahin rakhi gayee hai to bilkul woh sab kuch kar sakte hain jo ek Husband aur wife kar sakte hain.

Meri family taqleed k mamle me bht strict he. Wo chahte he ke mere hone wale husband b taqleed kre. Yha esi situation me esa hoskta he ke wo ladka jhoot bol de k haa me taqleed krta hu?

Agar che Taqlid ek ahem mas’ala hai aur shariat ke laws ko follow karne main ahem issue hai magar aisa to nahin hai ke agar koi taqlid nahin karta to uske Shia hone main koi problem hai.
Magar itna zaroor hai ke agar faith main similarities nahin hongi to aapke liye future main diqqat hogi.
Magar jaisa ke aapne likha hai ke woh jhoot bol den ke taqlid karte hain to sawal eh hai ke ek Insan jhoot bolne ke taiyyar hai jo ke haram hai aur is baat ke liye taiyyar nahin hai ke din ke usool aur qawanin ko kisi expert se maloom karna chahiye. Ajeeb baat hai!
Shadi main kabhi kabhi choti baten age chalkar musibat ka sabab banti hain.
Lehaza agar mumkin hai to larke ko samjhaya jaye ke deen ke wajibat ke mas’ale main parents ki itteba nahin ki ja sakti. Agar unke parents taqlid nahin mante purane khayalat ke hain to eh to duniya dekh rahe hain. Inko samajhna chahiye ke kia haqq hai aur kiya batil.

Wo actually khud taqleed nai krna chah rhe. Unka kehna he ke jab hmare akhri imam zamana (as) he to hum q kisi ko follow kre. Baqi bat rhi shia hone ki, Alhamdulillah wo proper azadar he baqi sb jo imam farmate he unpe amal krte he lekin sirf taqleed isi waja se nai krte k Imam (as) ko sirf follow kre. Yha pr ek yhi masla he

This is really a matter of concern because Ayatullah Sistani’s Fatwa is as follows that, “ If a person performs his acts for some time without taqlid of a Mujtahid, and later follows a Mujtahid, his former action will be valid if that Mujtahid declares them to be valid, otherwise they will be treated as void.”
I’ve a question; as we know that the life and system today’s we follows is same as at the time of Imam a Masoom (a.s). If anyone says it’s same then let me ask three issue with is very common now a days:
What should we do being a true Muslim.
1- At the time of Imam e Masoom medical science had not discovered the issue of artificial insemination or IVF or IUI not today if any couple do not have child and their life is fading lots of problem due to not having child in such situations what they have to do? Do they do IVF or not ? If not then why ? If yes then on what ground if Islamic shariaya? Because niether we have any verse in the holy Quran regarding this issue nor we have any direct Hadith from a Imam e Masoom.(a.s).
2- A person is a chain smoker and shariat says inhaling any dust or smoke which passes through our throat can invalidate our fast but same time there is a electronic cigarette which has neither smoke nor dust particle so does a person allowed to smoke electronic cigarettes while fasting?
3- Gelatin commonly used substance in hundreds of our daily food products also we know gelatin is abstracted from either halal animal or Haram. In this case what should we do? Who can tell gelatins is allowed or not ? Who can tell there is transformation taken place or not?
All these issue they can find in any Hadith directly if anyone can capable to show them in any Hadith then there are still many issue that really this Hadith is correct or not. Source of Hadith is true or not , Hadith has been said while Imam E Masoom was in Taqqaiya or normally he said.
Religion is not a play or sport that anyone can deal with it.

Again I’m saying as long as shariat concern you can do Nikah but you are gonna live with a person who’s faith and idea and views in Religion is 180 degree different from you.

Agar namaz ma dunyavi khayal aaye to namaz tod dani chiya? Ya kya kare?

Agar is hadd taq khayal ho ke namaz ki zahiri shakl badal jaye to namaz batil ho jayegi.

Agar kisi k hath k nails k niche skin me kisi tarah ka oil lag gaya ho jo nikal na raha ho aur wo jante huye k wo he firbhi ghusl wajib hone ki halat tak jaye to kya karna chahiye use?

nikal na rahi ho wo cheez to?

Ghusl (Poori body) ya Wudhu main (jis hisse ko dhona ya masah ) karna hai us per koi aisi cheez nahin hona chahiye jisse pani skin tak na pahonch sake lehaza kan ke ander ya naak ke ander pani pahochana zaroori nahin hai. Isliye agar nails ke niche koi cheez hai to usse Ghusl ya Wudhu per koi farq nahin parhega.

I want to know is there any sin if I cancel a mutah (Engagement) with a girl just because i don't like her looks?

First of all Mut’a is not an engagement but Mut’a has a certain time period so when that time would finish Mut’a marriage will automatically nullify. But it’s not like an engagement because engagement has no Islamic authenticity. Yes you can break Mut’a marriage before it’s time and there is no sin for doing that.
But as you said you want break this marriage just because she doesn’t look beautiful.
No doubt beauty is one of the factor in liking someone but make sure this physical beauty has very short period and then after few years this will go whether you wish or you don’t. But the Akhlaq and character and spiritual beauty will remain until a person is alive. So in marriage we should be very careful that we have to give priority to her/ his Religion, Akhlaq and Behavior. In future she is going to be mother of your kids so if her character is good, she will raise a better generation but if you select a beautiful spouse and her character is not good, then when she will become aged you will loose your attraction and love for her because you have selected her because of her beauty not because of her character, Now her beauty is no more so you will not have any interest in her.
Therefore don’t break this relationship just because she is not so beautiful. Woman is not a model of statue that one has to show her to others and be praised by others as wow you have a nice wife! No thats not Islam.
But if there is another reason and that reason is genuine and really going to affect your martial life in future then you can think about it. But don’t make criteria for your future partner that she must be very beautiful and wealthy etc.
Always look Religion and character of a family where you want to select your wife.
Think carefully and then take any decision you will be responsible for this on the day of Judgment.
But again I’m saying if she has any bad character or behaviour or her family background is not good then you can have choice to accept her or not before having permanent marriage.

Is Adhan by a minor (Nabaligh) valid?

Yes if the minor is Mumai’iz ( knows what is good and what is bad) therefore you can say a boy who is 10 years old is a Mumai’iz boy.

Can the Jinn live with us in the same house? Can they do something to us to scare us? Can they hurt us?

No doubt other than humans, there is another creation of Allah which exist who we call Jinn. Also on the basis of Quranic proof we know that their origin is different from us human beings. Now in light of some rewayat ( traditions) it has come that amongst Jinn we have good and bad Jinn too. We have Kafir and Muslim jinn too. Also their body is soft and not visible for us, they can move and live anywhere. But same time we have many myths and rumors about Jinn too. It unfair and unjust that because of their invisibility they harm humans. Allah (swt) has not created any creation out of ignorance and without purpose therefore it’s not completely true that Jinn harms people frequently. They have their own purpose of life and Quran is also their Holy book as it is for human beings.
So we can say they can live any place even where human being also live but it doesn’t mean they always create problems for humans or they have any superiority over humans. Human beings are the best creation of Allah (swt) as Quran says ( Certainly We have created Human in the best form of creation). So yes Jinn does exist and can live with us without our knowledge but they have no authority to cause any problem for us.

Kabhi jb mai na mahram se baat krta hu toh mera thoda sa sperm nikl jaata hai. Toh mera sawal yeh hai ki kya mujhe ghusl krna padega paak hone ke liye?

Agar jo fluid nikalta hai uske baad aapko kamzori ka ahsas hota ya woh uchal ka nikalta hai ya uska color white gharha aur strong smelly hai to eh semen hai lehaza iske baad aapko Ghusl e Janabat karna wajib hai. Aur agar nikalne wala madda( liquid) transparent hai aur smell nahin hai aur uchal kar nahin nikalta to woh semen nahin hai is liye uske nikalne ke baad ghusl ki zaroorat nahin hai.
Magar ahem baat yeh hai ke aisa kion hota hai agar aap kisi na mahram se flirt karte hain mera matlab sex se related baat karte hain to eh haram hai aur sakht gunah hai.
Agar normal baat karte hain aur aisa hota hai to doctor ko dikhayen aur elaj karen. Ashlil videos ya chatting mat karen apne khayal ko pak rakhen aur Allah se madad talib kare aapki mushkil ho hal kare.

Smelling and tasting invalidates fasting or not?

Smelling can’t invalidate fast. If anything which has been tasted but not swollen, then fast is ok.

What is the proper method to brush during fasting?

There is no special method has prescribed for brushing ones tooth but it is very important that there should not remain any food material in between our teeth therefore it’s better to brush at suhoor time. Also during brushing we should be careful that the tooth paste should not pass below the throat otherwise fast will become invalid.

Any books on etiquettes of islam that you recommend?

There are many book on Islamic etiquettes
I recommend you please read treatise of Imam Ali bin Hussain(a.s) please follow this link:

https://www.al-islam.org/treatise-rights-risalat-al-huquq-imam-ali-zayn-al-abidin

https://www.al-islam.org/printpdf/book/export/html/28752

Digital platforms like paytm,amazon etc offered rewards in form of 5%cashback, 20%or 100% cashbacks when we use certain debit cards, credit card etc to do recharge or shopping etc. Is this cashbacks halal or not?

You know better the system of credit and debit card
Actually it’s not an extra or reward money which they give us with the name of bonus and offer etc. When we pay by credit to a seller they charge service charges from seller and that’s why seller fixes his price for any goods keeping all these charge so as much as a customer uses the credit or debit card they both ( seller and bank) make their profit therefore there is nothing wrong to get this offer or bonus money. At the end it’s yours and ours.

Does listening to sex story makes gusul wajib?

No just listening can’t make Ghusl wajib, Ghusl e Janabat becomes wajib after ejaculation of semen either it has done by Halal way or Haram way or it happens while a person is sleeping or awake.
But listening sex stories is haram.

I am a Shia and the girl which I love is also a shia. She also loves me. We only talk to each other and have no sexual talk or act between us. Also we don't do other haram acts. And mutah is difficult for her and our family will not allow us to do nikkah at this age. So is it good to continue this or what should we have to do ?

Alhamdolillah good you follow the Sharia but it’s clear that none of the Islamic laws can authoriz you or any man or woman that they can have any close relationship (while they touch each other) other than a formal relationship e.g two employees working in same office or two students in a same school or college. So this excuse has no value that your parents are not agreeing so you can’t do neither temporary marriage nor permanent therefore you can have relationship because you both are na mahram for each other. Therefore the best solution in your case is that you can assure her that you want to marry her and when conditions will be favorable for you, you will propose her officially. Till then you should avoid to having such relation which could bring down yours and hers dignity in the society. Otherwise there will be many issues if you are neither office colleague nor class mates then on what basis you talk and meet each other? When Islam says that a young woman should not say salam to a na mahram man then how I can tell you that you can continue your relationship even if it has no bad intention

Does Islam allow us to have relationship with a girl? What is the appropriate age to do so.

According to Islamic Shariaya when a girl becomes 9 years old ( according to Lunar calendar) and a boys becomes 15 then they are BALIGH ( adult) not in this condition both should not have any type of relation with any na mahram which could lead their relation to a Haram act. But they can talk each other do work each other as long as they follow the rules.
Now what you are asking has no place in Islam. The only thing I can say is if any boy likes a girl and a girl likes a boy and they have decided to become life partner,s they can do Nikah or if possible do Mu’ta with the permission of girl’s father and then they can talk each other and understand each other then after that can do Permanent Marriage.

Doing wudhu wearing najis clothes invalidates it or not?

Mujhe niyaz or fateha ka proper tareeka bataye.

Waise Nazr ka matlab hai ek tarah se kisi cheez ka qarar dena is cheez ke baad jab uski murad poori ho jaye misal ke taur per aapne nazr mani ke agar aapka koi kam poora ho jaye to aap ek din roza rakhenge lehaza ab agar aapki Murab Poori ho gayee to ab aap per us din Roza rakhna wajib ho jayega.
Ab choonke hamare samajh main Fateha aur Niyaz ek hi mana main hai lehaza Fateha ka waise to matlab hai Sura Al Fateha ( surah al Hamd)
Iska treeqa eh hai ke his Imam ki Niyaz dila rahe hain pahle Salawat 3 baar parhen aur fir Bismillah parh kar Sura Hamd 1 baar aur fir 3 baar Sura Ikhlas parhen aur fir 3 baar Salawat parh kar kahen is Niyaz ko Hadiya kiya Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) ya Panjatan e Pak ko ya 14 Masumin ko (jis Masum ki Nazr ki Niyyat ho) uske baad jo aapki hajat ho usko talab kijia.

Ab agar kisi apne Marhoom ke liye Niyaz hai to kahe Marhum ka nam aur 14 Masumin ke wasile se is Nazr ka sawab Hadiya kiya ( Marhum ka naam)

Mujhe puchna tha aapse k mera beta 8 mahine ka hone aaya hai. Wo raat me roz sone ko rota hai. Meri biwi or meri dono ko raat me neend nahi milti, fir agle din kaam rehta hai to dono ko taklif hoti hai. Abhi ramzan bhi hai to der raat se soti hai to sahiri me uthna fir sahri banana, usse nahi ho paata hai, tabyat b kharab hojati hai uski. Jese k aaj raat abhi jaakar mera beta soya hai, raat bhar pareshan kiya hai. To iske liye Humlogne online padhe hai to wo log kehte hai k bacho ko sleep habbit banani padhti hai, jese k 1 time karlo k roz ye time par lights band, koi aawaz nahi honi chhiye, bache ko thoda behla or goodnight bolkar chod de use sone ko. Bache starting me sone ko naatak karte hai, bohat royega but ignore karo. 10 min tak ro hi rha hai to fir jao uske paas usko behlao, uthao mat, or sone kaho goodnight bolo or fir chodkar aajao. Ese karne se unhe khudse sone ki habbit bhi hogi or wo royega b nahi sone ko. To mujhe jaan na tha k kya ye tarika hum apna sakte hai, islamic way se? Ye zulm to nahi bache par?

This is part of life so please don’t worry. Yeh bahot common hi bat hai aur shayad inhin qurbaniyon ki wajah Se Allah be Qur’an main jab bhi apni ebadat ka zikr kiya hai to fauran waledain ke sath neki ka hukm diya. Jab jab main poori raat jagta tha to apne Waledain ke liye Du’a karta the ke aaj is bachche ne ehsas dila diya ke meri parwarish main hamare waledain ne kitni zahmaten bardash ki woh bhi uswaqt jab zindagi ki basic needs bhi easily available nahin hoti thin.
Lehaza is cheez ko nemat janiye aur aisa magane kijia ke Pahle 3-4 hrs aapki wife so le aur aap apna kam kijia agar bachcha rota hai to aap use bheech main dekhte rahe aur iske bad aise hi aapki wife kare.
Islam main jab bachcha 5 yrs ke around ho jaye to ab usko alag sulana chahiye yahan tak ke uske siblings ke sath bhi nahin sulana chahiye.
Magar aaj agarche Europe aur America main 1 din ke bachche ko bhi alag hi sulate hain. Magar yahan bhi psychologist is baat ko mante hain ke jab bachcha physically parent’s se touch hota hai to usmain jo mohabbat jagti hai woh kisi aur tariqe se develope nahin ki ja sakti.
Baherhal kisi ne khoob kaha hai Allah ne waledain ko zamin per apni mohabbat aur ulfat ka mazhar qarar diya hai.

Agar che shariat main aisi koi cheez nahin hai ke agar bachche ko alag sulaya jaye to us per zulm hoga. Nahin, uske sone ka bed pass main lagaya ja sakta hai aur fir thori thori der per bachche ke seene per hath rakhne se usko ahsas hota hai ke koi mere pass hai. Aap bahot se tariqe try kar sakte hain ismain koi burayee nahin hai yahan tak ke log bahot chote bachchon ko bhi separate room main sulate hain to aisa nahin hai ke aisa karna bachche per zulm hai haan bas itna zaroor ghaurtalab hai ke 1.5 yrs ya 2 yrs ke bachche ko 8-10 hrs kisi daycare ya babysiter ke pass chorhne je jaisi awlad ki tarbiyat hogi fir un waledain ko future main complain karne ka haq nahin rah jata.

Mere walid ne 20 saal pahle ek zameen kharidi thi meri walida ke naam se halaki vo khums ada kartey they par ye yaad nahi ki voo zameen khums ada raqam se kharidi thi ya nahi. Baad me meri walida ka inteqaal ho gaya aur uss zamin pe mere walid ne apni job se retirement ke baad ek ghar banva diya taki ussey jo rent unhe mile ussey unka kharcha chalta rahe. Is ghar ko bananey mein unhone apne retirement ka jo funds unhe mila tha uska istemaal kiya jiska unhone khums ada nahi kiya tha. Abb mere walid ne ye ghar mujhe de diya hai. Mere pass apna khud ka maakan hai par uss par bank ka loan hai too main apne walid ke diye huve ghar ho sale karke apne zaati makaan ka loan pay karna chahta hun. Mujhe ye maloom karna hai ismey meri khums ki kya zimmedari hai.

If a person inherits some property and knows that the person from whom he inherited it did not pay khums on it, he must pay khums on it. Similarly, if the property itself is not liable for khums but the heir knows that the person from whom he inherited it owed some khums, he must pay khums on it from the deceased’s estate. However, in both cases, if the person from whom he inherited it did not believe in paying khums or never paid it, then it is not necessary for the heir to pay the khums owed by the deceased.

I put some money in mutual funds more than 10 years ago and I have recently redeemed it. Please let me know if there is khums on this or not.

Yes there is Khums in it as it was you saving.

In the stance that someone is gay (boy/boy) or (girl/girl)
1. Is it haram for them to have physical contact with someone they are attracted to? Like if a guy hugs a guy he’s attracted to (in a friend way) but the one that’s attracted thinks more than that. Does it make it haram on the guy that’s attracted
2. Is it haram for them to do things friends would do even though in this case both are attracted to each other such as become roommates, have dinner, spend the day together etc

I want it backed up with hadith or fatwas.

1. Touching or looking at anyone or anything in lustful manner is Haram.
2. From Islamic perspective, homosexuality is Haram and one of the greater sins, hence any advancement which leads towards it is rendered unlawful. Other than that, the permissible acts such as eating, walking, talking etc. remain permissible for all.

‎وَاللَّذَانِ يَأْتِيَانِهَا مِنكُمْ فَآذُوهُمَا فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

And as for the two who are guilty of indecency from among you, give them both a punishment; then if they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.(4:16)

‎وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds. And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime! (7:80)
Also you may refer below verses:
(26:165), (27:54) and (29:28)

Hadith:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet cursed effeminate men; those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses." The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover.

"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'There is nothing I fear for my ummah more than the deed of the people of Loot.'"

I understand the position of Islam on having multiple wives – how they must be treated with utmost justice, and that normal people (if not most people) can not maintain two wives rightfully.

However, i just want some more knowledge and information on maintaining two wives. Like, the details on having two or more wives. What relationship is the between them? Can they live in the same house? Can they share the same bed? Are our children mahram to each other or to the sons of one wife to the other wives? Can you please send me some resources on this as I cant find anything .

It’s very clear if two wives are ready to live inside one house, ofcourse they can but a man can’t sleep with his two wives on the same bed. I mean he can’t have relation with one wife while another is also there. It’s Haram.
As for as children from two different wives are concerned, they are all bothers and sister so they are mahram for each other and their mothers are also mahram for each other as they are mothers( one is real the other one is step mother). In Islam a step mother is mahram for her step sons too.

Can somone recite namaz or quran or do some other pious work for someone instead of paying the amount of Radd e Mazalim . The peraon does not know if he owes anyone but is doing it as safety precaution. Also if he has money but does not prefer to give that money abd instead do some pious work .

Yes it is allowed hire some for performing Marhumins qaza salat and Roza and Hajj but all these ebadat cannot be done for those who are alive. Also if you don’t want give money someone in order to avoid making him/her lazy, you can ask them to recite Quran but for your Marhumins or you help him/ as Qarzul Hasanah and tell them whenever would have money give it back to me just to make him understand that he is not free to take that money and spend it. While you have intention not take it back.

I have read that the timings for intercourse should not be between sunset and till the redness of sky disappears. In the event of a child being born out of this act, how bad can it be? What will the effect be on the child, who was born as a result of the timings?

All these recommendations and instructions are just as a precautionary recommendations such as to avoid any mismanagement in your ebadat specially the wajib one like Salatul Maghrib. Also as it’s very clear this particular time ( close to sun set or sun rise) is very short and as for as privacy concern always there is a chances that there an obstacle can come so if a person is at his/her home then this can be possible any time but if a person is out of such environment and let’s say he/she is on trip and in hotel then they have to pay respect to their Salat timing. Therefore it’s not Haram at all and not even sin, it’s a extra ordinary precaution take by Islamic Shariya that also shows how accurate our religion is and how respectful towards our Modesty and Spirituality too. The only thing is give sadaqah (Charity) for safety of the child and rely on Allah (swt). But always try to be together with you spouse at least one hour of your meal ( I mean food you have taken) and do Wudhu before being together, always say Bismillahirrahmanirrahim and seek protection with Allah from the cursed Shaitan.

What is the condition of Loving Ahlulbait?

Any love with anybody requires our understanding and cognisant towards that thing or person. Our love will be more and more if we would know more. Example parents they love their children and children they love their parents reason despite their blood relation as parents they see their own image in their children and vice versa but another thing also evolve that is their understanding and knowledge with each other. Otherwise if someone else took responsibility of taking care and raising of a new born baby, we see after few years that child love that couple as if they are his/ her own parents.
Now if we want love any of Prophet or Aimmah ( Ahlul bait) or even Awliya Allah ( devotees of Allah) we must known about them and we must have knowledge and Marifat (cognisant) of them. Without knowing them we will not be able to love them and when we love them we would try to follow them ( and this is the actual and ultimate goal of our life) because with Knowing Prophets and Aimmah ( Ahlulbait) we would not be able to have true Cognisant of Allah (swt). Allah(swt) has no physical body, He can’t ascend down to the materialistic life to show His Holy attributes for example if I want to be a noble and kind person how do we know what exactly nobility and kindness is( May be one can say it’s a very Human nature ok I can accept while there is discussion in this concern but any how it’s ok ) but what about helping others by wealth by time by our knowledge, how we can get our role model or in Ebadat of Allah and finding the straight path ( Sirat al Mustaqim) who can guide us. In Islamic History none other than Alhlul bait after Holy Prophet is 100% pure and perfect human being and free from sins. Even very close companions of Holy Prophet, if we read their past history, either they were idolators or drinking wine or commiting other sins. When they became Muslim Allah forgave them but if you want find then 100% perfect role model for a Muslim, you can’t you still see a gap but about Alhlul Bait (a.s) no one can say a single word regarding their Faith their character or behavior or Piety ect. Therefore Alhlul bait ( a.s) after Holy Prophet (saww) are our appropriate and true role model who can fill all the gaps in our life which none other than them can do.

Her father is sunni and he does not believe in Mutta (Temporary Marriage) but women is a believer of Ahlulbait and she has converted in Shia’ism and she is in taqleed of Ayatollah Sistani.

A woman can’t do neither Mu’ta( temporary marriage) nor Nikah (permanent) marriage without her Fathers (wali) permission if she is a virgin girl. Doesn’t matter she is Shia or Sunni.

Kya koi aisa fatwa hai ki jiske uper koi loan baqi hai uske uper khums wajib nahi hai? Main har saal kuchh na kuchh khums nikal raha tha aur mere uper loan bhe baqi hai. Car kharidne ke liye liya tha. To kya me is saal khums na dun?

Agar kisi ne loan liya hai aur uske loan ki raqam uski yearly net saving se ziyada hai to us per Khums nahin hai. Magar ismain uski degar property bhi shamil ki jayegi jo uske akhtiyar main hai agar che woh cash ki shakl main hi kion na ho.
Misal ke taur per maine Bank se 3 lakh loan liya aur meri yearly saving 50,000 hai jo ke loan ki raqam se kam hai magar mere pass ek zamin hai( ismain aapki zaroorat ki cheez exempt hogi aapka ghar aur us ghar main zaroorat ka saman) aur woh zamin hamari saving hai (agar che cash ki shakl main Nahin hai) lehaza agar us zamin ki qimat aapke loan ki raqam (3 lakh) se ziyada hai to ab mujhe jo mere pass 50, 000 ki saving thi usmain se qist ki raqam (jitna bhi Bank ne fixed kiya) baqi bachi raqam per Khums dena hoga.
Ab agar main woh zamin sell kar doon aur woh paisa kharj kar daloo aur fir next year mere pass aisi koi property extra na ho jiski qimat hamare 300,000 loan ke barabar ho to ab jo bhi saving hogi agar woh saving 3 lakh se kam hi rahti hai to khums nahin dena hoga.

All the scholars mentioned that the revenge of Karbala would taken by Imam Mahdi as.
My question is: If the revenge is taken in this world then will there be any punishment for them on the day of judgement?

Yes we believe that in Raj’at all the oppressors and tyrant people will be resurrected and those innocent people who has been oppressed by them will also be resurrected and will take revenge. Then of course those they had done wrong with the holy house holds of Prophet (saww) will also become alive and revenged in this Duniya and finally will be punished in Hereafter too. Except Allah (swt) no one can evaluate the life value of Aimmah(a.s) and Prophet (a.s) oppressed by a tyrant and so we can’t judge if they have been revenged then that would be enough for them.

Do you know about ASMR (Auditory Sensory Meriden Response)?
Apparently its a type of sounds that trigger a relaxing mood to people and helps them to relax or sleep etc. Is it haram for a male to watch this to help him sleep?

Or is it impermissible because its a woman?
Here is an example
https://youtu.be/G4AiGKOXdzM

Yes we have many such therapies and tips. People do research, write their thesis and it works 20-30-50 years then new research comes and the old one goes to the dustbins. There are so many stories but really what these people should do sometimes if you see their life style and their business of course they have to develop such scientific invention or theories. Have you not see what happen last week in Nova Scotia (Canada) one man killed 22 innocent people even police failed to find the reason.
Quran says in Surah Rad verse 28:
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest by the remembrance of Allah; now surely by Allah's remembrance are the hearts set at rest.(13:28)
Here it doesn’t mean if a chant or just remember few names of Allah he will get cure or peace no Zikr Allah mean practicing the life style said by Our Prophets and Aimmah (a.s)
Really there is nothing bad and vulgar in this clip you send to me but it’s funny just vein has nothing.
You imagine one side Qur’an says this about Human being :


وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا

And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.

On the other hand a woman is measuring the size of nose to make us sleep. Just funny nothing else.

I’m not against science or Physics and biology and Psychology etc but some time like drug Mafia creates diseases to sell their medicines these people just innovate something to make their subscriber higher and higher and make money.
Still you can ask if you have any question

This video I sent is one example of ASMR. The whole idea is this concept states people may get a relaxed feeling by hearing certain sounds and so on.

For example, in this particular video, it's most likely the sound of her writing on a book, or the sound of the measuring tape. The idea of measuring the nose is a little silly to be honest.

There are many others, for example, they pretend to massage you, or they pretend to cut your hair

Its an interesting philosophy. I'm not a huge fan of it myself, I do for the most part find it a little funny, but I wondered, if it worked on someone, would it be haram for a male to watch a female video, if that was to help him sleep.

We can’t apply any therapy as long as it is not appropriate and approved by Doctor for that particular patient.

If I marry a second wife, do I have to inform the first one?

If a person wants to marry (temporary marriage) with Ahle Kitab (Jews or Christian) then he has to ask for permission from his Muslim wife otherwise if he wants to marry with another Muslim woman then there is no need for him to seek permission or inform his first wife.

Is it true that if I don't stay paak and stay najis like in junub, where I'm in need of making ghusl e janabat, for a long time purposely, then the bad jins might hurt me or slap me? Can this happen?

No this all myths but it’s Makrooh to stay remain for long hours in the state of Janabat and if Ghusl is not possible soon at least one should do Wudhu before eating and drinking.

Once the essential najasat is removed from the skin, then other objects will only become najis if the skin transfers smell color or taste of the essential najasat right?

It’s very clear if the essential Najasat has been removed but it is still has smell, it means it has not been removed totally because having smell means small particals are still there even we can’t se them by our naked eyes. But yes if color strains has not removed fully specially in case of blood when it spreads on clothes and we have washed it but still strains of blood are there it would be considered Pak ( Tahir), so smell and taste is different from the color.
I hope you have understood inshallah. For example if one has faeces spread out from his anal area and he has cleaned it with tissue paper, it can’t be considered Pak unless he cleans himself with water but if the original najasat was around the anus area it can be cleaned with tissue paper. Same rule we apply on other parts of body but sometime Najasat has very strong smell even if you was it with water still smell unless one has washed it with soap etc then it’s ok that smell will not be considered that the surface is still Najis.

I understood the answer but still question remains in my mind that for eg I have faeces on my finger and I clean it with tissue, then whatever wet place i touched with the finger, it will be najis? I am not sure if there was still any transfer of smell or taste.

Please note that we can’t not clean faeces with tissue paper or clothe etc otherwise that surface will always remain Najis and wherever you touch and if it was wet then that surface will also become Najis. Cleaning faeces with tissue paper or cloth or clay etc is allowed only and only after using toilet and restricted to anal area not even if it has been spread out in other areas. Therefore other than anal area we have to use water to make that area Pak ( according to shuriat) even wet tissue can’t make it Pak while it will make bigger area.

I wanted to know to complete the Amal for 15 Rajab do you have to keep a fast? Or can the Amal still be done without fasting?

All the Amaal and Fasting in these 2 months Rajab and Shaban are categorized as Mustahab act ( I mean recommended) so for if any any one wishes to fast any day out of these two months can do so and inshallah he/she will be rewarded. As far as performing an Amal is concerned, we have different amaal for different occasions but still no matter if somebody has missed out can perform any time. While it’s clear that we can’t compare the sawab of amaal done on that very day or night with if we perform it after passing the event. But as these amaal are Mustahab one can perform later on too and inshallah will get sawab. Allah(swt) knows better.

Is it permissible to wear the popular Turkish blue evil eye bead, or hang it up, if it’s with the intention of an adornment, not with the intention that this will protect you? Some say this would be Shirk, or at least imitate those who believe in such Shirk. Any Fatwa of any scholar you are aware of?

As long as such things have only ornamental value in a society, it is no harm to use them but using such things on the basis of faith or believing that this can solve one’s problem is not allowed. We are not allowed believe in any kind of superstitions.

Is it allowed to pray salaat in jammat with other people for a namaaz that has been qadha ie can we pray fajr in jammat at zuhr time and does it have the same reward as normal jamaat prayer?

You can’t pray your qadha fajr namaz with Jamat of Zohr namaz if you have not prayed Zohr already.
Yes if your Zohr is Qasr and you finished your 2 Rakat Qasr namaz with Zohr Jamat namaz then in 3rd Rakat of Zohr with Imam you can pray your 2 Rakats of Qadha of fajr namaz But from beginning you can’t start your fajr qadha namaz with Jamat of Zohr namaz.

Is buying dividend stocks jayez? A stock is like a very small part of the company and a dividend stock is like that but it pays a specific amount annually on the companies profit

It is allowed because you have owned the share of that company and also you are the legal partner of that company.

US me E 631 code use huva hai us khana kaisa hai? or Ayotallah sistani ke masle ke mutab kya ray hai?

The E number known as E631 (or sodium inosinate) is an additive that is used in many products to act as a flavour enhancer and make foods taste good. As well as enhancing other flavours, it’s used frequently in products such as potato crisps as it also helps to reduce the amount of salt needed (and reducing salt intake has become quite a big health concern in recent years, with manufacturers vying to get their levels of salt in products down).
Sodium inosinate comes from inosinic acid, an acid that is naturally found in a variety of animals, such as pigs or fish, such as sardines. In some cases it can also be produced from bacterially fermenting some sugars.
As far as commercial use goes, most manufacturers do source their E631 from animals and fish, whilst a few may use the fermentation method. The tricky bit is if you want to specifically avoid E631 that comes from pork, as most products will not say on their ingredients list exactly where it comes from.
You could try writing to manufacturers to ask exactly where it comes from. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get a definitive answer, but it’s always worth a try and, you never know, some might be receptive and willing to give you the facts. However, if it’s an issue that really concerns you and you don’t want to find yourself unknowingly consuming food with E631 sourced from pigs, probably the best move is to avoid the products completely.
It’s hard work sometimes trying to avoid these pesky E numbers, especially with so many hidden in the foods and drinks we enjoy, but if you really do need or want to avoid certain numbers, scouring the ingredients lists before you buy products is the best way of ensuring you’re not getting more than you bargained for.

I want to ask that, we can't eat food cooked by non-muslims? Please provide me detailed answer.

It’s not about Ahlul Kitab ( the people of the book) but about unbelievers:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِن شَاءَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise.(9:28)

So I can't eat food which is offered by my non muslim friends?

If you are sure that the food you have been offered is made by non believer and he touched it with his bare hands. Otherwise you can use it.

But what if my friend has made that food and if she insists to have it. What should I tell her?

This is issue of faith and islamic ruling we can’t compromise

Please batae kya haiz ki halat me hath me Mehdi laga sakte h?

Is the story of Yajooj Majooj real? If yes, then what is the story of Yajooj Majooj?

Yes Yajooj and Majooj’s story is true please read this article:

https://www.al-islam.org/hayat-al-qulub-vol-1-allamah-muhammad-baqir-al-majlisi/account-dhul-qarnayn

A sister's husband has been unemployed for some times now. They are struggling a lot. His wife mostly needs to take the responsibility to pay rent and etc. She is very devastated. Can you please tell any Ama’al or supplication which I can tell to his wife?

Once a man came to our 6th Imam and said that he became bankrupt what should he has to do Imam (a.s) replied offer your Namaz on time you will see inshallah your problem will be solved.

You know during niyaaz, there are some food and sometimes drinks which are used. Here is the dilemma: Suppose if someone does niyaz on a jucie or milk but the milk or juice is in a packet and after they have done the niyaz they drink it and throw away that packet in dustbin. Should one do that?

There is no matter if someone is doing so because your Niyyat for Nazr was that food and drink not it’s packet and box etc

Oh I was thinking because the pure name and surahs where blown on? What about banana peels?

Even if it’s banana peels because it’s common sense that it’s not eatable. Nazr is not like something which can spread or surrounds anything otherwise if this will be the case then what would be the rule for a place and thing over there we do Nazr let’s say plates or table and pot etc

How should ones Akhlaq be? Specially according to Ahlulbayt?

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ

And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality.(al Qalam:4)
They are the only role model for us.

1) Is curse real?
2) what about lucks? Like bad-luck and good luck
3) Will intercession of Imams happen in Alameh Barzakh or in the day of judgement?

1) What meaning we meant by Curse is different what Islam says. Curse is Dua ( supplication) but for against the person and not in his/her favor. So curse means May Allah keep away him from His Mercy. Therefore if he deserves for this curse Allah will listen from those who is the oppressed one.

2) Yes there is Luck but again I want say not in that meaning which commonly people use in their talking. Allah has set for everybody 2 destinies one is final and without having any change. But the other one can be changed by everyone with his/ her own efforts and struggle. So if anyone does any positive thing he will be a fortunate person but those who are lazy will be unfortunate. Now you can say it good or bad luck but actually luck is not good or bad it’s our own actions and efforts and work is good or bad which make our destiny good or Bad.

3) 6th Imam hazar Imam Sadiq (a.s) has said Beware about you amal because our intercession would not be in Barzakh so yes there will not be shifa’at in Burzakh but yes it would be on the Day of Qiyamat with condition. Not for everyone who says I’m follower of Aimmah.

Can a Seyeda marry a Non Seyed?

Yes of course you marry with non Syed.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.(Hujraat:13)

Can one pray with ‘Henna on ones nail’? Is wudhu still valid?

Yes you can pray Namaz with Henna on your nails.

What is interest and why is it Haram?

In business after selling a commodity if you earn (to receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services rendered) some more money is called profit and it is valid and allowed in Islam. But if someone has lent money to someone else with this condition that when ever he will return it he has to give him more than the capital money what he has received. Now this happens some times people fixed extra money payable monthly of six monthly or at the time of returning that money this we call profit (Reba) and it is not allowed and haram to take such money.

Which Ayats were revealed for the Ahlulbayt (s)? And when?

‎إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا
Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.(33:33)

فَمَنْ حَاجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ(ال عمران :۶۱)

‏But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.

‎إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

Only Allah is your Vali and His Apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.(5:55)

‎وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

And they give food out of love for Him to the poor and the orphan and the captive: ( Al Insan)

And many more Ayah in the holy Quran praising Ahlul bait (a.s)

I want to know that is it allowed for a bride and groom to meet and understand each other before getting married (without nikaah), without any bad intentions, just to know each other before getting married

Yes they can talk face to face if they have intended to get married but as you said with in the Islamic rulings I mean they can’t flirt and they have to treat each other as a non mahram

Maulana, I am having a discussion with some of my cousins regarding Quran and Shia creed. They are all Sunnis (Salafi). Their question is most of the sunni muslims follow the recitation of hafs narrated by Asim. The chain of narrators of the Quran are authenticated in Sunni books. But they could not found any proper authentication of these narrators in shia sources. Some sources, for example- in Mu'jam Rijal al-Hadith, Rijal al-Kashshi, Ayan al-Shia they are mentioned but not praised as truthful, trustworthy or good memory. As far as I know Hafs learned the quran recitation from Asim and Asim learned from Abdur Rahman al-Sulami who learned from Imam Ali (as) and they were all Shia narrators. But they are refuting the claim and saying that Shias have taken quran from Sunnis. My questions-

1. We all know the Quran that is in our hand is in perfect form which was revealed to the Prophet (sa). But what is the proof that it is in perfect form? How do Shias authenticate this?

2. Is there any different chain of narration of the Quran for Shias different than Sunnis?

3. Shias also follow the hafs qirat and this is the most pure qirat. But how do I prove to my brothers that the narrators were Shias? Is there any specific valid reference?

This is a recent propaganda that Wahhabis are flagging against Shias. There is no Sunni chain of narration which lists all the transmitters followed by whole Qur’an as is now. If the say they have the chain of narration of Qur’an that should look like Bukhari and Muslim’s Ahadith which follow the actual words of Hadith at the end.
If they have any Riwayat of that kind ask them to produce.
In fact I asked that Salafi to forward me any Sunni chain of narration for Qur’an itself (not the Qirat) and he was dumbfounded.
Qur’an’s authenticity is beyond these nonsense arguments.
Chain of narration Is required for the traditions not for Koran. Quran is Mutawwatir, and Mutawaatir doesn’t require any specific kind of narration.
Furthermore we have our holy imams ,the successors of prophet Muhammad (saww)who continued to exist all the way from the demise of the messenger of Allah in 11 AH all the way till 260 AH, who always recited this Koran referred to this Koran and asked all the people to read write memorize the Quran as is now. This is the greatest authenticity and validity of the Quran for both Sunni and Shia Muslims.

Mere payr me phoda hai aur uss par patti bandhi hai. Jab usse saaf karna hota hai to me khoon daba kar nikal deta hu aur kise kapde se poch leta hu.

To kya usse kapde se pochne par wo pak ho jeyega ya pani se pak karna zaruri hoga

Agar paani ka koi nuqsan nahin hai to theek hai warna paani se saf karne ki zaroorat nahin hai. Jo hissa zakhmi hai use patti se bandh kar baqi ke ass pass ke hisse ko dhul lijia bas kafi hai.

Mene kuch din pehle ek news padhi aur video bhi dekha tha ki overseas mai ek sheher hai jahan ke logone 100 dolphins qatl kar diya sirf religion ke naam par aur phir mujhe laga ki hum bhi toh yahi karte hain. Goats ko kaat dete hain woh bhi masoom hi hai, bezubaan kuch jaanwaron ka thik hai magar yeh toh bohat saare hote hain na. Aap isse mujhe samjhaiye aur bataiye ki bakra-eid mai zibha karna wajib h ya mai woh paisa donate kar sakta hu?

In Islam there are are only few animals who’s meat is halal. And if you see these all animals are grass eaters it means they are directly related to the nature but those group of animals who eat other animals are not in the list of halal animals. It shows that Islam wants to maintain the gap ie no doubt for us human eating vegetables is more suitable and beneficial than meat but even if it has allowed to eat meat only those animals and birds are allowed they consume direct from the nature.
Now if we talk about why we eat meat and why do we slaughter innocent animals, long story short, Allah is our creator and He knows better that why he has created all these animals and what is their exact use. But as today’s biology says about the food chain it means their one of the important use is that they has to consumed by another group of the food chain.
What you said about Dolphins, Islam doesn’t allow to eat those animals either if their generation goes very slow or if they are beasts or their meat is not suitable for human body.
About Qurbani if you are still in this 21 century their are millions of people who do not have food to eat so if we use Qurbani animals in a proper way we can feed millions. Also giving Qurbani brings many blessings that you can find in many traditions of Holy Prophet (s) and Aimmah (a.s).
But Qurbani is only wajib for those who is performing wajib Hajj, other than that it’s Mustahab. But if you want to give money instead doing Qurbani you will get sawab but not equal to the Qurbani. You can feed poor with the same meat.
And don’t think slaughtering halal animal is not good. It’s just rumour otherwise those who say this they kill thousands innocent human daily (specially western regime and people) and consume mostly meat as their food but they only raise their voice for dogs and pets.
In Hindu religion it was not always that they were not eating meat no they were and even today 60% of them they eat meat.
But Islam says don’t kill an ant without reason but as for as food concern yes Allah has created these few halal animals to be consumed by Human.

Agar koi cloth p khoon laga ho or use wash kr liya jae but us blood ka colour nhi gya cloth se toh kya vo cloth paak hai?

Since becoming Shia I have had a bit of difficulty eating zabihah meat. I am college student, and my parents do not eat zabihah so our meals are not made of zabihah food. I try to avoid eating the meat as much as I can, but I do not want to displease my parents by not eating with them. How should I deal with such a matter as eating zabihah is something which we must do?

It’s matter of Halal and Haram so you can’t compromise but you have to sort it out anyway. If the meat is not from an islamically slaughtered animal you can’t eat it, it’s haram. But you have many choice to replace your non vegetarian food with vegetarian. Also are your parents are not aware that you have accepted Islam?

I was a Muslim and I became Shia. I want to be respectful to my parents but practicing in the way of the Ahlulbayt is important

Yes true,Islam tells that we should obey our parents in any situation. Even if they are not Muslim except in those issues which are related to Islamic Shariya.

My question is should we view the tragedy of Karbala moreso as a praise of the Ahlul Bayt or should we view it in terms of its broader messages (such as justice and imaan and oppression) without so much focus on the Ahlul Bayt? My understanding of Karbala was not with a focus on the ahlul bayt, but of the universal ideas of divine justice and truth. Also how much should we use the wasila of the Ahlul Bayt in dua?

As far as the tragedy of Karbala is concerned, this is the fact that the sacrifices of Imam Husain (a.s) and his family member and his companions was beyond the the imagination and this proves that Imam Husain (a.s) was divine leader and Ahlulbayt of Hy Prophet (saww), so knowing about karbala not only strengthen ones faith in Ahlulbayt but it is also important to understand true successor of Holy Prophet (saww).
As you asked about Wasila, Quran says:


يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful.(5:35)
Therefore ofcourse we can make them Wasila in our Duas as they are closer to Allah(swt) other than any individual.

When making a mistake in a wajib prayer, and having to repeat it ( action may have invalidated prayer), does my niyyah have to be wajib qurbatan
Or just “Qurbatan IlAllah”?
(For the repeated prayer)

In all cases there is no need to repeat the namaz rather you can correct it. But if anyone wants to repeat his/her namaz once again then Niyyat will be wajib Qurbatan ilallah .
Also please check this link for the detailed rules regarding repeating or correction once salat.

What is the last time till we can perform our fajr prayers before it becomes qaza. If sunrise time is 6:50 and we perform fajr namaz 6:30 is it valid?

Normally from namaz e fajr till sun rise there is 1h15 minutes so if you pray before 15 minutes then it’s ok.

What is the ruling of Shia (saadat) to marry a Bohri cast? Is it allowed? I could not find any ruling under Agha Sistani.

As long as Marriage with Muslims concern there is no problem to marry either with a Sunni or Bohra or Zaidiya sects of Islam because they all are Muslims but the most important thing we should keep in our mind that marriage will not only join husband and wife but it connect two families and their culture too. Therefore if there is no issue of culture and your future children (because if the girl wants to remain in Bohra sect then it would most surely affect one’s children’s faith and ideology ) then you can do this.

I am newly married and my husband and I take part in intimate activities almost every day and I know that Ghusl e janabat is wajib with washing hair and body. However due to my hair being long and very thick, I find it very difficult to wash it everyday as well as it being tied up under hijab all day and because of this I sometimes get into arguments with my husband to not be intimate as I am not able to wash my hair afterwards and do not want to have to miss prayers. Is there any way of avoiding washing my hair while doing Ghusl e janabat or is there a simplified method of doing Ghusl e janabat?

This is the rulings of Ayatullah Sistani (May Allah protect him)

Ruling 378. In ghusl, short hair that is considered part of the body must be washed. It is not obligatory to wash long hair. In fact, if one makes water reach the skin in a way that the hair does not become wet, the ghusl is valid. However, if it is not possible for water to reach the skin without the hair becoming wet, then one must wash the hair in a way that water reaches the body.

If a woman, na mahram to me, suffers from sudden cardiac arrest, can I give CPR to her to save her life?

Yes you can do CPR as an emergency treatment to save her life.

I was again asked that; if Allah is every where then why only do prostration towards one direction i.e., Qaaba?

I would like to say only one reason why do we face Qibla( only one direction) during namaz.
One of the very important benefit of Salat amongst all spiritual and physical benefits is Namaz teaches us discipline and unity too. Now you imagine if all Muslims they offer their namaz in whatever direction they wish then how it will look. But when we have one direction then at least all Muslims from all around the world have same feelings and way as each and every Muslim has. Otherwise if it wasn’t there we would have different Namaz in different part of the world but since we have one direction Islam is one either it’s in America or in Asia or in Africa and Europe.

Please explain why do prostration in front of Qaaba, not baitul muqaddas

Please read this short article:

https://www.al-islam.org/the-message-ayatullah-jafar-subhani/chapter-29-change-qiblah

Agha how do I convince my non Muslim friend that we don't worship Qaaba by prostrating in front of it. He argued that he as Hindu don't worship the statue but he symbolises it as his god, in his heart its not worshiping the statue but the ultimate God just like we do prostration towards Qaaba.

Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) when we say we believe God is one it means even, we cannot imagine His Holy Being in our mind so the concept of God in Islam means that we believe He (Allah) has no body therefore if we do prostration it doesn’t mean in front of Him but why we do protection towards Holy Ka’ba just as He commanded us to do so otherwise before that Muslims were doing prostration towards Batul Maqdas (Jerusalem). Therefore when we do prostration we don’t imagine Holy Ka’ba too in mind but what Hindu people they do, they imagine one of their God or Goddess in form of idol while Islam totally condemn this act of worship. So there is a big difference between their worshiping and what we Muslims do.

What happens when Allah is unhappy with a particular community? And how do we know that the suffering of that community is due to Allah's unhappiness or not?

Having problem either on community level or individual doesn’t mean this is because of Allah’s wrath but it might be a kind of imtehan or test so they must be regret and ask Allah to help them.

Kia hum leather ki jacket ya belt phain sakte hai or phenne ke baad agar hamara hath gila us jacket ya belt par lag jaye to wo palak hai ya napaak hai?

Agar aapko yaqeen hai ke jo jacket ya belt aap pahen rahe hain halal gosht animal ki skin se bana hai tab to aap use pahen sakte hain aur touch bhi kar sakte hain.
Magar agar halal gosht animal ki skin se to bana hai magar is animal ko Islamiclly zibh ( slaughter) nahin kiya gaya hai to pahen to sakte hain magar namazmain nahin pahen sakte aur wet hands se touch bhi nahin kar sakte .

Agar aapko maloom hai na to yeh Halal gosht janwar ki skin se bani nahin hai to normal time main to pahen sakte hain magar namaz main nahin pahen sakte na hi use wet hands se touch karna hai.
Agar aapne leather ka koi product kisi muslims se liya hai ya Muslim market se liya hai ya Muslim country se liya hai aur yeh sources reliable hain to uske Namaz main bhi pahen sakte hain.

Fasik or fajir insan kon hota hai. Please alag alag matlab batayea

Fasiq is a person who commits sins openly and don’t obey the commands of Allah (swt).
Fajir means a person who careless and also doesn’t have faith that why in Qur’an Kafir and Fajir have mentioned together.


أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ

These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.(80:42)

Kia hum in ayyam mey Sayed us shoda ko alvida Nahi khe sakte. Kia aisa karna unki toheen hai

Nahin aisa nahin hai. In cheezon ko lekar log bekar ka mudda bana rahe hain. Aap bhi jante hain ke Alvida kahne se apka kia maqsad hai. Zahir hai yeh to koi nahin kahega main bas ayyame aza khatm hue to hamara rishta Imam Hussain (a.s) se khatm ho gaya. Lehaza log yeh jumla is niyat se kahte hain ke zahir hai ab woh attachment majalis se nahin rahega jo 2 months aur 8 days main tha.
Lehaza aisa kuch bhi nahin hai eh masail bahot mamooli hain. Hamen apni Qaum ko isse uper le jana hai in choti choti cheezon main nahin u lakh are chahiye.

Kia Islam mey taweez wagera karana sahi kam ke liyea jayez hai ya nahi?

Agar yeh kaam dua aur azkar ki hadd tak hai to theek hai magar ise profession nahin banna chahiye. Quran main bahot si ayaat dua hain ya Aimma (a.s) ki Munajaat aur dua ko logon ke liye betaur Shifa taweez ki shakl main diya ja sakta hai.

Agar koi relation mey kisi galat ladki ke relation mey pad gaya ho or unke maa ne taveez ya kuch padwane banane ko kaha ho kiyou ki ladki ka character theek nahi hai

Yh kam taveez ke alawa dosre tariqe se kiya ja sakta hai. Yeh issue Akhlaqi hai, ismain larke ko eh samajhna ya samjha na hoga ke kal ko wahi larki uske bachchon ki maan banegi. Aur fir medical science bhi kahti hai ke bachche main Nana aur Nanihal ke character ziyada aaye hain. Isi liye Rasool (saww) ki hadis hai ke
Aapne farmaya:


قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه و آله ) خَطِيباً فَقَالَ: "أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَ خَضْرَاءَ الدِّمَنِ".
قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَ مَا خَضْرَاءُ الدِّمَنِ؟
قَالَ: "الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَسْنَاءُ فِي مَنْبِتِ السَّوْءِ" 1 .

“ Ghoore ki sabzi se bacho... kisi ne poocha ya Rasoolallah Ghoore ki sabzi se kia matlab??
Aap (saww) me farmaya woh larki jo khoob soorat to hai magar uska character achcha nahin ho ( khoob Seerat na ho) usse shadi Mat karo.
Lehaza aise kamon main thora Logic se kam liya jaye. Waise agar Allah se 14 Masoomin ke tawassul se dua mangi jaye ke is larke ko yeh baat samajh main aa jaye to bhi koi bura nahin hai aur achcha hi hai.

Taveez ka sahara nahi le?

Maine arz kiya ke Quran ki ayat jo dua ki shakl main hai ya Aimmah (a.s) ki duas ko ham istemal kar sakte hain chahe usko parhen ya bandhen but important yeh hai ke hamen usmain yaqeen ho aur usko amal main layen sirf zaban ki hadd tak na ho.

Kia hum aisi jaghe par janamaz bicha kar namaz pad sakte hai log jute lekqr farsh par chalte ho

Ji bicha sakte hain.

Is raw meat haram?

Some scholars said that it is disliked to eat raw meat, but the correct view is that it is permissible, on the basis of the principle that all things are permitted except those which have been expressly forbidden. There is no evidence to suggest that this is forbidden, but it is allowed on the condition that no harm is caused to the person who eats it – in which case it would not be allowed, because everything that causes harm is haraam, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and do not throw yourselves into destruction…” [al-Baqarah 2:195].

Paying money in percentage of order value or onetime to consultants so that he recommends our product to user or contractor is bribe or commision? If this is a commission is it jayez?

Yes it would be a kind of bribe. So it’s not legal.

Is buying a expensive super bike will be considered as israaf?

If it’s not for show off then there is no issue.

I want to know that if in a joint family, where they live with each other, and if any of the person in that family becomes ill badly from so many years, so what will be the responsibily of the whole family who are living with each other?
Kya wo responsibility us beemar ki teemardari ki pure ghar ki hogi ya sirf us bimar k sage rishte daro ki hi hogi? Kyuki bimari ko ek arsa ho chuka h us bimar k khud k sage rishte use chor kar dusre shehro me chale gae ho, or har family k apne apne bhi kuch faraiz hote h. Please is bat ko wazeh kr diye iska jawab

Unfortunately day by day we are having same western culture and going far away from our own people. As you said no doubt it is first responsibility of his own family members to take care of him but if they are not taking care of him then it’s upon other relatives to look after him. One thing we should keep in our mind that when people are strong and young and giving their services to the society but when they become old not it’s every bodies responsibility to take care of him as he has done his job when he was able. Any way it has very big reward if anyone is taking care of such person in society.

I have few questions:

1. Does a woman need to sit while having bath or especially when she is taking gusl

2. Can a woman take bath on even days of hayz i.e. 4th or 6th day is there any harm doing so

3. I heard that ladies should sit and give niyaz or fateha as only mens can stand and give fateha or nazr

I need to know the answer as we are practicing this since our childhood and now after marriage my husband says aisa kuch hard n fast rule nahi hai toa kya jo hamare bade buzurgon ne bataya wo sab galat hai. Abtak ham jo baith ke gusl utar rahe the wo galat tareeka tha? Please clarify.

1) Aisa koi Qanoon nahin hai it depends on person’s own
2) Hayz main blood stoping se pahle as hygienic point of view se woman chahe to bath kar sakti hai magar yeh sahi hai ke agar mumkin ho to bathing se avoid kiya jaye.
3) Aisa koi rule nahin hai. Nazr ke waqt apne ghar main maharim ke sath kurat khari bhi ho sakti hai aur nazr ko aurat ki jagah mard bhi rakh sakta hai.
Koi zaroori nahin jo kaam buzurgan karte chale aa rahe hain woh sahi hi ho.

Is it gunah to copy someone's website code without his permission, change it and upload as mine?

If it has mentioned that copying or publishing is not permitted then one should have taken permission to have any changes in his/her material.

Please can you tell me if non syed should stand in respect for syed. Is there any hadith or ruling on this matter?

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.(Hujraat:13)

Indeed Allah knows what is best for us, but can you direct me some duas or amaal, for financial problem, my studies and for my marriage too?
If possible?

Please recite Ziyarat Aashura for 40 days. If possible recite under open sky followed by Dua Alqama then 2 rak’at namaz of Ziyarat and ask your hajat. Please fix one particular time every day you recite all these at same. Inshallah your Hajaat will be fulfilled.

Is it possible for you to make an istikara for me in terms of my future?
I'm so worried about my future, I really want to become something, but due to some financial issues I couldn't study much, my dad died two years back, and I'm the only one who's earning at my home. Please let me know about what is coming up for me and my family. If you can provide me some Amaals, I can do that too.
I need a help for something else too, I like a guy, and he's a great Azadar of Imam Hussain؏, I never talked to him, he don't know me, but I want to marry him, but I don't know how to approach him and tell him about myself, and how can I marry him.

The main purpose of Istekhara is when a person is confused between two parallel options otherwise what will happen in near future other that Allah (swt) no body knows. Even it’s a great blessings of Allah that we don’t know about our future. Only recommended thing is that we should rely on Allah and leave our affairs on Him. Our duty in this life and in this duniya is to struggle. As for as your marriage concern take advise from your elders and after having satisfactory information about whom you want to marry you may proceed. But don’t do anything just emotionally.

Does masturbation cause any negative health effects?

Yes for sure it cause many physical and psychological diseases. Medical science has approved it you may refer to many internet sites where it has mentioned that what are the bad impacts of masturbation.

I have travelled from Muscat to Riyadh for a total of 13 days at 2 points. Point A is on the outer side of Riyadh. Point B is in Riyadh City. I have stayed at point A for 8 days and point B for 5 days

Both points are atleast 90 kms away from each other

So will my namaz be Qasr for the entire trip for 13 days?

Yes you have offer Qasr Namaz because your stay is in two different places for less than 10 days.

I wanted to ask about the narrations related to maqtal. My question is ulemas refer to discussion between Imam Hussain a.s and shohade karbala. I wanted to know how has these narration recorded and transfered considering during all of these conversations only members of yazeed army had access to Imams noble words. Why would they preserve and transfer Imam's words.

It’s true that many authentic rewayat regarding the sayings and martyrdom of Imam Husai (a.s) from Yadiz’s army but many narration have been reported by the family of Imam Husain and 4th Imam also. But you can say it’s a Allah (swt) wisdom. He preserves by enemies also and it’s not only in the case of Karbala but all prophets history has been reported by their own enemies too.

Swimming pool ke Paani me k jisme Chlorine mila hota hai, kya woh mutlaq me shumaar hoga ya muzaaf me.

Jitna chlorine normally swimming pool main milaya jata hai ke Insan feel kare aur disease se bach sake agar utna hai to mutlaq ke hukm main hoga. Magar agar itna chlorine mila hai ke usmain swimming karna possible hi nahin hai aur pani ka taste bilkul change ho chuka hai to woh muzaaf ho jayega. Waise normally jo swimming pool main chlorine mili hoti hai usse pani muzaaf nahin hota.

May I know the complete meaning and tafseer of Ayatullah al Uzma?

Ayatullah mean signs of Allah and Uzma mean great.

May I also know the book reference so that I could follow.
We the human is also a sign of Allah because we are ashraful maqluqath created by Allah. And in humans we the Shia and momin are the best. So can every momin call each other Ayatullah Al uzma? Or is it only for those who are Islamic scholars? If yes may I please know the book reference?

These all discussion are based on linguistic field for finding the meanings of Ayat or Ayat al Uzma no need to refer any hadith, just you refer any Arabic dictionary you can find the meaning.
Now as far as the word Ayatullah al Uzma is concerned. There are many people they have been brain washed by some mischief mongers that why should we call our Marja as “ Ayatullah al Uzma”. If it’s meaning is “Signs of Allah” therefore all the creature and creation of Allah are the signs of Allah but why don’t we call all of them “Ayatullah”. Answer is no problem you can call but if this question is because why we have to call them only? Then I would say One should first know about the merits of an Marja then he will understand well why we are calling them Ayatullah Al Uzma.

I'm always stressed and confused and end up being depressed in trying to manage deen with dunya. Problem is I'm a doctor in India and there is too much stress and competition here for specialisation exams etc. Bahot se waqt mujhe aisa lagta hai bas main yeh exams ke liye hi zinda hoon. Deen ke lite time nahi nikalta. Main kaise waqt ke imam ki qidmat kar sakta hoon. Samajh nai aata ki mera intention yeh hai ki main qaum ki khidmat kar saku specialist ban kar atleast but balance nahi milta. Sukoon nahi hai. Depression stress hai. Namaze choot jati hai. Kya karen please aap bataye?

Unfortunately we have wrong interpretation regarding Deen. It doesn’t meant that if a person is always busy with few rituals I mean with Namaz and Roza etc then only he has been called a religious person otherwise no . If you see the life of our Aimmah (a.s) you will find that how many affairs they had in their life example they had biggest responsibilities to propagate true religion amongst people at the time of worst Rulers of Banu Umaiyyah and Banu Abaas but they the same time they had to feed many poor families to and also they were working in their own farms in order to collect halal money but despite all these they were the most obedient and devote to Allah (swt).
As you said that you are a Doctor very nice you have one of best profession to serve your fellow brothers in Islam and Humanity too. So I can say you are currently doing Ebadat of Allah too by having your profession and even if you will get your specialisation in terms of MD or MS then it would more easy for you to serve but only think you keep in your mind that whatever you are doing just for the sake of Allah (swt) therefore if you can manage only to achieve your Wajibat only that would be sufficient. Mera matlab sir aapki zimmedari hai ke Wajebat ko tark na kare.
Insan baher hal Allah se rabeta rakhne le liye mohtaj hai aur jaisa ke maine arz kiya aapki studies app ka preparation sab kuch ebadat hi hai magar Namaz ek aisi ebadat hai jisse Insan apne Mabood se direct ham kalam hota hai is liye namaz kisi hal main mat chorhiye. Aur Quran main Allah ne farmaya hai ke Namaz aur Sabr ke zariye apne affairs main madad hasil karo. Is liye believe me if you continue your namaz everything will be settled inshallah. And don’t get stress for anything in this world. One day every thing will be either achieved or lost it depends if it’s in our destiny then no one can stop it to be achieved the only duty we human have in this material world is to Try. Quran says: “There is nothing for Human being but to try” so our duty is to try and don’t worry about result it’s in the hands of Allah but if we have tried will receive reward for our efforts even if we are failed in this Duniya. Is liye aap bilkul tension must len. Agar aap thora sa bhi waqt nikal kar namaz parhte hai aur koi aisa kam nahin karte jo shariat main haram hai to aap jan len aap Imam e Zamana ke sacha sipahi air followers hain. Agar aap Moharram main waqt ki kami ki wajah se majalis main nahin ka sakte koi baat nahin aap kahin tanhayee main 3-4 minutes baith kar Imam Husain (a.s) yaad karke giriya kar lete hain inshallah Imam Husain aapki madad zaroor karenge.

I'm unmarried. I want to marry a Shia Muallimah & want to settled internationally, but it's challenging to me- what should I do about it? and may I expect any help? Mostly financial issue, and no support from anywhere.

Follow this Ayah inshallah Allah will fulfil your Hajaat.
But you must have firm believe in Allah (swt).
وَأَنكِحُوا الْأَيَامَىٰ مِنكُمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ إِن يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves; if they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.(24:32)

If it’s in your favour Allah (swt) will open all His blessing upon you.

Mene sadqy k paise nikal k rakhy rahy niyat kar k me yeh dungi apna sadqa par woh galti me kisi ny kharch k liye mang liye aur me mana nahi kr saki. Ismy kuch galti to nai hua na? Koi nuqsan hoga kya?

Agar sadqa qarz ke unwanted se diya hai to bhi theek nahin hai usko mustaheq ko hi de sakte hain aur agar jinko diya hai madad ke unending se aur woh sadaat hain to sadqa sadaat per haram hai. Aur jo sadqa aapne nikal diya woh ab aapki milkiyat nahin hai lehaza munasib nahin hai use kharj kiyajaye.
Baher hal aap woh raqam nikal kar kisi mustahaq tak pahoncha den.

Ziyarat e ashura subsy pehly kisny parhi thi. Matlab kisny introduce karwai hy?

Kitab Kamil AZ Ziyarat main 2 waste, Alqama ibne Muhammad Hazrami aur Malik ibne Ayun Jahni se rewayat hai ke yeh Ziyarat 5th Imam, Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s) se hai aur Ayatullah Khuyee (r.a) aur Ayatullah Khumeini (r.a) ne is Ziyarat ko parhne ki takeed ki hai aur khud bhi bahot ziyada parhte they.

Koi wazifa bataein karbala jane k liey

Jis din dil main tarap aur shadid khwahish paida ho jayegi inshallah Imam asbab muhaiyya kar denge. But recite 40 morning Ziyarat a Aashura without gap inshalalh aapki hajat poori ho jayegi.

Ghaibat k daur me ek khatoon ki kya kya zimmedaariya hai?

Khatoon ka society main Bahot ahem qirdar hai khas taur se aaj ke mahaul main jahan sabse ziyada attack iffat aur haya per ho raha hai. Lehaza Aurat behtareen zariye hai bachcho ki tarbiyat ke liye aur agar yeh zimmedari aur behtar tariqe se anjaam di ja sakti hai agar niyyat yeh ho ke yeh hamara bachcha ya bachchi zamane ke imam ki nusrat ke liye amada ho raha hai. Lehaza aurat chahe to muhibbe Imam bana de aur chahe to dushmane Imam.

I want to ask about how can I manage to control myself from evil things like masturbate or many others? Although I perform prayers Namaz e Shab as well

If possible do marriage and don’t listen to anybody that you can’t manage your family life and this and that. But if not possible do not be alone, don’t open any possible sites where there are vulgar photos. Ask Allah with sincerity inshallah He will Help you.

Why we bow down whenever we hear Imam Zamana (atf) name?

We bow down whenever we listen our 12th Imam’s name because he is alive and present so we give him respect as we are in front of him otherwise we give same respect to our all Masoomin but because is the Master of our age he deserves to have such respect.

As you say that we are respecting because he is alive. Are other masoomen not alive according to islam because we are regularly sending salam to every masoomen and salam is for those people who are living? Other thing that we are giving such respect because he is our times imam, then why this things cant be found in the past except 12th Imam. I dont remember such activity for other masoomen at their time. So my humble request to explain it please. I am not satisfied from your answer so please explain .

Yes it’s true that other Aimmah who are not physically prevalent amongst us but have this authority from Allah (swt) to help anyone who asks help from them but their presence and the presence of 12th Imam is different. Our Imam of time is our Living Imam and we have much more responsibilities for him one of them to give him respect as if he is in front of us.

is there any importance of wudhu water, or its like other normal water?
Does wudhu water decreases over-anger(gussa) ?

Itself wudhu water has no importance but what is important is that Wudhu and Holy Prophet (saww) has said if a person is angry he should do wudhu so far his anger will go away.

If a women wash her hair and want to do namaz.
Does she has to wait that her head become dry?
Or its ok if its wet she can still do massa of head

Only the place of Massah must be dried.

Is it permissible to eat rice in a chinese or non muslim restaurant for example?
Because we dont know how they cook the rice
Sometimes some people wash the rice before cooking
And some people dont do that
Thus we dont if they touched with their wet hands or no

If you are sure that it was not touched by non Muslim then you can eat.

Actually I struggle a lot with makhraj in namaz
Thus I want to learn the as soon as possible
But the lecturer that I found is a male.
Is it haram for me to learn with him?

As you asked about learning Quran from a male teacher if you have covered yourself I mean you are having proper hijab then it’s ok. You can learn it’s not haram.

I live in a sunni country, thus the food is halal everywhere.
But there are many indian and chinese people who works in the restaurant:
1) If I can see the kitchen, and I saw that the cooks dont wear gloves.
-And I dont know if its a hindu people or a pakistani
-Or if I see the chinese , I dont know if he is christian or not.

Do I have the right to eat?
Its still halal but its preferable to dont eat there right?

2) The second situation, is sometimes workers are chinese or indian or bangladesh, but I cant see the kitchen. I still have the right to eat there ?

A Muslim is allowed to eat any food made by a person whose faith and religion is not known to him, no matter whether that person touched it with wetness or did not touch it, provided that he does not know or is not sure that the food consists of what is forbidden to him.
It is permissible to eat the food (non-meat, e.g. pasta, salad, cake) and it is not necessary for the Muslim to question the person who prepared the food about his beliefs or disbeliefs, or whether or not he had touched the food, even if that inquiry is very convenient and natural for one who wants to ask.

But if anyone is 100% sure about the religion of the cook and if he/she is kafir then can’t eat food from them.

If during prayer , someone swallows remnants of food that are left between food , without feeling any taste, make salat baatil?

If he/she does it intentionally then yes otherwise if it was done unintentionally then namaz is valid.

Is there any hadith which it's more sawab to pray in juma/jama masjid than normal masjid

Yes our Namaz gets more value and sawab it has been offered in Makka then Madina then Masjid al Aqsa or Masjid Al Kufa then Masjid al Jame then normal Masajid.

Please recite this Dua after your daily prayers:

(( اللهم انى اسا لک یا الله یا واحد یا احد یا فرد یا وتر یا صمد (یا) من ملات ارکانه السموات ئ الارض اسالک ان تسخر قلب فلان ابن فلانة کما سخرت الحیة لموسى علیه السلام و اسالک ان تسخر قلب ابن فلان کما سخرت لسلیمان جنوده من الجن و الانس و الطیر و الوحش و هم یوزعون (و) اءسئلک ان تلین قلب فلان کما لینات الحدید لداود علیه السلام ، اءسئلک اءن تذلل قلبه کما ذللت نور القمر لنور الشمس یا الله هو عبدک ابن اءمتک . اءنا عبدک ابن اءمتک خذلى بقدمیه و من ناصیته فسخره لى حتى تقضى حاجتى بهذا و ما ارید انک على کل شى ء قدیر ((ان الذین امنوا و عملوا الصالحات سیجعل لهم الرحمن ودا))

Court k thorough jo talaq hoti hy kya wo hamri fiqa main jaz hy? Hamari fiqa k matbeeq agr court say mard day tu b ho jati hy

Talaq ka Sigha jari karna zaroori hai woh bhi 2 aadil gawah ki presence main.

اگر مرد طلاق دے اور عورت نہ لینا چاہے اس میں ہمارا مذہب کیا کہتا ہے ؟
کیا عورت طلاق نہ وصول کرے تو بھی طلاق ہو جاتی ہے ؟

Ji Islam main Talaq ka haqq Mard ko hai aur Nikah ke waqt Husband to accept karan Aurat ka haqq hai is liye agar Aurat chahe ya na chahe agar husband be sharyee talaq de di to talaq ho jayegi.

Agar koi Zakir e Ahkebait ya nauhakhwan majalis ya matam ke liye ek fix hadiya nakki karke hi ata hai to kya aise duniya parast zakir ya nauhakhwan ko sunna chahiye ?

Azadari Imam Husain (a.s) ko rasm aur rewaj se hat kar barpa karna chahiye aur aaj azadari e Imam Husain (a.s) ko rasmon main badalne main aise zakerin aur khotaba ka bada kirdar hai. Lehaz aise har fard ki mukhalefat hona chaiye jo azaye Husain ko tijarat banata ho. Jahan tak Fiqhi mas’ala hai marajey karam ne majlis ka hadiya lene main koi ishkaal nahin bataya hai. Magar akhlaqan eh achchi baat nahin hai ke zakir pahle se tay kare aur fir apni pasandida raqam milne per hi majlis parhe. Aise log kiya message denge ek insan khud mahsoos kar sakta hai.

Are women considered Nakis ul Aql?

In Islam men and woman have same degree regarding their deeds and acts in this world.But as we know there are few differences between men and women in their physical appearance. Same way they also differ in their emotions and feelings too for example women are naturally more sensitive and emotional than any men. This difference some how considered as if a women wants to take a decision then she will not be more firm and rigid in her decision than a man ( I’m not talking about exceptions what I say is in general) therefore it has said some how in few places as women they have less Aql (intellect ) than man but it doesn’t mean their brain capacity or understanding power is less than a men.

Like wudhu, does tayammum also become void if we urinate or pass wind?

Yes if it’s has done instead of wudhu for salat and before salat, a person goes to the toilet or sleeps or passes gas from rear then he has to do tayammum again.

Mera swal ye h k sone se wuzu tut jaty he maslan ham zohar asr ki namaz ek sath padte h. Hamne zohar ki Namaz ada ki or duwa mang kr namaz tamam kr ke ham ja namaz pr hi so gye or kuch der bad uth kr hamne asr ki namaz padli to hamari namaz ho sktyi h ya iske lye hame dobara wuzu krni padegi. Sone s hamary wuzu to to tut nhi jaty q ki aksr mere sath esa hota h k Zohar ki Namaz Ada krte krte Mujhe Nind Ane Lagty h or janamaz pr hi kuch der k lye so jaty hu bad m uth kr asr ki namaz ada krty hu.
Main question mera Wuzu ke mutallik hi h.

How do I begin paying Khums if I’ve never paid before? Do I need to pay on previous savings? If my debt is larger than my savings, is khums compulsory?

How to guide your children from the shaytan ages 14,boy 15 girl from influential friends that they make? A lot of parents are so busy with work to make money and don’t pay attention to their children and what they do. As I do not work and I see many things that is not good for their hereafter. I cannot guide these many children but the influence is really overwhelming. I want to move from my city to make another move eventually out of western world to not lose them to shaytan for I do not have family that follow. As for my husband he has but always busy same thing work both leave kids. Please help

I accept your worry and really this is a big challenge in western countries to secure one’s faith and Deen. But when we see eastern countries either Gulf countries or Middle East or Indian sub continent even these countries are also not that much safe and clean. Therefore the only solution is remaining for us to see the true guidance of Ahlul Bayt (a.s). If we see their life and guidance they always focus an building up true faith in Allah (swt) we Muslims have many things on the name of religion but we don’t have true faith and awareness of Islam. That is why we are loosing our generation. In my view if we give time to our children and tell them openly about the situation and culture what we have in both east and west and this saying and whispering should continue till they reach to their age of puberty then inshallah Allah will help us and them too. But we should try to teach them the very basics of Islam for example never tell lie,never hurt others feelings, never do oppression, never forget hereafter and Allah.
Inshallah Allah will help as He is the best Helper. As Holy Quran says:
وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And Allah's is the East and the West, therefore, whither you turn, thither is Allah's purpose; surely Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.(2:115)

I have a 2 question
1) Can we have a sexual intercourse in temporary marriage?

2) Can wife masturbate her husband in temporary marriage?

1) If there was no condition fixed prior that husband can’t have sexual relationship then yes you can.
2) Yes as she can .

In the last year of my bachelor's degree, there was some issue at my home due to which I went into the phase of severe depression and as a result of that I became ill. My brain was just burning inside out and the rest of the body was very hot. I consulted the doctors and they suggested me to go for outing. I did that and the burning of the head stopped. But I knew that it wasn't the proper solution to my problem. I wasn't able to perform my Zikr o Ibadat because I wasn't getting happiness and satisfaction from that. While performing tahajjud (Namaz e Shab) I got scared every time. So I left offering my tahajjud. But my health was good. Now after 6 months the same burning of head and lot of pressure on brain started again. I went to a spirtual doctor, syed baba who was shia, for finding the solution to my problem. He said that I have an evil eye of a Jinn. He gave me some taweez. But stil I have some burning and pressure on my head. Also I was wearing a Feroza on my right hand but unfortunately I lost that ring somewhere. My mother told me that as I have lost my Feroza and now I am not wearing it so that's why this pressure and burning of head is occuring. Can you please tell me that what's wrong with me and what should I do now?
Can you please evaluate to tell me that is there any effect of an evil eye of a Jinn?
Please tell me some methods to get rid of this illness.

As it has mention in the Holy Quran
اَلا بذِكرِ الله تَطمَئِنُ القلوب
Lo! Remembrance of Allah (swt ) gives peace and tranquility to hearts.
But this remembrance should not be just by tongue rather it should be as if that a person feels the presence of Allah in all aspects of his life. There are many Zikr and Duas which can cause peace and tranquility. Please recite this zikr after your Salat 70 times:
سبحان الله و الحمد الله و لا اله الا الله و الله اكبر

ما شاءَ الله لا حَولَ وَ لا قوَّةَ إلّا باللهِ العَلِیِّ العَظیم
Continue your salat on its actual time Inshallah soon you will get recovery.

Meri biwi humesha mujhe kehti rehti hai k uspar sirf 2 cheeze wajib hai, 1 ghar se bahar jaate wakt meri ijazat lena or 2 sex k liye ready rehna. Kya iske alawa uspar kuch b wajib nahi hai ?
Esa nahi k wo ghar k kaam nahi karti, wo kaam krti hai but mujhe jaan na hai k biwi k huqooq apne husband k liye kya hai and same mere huqooq kya hai meri biwi k liye.

Ji aapki wife theek kahti hain agar wajib ki baat karen to utna hi wajib hai. Iske baad baqi Akhlaq se related rules honge jinka anjam dena behtar hai magar wajib nahi. Albeta bahar na jane wali soorat main bahot sare aur masail attached hai jinka anjam dena bhi wajib ho jata hai. For example unka job karna etc....

Of Resalatul Huqooq of Imam Sajjad (a.s).
Woman in Islam ( Imam Khumeini r.a)

Is azra one of the name of Janabe Fatematuzzehra s.a? What is its meaning?

It’s a good name it has 2 meanings
Pearl without a hole
Virgin (Dosheeze)
It was title of both Lady Maryam(s.a) and Lady Fatima (sa)

Can I name my baby Youzarsif if I have a baby boy and Adeeya if I have a baby girl. Can you also please send me the meaning of both the names

In Risalatul Huqooq of Imam Sajjad a.s it has mentioned that the first responsibility of parents towards their child is to give them Good Name. I don’t know this name Youzarsif was really Prophet Yusuf (a.s) name as it was used in the Serial related to the life of Prophet Yusuf (a.s).
But there are many narration that our Aimmah (a.s) were putting the names of their children on either Prophets names or Aimmah’s names. As when someone asked Imam Husain (a.s) why do you have all your children’s name Ali he said if I would have hundred children I would put their names Ali and if they were girls I would put their names Fatima.
Also it’s Mustahab that we put our first born baby boys name “Muhammad”. Therefore even if you want to give your child’s name YUSUF it’s better as it has mentioned in the Holy Quran but for Yuzarsif we don’t have that much authentic Hadith. Because if his name was Yuzarsif that much important then why Quran didn’t mention it. Ok it might me it an Ebraani name but not Islamic and Quranic name.

Mere sath aesa hota hai k mere beghair kuch acha aml kiye Allah mjhy bht zyada nawaz deita haii jis se mujhmain khauf sa paida hojata hai k main iske qabil ni hun or main is bat ka kesse shukar adaa karungi. Ya yeh kisi azmaish main na mubtila kar de


إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
‏. Surely Allah gives to whom He pleases without measure.(3:37)
But praise Allah as much as you can and be alert not to misuse His Blessings. Do charity and help those who are needy.

I put some money in mutual funds more than 10 years ago and I have recently redeemed it. Please let me know if there is khums on this or not.

Yes there is Khums in it as it was your saving.

Can husband and wife offer namaz next to each other?

No always there should be there must be enough gap between to male and female even if they are mahram for each other. But woman should not be ahead of man while vice-versa is correct.

Kiya hum khussi janwar ki qurbani ker suktay hai

Ji kar sakte hain magar Hajj ki wajib qurbani jo Mina main hona hai wahan nahin kar sakte.

Is Ghusl required even after involuntary ejaculation?

Also, does it still put one in a state of janaba or no?

Yes even Ghusl e Janabat is obligatory and a person will be called Mujnib ( the one who is in the state of Janabat)

I am currently in Mashhad and I have visited the holy shrine of Imam Rida as but I have not been able to touch or kiss the shrine due to the amount of people trying to reach. I wanted to ask how important it is to kiss and touch the shrine if I have already read the ziyarah and prayed the 2 rakats.

May Allah and Imam accept your Ziyarat. It’s not an obligatory that you must touch or kiss the Zarih your Ziyarat is complete one you entered in the Holy shrine of a Masoom (a.s) and seen the Zarih but if it’s possible for you to wait few hours where you can get the chance to touch the Zarih it’s better to do so. I know at the holy Sharib’s of Imam Reza (a.s) it’s not easy to go near the Zarih but if you wait and near the Namaz time it get bit less crowded then you can reach to the Zarih. Otherwise it’s ok don’t worry.

Namaze Shab Night(Raat) me 11:00 pm baje ke baad padh sakte hai kya? Agar mai Namaze shab night me 11:00 pm baje ke baad padhkar sota hu to kya namaze shab padhne ka sawab milega mujhe.

Ji mid night ke baad aap kabhi bhi namaz e shab parh sakte hain aur even jaisa ke aapne likh 11 baje to aap ke baad To aap parh sakte hain. Inshallah Allah aapki ebadat ko Qabool kare aur mazeed taufiqat main Izafa farmaye.

What to recite to do mutah and how to do it?
Explain the conditions as well

2378. It is permissible for a man and a woman to recite the formula of the temporary marriage (Mut'ah), after having agreed on the period of marriage and the amount of Mahr. Hence, if the woman says: Zawwajtuka nafsi fil muddatil ma'lumati 'alal mahril ma'lum (i.e. I have made myself your wife for an agreed period and agreed Mahr), and then the man immediately responds thus: Qabiltu (i.e. I have accepted), the marriage will be in order. And the marriage will also be in order if they appoint other persons to act as their representatives.
First, the representative of the woman should say to the representative of the man thus: Matta'tu muwakkilati muwakkilaka fil muddatil ma'lumati 'alal mahril ma'lum (i.e. I have given my client to your client in marriage for the agreed period and the agreed Mahr), and then the representative of the man should immediately respond thus: Qabiltut tazwija li muwakkili hakaza (i.e. I accepted this matrimonial alliance for my client this way).

Kya kisi hindu ko 'assalamo alaykum' keh kar salaam kar sakte hai?

There is no objection to commencing with "salam" to them, but it is discouraged (makruh) except when necessary, even if it is customary. Their "salam" should be replied by saying "'alayk." There is no objection to congratulating them on special occasions. (MMS, pp. 31-32, Q63)
http://www.najaf.org...2/inside/65.html

We are instructed by the Ahl Al-Bayt (as) to respond to their salaams with عَلَيْكُمْ "`alaykum" or وَ عَلَيْكُمْ "wa `alaykum"
‎لَا تَبْدَءُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ إِذَا سَلَّمُوا عَلَيْكُمْ فَقُولُوا وَ عَلَيْكُمْ
‘Do not initiate salaam (with) the Ahl Al-Kitaab (People of the book) , but if they offered salaam onto you, just say, “wa ‘Alaykum”’

Ghusl kese kiya jaata hai?
Saare ghusl ek hi tareh se kiye jaate hain?

There are two methods of performing Ghusls, both Wajib and Mustahab.
Tartibi (Sequential) Irtimasi (By submerging the whole body).

Obligatory baths (Ghusl) » Tartibi (sequential)
367. In this method, a person should first make a niyyat for Ghusl. Thereafter one should first wash one's head and neck, and thereafter the remaining parts of one's body. It is better that one washes the right part of the body first and then the left part. And if a person, while standing under the water, jerks each of these parts on one's body with an intention of performing Tartibi Ghusl, it will not be sufficient and the precaution is that one should not content oneself with it. And if a person washes the body before washing the head, either intentionally, or on account of forgetfulness or because of not knowing the rule, Ghusl is void.

Obligatory baths (Ghusl) » Irtimasi (by submerging the whole body)
373. Ghusl by way of Irtimasi is either carried out instantly or gradually. If the Ghusl of Irtimasi is to be done at one instance, then water must reach all parts of the body at one time. However, it is not necessary that the whole body be submerged in water from the very beginning of Ghusl. If a part of the body is outside, and is later submerged with the niyyat of Ghusl, it will be deemed in order.

374. If one wishes to perform Irtimasi Ghusl gradually, then it is necessary that the whole body is out of water before Ghusl commences. Then one would submerge one's body gradually in water with the intention of Ghusl.

Agar raat ka waqt hai aur banda janabat ki haalat mai chala jaata hai toh usse roze se pehle ghusl dena padhega tabhi roza mana jaega ya roze ke baad bhi ghusl de sakta hai?

Agar aap Zinda Insan ki baat kar rahe hain to uske liye wajib hai ke agar woh raat main Mujnib ho jata hai, Fajr ki azan se pahle ghusl kar ley warna uska roza bhi batil hoga aur usey us roze ke badle qaza aur faffara dono anjam dena parega.

Ab jaisa ke aapne likha hai agar koi banda halat e janabat main Chala jata hai agar aapki murad marjata hai to uske liye wahi Ghusle Maiyyet kafi hai aur alaheda koi ghuls nahin dene ki zaroorat hai.

If I'm going to stay at my uncle's house from 29th Maahe Ramazan for few days , Is it wajib on him to give my fitra or I should give my fitra myself ?

If you are his guest and he will feed you in these days to you then it’s upon him to pay Fitra on behalf of you.

Please advise , can we pray namaz in front of mirror , is it makrooh or it's fine to do this ?

Rules of Namaz » Places where offering prayers is Makrooh
907. There are a number of places where it is Makrooh to offer prayers. Some of them are the following:
Public bath Saline land Facing a human person Facing an open door On a road or street, provided that offering of prayers at these places does not cause inconvenience to others. If it is a source of inconvenience, and discomfort to them, it is haraam to obstruct their way. Facing fire or a lamp In the kitchens, and at every place where there is a furnace Facing a well or a pit where people often urinate Facing the picture or models of living creatures, unless it is covered In the room where a Mujnib is present At a place where there is a picture, even if it may not be placed in front of the person who offers prayers Facing a grave On the grave Between two graves In the graveyard

After a debate I have a concern, what is the ruling of Shia (saadat) to marry a Bohri cast? Is it allowed? I could not find any ruling under Agha Sistani.


As long as Marriage with Muslims concern there is no problem to marry either with a Sunni or Bohra or Zaidiya sects of Islam because they all are Muslims but the most important thing we should keep in our mind that marriage will not only join husband and wife but it connect two families and their culture too. Therefore if there is no issue of culture and your future children (because if the girl wants to remain in Bohra sect then it would most surely affect one’s children’s faith and ideology ) then you can do this.

Istekhara kaise dekha jata hai

Dua e Istekhara

Anyone can do Istekhara.
There are two most common methods one is doing istekhara with Tasbeeh if after reciting namaz and recite this dua:
‎دعای استخاره
‎اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ (ضرورت را تان را در این قسمت ذکر کنید) خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
Then select some beads from the Tasbeeh if it came in odd numbers it means Ishtekhara is better in your favour and if beads comes in even numbers then it means one should not perform that act for which he has done Istekhara.
Another method after reciting dua open any page from the Holy Quran and at the right side page on the top whatever Ayat is written if it’s meaning shows positive command then It means Istekhara is better otherwise it’s not good.
3 tareeqa eh hai ke Insan 2 Rakat namaz jaise subh ki nama Ada karta hai parhe fir wahi dua jo uper likhi hai parhe aur Allah per itmenon rakhe woh agar jis kam ke liye Istekhara kar rahe hain hamare Haqq main hoga to uske asbaad muhaiyya kar dega aur agar Haqq main nahin hai to bhi kisi sabab ki bina per kam aage nahin barhega. Ho sakta hai Insan Khwab bhi dekhe jismain use ilham ho jaye ke is kam ka karna munasib hai ya nahin.

Qaza roze ka kaffara kya hai or kisko dena chahiye

Ramzan mubarak ke roze agar bimari, safar ya kisi aur sharyee wajah se nahin rakhe gaye hain to unka koi Kaffara nahin hai balke har roze ke badle Ramzan ke baad Qaza ki Niyyat se roza rakhna wajib hai. Sirf bimar ke liye hai ke har roze ke badle 750 gram food ya uske badle paisa de dey aur Ramzan ke baad un chootey hue roza ko Qaza kare agar sehatyab ho gaya hai.
Jan boojh kar ya aisa koi kam karke jisse roza batil ho jata hai aisi soorat main har roze ke bade 60 roza Kaffara ke taur per rakhega aur agar roza nahin rakh sakta to 60 miskeen ko khana khilayega aur agar uski haisiyat nahin hai to Istegfar karega.

Hamare yaha Imambarghah mei jaha namaz hoti hai, waha ek zakera ki bacchi ne chatayi par peshab kar di hai or humne ye dekhna hai.
Ab hume ye pata nahi hai unhone usey paak kiya hai ya nahi par wo ilm rakhti hai pakizgi ka.
Hamari kya zimmedari hai ismei?

Agar aapko yaqeen hai ke Zakira is baat ko janti hain to ab aapki koi zimmedari nahin hai aur agar aapko doubt hai to aap ya khud is mat ko pak kar dijia ya unko yeh baat bata dijia. Agar mat uthayee ja sakti hai aur peshab neeche tak nahin gaya hai to chatayee ko pak kar dijia ismain koi sharm ki baat nahin hai aur agar chatayee ya qaleen ya farsh move nahin ho sakti, to ek kapda lekar baar baar kapde ko pani se wash kar ke us jagah ko rub kijia. Yeh amal kayee bar karne se woh jagah Pak ho jayegi. Har bar kapde ko rub Karne ke bad dhul dijia magar uska pani aas paas nahin girna chahiye. Iske liye alag se ek bartan le lijia.

‎اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ (ضرورت را تان را در این قسمت ذکر کنید) خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
Then select some beads from the Tasbeeh if it came in odd numbers it means Ishtekhara is better in your favour and if beads comes in even numbers then it means one should not perform that act for which he has done Istekhara.
Another method is after reciting dua, open any page from the Holy Quran and at the right side page on the top whatever Ayat is written, if it’s meaning shows positive command then It means Istekhara is better otherwise it’s not good.
3 tareeqa eh hai ke Insan 2 Rakat namaz jaise subh ki nama Ada karta hai parhe fir wahi dua jo uper likhi hai parhe aur Allah per itmenon rakhe woh agar jis kam ke liye Istekhara kar rahe hain hamare Haqq main hoga to uske asbaad muhaiyya kar dega aur agar Haqq main nahin hai to bhi kisi sabab ki bina per kam aage nahin barhega. Ho sakta hai Insan Khwab bhi dekhe jismain use ilham ho jaye ke is kam ka karna munasib hai ya nahin.

I have a complicated question concerning the verse on marriage to 4 wives. Is this realistic considering that it is very hard to treat 4 humans beings equally?

More importantly, how can we differentiate between a man cheating on his first wife, versus a man trying to get a know another women to make her his second wife. Where is the line crossed? When is it considered cheating on your first wife and when is it considered just trying to get to know a woman to make her your second wife?

For instance, imagine that I am a single woman who is talking to a married man. We have gone out twice on a coffee date. He wants to make me his second wife. Am I comitting zina in this case? Is he considered a cheater? Or is this okay since he says his intention is to make me my second wife?

Going on dates with a non mahram man is itself not permitted and can causes many ethical problems but still we can’t say it’s as an adultery as long as both of them had not have any physical relationship.
As for as the philosophy and condition of polygamy in Islam please go to the below link you will find your answer in a complete way.
https://www.al-islam.org/articles/concept-polygamy-and-prophets-marriages-sayyid-muhammad-rizvi

The document did not answer my question. My question is where is the line between cheating on my wife versus trying to get to know a second woman to potentially make her my wife.

As per Shariya rule only when a husband wants to marry with the niece of his wife he has to get permission from his wife first then can do Nikah or if his wife had set a condition that that he will not get marry to other than her and a husband has accepted this condition before doing Nikah with her.
Otherwise he is free to get marry 2nd, 3rd and 4th time but as the Quran clearly says your are allowed to do so if you can maintain “justice” amongst them. Now we should not take this task of just as an easy case. Maintaining justice means what? If anyone has failed ultimately he will cheat but it would be possible after marriage either he is maintaining justice amongst them or injustice with them. So as for as 2nd or 3rd marriage concern we can’t say itself as he is cheating with his wife if anyone wants to get marry again.
But if Islam has given this authority to men to get marry 2nd or 3rd and 4th time doesn’t mean that men have gotten this permission to flirt or having illegal relationship with other woman. This is of course haram and a kind of cheating to his wife.

1. Is it ok to eat cheese with animal rennet?

2. Is it ok to eat gelatin from animals?

Please read the below answers:
https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01159/

So why is animal enzymes ok to eat in cheese but not in gelatin?

Gelatine itself is made up of animals bones and if the bones that are used for making gelatine is from halal animal that was also slaughtered by Islamic Shariya, there is no harm to use that.

What is the kaffara for someone who broke their fast and drank water after feeling very dizzy?

If anyone has such situation that he will face sever problem if he/she continues his fast then she/he has to break his fast and do Qaza of that day fast by having one day fast after the month of Ramazan.

If I felt that I was about to faint, there is no kaffara?

1590. If a person observing fast becomes so thirsty that he fears that he may die of thirst or sustain some harm or extreme hardship, he can drink as much water as would ensure that the fear is averted. However, his fast becomes invalid, and if it is the month of Ramadhan, as an obligatory precaution, he should not drink more than that, and then for the rest of the day, refrain from all acts which would invalidate the fast.

Therefore there is no Kaffara

Mujhe koe aisi dua ya tareeka bataiye jisko karte hi mujhe neend aa jae.

Please if possible recite these Sura before sleeping.
Isra,Hadid, Hashr, Juma, Taghabun A’la
Please also recite this Aya:
‎..أَلا بِذِکرِ اللَّهِ تَطمَئنُّ الْقُلُوب"(28رعد)

I have some issues related to taharat najasat waswas and issues regarding making things tahir and etc

There are few listed things are Najis which you can see below:
Ruling 80. There are ten things that are impure [intrinsically]:(1)

1. urine;
2. faeces;
3. semen;
4. corpse;
5. blood;
6. dog;
7. pig;
8. disbeliever (kāfir);
9. wine;
10. sweat of an excrement-eating animal.
(1) Each of these things is also known as an ‘intrinsic impurity’ (ʿayn al-najāsah).
Now if these things come in contact with a Pak thing they make those Pak things also Najis.
Now how make oneself Pak if he become Najis due to having contact with above mentioned things:
In case of few a person should have wajib Ghusl example if anyone sees Semen either after having sex with his wife or during sleep or due to any reason he has to do Ghusl e Janabat and if he touched a dead body after becoming cold then he has to do Ghusl e Mass e Maiyyet ( both Ghusls Janabat and Masse Maiyyet methods are )but if anyone touched urine or stool of Dogs (with wet hands) Kafir, blood and Alchohal then he has to wash only that portion which came in contact with these Najis things.
Now about Doubts or when doubts gets its worst position ( that we call Waswas) so make sure waswas is the act of Shaitan and if anyone listen and follow according to his waswas it means he is following Shaitan.
So please leave any type of doubt come in your mind and just follow the Shariat ( Islamic Laws) as our Imams taught us and now our Marja e Taqlid have written in their Islamic laws book.

I have read the tauzeeh and read najasat taharat chapters so many times. I understand it but I'm unable to control my waswas. I'm extreme in waswas. I'm unable to use engkish toilet and I dont have other options in my home. Its not possible to change. It takes for me hours to just pass urine and clean myself. I want to heal.

Believe me we all use English toilet and now a days other than India bad Pakistan most of the countries even big no people in India they use English toilet. So please try to remove from your mind and just follow what Islam says not what your own mind and understanding. If we follow Islam according to our own mind and interest then that would not be Islam but Shaitani Waswasa. So please don’t listen to your mind. And start a new life like other members of your own family and try to live natural life.
Ask Allah (swt) to help you inshallah be Haqqe 14 Masumins inshallah you will soon get natural way of life.

We are planning to have baby. Is there any dua for having daughter.

There is no specific surah/ dua we can refer from the ahadeeth to be read for Allah Ta’ala to grant a baby girl. However, the following dua can be read in order to ask Allah Ta’ala to bestow upon you an obedient and pious child:

"Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhuriyyatina qurrata A'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama."

"Our Lord! grant us in our spouses and offspring the joy of our eyes and make us heads of the God-fearing." (Surah 25: Ayah74)

Also please recite three time Salawat followed “ Allahumma inni Qad Sammaituha Fatima” then Three times Salawat after every Wajib Salat and inshallah if you are blessed with baby girl then you have to named her “Fatima”

You should leave the matter of baby boy and baby girl to Allah, whatever will be granted by Him will be better, inshaAllah.

And Allah knows best.

Is it permissible to recite Quran through mobile application without wudhu during travel or otherwise? As we are not directly touching the words/letters is wudhu necessary/wajib?

Yes you can recite without wudhu and can touch the screen also.


To contextualize my question, I'm going to tell you what I'm not asking: Im not asking for proof of Ismah as a doctrine, but rather why Prophets have been given ismah in the context of predestination and free will. Moreover, I am not asking for proof of free will either.

My question is in multiple parts and I've done my best to break it down into yes/no type questions. okay, Bismillah.

Were Prophets chosen from the start or were they chosen conditional to whether someone in a society was capable of accepting Prophethood (by their own merit)?

If the former, then can't the objection be brought up that those prophets were essentially predestined heaven (and therefore making Allah unjust in some way)?

If the latter, then is it possible for ordinary people to reach the level of prophets?

If this is not possible and if what makes prophets better than ordinary humans the fact that Allah has granted them wahy and knowledge, then is it fair ask why ordinary people don't also receive that same treatment as mentioned by 12:24 which would thereby guarantee them heaven and protection from sin?

If the granting of wahy and knowledge is conditional upon someone having intelligence and purity, then is it a reasonable objection to say that intelligence is not a controllable factor?

If intelligence is not a controllable thing, then can the same objection be brought up that most intelligent people who are granted prophethood are guaranteed heaven (thus making Allah unjust again) because their uncontrollable faculty of reasoning was why they were granted wahy which prevents them from sin? (That is, someone's uncontrollable circumstances has led them to have a higher capacity, and therefore they have a greater opportunity to reach a higher level of heaven than ordinary people)

Please forgive the scatterbrained question, I had to think about how I was going to ask this. I'm not sure if you can ask for clarification on this app, so forgive any confusing wording.


First of all I would like to appreciate you your question is very important and genuine so don’t worry about that.
As you asked it’s true that Allah (swt) has given special grace and grade to His Prophets and Imams too because of two major reasons:
1- No doubt that Allah (swt) has created our soul before our body ( I.e everyone’s soul has created before their material body in this very world)
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ شَهِدْنَا أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَافِلِينَ

And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of resurrection: Surely we were heedless of this.(7:172)
Therefore when all of us have given this testimony “” Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness.””.
It means we all have been tested by Allah (swt) in Aalam e Zarr.
What Allah has tested us and do all of us received the same Rank or grade or position after that testing ??? If we say Yes then we can get objection or oppose that why Allah has selected few personalities amongst all Humanity as a Guide for rest of the Human.
Also It’s very clear near Allah’s absolute Knowledge who is going to show his ability in the world of Practical life according to His wish and will ( Make sure Allah has give all of us same free will as prophets have without fraction discrimination)
Example: when a father sends his two children in same school and takes care of them in same way and nurture them in same style but when it comes to his knowledge that one of them is more capable and has more grasping power of understanding knowledge then he starts paying more attention towards this particular son. Is this called as favour or discrimination or it has to be called that because his one child showed more ability so he deserves more attention otherwise all his ability will go in vein?
Therefore if we see amongst all His creations Allah has selected few of them as His special successor or Khalifa it’s because they showed their ability while in their life of Aalam e Zarr ( i.e the life before getting material body)

Note :what I said above It has been mention in the Dua of Nudba and in many more Ziyarats and traditions of Aimmah and Prophet (saww)

2- If Allah has given special authority and position to few of His servants to serve Humanity, its not only any called as favour them rather it’s a great favour to the rest of the Humanity. Why because if you see the very goal and purpose of our creation in this material world we strongly in need of a personality to whom we could follow as Allah desires from all of us.
3- If you see the life of all those Prophet and even our 12 Imams you will never find any smallest fault due to their worldly desires that they have committed any action which was against the will and wish of Allah. “”( Note: Tarke Awla (leaving most appropriate ) from few Prophets is an another topic of discussion””
But none of the Prophet had a fraction desire to achieve worldly pleasure despite having the same quantity of Desires like other humans have. But they sacrificed all their wish and desires in front of Allah’s Will and Wish. But at the same time if we can find any other personality completely same as what Prophets have sacrificed in their life and he didn’t get a place of Nubuawa then we can say that why Allah has selected those one as His Nabi and revealed His Wahi (revelation) upon them. We believe 124,000 Prophet and all Prophets have their successor and their Successors have their either disciples or companions and all of them did their Job well and all they have great reward near Allah. But in our daily life or some times in one’s whole how many people we have seen that they had the same qualities as a Prophets have?
Lastly as for as our resurrection and reckoning on the Day of Judgement concern Allah says in the Holy Quran:
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.(2:286)
Therefore all of us will be questioned and be rewarded according to our own ability.
According to the tradition Prophet Suleiman will enter in to the Heaven after all Prophets have already entered. Why because Allah has given him power and authority over His all creatures and made him a great King so he will be questioned more in comparison to other Prophets.
I hope I have given your answer Allah knows better but still you have right to ask if you need.

What is the difference between History and Islamic History?

When we say History it means general History related to all area and all periods but when we say Islamic History specially we meant when Holy Prophet was born in Arabia.

After period we don't pray qaza namaz but we keep qaza fast. Why? Explain

After finishing menstrual cycle women don’t offer their lapsed namaz as Qaza but they fast theirs lapsed fasts as Qaza because namaz is the worship which we offer 5 times a day and continue it for whole year but Fasting comes only in the month of Ramzan once a year, therefore Allah doesn’t want His servant’s should have something less in their ebadat specially fasting which can’t be done whole year.

A couple of months back I carried on an istikhaara for marriage and the result of that istikhaara was not in my favour. I would like to carry out another istikhaara for the same purpose ( for the same girl ). What is the procedure for such a matter? Is there a sadqah to be paid?

This is not wajib it’s up to you either you give Sadaqa or not.
But what does Istekhara mean? Why and when do we do this? Normally we do Istekhara when we are totally confused and stuck between two options or even for one specific task that do I do this or not.
But in your case it shows that your it seems that you wish to marry with that particular girl and in this issue you have no confusion rather you have a kind of fear. Don’t be scared just rely on Allah as Allah says in the Holy Quran:
‎وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ

.....and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who trust.(3:159)

If i have to give blood for medical reason on a fasting day, does it void my fast? The test does not requier me to eat or drink anything

No it not invalidate your fast.

Is imam Mahdi (ajtf) married or has any kids? On earth or in occultation ?

The life of Al-Mahdi (ع) is an enigmatic issue, and therefore questions relating to it might not be answered definitively, although one can arrive at probable answers by studying the hadiths that have been related in this regard.

One of the questions pertaining to Imam Zaman’s (ع) life is whether he has a family. There are three possible answers to this question:

a) that he never married;

b) that he married but has not fathered children;

c) that he does in fact have children.

The implication of the first possibility would be his abandonment of a very important religious practice, which is hence very unlikely. Of course, it might be countered that the issue of his occultation and its secrecy are of utmost importance and thus marriage—which although important is not nearly as important—can be abandoned. This contention however is not acceptable, for marriage and the secrecy required during his occultation are in no way at odds.

The second possibility, although free of the problem with which the previous possibility is faced, raises another question: Has he married only once—hence is his wife sharing his unusual longevity—or has he been married to multiple wives? There is no evidence to support either side, but it would not be unlikely if the latter were correct. The problem which this might bring to mind is the possibility that his identity might be revealed. However this might pose a serious problem, for according to the hadiths, in his occultation it is his identity as the twelfth imam from the progeny of Muhammad that must be kept secret, which would not be jeopardized by personal relations if the people whom he is in contact with be unaware of his status as such.1

The same question can be addressed in the case of the third possibility. This possibility however is faced with an additional problem: If the Imam did in fact have children, they would sooner or later decide to search for their true identity which might in turn jeopardize Imam Zaman’s (ع) secret mission.

There are however no ahadith that specifically verify any of these three possibilities. As to further accentuate the dilemma, there is a hadith that has been related through two chains of transmitters with one consequential word differing in the two versions. One version related by Shaykh al-Tusi reads, “Imam Ja’far b. Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع) said, ‘No one of his children (wuldihi) or anyone else would know his whereabouts.’”2

In the other version related by Nu’man, the hadith reads, “No one from his friends (wali) or anyone else would know his whereabouts.’”3

Thus due to this discrepancy, there is no reason to prefer Shaykh al-Tusi’s version. On the contrary, Nu’man’s version seems more preferable in terms of its chain of transmitters and the wording itself. For instance, in Shaykh al-Tusi’s version there is a third person singular pronoun (ghayrihi) which seems to be incorrect as its antecedent is plural (wuldihi) which is unjustifiable, except if accounted for according to the following three possibilities:

1. That this mistake is attributable to the scribes;

2. That the hadith is indicating that the Imam only has one son;

3. Or that the hadith is not specifying whether he does in fact have a child or not but that if he did, the secrecy of his mission in occultation is so paramount that even his child wouldn’t know him.

Moreover, the chain of transmitters is faulty, which even if this could be overlooked, another issue would be that it is unclear whether the hadith is about the time of occultation or is referring to the period after his reemergence.

There are two other hadiths that complicate the controversy. One is a prayer narrated by Ibn Tawus from Imam ‘Ali b. Musa al-Rida (ع): “O Allah, grant him [i.e. the Twelfth Imam] in regard to himself, his family, his children, and his progeny …”4

The other hadith is related from Imam Ja’far b. Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع): “It is as though I see the Qa`im [i.e. the Twelfth Imam] in the Mosque of al-Sahlah with his family accompanying him.”5

Some have cited the story of the “Green Isle” to claim that the Imam (ع) has a family and numerous children who reside on the isle and have it all to themselves. This story however is only a myth. It is more akin to a tail of fiction than to reality. ‘Allamah Majlisi who has narrated this story explains, “Since I did not find this story in any of the reliable books, I have brought it in a separate chapter.”6 Shaykh Aqa Buzurg Tehrani asserts that this tale is a fabrication.7

Hence, although it is possible that Imam Zaman (ع) has a family, it is not verifiable, as there are no authentic hadiths to the point. On the other hand, there does not seem to be any good reason why Imam Zaman (ع) would abandon the religious practice of marriage.

Where does the Imam reside? There are three groups of hadith in this regard that at first glance might seem contradictory. The first group do not specify a location but rather say that the Imam is itinerant in mountains and deserts—such as the hadith narrated by Ibn Mahziar and which Shaykh al-Tusi has recorded in his Ghaybah.8

The second group are those that point to a specific location as to where the Imam resides. These hadiths are divergent however in regard to where that location exactly is. Some of these hadiths mention the city of Medina or more specifically Mount Razawi which is located on the outskirts of the city.9 In reference to such ahadith ‘Allamah Shushtari writes,

It has been ascertained in authentic hadiths that the Imam’s residence in both the major and minor occultations is Mount Razawi. And the fact that the Kisaniyyah claim it as the headquarters of Muhammad Hanafiyyah does not negate its being where the Imam resides. For, the Kisaniyyah had based their belief on the numerous accounts in which the Prophet (ص) had prophesied the coming of the Al-Mahdi, his occultation, etc., but had erroneously accepted Muhammad Hanafiyyah as the promised Al-Mahdi. And generally, all deviations and aberrations stem from a truth which has been wrongfully understood or manipulated.10

A number of these hadiths however point to an area around Mecca—namely, Zu Tuwa—as the residence of the Imam and where he will begin his revolution alongside his companions.11

The third group of hadiths also lacks any allusion to a specific location but points out that the Imam does in fact interact with other people normally but without being identified.12 On examining the three groups more carefully it becomes clear that there is no discrepancy between them. The Imam leads a normal life without arising any suspicion. This mode is the most convenient for the Imam. And this is in no way at odds with him being in Mecca or occasionally retreating to mountains and uninhabited regions in urgent circumstances.

What is the Imam’s (ع) diet comprised of and what type of dress does he wear? As mentioned above, the Imam lives a normal life. However the hadiths indicate that he contents himself with the minimum of food and the simplest of clothing. In his Kitab al-Ghaybah Nu’mani narrates a hadith from Imam Ja’far b. Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع) and Imam ‘Ali b. Musa al-Rida (ع) which addresses the above question: “He only wears coarse clothing and eats unpalatable food.”13

In another hadith he is related to have said, “His clothing is rough and coarse, and his food is bread made from barley.”14

Is there any importance of wudhuh water or its like other normal water? Does wudhu water decreases anger(gussa) ?

Itself wudhu water has no importance but what is important is that Wudhu and Holy Prophet (saww) has said if a person is angry he should do wudhu so far his anger will go away.

I got married (removed) years . I had no plans of getting married yet I wanted to do my further studies and learn to take responsibilities and get mentally prepared for it but my (removed) and (removed) convinced for over removed that they want me to get married so they can make me study further and continue my profession. Since I was a (removed) year old i wanted to be a good profession and establish a social cause . I wanted to do my studies and have savings and do the same . They promised me a lot of things that i will be having no responsibilities of them for few years and its no problem that I don't know how to do things. The day I got married from the very first day they made me do everything. I have a problem that I cannot tolerate heat my nose bleeds very badly in heat and huge clots start coming out and I'm already anemic . We are in an (removed) country and its very hot here. They made me cook outside the house in that heat everyday. Despite the promises they had made they broke all of them and my (removed) who happens to be my (removed) too was very rude to me ordering me around to do stuff . My husband never supported me . I was all alone in this strange country my family and parents are not here . I remained patient . But now I’m (removed) month pregnant they still make me do everything and are getting no help though they are Alhamdulillah doing well and are rich and had promised would get help because we live in a joint family and it all gets too much for me . They still don't and my in laws said it several times on my face that she will not let me do my studies because the only reason she got me married to his son was she wanted someone to take care of her all day long and do stuff. My husband has become violent and while i was pregnant hit me several times . I have to go buy myself food everyday during my pregnancy in this heat alone . I am alone all day long and at night also my husband doesn’t come mostly. I have fallen into clinical depression and am not happy with this relationship. They keep insulting my parents and family openly for no reason. For the last whole year I have cried myself to sleep everyday all alone . I don’t want my child to go through all this alone . I am sick and they don’t take me to the doctor. And they call my family members back in my country and lie about me to them that I don’t do anything and keep relaxing all the time and they accuse me and my family of wrong things . My inlaws also misbehaves with me a lot and says things like he will kill me and humiliates my parents and grand parents. My inlaws tells me things like we will send you to your home and never call you back and then you can cry for the rest of your life and teaches her son things like these .I don’t see the point of continuing with the people who are far far away from the religion of islam and people I don’t trust and am scared of. I don’t trust my husband he keeps lying to me. Also I found in his phone him texting so many girls and those were not very decent messages .
I don’t feel like continuing with these people . Please help me and please don’t tell me be to be more patient I have tried my best but since my parents are dragged and humiliated I am unable to forgive them. May allah be with all of us.

Sister I’m really disappointed reading your sad words. As you said that you have already tried to have good relationship with but it doesn’t work. As per Islamic Shariya concern in such situation you have only option that is to get divorce but this divorce would be a “ Khula” it means you will not supposed to get any Mahr money from your Husband if he has not paid it before. Also you can’t get divorce unless you give birth to your child. So you have to wait up the rest of your pregnancy time then you have to take any decision. But as you said in such situation they will not let you go to your parents therefore, first of all you have to manage anyhow to join with your parents and to your own country otherwise you can’t do anything legally in their country. So tell your parents your final decision and tell them about the situation and ask them to help you. I pray Allah (swt) help you and protect you from any harm.
If you have any question you may ask.

I wanted to ask is it okay if I would never want to get married again and raise my child on my own as a single mother.
I am so upset with all this that I don’t want to try again with anybody.
And will Allah and our Imams will be upset with me if I seperate

First of all you have to take decision for your current situation and be settled down then you decide for you long future. But now it’s important for you to solve the current situation.

As you are completely aware of my situation
I want to ask you a question
What would you do if you were in my place
My mother claims that if we ask the marajah what would they do, they would say no but for us they tell us what is the solution because they have deeper knowledge.
Please be honest and tell me what would you exactly do if you were in my place
I have lost all my patience and am very upset with everything that has been happening to me since I’m married
I was thinking if it is like once married you should compromise no matter what then Allah would never provide us with the option of divorce.
Allah never asks us women to be oppressed he has given us rights so we can be just to ourselves .
If I am not happy I will never be able to keep anyone else happy in my life and I'm scared slowly it will weaken my Imaan becauseI dont know for how long can I take this anymore
I hope I will get a suitable answer .

Islam emphasis a lot to have tolerance and sacrifice in one’s life and if anyone does so most sure his/her reward is great near Allah but the purpose behind all these must be intellectual and reasonable otherwise being oppressed silently by someone is not a good solution. We have many example in Islam where both men and woman had bad relationship or we can say woman was not good with her husband and husband was not behaving well with his wife but rewayat says that if in such situation anyone either man or woman they bear intolerance and continue their lives for the sake of Allah, most surely Allah will reward them just because Islam does not want to break a family relationship for few small worldly things. The concept of family in Islam is highly appreciated and that is why while Talaq is a final solution but Allah doesn’t like Talaq. But if the relation of husband and wife which is based on Good Akhlaq , understand , respect and faith in each other has lost its values then there is not option better than they get separation from each other. Particularly in your case as you said you live as a stranger in your house. If you would have support from your husband and the rest of your family members were rude with you, I would never advised you to think about divorce but if know that your situation will worse in near future and has no solution to solve it then it’s better to choose something which is appropriate for you. You have to have better life partner who can understand you and give you respect. Even as you said if it was the only case that you can’t continue your studies but rest of the issue in your family is going smoothly, I would never suggest you to be separated from your Husband. Your decision is more important that anyone else because none can understand your husband behavior other than you. So if you see any chance of change in your Husband try to speak with him in a very clear manner but I’m scared because you live for away from your parents and if they promise falsely and then start again same things then it would be more complicated for you to come out from such situation. Therefore it’s better for you first you join your own parents and focus on your baby and then give some options and conditions to your husband that you will only be ready to live with him if he gets his own life and brings you out from such suffocating environment.
As you asked what would I do if I was in same situation like you. I have no idea about your husband what I’ve listened it’s only one side story ( I’m not saying for God forsake you have said anything wrong to me) but I would say only if it’s related to me and my behaviour I would try to solve it by using both families in front of each other and clarify what they promised and how they behave now.
So please involve your parents and tell them what would you suggest for your own daughter to live in such suffocation or advise you to have better life where you can live with peace of mind.

Is Allah (SWT) physical? As in, if it were possible, could Allah (SWT) be touched? Or is he more like an essence.

According to logic and intellect even its impossible that Allah should have physical entity because physical body requires space , volume , weight and time and all these qualities are strictly related to an entity which had an specific time periods when it wasn’t there and will now be there too. Therefore all these quality are against the Being Mighty and omnipotent of Allah so it’s impossible that we can say Allah has any body. As for as His being is an essence concern that is also no true because no one Mac define His essence because only those things can be defined that can come to human essence and then it will be possible that a creature has gotten power over his creator to know about His essence.
Then What is Allah’s Holy Being. Its an unknown reality but we get cognizance ofAllah through His Sifat (qualities) orAsma.
We can say about Allah’s Holy being that His being is not the out of this Universe neither inside the Universe. Nothing in this world is outside his power while He is not present inside the any entity.

I have a friend who has been under the negative influence of a resident Jinn in his body for over 40 years .
It has caused him emotional distress and physical ailments. He has tried many wazaifs before. Please be advised that he is from Ahle Sunnat . He needs to get out of that stress to live a normal life. May Allah reward you for your kind help.

I believe in the existence of Jinn because Quran says but I don’t believe they cause any trouble for human. Please bring her to the Doctors and don’t waste your time.
Recite Rurah Jinn for her.

I have one big prblm, When I pray, I always doubt if I passed gas or no. Sometimes its doubts and sometimes its true. Or just I don’t know if its really gas or no.
So, everyday for each namaz, I repeat lt about 5 times. Because my conscience is not clear. I am always thinking that and If its really gas, and I just not try to repeat my namaz before its kaza, what I will say to Allah(swt).

I have been through this for few years already. This problem affect my imaan seriously , I feel more and more depressed. Because of this, I am scared to lose hope in Allah (swt)

I still making duas everyday, I seek help from the Ahlul Bayt (as), I do isteghfar. But I dont know what happen to me.
I do so many duas like yastashir, zyarat e ashura, duas e makaremlul aklaqh, to change my self and to become a pious person with a pure heart.

But I am just thinking that, How I can be religious if I can’t pray salat properly? Because, after my prayers , I am never satisfied. So can you imagine how I feel everyday? I Just leave my mussalo with a heart broken. Most of the time I cry after namaz.

And its not normal, because namaz is here to relax us, and for me when I am in my mussalo I just start to stress..
I already did a treatment with doctors but still the same.

Is it the fact that Allah(swt) Don’t Want to Hear my voice, because I have so many gunnah?
Do you have something that can help me? Please

What is the fiqh law for this kind of situation please? For example, if its an illness ?

First of all I humbly request you please don’t feel any guilty. Make sure Religion Islam came to give us ease not trouble. Islam is a very flexible religion. We believe Allah is Just this is our Usool e Din says so Allah will not punish anyone out of injustice.
Now as for as Islamic laws(Shariat) concern in the case of doubts occurs in Namaz if it’s leads that person gets doubt again and again then he/she is called Kathurush shakk and for such person rules say that he/she has to ignore his/her shakk (doubt).
Therefore you are not supposed to repeat your any namaz.
This was what Islamic laws says.
Now I request you please at least one week behave yourself as nothing has happened with you and pray your namaz only once don’t repeat without any doubt I’m taking all your responsibility on my own shoulders that even if you feel that really you have released gas don’t repeat your namaz just only for one week .

If someone doubt that he/she is the situation of jannabat. For example he/she dont know exactly what is to be in this situation. What does he/she has to do?
Is it obligatory to perform gusl?

Also, how a single women can know if she is najiss or no? I mean, if we see a fluid in the underwear, then we can consider that she is najiss
But if she see nothing , or just feel a fluid inside , but it does not spread out, she still najiss? Or no need to do gusl?

The fluid which a woman discharges in the state of lustfulness and which is called ejaculation – which normally takes place during orgasm – is treated as semen and it will cause janabat (in which case ghusl becomes obligatory). That is to say, ghusl becomes obligatory irrespective of whether there is climax or not. As for the fluid which comes out without lust or the fluid that comes but does not spread out to the underwear and which is only created with little sexual provocation, it does not cause any taklif (obligation) and if there is little fluid that reaches even the underwear but it is little, it is not considered to be ejaculation, so ghusl does not become obligatory.


1) I heard that, when we make wouzou, and we don’t finished the massa of feet, we can’t walk or move more than 3 steps. Is it true?

2) If I do mistake in the zikr for example, Do I have the right to just correct it direclty? Or I have to re do my namaz again?

3) Moreover, if I am performing my namaz, my clothes slide, so we can see , the part of my body that Its wajib to cover (example my wrists) , do I have to re do my salat? Or just cover it again and continue it ?

4) Then, do you have some advices to be concentrated in salat? I have so many difficulty to be concentrated .

1- Youmay walk more than three steps for doing Masah of your feet the only thing is that this walk should not be considered as your are walking for something else in between your wudhu because in wudhu Mwalat (continuity) must be maintained.
2- You May correct any mistake in Namaz before going to do another action.
3-if it happens unintentionally and you have corrected it then no need to repeat your namaz.
Make sure before namaz that your clothes must be according to shariayah rules.
4-The very first step to achieve concentration in Namaz is that one should know complete meaning of namaz if Arabic is not his/her language. So please try to learn all Surah , Zikr and Qunoot Tashahhud and Salam etc... meaning then try to start contraction step by step first try to have contraction while reciting Sura Hamd then later do same fore 2nd Sura and the later in the zikr of Ruku and Sajdah and so on..

I am always focusing in all the details when I pray.
And I always repeat my salat about 5 times.

1)My first doubt during my salat, is , the fact of passing gas , make my namaz baatil?

2) Also, Making mistakes in the makhraj of all the zikr, make my salat baatil?

3) Making mistakes when I say the sunnat Allahou Akbar and the sunnat salwat of my namaz make it baatil?

1) Yes passing gas can make namaz batil.
2) If a person can not learn the correct makhraj I mean he has neither access to anyone who could teach him or he has reached to old age that now he can’t learn anything then he can say whatever manner he is saying but for those who can learn the makhraj it’s not acceptable and as an obligatory precaution one should say all surah and zikr in correct Arabic manner.
3) Therse is one Allahu Akber we say at the time of Niyyat that we call Takbiraul Ahram must be said in a correct way and one salawat that we recite in tashahhud and salam is also wajib and must be said in correct way otherwise rest of the Allahu Akber and salawat is mMustahab so it can’t invalidate our salat either it has been said or not.

In Duas Yastasheer , I always read that Allah(swt) Is the succorer of those who have a pure heart. So I often ask this in my duas
But what does that really mean?
Is it the fact to dont have animosity ?

May I know some things to do to have pure heart? Or things to increase noor in our heart?

Yes it’s true and Quran mentions this clearly that the guidance is with Allah. even one of the best names amongst Asma ul Husna is Al-Hadi.
But what should we do to get His holy Guidance ?
We must rely on Allah in all our affairs we must leave all our wishes and submit to Allah then most surely He will not leave us to go on astray.
Also we must follow His command without any question that we call true obedience if we become true Servant of Allah He will give us power that none can have.

وَمَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّضِلٍّ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ
بِعَزِيزٍ ذِي انتِقَامٍ

And whom Allah guides, there is none that can lead him astray; is not Allah Mighty, the Lord of retribution?(39:37)

‎إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ

Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of the right way.(28:56)

Ladies ko kaisa hijab karna chahiye aur kya half coat pahine sakti hai?

Islamic Hijab ka matlab hai ke woman ke badan ka koi hissa sewaye face (jitna namaz main open rakhna zaroori hai) aur dono hath wrist tak.
Ab Hijab ke liye kiya pahna jaye iska koi restriction nahin hai balke har woh libas jo Aurat ke jism ko is tarah poshida kare ke uska badan ka shape uper se pata na chale usi ko sahi Hijab kahte hain.
Jahan tak half coat pahenne ki baat hai agar kisi ne Islamic Hijab kiya hua hai aur coat pahenna chahti hai to koi mushkil nahin hai basharte ke iski wajah se uske badan ki numaish na ho rahi ho.

Me ek girls se love karta hun but shaewat ke khatir nahi bass uske kirdar ke khatir aur collage me hi hai. Aur me usko pasand usliye karta hun ki muje jaisi quality chahiye waisi usme paye jati hai. Ayaa aisa koi amal jiski wajah se usse engagement hojaye? Usko bol bhi nahi sakta aur meri sagai bhi ho gaye hai aur wo pasand nahi q ki me jaisa chatah ] hun waisa nahi hai. Ab kya karu koi wazifa?

Aap apne waledain se khul kar baat kijia aur sari situation unke samne rakhiye. Baherhal apka koi bhi qadam kayee families ke rishton ko asarandaz kar sakta hai. Allah per bharosa karke jo irada kiya hai usmain apne buzurgon ki rai lijia. Apka faisla important hai. Ismain sharm ki baat nahin hai. Jahan tak Dua aur amal ki baat hai Allah per bharosa kijia aur jo aapko munasib lage usi hisab se iqdam kijia. Agar eh kam aapke haqq main behtar hoga to Allah aapke liye rasta khol dega.

I’m looking for a dua to pray to be protected from earthquake or other calamities. There have been many earthquakes & aftershocks in our area about 120 miles away and we’ve been feeling the large ones. Is there anything the I can recite as a daily regiment.

Every night before sleeping please recite the below Ayat from Chapter Fatir verse no 41

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا وَلَئِن زَالَتَا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّن بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

Surely Allah upholds the heavens and the earth lest they come to naught; and if they should come to naught, there Is none who can uphold them after Him; surely He is the Forbearing, the Forgiving.(35:41)

Dua :
Imam Ali (a.s) has said: place your right hand under you right side of the head and recite:
و:«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِی لِلَّهِ وَ عَلَی مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ وَ دِینِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَلَایَةِ مَنِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ کَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ یَشَأْ لَمْ یَکُنْ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلی‏ کُلِّ شَیْ‏ءٍ قَدِیرٌ»؛

Ek sawal tha ke jese Allah ne kaha hai ache amal karo, namaz pado , sabki madad kro to ye sab I know hamare hi faide ke liye hai aur issme hame hi acha lage ga yani yeh sab kam karne me hamehi maza aata hai.

To kisine abhi mujse yeh kaha ki nahi kam (ache kam jo islam me karne ko kahe hai aur bure jiski manai hai) us ko tum sirf Allah ne kaha hai is niyat se kar rahe ho to hi kabul. Baki tumhse yeh acha lagraha hai, aur tumhara ismehi faida hai yaha aur bade maut to yeh kabul nahi hai.

Kya yeh sahi hai?

Hame pata hai ke jo allahne kaha hai usme hamara hi faida hai to hum yeh, niyatse se kam kare to kya galat hai?

Zahir si baat hai Insan jab koi nek amal karta hai to use achcha feel hota hai. Yeh hamari tabiyat main hai aur ismain koi burayee nahin hai magar jo ismain mushkil aati hai woh yeh ke Insan ko ander se proud ka ahsas hone lagta hai. Bas yahi dangerous hai. Isi wajah se deen kahta hai koi bhi kam karo to uska credit apne Nafs ( khud ki zaat) ko mat do warna isse tumhare ander ghamand (proud) jayega. Balke kaho yeh sab Allah Ka karam tha jo maine anjam diya aur usi ke liye anjam diya. Ab na mujhe eh janna hai ke eh mere liye faidemand hai ya nahin. Maine to isliye anjam de raha hoon kion ke Allah ka hukm hai

Ha yeh to janta hu ke sab usi ka karam hai. Takat usne di.
Usi conditions usne paida ki aur madad bhi uski thi. But mera sawal yeh tha ki man me niyat yeh thi ke acha kam karna (jo allah ke hisab se acha hai) vo muje acha laga is liye kiya. Khuda ki khushnudi hai but shayad niyat vo nai thi.

Ya yeh sab shetani vasvasa lagta hai isme na, padu?

Vese agar normal asi niyat se kare to kabul to, hai na allah ke yaha!

Apke sawal main teen Baten mumkin hain
1- Yeh ke Insan ek kam kare aur woh kam bhi nek kam ho magar yeh sochkar ke main yeh kam kar raha hoon apne satisfaction ke liye ab yeh Allah ka hukm ho ya na ho mujhse nahin matlab.
2- Dosri soorat yeh ke main ek nek kam kar raha hoon ab iska jo sawab ho magar maine sirf aur sirf is liye kiya hai choonke yeh kam achcha hai isliye main kar raha hoon.
3- Ek ke Insan ek nek kam karta hai aur sirf aur sirf is niyat se ke choonke Allah be isko karne ka hukm diya hai.
Tini soorat main woh sawab ka mustaheq hai magar 3rd soorat main uska aur Allah ka rishta Abd aur Mabood ka ziyada mohkam nazar aata hai aur ek Allah ke khas bandon ka Usool raha hai ke woh koi bhi kam sirf aur sirf is niyat se karte they ke ismain Allah ki reza ( will) shamil ha aur Bas.

Koi bhi kaam kitna achcha kion na ho aapki niyat usko aur achcha bana sakti hai aur aapki niyat aapko us kam ke zariye Allah se aur Nazdeek kar sakti hai.
Isliye Niyyat ka khalis (sincere) hona bahot important role play karta hai.

Wajib hai ke lagakar 3 jummah ki namaz aap nahi chhod sakte?
"wajib " hai?

Namaz Juma Imam e Masoom ki absence main Wajib e Takhiri hai jiska matlab agar Juma namaz main sharik hua to Zohr namaz parhne ki zaroorat nahin hai.
Behtar eh hai ke Insan jan boojhkar juma tark na kare. Agar koi aisa reason hai ke nahin sharik ho sakta to Zohr ki namaz parega.

What to do if someone asks you about a past sin you committed? Should one lie or expose it?

It’s not allowed in any case to tell about your past sins to anybody.

So, is it okay to lie if anyone asks about previous sins?

No need to lie just you can say it’s my very personal issue and I can’t tell this to even my parent and wife. Then no need to answer yes or no, just say I don’t want to discuss anything on this issue.

How many people attended the Prophet's funeral?

Al-Hakim, moreover, remarks in his Mustadrak that:

"the Prophet kept confiding in 'Ali till the time of his death. Then he breathed his last."

Ibn al-Wardi points out that the persons who were responsible for giving the Prophet his funeral bath were:

"Ali, Abbas, Fadhl Qutham, Usamah and Shaqran. Abbas, Fadhl and Qutham turned the body. Usamah and Shaqran poured water, and Ali washed the body."

Tarikh al-Khamis

I have a friends' gathering coming up where I will have both male and female friends. Is it okay to go if the female friends are observing their hijab?

If there is no possibility of falling in Haram then it’s okay. But unnecessarily participation of woman and men as a mixed gathering just for having fun should be avoided.

Does the same rule apply if the gathering has some women with hijab and some without hijab?

Yes any gathering which has been organised just for amusement and not for any religious or educational purpose is not good and we should avoid to participate in it. Because our participation in such gathering is the sign that not only we are not against this type of gathering but we are one of the supporter of such gathering. Therefore better to avoid such mixed gathering where there are non Hijab woman are participation and it’s aim is nothing but just to have some fun or amusement but not for educational purpose.

Agar me WWE wrestling Sports youtube pe post karu to voh chale ga ne? Koi masla to nhi he na?

Are you a participant of WWE or it’s your business please let me know.

Me sirf youtube pe wwe sports ki videos upload karta hu. Koi masla to nhi he na?

Better to avoid spreading such false and baseless act and most importantly if it’s related to opposite sex them it’s haram to upload such videos. Such work has neither Islamic authentication nor social so better to avoid it. It’s not good.

Mujhe ek khwab ki tabeer janni hai. Bohut dino se preshan kar raha hai. Samajh nahi a raha kya matlab he iska.
Molana sahab me india se hu. India me ek jagha hai najafe hind dargahe alia jogipura. Yaha imame Ali a.s ka roza hai jaha khud Mola Ali a.s aye the . Uske bad yaha par unke roze ki tameer hue. Mola abbas a.s ka bhi roza hai . Bibi Fatema r.a ka bhi roza hai.
Berhal yaha par me apni ma ko le kar ae hue hu. Unko falij huwa tha right side me 3 sal ho chuke he. Unko yaha laye he take shifa yab ho sake.
Hame 40 din ho chuke he yaha or ham aye bhi the to sirf 40 din ke lye. Yahi pr ek nojwan ladka bhi he jo hazri me mubtila he. Usko kisi jin ki hazri ati he or usne hazri ke doran kuch meri walda se muttalik bate batae jo k bilkul sahi thi. Ek roz wo nojawan ladka aya or us din wo hazri me nahi tha. Usne ek khwab bataya apna jo ke mola Ali a.s ke roze se usko awaz ae thi ke wo khwab wo mujhe bta de.
Khwab ye he or isi ki tabeer janna he ke mola hame kya btana chaha rahe he.
Us ladke ne bataya ke khwab ke andar char kabooter he jo ki 2 brown colour ke mere hath me he. Ek batoor white colour ka mene us ladke ke hath me de dya jisne ye khwab dekha tha or ek kabootar zameen par tadap raha he yani patki kha raha he or uska upar ka hissa kal or niche ka dhad safed he

Meri Bahen Allah se Dua karta hoon be haqqe 14 Masoomin aapki Waleda ko Shifa mile. Jahan tak Maula Ali ke Jogipura main aane ki baat hai to aap kaise itne yaqin se kah sakti hain ke Maula Ali (a.s) wahan aaye? Aur Han agar kisi ne khawab dekha to main aapko bata doon ke hamare khawab ki koi hasiat nahin hoti na to us amal karna hamari sharyee zimmedari hai aur na akhlaqi. Sirf aur sirf Nabi aur Imam ke khawab shachche hote hain aur woh uske mutabiq amal kar sakte hain.
Rahi baat in rauzon ki jahan aap aayee hain. To choonke ek daur tha Aimmah ki Ziyarat ( unki haqiqi Qabr) per jana Momenin ke liye bahot mushkil tha is liye hamare buzurgon be india main Shabih e Mazaraat e Aimmah tameer karaya jahan log jayen aur namaz parhen, Imam ki Ziyarat parhen, Dua mange magar afsose ke aaj logon ne in shabih e mazaraat ko kamayee ka zariya bana rakha hai aur. Duniya bhar ke khurafat aur superstitions ka rewaj failaya hua hai. Isliye Khuda ke waste in sab chakkar main mat parhiye aur apni waleda ka koi achche Doctor aur physiotherapist se elaj karaiye aur sath main Allah se Dua mange aur Aimmah se tawassul kijia. Rewayat main hai ke jab hamare Imam Mareez hote they to Bibi Fatima Zahra ( a.s) se tawassul karte they aur Tabib ( Doctor) se dawa lete they ya khud Dawa lete they.
Isliye eh khawab aur uski tabir ko zahen se nikal dijia iski na koi Islamic haisiyat hai aur na is per amal karna aapki sharyee zimmedari hai.

Is plucking eyebrows allowed?

Yes it is allowed.

How to guide your children from the shaytan ages 14,boy 15 girl from influential friends that they make? A lot of parents are so busy with work to make money and don’t pay attention to their children and what they do. As I do not work I see many things that is not good for their hereafter, I cannot guide these many children but the influence is really overwhelming. I want to move from my city to make another move eventually out of western world to not lose them to shaytan for I do not have family that follow. As for my husband he has but always busy. Same thing- work both leave kids. Please help.

I accept your worry and really this is a big challenge in western countries to secure one’s faith and deen. But when we see Eastern countries either Gulf countries or Middle East or Indian sub continent, even these countries are also not that much safe and clean. Therefore the only solution is remaining for us to see the true guidance of Ahlul Bayt (a.s). If we see their life and guidance they always focus an building up true faith in Allah (swt) we Muslims have many things on the name of religion but we don’t have true faith and awareness of Islam. That is why we are losing our generation. In my view if we give time to our children and tell them openly about the situation and culture what we have in both east and west and this saying and whispering should continue till they reach to their age of puberty then inshallah Allah will help us and them too. But we should try to teach them the very basics of Islam for example never tell lie,never hurt others feelings, never do oppression, never forget hereafter and Allah.
Inshallah Allah will help as He is the best Helper. As Holy Quran says:
وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And Allah's is the East and the West, therefore, whither you turn, thither is Allah's purpose; surely Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.(2:115)

Aapse poochna tha Maghrib aur Isha kab qazza hoti hai?

Normal condition main Isha namaz ka aakhiri time aadhi raat se pahle tak hai example agar midnight 12 baje hai aur agar kisi ne Maghreb aur Isha namaz nahin parhi hai aur 4-5 minutes bache hain 12 bajne main to ab use chahiye ke pahle Isha ki namaz Adaa ki Niyat se parhe aur fir Maghreb ki namaz Qaza ki niyat se parhega.
Aur agar 11:50 pm per use yaad aata hai ke Maghreb aur Isha ki namaz nahin parhi hai to ab woh dono namaz Adaa ki Niyyat se parh sakta hai.

Kiya Maghrib aur Isha donoo Midnight k waqt qazza hoteen hain, ya Isha Fajr se pehle qazza hoti hai, aur Maghrib 12 bajay se pehle?

744. In normal circumstances, the prescribed time for Maghrib and Isha prayers is till midnight. But if forgetfulness, oversleeping or being in Hayz and similar unusual situations prevent one from performing the prayers till midnight, then for them the time will continue till Fajr sets in. In all the cases, Maghrib must be prayed before Isha, and if one contradicts their sequence purposely or knowingly, the Namaz will be void. However, if the time left over is just enough for Isha prayers to be offered within time, then Isha will precede Maghrib prayers.


748. If a person in normal circumstances does not offer Maghrib or Isha prayers till after midnight, he should, as an obligatory precaution, offer the prayers in question before the dawn prayers, without making a Niyyat of Ada (i.e. in time) or Qadha (i.e. after the lapse of time).

What is the Qaza time for Magrib and isha prayers if any one traveling and reach his location late night

After midnight, you do not need to mention adaa or qaza. However, if it was delayed till dawn, then it becomes qaza.

You are not supposed to let the prayer becomes qaza, even if you are in a plane.
You should try to pray normal prayer, but if you were not allowed, then you can pray while you are seated, and you do not need to remake it later.

The leader is baligh and so am I, but the rest of the people praying are not baligh. Does my salah count as jamaat still or do I have to pray separately?

Yes your Namaz is valid but in such situation as you said you have to stand just behind the Imam e Jama’at.

I also heard that in between every non-baligh there must be a baligh person, is this true?

This is only applicable when the child is so young otherwise if child is in the age where he can differentiate what is good and bad (i.e. if he is more that 10) then no need to keep such child in between two adults.

Istekhara kaise nikalte hai?
Pura method batayeh

Anyone can do Istekhara.
There are two most common methods one is doing istekhara with Tasbeeh if after reciting namaz and recite this dua:
????? ???????
??????????? ?????? ????????????? ?????????? ???????????????? ????????????? ???????????? ???? ???????? ??????????? ????????? ???????? ????? ???????? ?????????? ????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??????????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ????? ????? ???????? (????? ?? ??? ?? ?? ??? ???? ??? ????) ?????? ??? ??? ?????? ?????????? ??????????? ??????? ??????????? ??? ??????????? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ???????? ????? ????? ???????? ????? ??? ??? ?????? ?????????? ??????????? ??????? ??????????? ?????? ???????????? ??????? ????????? ??? ????????? ?????? ????? ????? ????????? ????

Then select some beads from the Tasbeeh if it came in odd numbers it means Ishtekhara is better in your favour and if beads comes in even numbers then it means one should not perform that act for which he has done Istekhara.
Another method after reciting dua open any page from the Holy Quran and at the right side page on the top whatever Ayat is written if it’s meaning shows positive command then It means Istekhara is better otherwise it’s not good.

3 tareeqa eh hai ke Insan 2 Rakat namaz jaise subh ki nama Ada karta hai parhe fir wahi dua jo uper likhi hai parhe aur Allah per itmenon rakhe woh agar jis kam ke liye Istekhara kar rahe hain hamare Haqq main hoga to uske asbaad muhaiyya kar dega aur agar Haqq main nahin hai to bhi kisi sabab ki bina per kam aage nahin barhega. Ho sakta hai Insan Khwab bhi dekhe jismain use ilham ho jaye ke is kam ka karna munasib hai ya nahin.

My date for khums is 13th Rajab but one of my relative need money for her eye operation so I want to advance my Khums date to help her. She is sadaat but married to non sadaat. Can I still give her Sehme Sadaat? Whether Sehme Imam part can also be given to her or do I need to take permission for it? Also I have lent money to friend but haven't got it back for many years now and I have not paid Khums on that, should I wait to get it back and then pay Khums as and when received or I should pay it now?

If you want to pay Khums before your due date I mean whatever date you have fixed for it then in this case you are only authorized to pay Khums on that money only which is your net saving on the date your want to release it.
As for as Sadaat concern if that lady is Sadaat despite she married with non Sadaat she can take Khums money according to her need.
You are not allowed to give Sahme Imam unless you get Permission from your own Marja or from his Representative (Wakeel) appointed by him.
For the money you have given to someone, before your due date will be considered as your expenditure. But if he returns it before your due date then you have to pay khums on it.

Is it allowed to get a tattoo of a cat outline on wrist ?

Since the tattoos are done under the skin, there is no problem. However, if they are considered zinat (adornment) in common view, she must cover them from non-mahram men.

Actually wanted to confirm that if its a cat's face outline , is it ok to pray as I have heard that if the animals print is there on the dress then you can't pray in the same dress and this will be a permanent tattoo

It’s not haram to pray namaz with the picture of any animal but it is makrooh. As far as tattoos are concerned while in itself it is allowed if for making or drawing it, it doesn’t involve a person in haram act. (e.g a non mahram makes it on the body of a non mahram etc.) But we should avoid such thing even if it’s a drawing or any animal’s picture.

Humne suna h Namaz behetreen exercise h, roza rakhne se sehat milti hai, Quran padhne s ankhon ki roshni badhti h. yeh sari baaten kisi raah chalte s nahi balki Alimo s Suni Hain.
But dekha ye h ki:
Namazi ko bi backpain or joint pain hota h
Roza rakhne k baad bhi saal k 12 mahine bimaar Hain log
Quran padhke bi ankhon p chasma hai.
Conclusion : ya to Alim ne jhut kaha hai. Unko sirf yeh kehna chahiye k yeh sab wajib h bas isliy anjaam den.
Jab yoga s puri health develop hosakti h to mai ghanto Namaz Quran or pure din roza q rakhun.
Wajib h padho warna sazaa milegii. Ajeeb zabardasti h.
Force krke pressure krke koi kaam ni kia jata

Please clear my doubts if possible.

Jahan tak Namaz, Roza aur Quran ki Tilawat se mutalliq faide ki baat hai to jo aapne zikr kiya hai woh ek bahot hi mamooli aur na qabile zikr faida hai aur yeh teeno cheezen is liye wajib qarar nahin payeen hain is liye ke iske eh faide hain jaisa ke aapne bayn farmaya hai.
Magar haan in teeno cheezon ka faida ho aapne suna hai aur yahan likha hai woh apni jagah sahi hai aur iska saboot bahot se Allah ke khalis aise bnde hain jiko eh faide mile hain aur milte hain. Agar yeh Khudayee taqat in ebadaton se na milti to kia aap koi insan aisa bata sakte hain jiske jism per hazaron Zakhm hon aur uski age 57 saal ho aur mahez kuch ghanton main 72 lash apne kandhon per utha kar laye aur uske baad behtareen jang bhi kare aur 3 din ka bhooka aur piyasa bhi ho. Haan agar Ahle bait (a.s) ki zaat na hoti to in ebadaton ke sahi faide aur hikmat ko koi insan nahin samajh pata.
Magar sawal yeh hai ke jis tarah ham namaz parhye hain aur Quran parhte hain aur roza rakhte hain uske baad hamari tawaqqo yeh hoti hai ke fauran mojeza ho jaye aur sab kuch badal jaye. Magar kia hamari ebadaton main utna khuloos hota hai warna jaisa ke aapne bataya Yoga to yoga kiya cheez hai agar insan us meditation aur tamarkuz e zahni se namaz adaa kare jaisa rewayaat main bataya gaya hai fir dekhiye uske jism ko kiya faida hota hai. Ham roza to rakhte hain magar iftar main kiya khate hain aur kitna khate hain aur kaise khate hain. Kabhi ghaur kijia to maloom hoga ke fir aise roze ka kiya faida. Biologically jab hamari body starvation main chali jati hai uske baad usko kis mewdar main aur kiya khana chahiye agar proper tariqe se manage kiya jaye fir dekhiye roze ka kiya faida hai.
Kitabe khuda Noor hai kion ke yeh Allah ka kalam hai magar fir wahi baat ke hamari dil siyah (black) hai thhek waise ho jaise kisi gande bartan main kitna bhi saf pani kion na rakha jaye woh paani ganda ho jayega. Agar insan ka dil paak ho to beshak Allah ka kalam uske dilo jaan per asar dalega fir aankh ki raushni ki kiya baat hai Insan ka poora wajoon enlightened ho jayega.
Ab bbat zabardasti ki:
Aapko maloom hai deen ke 2 Rukn hain
1- Usool e Deen
2- Furu e Deen
Har insan ko poora akhtiyar hai ke jab tak woh Usool e Deen (Fundaments of Religion) ko na samajh le us per koi zor zabardasti jaisi baat nahin hai. Usool ko samajhne ke liye Allah ne har Insaan ko Aql di hai aur jahan Insan ki Aql kaam na kar sake Uske liye usne Book aur Guide diye hain. Ab agar Insan 20-25 saal bhi tahqeeq aur research karta hai fir din ko manta hai to use poora akhtiyar hai ke woh aisa kare.
Ab agar Insan ne apni Aql aur Fahem se yeh maan liya ke Allah hai aur woh Just (Adil) hai to fir ab jo hukm Allah ne uske liye bataye hain uske manna hoga. Ise zabardasti nahin kahte balke system ko follow karna kahte hain. Aap agar Computer main systematic kaam na karen to aapka computer aapko sahi rasta nahin dikha sakega. Ya agar aap jis bhi country main rahte hain aur wahan ka passport aapne le rakha hai iska matlab indirectly aur directly aapne eh wada us country se kiya hai ke ab jo rules aur regulation aapke Mulk ka hoga use main manunga kiya aap is zabardasti kahte hain? Nahi yeh us system ka taqaza hai warna country collapse ho jayegi auar sabhi log free hogar jo marzi main aaye karne lagen.
Is liye jab insan ne apni aql aur intellect se Usool yaani Fundaments of religion ko man liya hai to ab use Namaz bhhi parhna chahiye aur roza bhi rakhna chaiye. Yahan Jannat aur jahannum ki koi baat hi nahin hai yeh ek Aqli masla hai.

Zakat mein aisi koi shart hai kya saal bhar agar use nahi kare to zakat Dena hoga ya use kare ya nahi to bhi Dena hoga? Kya yeh har saal nikalna hai ya ek baar nikal diye to uspe nahi nikalna hai?

Jo zakat ki amount banti hai woh Kya gold ki shakal mein hi dena hai ya woh amount de skte hai? Gold to pehle kharida tha ab zakat kharidi hui kimat pe nikale ya abhi jo rate chal raha hai. Pehle Jo rate pe kharida tha woh to yaad nahi.

Aap chahen To utna gold nikal den ya utne gold ki qeemat ada kar den aur rate wahi hoga jo aaj aapke gold ka rate market main hai.

Me and my wife have regularly sex relationship and as know we have to perform the big ghusl before we can fast and pray. My wife has long hair and can’t afford taking a shower and washing her hair every day. Is it permissible that she only wipes her hands with water on her hair or she have to take the shower?

It’s not allowed to remain unwashed once hair during Ghusl e Janabat( major ghusl). She/he must wash whole body.But there are many ways to make dry once hair by using dryer or at rapping with towel etc.

kya mai roze mai apne ghr pr super hero movie like superman, spiderman, ye sb movies dkh skta hoon. In movies m songs nahi hote hai.

Agar koi bhi movie jo vulgar nahin hai aur uske dekhte se Haram main parhne ka khatra nahin hai to dekh sakte hain.

Agar koi pesh Imam trust ko dekh kar apni namaz ko tabdil kare jamat namaz to kya us pesh imam k piche namaz pad sakte hai

Agar woh aisa khud kahte hain to fir no namaz sahi nahin hai warna sirf logon ke shak wa guman ki bina per koi hukm nahin jari hoga. Namaz sahi hai sirf Allah Dilon ke Raaz ko janta hai. Magar eh ke khud Insan apni zaban se apni is kamzori ka zikr kare.

Darya ka paani (jo namkeen hota hai) mutlaq me shumaar hoga ya muzaaf me. Aaya usse Wuzu Kiya jaa sakta hai?

Darya ka paani Mutlaq hai aur usse Wudhu aur Ghusl dono kiya ja sakta hai.

How could the supreme leader of Iran be celebrating a teenager who refused to compete against an Israeli chess player as if chess is not Harran to play. is he not endorsing the playing of chess among Shia Muslims?

The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei: If a person can determine that chess at the current time is not counted as gambling, there is no problem in making, buying, selling and playing it without betting. Also considering the above condition there is no problem with teaching it.

What is tahajjud?

It means awaking in night for invoking. When a period of night passes and a person has rested enough then now he should wake up and do worship of Allah and ask for his forgiveness from Allah (swt).

I want to know that does the soul of a person departs the body at the time of sleep and returns at the time of awakening?
Also, do the angels ask for permission of Allah before they bring back the soul to the person?

Yes it has been said in the tradition of Ma’soomin (a.s) that the sleep is the sister of death and our soul departs from our body at the time of sleep but this de attachment of the soul is short and person gets another life with the command of Allah while after death they separate from earth other for forever.

I have read and heard in the past : to the Eyes of Allah swt fasting is even greater than praying because a female that is in her period does not need to repay her Salaah but has to repay her fast. Was this a hadith an incident? I cant remember more details about this

Thanks for clarifying the source and details

Namaz is the only ebadat in Islam which connects us to Allah swt everyday five times. This speciality of namaz makes this worship very important and necessary for every Abd ( salve of Allah). But Fasting is one of the unique act of worship of Allah swt because in any worship either namaz or hajj of zakat etc person doesn’t face any physical trouble and all these ebadaat are being done in public so riya can be easily included to them but fasting even if a person eats and drink silently no one can be aware about that and a person can pretend that he/ she is fasting but for sake of Allah he doesn’t do that so sincerity of Niyat maintains well.That’s why Allah swt has said I my self will be the reward of Fasting. What does it mean that no one can imagine or compare the reward of Fasting what Allah swt has selected for His believer.

I am 41 years of age and I have so much mental and physical health issues and whatever prayers I do especially for the resolution of my health issues. It does not bear any result to me. But my health issues could soon kind of cripple my life and I have a responsibility of family too. I Am confused. Please recommend any prayer or wazifa to me through which I seek help from Allah


Just being 41 years old doesn’t mean that a person will not have diseases. It’s not a universal truth. Yes of course by passing age our body becomes weak and there are possibilities that person get soon sick. But same time as we are towards growing age our Aql I mean understanding power becomes more sharp and matured that is a positive thing by which we can do many things what we couldn’t do in our young age. As we know and it has psychologically approved that as much as we think about sickness we get more. As Imam Ali (a.s) said don’t go to the Doctor or Tabib frequently otherwise if you are not sick you will become sick.
If really you have some health issue I pray for May Allah give you complete Shifa but don’t think that others are fit and ok all of us we have some kinds of problem in our life and health issues.
As for as your liabilities concern don’t be worry about that just try to do your duties as Allah (s.w.t) has said in the Holy Quran :
????? ??????? ???????????? ?????? ??? ??????
And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for. (53:39)
Therefore leave your affairs to Allah (s.w.t) and just try your level best always results are with Allah (swt).
As for as Dua and Munajat and Zikr, please if possible recite Ziyarat e Aashura followed by 2 Rakats namaz and Hadiya it blessings to Imam E Zaman (ajtf) (try to recite Ziyarat e aashura every day at a specific time which is suitable for you but keep reciting daily on that particular time. Better to recite after subah namaz when the sun is rising under the open sky at least for 40 days). Inshallah your many problems will be solved. Secondly recites this zikr s as much as possible ( La Hawla wa la Quwata illa Billah).
Thirdly always try to be with wudhu.
Inshallah soon you will get change.

Mai business Karta hu
Khums nikalne ka Zara asaan tarika batayiye.
Maine saal ki Ek Date fix Kar rakhi hai (eg. 1st April).

Missal ke taur par,
Agar saal bhar me 1 lac ka kaam hua Aur usme 10 thousand profit hua ,

Toh Khums Kaise niklega.
Tafseer me bataye.

Khums profit per nahin balke aapki yearly net saving per niklega. Example ke taur per aapki yearly income 5 lacs hai jismain se aap ghar ke tamam expenditure nikal kar school fees medical travel etc ke baad bhi agar at the end of the year aapke pass 10000 INR bach jaye hain to ab is bachat ka 20% khums nikalna hoga yaani 10 thousands main se 2000 khums niklega.

Agar Christian se kapda dhulaya h to vo pak h ya nahi

Ji Ahle kitab Pak hain

1) Is it permissible to shake hands or hug with women who have reached advanced age?

2) Is it permissible to hug our Tayi ammi, Maami, Chachi?

Ans1) Yes there is no harm shaking hand with elderly woman as long as intention is not for lust.
Ans2) Tayi Ammi, Mami, Chachi all they are non mahram so the rule is same as for other non mahram woman.

So you mean that we can shake hands and hug without intentions of lust?

Another question, can we hug our older married female cousins?

You can apply the same criteria if for shaking hand if the person is much older and it’s some how necessary but if one can avoid its better as for as hugging concern it’s not allowed if he/he is non mahram.

It should not exceed more than 40 days but if anyone wants to maintain his cleanliness whenever he wants he can shave his pubic area.

As for as Nikah and marriage with other sects of Islam concern itself there is no matter and you are allowed but make sure intercaste marriage should not create any problem for your children in their faith in future.

Kia jume ke gusul ke bad wazu karna zaruri hai ya nahi

651. In Islam, several Ghusls are Mustahab. Some of them are listed below:
Ghusl-e-Jumuah: Its prescribed time is from Fajr to sunset, but it is better to perform it near Zuhr. If, however, a person does not perform it till noon, he can perform it till dusk without a Niyyat of either performing it on time or as Qadha. And if a person does not perform his Ghusl on Friday it is Mustahab that he should perform the Qadha of Ghusl on Saturday at any time between dawn and dusk. And if a person knows that it will not be possible for him to procure water for his Ghusl on Friday he can perform the Ghusl on Thursday with the Niyyat of Raja', that is, as a desirable act. And it is Mustahab to recite the following supplication while performing Friday Ghusl: 'Ash hadu an la ilaha il lal lahu wahdahu la sharika lah wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh. Alla humma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa Ali Muhammad waj'alni minat tawwabina waj'alni minal mutatahhirin. (I testify that there is none to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no associate and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his Progeny. And make me one of those who are repentant and pure). Taking baths on the 1st and 17th nights and in the earlier part of the 19th, 21st, 23rd nights and 24th night of the holy month of Ramadhan. Ghusl on Eidul Fitr day and Eidul Azha day. The time of this Ghusl is from Fajr up to sunset. It is, however, better to perform it before Eid prayers. Ghusl on the 8th and 9th of the month of Dhul-Hijj. As regards the bathing on the 9th of Dhul-Hijj it is better to perform it at noon-time. Ghusl by a person who has touched a dead body after it has been given Ghusl. Ghusl for Ihram (pilgrim's dress). Ghusl for entry into the haram of Makkah. Ghusl for entry into Makkah. Ghusl for visiting the holy Ka'bah. Ghusl for entry into the holy Ka'bah. Ghusl for slaughtering an animal and for shaving one's head (during pilgrimage). Ghusl for entry into Madinah, and its haram (sanctuary). Ghusl for entry into the Mosque of the holy Prophet. Ghusl at the time of bidding farewell to the sacred shrine of the holy Prophet. Ghusl for Mubahila (imprecation) with the enemy. Ghusl to a new-born child. Ghusl for Istakhara . Ghusl for offering Istisqa' - invocation for rains.


653. After having taken the Mustahab Ghusl listed in rule no. 651, one can perform acts (e.g. prayers) for which Wudhu is necessary. However, Ghusl performed with the Niyyat of 'Raja' do not not suffice for Wudhu (i.e. Wudhu has to be performed).

Is it okay to not do wudu after gusl e jumma?

It’s upto You. You can do it or not

I have left 13 roza of month of Ramazan of last year. Now I am going to Ziaraat e Karbla (Iraq) and Iran. In Mafati ul Jinan in Bab ul Ziarat it is mentioned about the important things to do before ziarat. One of them is to have Roza for 3 days before going to ziarat. Can I observe such roza (fast) as I left 13 Wajib Roza of Ramazan

Yes if you have your qaza roza remaining then you have to complete them before having mustahab roza but there is one way. You fast three days with the niyyat of your wajib left roza before going to ziyarat. Inshallah you will get both sawab of your mustahab fast and other side your three wajib fasts will also be done.

Is it obligatory to eat Sehri to observe wajib or mustahab roza? if I was not able to eat sehri and not able to awake on sehri for observing roza. When I wake up at 8:00am I have not eat anything yet can I perform niyat of wajib roza of my left roza of last ramadhan as well as mustahib roza before going to ziaraat.

Yes no doubt eating Sahri is mustahab not wajib so you can do your fastiong without having sahri. Also if you awake after fajr azan you can do niyat of your wajib left roza or Mustahab roza if you have not performed any act which invalidates your fast.

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) said: If anyone recites this in the prostration between Azaan and Iqamah ,Then Allah calls out “O my angels, I swear by my Might and Honor! I will put in his love in the hearts of the believers and awe in the hearts of the hypocrites.(Wasaekush Shia, Vol.5, Pg.400)
Then sit & recite recite this dua & ask for ones wishes as wishes sought between Adhan & iqamah are not rejected



اللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ قَلْبِي بَارّاً

O Allah, (please) make my heart dutiful,

You may now pray to Almighty Allah for any thing you wish and beseech Him to grant you whatever you need, because any supplication that is said between the adh¡n and Iq¡mah will not be rejected.

We are currently staying at UK and in the area where I am the only Shia. I am here with my office friends who are Kafir and my neighbours. Occasionally they send food cooked by themselves. We are dumping or just throwing them in bin as we can’t bury it. Is it any other way of utilising the food or it is fine if we keep dumping this way. As it is also food from Allah(swt).

You may give such food to the poor but if you don’t know about the food that it was touched by kafir or not then you can use it.
Please follow the Fatwa of Ayatullah Sistani in this concern as mentioned below:

1Question: Is it permissible to eat foods prepared by Christians and Jews?
Answer: Since the followers of the past revealed religions (that is, the Jews, the Christians and the Zoroastrians) are ritually pure, many of the problems concerning the status and permissibility of the food are resolved when we live in their midst. It becomes permissible for us as Muslims to eat from their food no matter whether they touched it with their wet hands or not as long as we do not know or are not sure that it consists of what is forbidden to us, like intoxicating drinks.

2Question: Is it permissible permissible to eat from non Ahlul Kitãb people?
Answer: A Muslim is allowed to eat the food prepared by a non-Muslim who is not from Ahlul Kitãb [for example, a Hindu or a Buddhist], provided that he does not know or is not sure that the non-Muslim touched the food with wetness; and provided that he does not know or is not sure that the food consists of what is forbidden to him like intoxicating drinks. As for meat, fat and their extracts, the food cooked by non-Muslims should not contain any of these. If the food contains meat and animal fat, he should be sure that they are halal .

What if we know and are sure that they have touched the food with wet hands.
The place where I stay is difficult to find an needy. And British doesn’t prefer Indian foods.

If anyone is sure about the impurity of food he/she is not allowed to consume that food. On the other hand if you are taking such food that has been touched by a kafir and you don’t have access to share it then don’t take their food because it would be Israf (wastage) if you throw it into the dustbin.

Yeah I don’t want to waste food. But how and what should I tell them to avoid taking it. As they might think something.

If it is possible please tell them truth rather than making any lame excuse because in that case you will commit unnecessary Gunah of telling lies. Also if you are also giving them food then please avoid it so they will also not give you.

Is hijama mustahab for ladies too? Any other information regarding hijama?

Yes in Islamic traditions it has been recommended in many places about hajamah. Hajama has many benefits but it must be done by professionals and yes ladies can also do hajama but not with male doctor.

Zakat kab wajib hoti hai. Uski kitni miqdaar hona chahiye gold ke Lea aur kitna hissa Dena hota hai.

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2294/

Agr yeh hisab se agr hum log calculate Kare to iska mtlb almost every one has to pay zakat On gold

Kyu ke 20 mitqal means 69.12 gms
Which is around 7 tola
Right? Which every individual is having now a days

Ji agar nisab 70 grams tak pahonch jata hai to Zakat dena parega.
Gold per zakat ke 2 nisab hain pahle eh ke agar gold 20 mithqal sharyee yaani 69 grams tak pahonch jaye To iska 1/40 zakat yaani 1.728 grams dena hoga
Aur Dosra eh ke agar nisab 24 mithqal ho jaye ya isee ziyada to ab Zakat 2.5% dena hoga magar agar 20-23 mithqal hota hai to wahi 1/40 hi zakat dena hogi.

Please help me understand, Quran very clearly says martyrs are alive and mustn’t be even called dead n they r living in abundance n joy. How come ppl mourn ‘the living’ grandson of our beloved prophet then? Isn’t it exactly opposite of what Quran says?

It’s crystal clear that Martyrs are alive and get near Allah their noble sustenance but Quranic definitions and traditions are different from our definitions and culture. We are still very far from Quranic teachings. What definition we do have for the death is not the same as Quran says. We think those who talk, those who eat and drink and those who walk are alive but the Quran sometimes calls such people as dead while those who are not near us and we can’t see them, Quran says they are alive.It means death and life is different in Quranic terminology from our own.
Quran says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Apostle when he calls you to that which gives you life; and know that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.(8:24)
As for grieving and crying on Imam Husain (a.s) we have many authentic Hadith in which it has been mentioned that Holy Prophet cried for Imam Husain many years before his martyrdom.
Also we don’t cry that why Imam died. Of course death is reality of life. We all die even Holy Prophet (pbuh) has died but we cry on oppression and non recognition of his place by the Muslims of his time. They committed a very shameful act with him and with his children and women.
Also there are many more reasons for the crying on Aba Abdillah (a.s). One of the very important reason is by crying we do declare that we are not with the tyrants and we refrain from their brutal acts. Also our hearts becomes soft with crying. That is a necessity of a believer that his heart must be soft. A believer can not be a stone hearted person.

I wanted to know the opinion of these three Ayatollahs A(Sistani, Khamenei and Fadlallah) on if a woman is allowed to go to war and fight the enemies of Islam since the first martyr in Islamic history was a woman that fought to protect the prophet Mohammad saws.

It’s not permitted in Islam for a woman to fight in a battle field with enemies face to face. And if we have some examples where few women came in the battle field was due to other reason but not to fight with the enemies. Also the first lady martyred in Islam was Lady Somaiyya the Mother of Ammar bin Yasir (r.a) but her martyrdom was not taken place in a battle field. She was killed in Mecca. Of course she was martyred in the way of Islam and Prophet (p.b.u.h) but not directly at defence for the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).

I would like to know if reciting tasbihs (any tasbih like alhamd, amma yujebul etc) innumerable times with no limit to the number being recited allowed? Will it have any adverse effect?

No there is no adverse effect for such zikr you may recite as much as you can.

کیا روز عاشورا سلام کرنا یا مصافحہ کرنا صحیح ہے؟ احادیث معصومین سے اس دن سلام کرنے کی ممانعت کیا ثابت ہے ؟


سلام کرنا مستحبات عمل میں سے ہے ، لہذا
اس جهت سے روز عاشورا کے دن سلام کرنا کراهت نہیں رکھتا ، مگر مصافحه کرنے سے متعلق بعض مراجع کی نظر میں اگر عرف عام میں اسکا منفی اثر لیا جاتا ہے تو اس طرح کے عمل کو ترک کرنا چاہیۓ۔اسلیۓ کہ مصافحه کرنا ایک طرح سے خوشی کا اظہار ہے لہذا ، ترک کرنا بہتر ہے.(تبریزی، جواد، استفتائات جدید، ج 1،ص 454، بی نا، قم، چاپ اول، بی تا.)
 
امام باقر(ع) سے روایت ہے۔ کسی نے سوال کیا روز عاشورا ھم ایک دوسرے کو کیسے تسلیت دیں؟ حضرت نے فرمایا: کہو : "أعظَمَ اللهُ اجورَنا بمُصابِنا بِالحُسَینِ، وَ جَعَلَنا و ایّاکُم مِنَ الطّالِبینَ بِثارِهِ مَع وَلیّهِ الامامِ المَهدیِّ مِن آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ(ع)"؛
[ طوسی، محمد بن الحسن، مصباح المتهجّد و سلاح المتعبّد، ص 772، فقه الشیعه، بیروت، چاپ اول،1411ق.]
 

Is it obligatory to perform Istabara or Istanjah before every wuzu?

It is not obligatory but recommended ( Mustahab) to do Istebra after having urination and performing wuzu. Actually being in the state of Wuzu every time is itself very much appreciated act and has lost of blessing for that person.

Is it necessary to recite Surah Muzzamil 365 times in the month of Safar for safety or we all momineens can recite it together once in the majlis .

It’s not obligatory. As for as recitation of Quran concern you may recite as much as you can.

My question is if I want to marry a girl as we are both baligh, can I marry her in as her parents are ready but my parents aren’t. And I surely know my parents will never accept her and can remove me from inheritance. As they consider their(bride) family to be enemy or not worthy of getting into relationships.

It’s very difficult to say that you don’t listen to your parents because as for as Shariat (Islamic laws) concern you are a baligh male so you can take your decision on your own but according to ethics you must follow your parents wish also. On the other side if girl with whom you wish to marry is a good and cultured religious girl then you can proceed this up to marriage.But make sure if you have doubt that it might be you will loose your parents mercy then please think about it. Please try to convince your parents anyhow otherwise if possible don’t go ahead in that relationship with the girl and tell her it’s not possible for you to leave your parents. Property is not the matter if it was that only I would recommend you to do so as you wish but loosing ones parents mercy is not an easy thing.

What is maatam and why we do maatam

Matam is a nature act. We are human being and we have emotions so whenever we feel extreme sorrow it’s an automatic act we sometimes cry and beat our chest and head. Being a shia we don’t have any grief bigger than the grief of Aba Abdillah Al - Husain a.s. Therefore we do Matam.

Can a non-syed man marry a syed woman.

Yes of course he can. There are many Marja who’s wives were Syedda.

What if he’s not Shia but she is

As long as Islamic rules concern permanent marriage can do taken place amongst Muslims. But in few conditions it not allowed to give a shia girl to a non Shia boy if there is a possibility that it would affect her and her children’s faith.

But wouldn’t the children share their father’s faith?

That’s why we should be careful to give our daughters to interfaith marriage.

Gel or Wax used for hair is it haram or we can use it?

There is no harm in using these materials but it it reaches to the skin of your head then for Masah (during Wuzu) and for Ghusl you have to clean oiliness from the skin.

Mera sawal ye h ki ak aurat kya sirf mard ki zarurto ko pura krne ke lye bni.shohar ki ghar ki zimmedari uske maa bap ki uske aulad ki kidmat ke lye hi bni h.

Aisa bilkul nahin hai Haan eh aur baat hai ke jahan tak jismani khwahishat ki baat hai to aisa nahin hai ke eh ek tarafa hai ismain dono ki zaroorat poori hoti hai. Magar Islam main Aurat ki kia position hai please read the below answer:

What the Holy Quran in surah At Tahreem Ayah no. 11 says, is enough to know the position of woman in Islam as in this particular ayat Quran says The example of Lady Asiya (a.s) as a role model for both men and woman.

Mere dst ka masla
Uski shaadi ho chuki hai aur uski wife ka irada tha abhi koi family planing ki nahi thi
Lakin unfortunately woh pragnent ho gai hai kya woh abortion kar sakti hai kya hamare yaha aisa koi time period hai k agar baccha nahi chaeye to use hatane ka

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلَاقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ إِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْئًا كَبِيرًا

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.(Al Isra17/31)
It really shameful and inhuman act if anyone kills his/her child either it is in the form of Foetus or it has grown but still not born.
There is a reason behind this that every owner of soul and life has his/her own destiny. Parents are only means to bring them in this world. But we are From Allah (Olny Allah is our creator) and we will go to Him. While in between life in this world is a test from Allah to show our ability. Therefore we have no right to kill any child while Doctors say he/she has any disability in his/her organ.
Of course in your friend’s case even there is no such issue neither child is disable nor mother has life threatening issue. Then how? What what basis he think to kill this child. More interesting there are many examples that there are many people who has done such brutal act thereafter they failed to have another baby due to the process of abortion.
So please tell him it’s murder of an innocent don’t do this. On the Day of Qiyamat this same child will as on what crime you killed me..... for such people there is Hell fire nothing else

Kya aap mujhe Zafar e jinn kay bare me riwayat me kaha likha hai wo bata dijiyea with reference

Waise to Zafar e Jinn ke bare main kisi mo’atbar kitab main sikri nahin hua hai magar Sheikh Sadooq (a.r) ne Imam Sadiq a.s se reawayat naql kiya hai jismain imam a.s farmate hain ke Aashura ke din Zafar e Jinn apne lashkar ke sath maidane Karbala main Imam ki nusrat ke liye aaye magar Imam Husain (a.s) ne unki madad se Inkar kar diya aur farmaya main khud chahoon to Yazid ke tamam Lashkar ko halat kar doon magar mujhe apni Hujjat un per tamam karni hai aur eh aur eh mere Allah ki tarah se Imtehan hai jise mujhe khud anjam dena hai.

اصل وجود شخصیتی به نام زعفر جنی در کتب معتبر اولیه ذکر نشده است، اما ملاقات امام حسین (ع) با جنیان و اعلام آمادگی آنان برای یاری امام (ع) در برخی از کتب روایی آمده است مثلاً: شیخ مفید به سند خود از امام صادق (ع ) این نکته را نقل کرده است: زمانی که امام حسین (ع) از مدینه حرکت کرد، گروهی از ملائکه برای پیشنهاد کمک خدمت آن حضرت آمدند و گروه هایی از مسلمانان و شیعیان جن برای کمک آمدند، اما حضرت در پاسخ جنیان فرمود: "خدا به شما جزای خیر دهد من مسئول کار خود هستم و محل و زمان قتل من نیز مشخص است. جنیان گفتند: اگر امر شما نبود همه دشمنان شما را می کشتیم. حضرت در پاسخ فرمود: ما بر این کار از شما تواناتریم، اما چنین نمی کنیم تا آنها که گمراه می شوند با اتمام حجت باشد و آنها که راه حق را می پذیرند با آگاهی و دلیل آشکار باشد". [1] همچنین امام صادق (ع) فرمودند: "از پدرم شنیدم که مى

Can we do Ghusl janabath or have intercourse with wife in the month of Mohharam and safar is that allowed in our shariyath or prohibited

As for as Islamic Shariya concern one can have sexual relation with his spouse any time other than Holy month of Ramzan during day time or any time if anyone is fasting. Or a woman is not in the state
Hayz. But there is an issue related to ethics which says that you must follow some ethics also. Now being a shia how is it possible that one can enjoy the way he wishes while we are commiserating the martyrdom of Imam Husain a.s. Do anyone can have relation with his wife while he has just lost his father or mother and have not done their Chaliswan or 40th but I’ll say again this in not Haram to have sex with his wife in Moharram if his conscience allows him.

It is obvious that if anyone have sex then it is wajib to do Ghusl. Because without Ghusl you can’t do anything neither pray namaz nor touch the Quran.

Under what conditions is nikkah mutah allowed and with who?

First of all we should understand that Mutah is not just only for removing ones sexual desire. Secondly the main condition for Mutah is that if the girl is virgin she must have permission from her guardian either her father or her grandfather. Secondly she must be either Muslim or Ahle Kitab( Jews or Christian) thirdly if a person is married in permanent marriage then he has to ask for permission from his wife.

My question is if i want to join jamat namaz how to join if I’m late and namaz has already started?

If you want to join Jamat namaz and you are sure that Imam Jamat is in either 1st or 2nd Rakat then you have to just say Takbeer (Allahu Akber) and join the namaz but if the namaz is zohr or Asr where imam Jamat recites the surah silently and it’s not clear for you whether he is in 1st or 2nd or 3rd then you have to wait until he (she) goes to Ruku then you join but if it’s 1st or 2nd Rakat and after finishing Surah Hamd if he says loudly Bismillah and going to recite another surah then you can join at that time. Even you can join if he/she recited Qunoot.
Only if it’s 3rd or 4th Rakat then you must join in Ruku unless you are sure that you can finish at least Sura Hamd while he/she recited Tasbeehat e Arab then you can join in standing position too.

Kya farishte galti karte to unke naam bataiye jinohne galti ki ho.

Farishte Masoom hain woh hargiz ghalati nahin kar sakte Haan unse tarke Awla ho sakta hai. Jaisa ke Fitrus naam ke Farishte ke bare main kaha jata hai. Magar khud Fitrus wali reawayat bahot ziyada mustanad nahin hai.

I had a couple of question about istikhara.

Q1: Can anyone perform Istikhara?
Q2: How does someone perform Istikhara?
Q3: Do you have to do what the answer says?

Yes anyone can do Istekhara.
There are two most common methods one is doing istekhara with Tasbeeh if after reciting salamat and recite this dua:
دعای استخاره
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ (ضرورت را تان را در این قسمت ذکر کنید) خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
Then select some beads from the Tasbeeh if it came in odd numbers it means Ishtekhara is better in your favour and if beads comes in even numbers then it means one should not perform that act for which he has done Istekhara.
Another method after reciting dua open any page from the Holy Quran and at the right side page on the top whatever Ayat is written if it’s meaning shows positive command then It means Istekhara is better otherwise it’s not good.
3 tareeqa eh hai ke Insan 2 Rakat namaz jaise subh ki nama Ada karta hai parhe fir wahi dua jo uper likhi hai parhe aur Allah per itmenon rakhe woh agar jis kam ke liye Istekhara kar rahe hain hamare Haqq main hoga to uske asbaad muhaiyya kar dega aur agar Haqq main nahin hai to bhi kisi sabab ki bina per kam aage nahin barhega. Ho sakta hai Insan Khwab bhi dekhe jismain use ilham ho jaye ke is kam ka karna munasib hai ya nahin.

Are there any subjects that I can’t do Istikhara for or can i do istikhara for everything in my life?

Wherever you can take your decision easily without any confusion no need to do Istekhara but all doors are closed for you and now you stuck at one point then in such situation you can take help by doing Istekhara.

ہمارے علما و کے بیچ اتنی نااتفاقی کیوں ہے ؟

اسکا سبسے اہم سبس دنیا پرستی اور بصیرت کی کمی ہے۔ اگر اللہ تعالی کہ علاوہ کسی اور کی خشنودی حاصل کی جائیگی تو اسکا نتیجہ آپسی اختلاف کی ہی شکل میں سامنے آئیگا۔

Is it true that crying for matters which relate to this world (loss of job etc.) is makrooh? Therefore should a man hold back his tears if he for example feels like crying in front of his wife? Because I've heard from some people that we should only cry in front of Allah?

Only in Namaz we should not cry for worldly things but other than that there is no such restriction. Yes it depends how valuable thing a person has lost for example if someone has lost his mobile phone and crying in front of people then it’s not worth but imagine if a person has lost his entire property now naturally he will cry. But, it’s better we should not cry for worldly things because may be its an exam and test from Allah (swt) then we should be patient and agree to the Will of Allah (swt) because we don’t know what mysteries are hidden behind that incident.

Salatul Layl is call as namaz e shab also is one of the highly recommended Mustahab prayer it was wajib for Prophet but for rest of his ummah it is mustahab and in that prayer at last one that we call salatul Witr it has recommended we ask Dua or Maghferat or forgiveness for 40 people that is why Imam Husain (a.s) asked Bibi Zainab that don’t forget me in your dua during Salatul Layl.

The time for praying Salatul-Layl is from midnight (midnight is reckoned as the time which is exactly half the time between sunset and the actual dawn) to the time of Adhan for Fajr prayers. However, it can be prayed at anytime after Isha prayers but it is better to pray during the last part of the night near to the time of Fajr prayers. If it is not possible to pray after midnight or before Fajr, then it can be recited in the morning or any part of the day with the niyyah (intention) of Qadha. It is better to recite with the niyyah of Qadha during the day time than to pray in the early part of the night. Salatul-Layl is made up of Eleven Rak’ats.

People say we shia do shirk! coz we give the attributes of Allah swt to Ahlulbayt a.s like they come on every farshe Aza so they are Omni present and like they listen our prayers and they see us so they r all seeing and hearing…
Please explain in detail

They don’t know the definition of “shirk”, but the fact is different they don’t know the lofty position of Ahlulbayt (a.s) near Allah (swt).
Shirk means if anyone believes any Authority other than Allah (swt) parallel to Him otherwise we believe that Allah is the Supreme Authority and all power belongs to him and He could give power and authority to whom He wishes is not a shirk. And Alhlul bait (a.s) have many more power than anyone can imagine. Their power and authority is beyond our thought.

Sajda(prostration) is only for Allah Subhanahu ta’la! No doubt. But we do sajda on rauzae Mubarak of Aimmae masumeen a.s it doesn't mean that we assume them god it's an bowing down for respect. Is it wrong?is it shirk?
Please explain in detail about this!

Yes no doubt that Sajdah (prostration) should be only for Allah (swt) none other than Him. But when we go to the Holy shrine of Aimmah (a.s) we do sajdah in front of their Zareeh or at the entrance with this Niyyat that O’ Allah thanks for giving us this opportunity to visit and show our tributes to our holy Imams if this is the Intention then there is no harm in doing such type of Sajdah. But if any one for God forsake does Sajdah to any of Imam’s Zareeh for Imam then this is totally invalid and Shirk.
Hence if doing sajdah at the shrine of Imam even with the intention of that, this is my Sajdah to Allah only causes any misconceptions or misunderstanding amongst the other sects of Islam that we Shia do sajdah of our Imams then it’s better to avoid doing so.

Mere per mai abhi zakhm laga hua hai usme se khoon nikalta jaa raha hai toh mujhe namaz padhni chahie ya nahi?

Namaz To har hal main Parhna wajib hai. Jahan tak khoon nikalne ki baat hai to eh koi badi baat nahin use Roja ja sakta hai.

Please advise me that we can't take bath on Ashura ? I have heard this from somebody.

It’s not true,we can take bath on the Day of Aashura but if it’s not compulsory a person to have bath (I mean like wajib Ghusl ) then it’s better to avoid it even we should refrain to apply oil in our hair and comb it. In short we should avoid any kind of adornment on the day of Aashura. But make sure these all are not Haram.

I want to know that, is it allowed to do sehri in najis condition?

Yes you can do but if the najasat is for example a person had wet dream then it is makrooh to eat or drink in that state and for that it has recommended that person has to do wudhu at least before eating or drinking if he/she can’t manage Ghusl.
But make sure in the Holy month of Ramadan one can’t remain in the state of (janabat) till adhan e subh. He/she must do Ghusl before adhan otherwise his/her fast will not be valid and he/she has to pay both Qadha and Kaffara for that day fast.

This rule apply for every najasat? For e.g. My paint got najis from drainage (gutters and all) so it is permissible to take ghusl in the morning?

There are only 4 wajib Ghusls for men
1- Ghusl e Janabat
2- Ghusl e Maiyyet
3-Ghusl Mass e Maiyyet
4- Ghusl due to Nazr/Qasam/Ahad
Other than that others najasat or najis things do not required Ghusl.

Hame kisine kaha hai ke jumme ke din kapde dhone se karza chadta hai aur normal dino mei kale kapde pehanne se ghar mei pareshani aur gurbat ati hai. Kya yeh do chize sahi hai. Bolne wale k mutabik yeh rasulAllah ke kaul hai per humne kabhi sunne nahi hai isliye aapse pucha.

Aisa hargiz nahin hai balke Jume ke din behtar hai Momin achche saf libas pahne aur khushbu lagaye. Dosri baat Imam Husain aur dosre Aimmah ki shahadat per kale kapde pahenne ke liye Ulema ne achcha bataya hai. Haan iske alawa aam dino main kale kapde pahen kar namaz padta makrooh hai magar kala kapda pahenne ki manahi nahin hai.

Am I allowed to put Sadaka from my loan money (which has interest)? Even if it is just 25 cents per week? If not would reading Quran be a type of Sadaka?

Your loan money is your own money if you are living in non Islamic country you take loan but it depends in which condition you have taken the loan
Ayatullah Sistani (may Allah protect him) says that: “: Taking an interest based loan is not permissible except for when it is very urgent; it is necessary that he should do so with the intention that it is a transaction without return, even if he knows that he will end up paying the capital as well as the interest. And he should not do so with the intention of getting the loan with the condition of paying interest.”
Yes Sadaqah can be given in the from of things also reciting Quran but if it is due upon you to give money as sadaqah then you have to pay cash.

Mai ye puchra hun k sunni aashur k din roza rkhte ha mere ek dost maine un s baat k is baare m vo mujhse bole k quran s koe daleel sabit kro k aashur ka roza jaiz nae ha. Agr koe daleel ha is baare m to mai unko dkha doon. or vo log aisa q krte roza q rkhte hai.

Pahli baat unse poochiye ke Quran main kia 10 Moharram ke din Roza rakhne ka koi Hukm hai kia jo usse na sakhne ke liye Dalil pesh ki jaye.
Dosri baat eh cheez Quran se bilkul sabit hai ke Kisi Fasiq aur Fajir hukmraan ki pairvi karna aise hi hai jaise Allah ke dushman ki pairvi karna hai to phir kion Sunni Hazraat Muawia ki pairvi karte hain aur agar Muawia unke liye fasiq nahin tha To kia Yazid bhi fasiq nahin tha jisko Muawia ne apni zindagi main eh jante hue ke woh kaisa hai apna janasheen bana diya isko woh Quran se sabit kar den fir ham Aashur ko roza na rakhna Quran se sabit kar denge.
Zahir si baat hai jo kaam kisi ki tauheen ke liye kiya jaye usko dosron ke zariye follow karna shariat main jayez nahin hai. Aur 10 Moharram ko Umar Sa’ad ne Imam Husain (a.s) ke Qatl per shukr karne ke liye Roza rakha tha. Zahir hai Sunni brothers ko Imam Hisain (a.s) ki qadro manzilat ka andaza To hoga hi. Lehaza jo kam Nawasa e Rasool ke Qatl per jashn ke taur per anjam diya gaya ho usko kaise follow kar sakte hain.

Mai Muhammad al-Mahdi as k bare m sb janna chahta hoon history maine kabhi inki hadis nae suni.

A Short Biography of Imam Mahdi (aj)
Hazrat Imam Mahdi (aj) is the twelfth and last of the chain of the Purified Imams (as) and the divine successors. He was born at the time of dawn, on Friday the 15th of Shaban 255 A.H. in the city of Samarrah1.

His respected father is Imam Hasan al-Askari (as). His beloved mother is Janab al-Nargis Khatoon (ra). She was the descendant of the Caesar of Rome from her father's side and from her mother's side she had descended from shamoon the vicegerant of Hazrat Isa (as).2

This exalted personality has the same name and kunniyat (agnomen) as the Holy Prophet (S). His titles are Mahdi, Hujjat, Qaem, Montazer, Sahibuzzaman and Khalaf al-saleh. His most famous honourific however is Al-Mahdi (aj).3

Ibn Khallikaan writes; "His well-known title is Hujjat. The shias know him by the titles, Montazar, Qaem and Mahdi"4

The great scholar Mohaddith al-Noori has collected 182 titles of Imam Mahdi (aj) from the Islamic texts. Each of these titles signify each of his virtuous qualities.5

The tyrant Abbasid rulers were aware of the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (S). That the son of Imam Hasan al-Askari (as) by the name of Mahdi will appear to remove all kinds of corruption and tyranny; hence they planned to eliminate the child when he is bom. Due to this the birth of Imam Mahdi (aj) was kept a secret like that of Hazrat Ibrahim (as). So much so that except for the most trusted of the shias and his own family, no one knew of the existence of Hazrat (as). In spite of this whenever there was an opportunity, Imam Hasan al-Askari (as) showed his son to his trustworthy followers; that in future they may follow him. This was in order that the shias may remain firm upon the right path, and not be led astray. A servant Abu Ghanim says:

"Abu Muhammad (as) has a son whose name is Muhammad." On the third day of his birth he brought him before his companions and said:

"After me he is your Master of the affair, he is my successor, he is the same 'Qaem', who is awaited by alt When the earth will be fraught with injustice and oppression then he will reappear and fill the earth with justice and righteousness."6

The early years of his life were spent in the usual way. When he was in his fifth year, he lost his respected father.7

After this tragic event the responsibility of guiding the shias was transferred upon him. At this time, Hazrat (as) possessed all the qualities and the divine knowledge that was bestowed upon the previous Imams (as), by the Almighty. In the same way as Hazrat Yahya (as) in his childhood and Hazrat Isa (as) in his infancy was favoured with the divine office of Prophethood by Allah.8

Although all the Imams (as) were holding the divine office of wilayat, the efforts of the enemies to eliminate the twelfth Imam (as) were maximum. Hence Imam az-Zaman (as) was entrusted to ghaibat and being away from the sight of people, he had to fulfill all the duties of an Imam.

It is said that the concealed life of Hazrat Mahdi (aj) is not something extraordinary. Rather, in the life of so many Prophets (as) and even Imams (as) it is seen, that they were at some time, in concealment from the people. The Holy Quran records the concealment of various prophets (as) like Hazrat Ibrahim (as)9, Hazrat Musa (as)10 and Hazrat Isa (as)11.

The Holy Prophet (S) and the Imams (as) had pointed out to the people the imminent occultation of their last proof (Imam Mahdi-aj), so that no doubt or misunderstanding should remain, regarding this problem.

The occultation (Ghaibat) of the twelfth Imam consists of two phases: one is Ghaibat al-Sughra (The lesser occultation) and the second is Ghaibat al-Kubra (The greater occultation). Imam Ja’far as Sadiq (as) said:

'There are two occultations for Qaem. One is short and the other prolonged. In the short occultation only the special shias will know of his whereabouts. And in the longer occultation only his trustworthy servants will know where he is"12

According to the well-known reports, the lesser occultation (ghaibat al-sugra) commenced from the year of his Imamat in 260 A.H and continued for 69 years. Some of the scholars like Shaykh Mufeed and Syed Mohsin Amin Amili maintain that ghaibat al-sugra began right from the time of his birth.13

Because, even in those early years, Hazrat (aj) was concealed from the common people. According to this method, the period of ghaibat al-sugra comes to seventy four years.

During the period of ghaibat al-sugra. Imam Mahdi (aj) himself appointed his deputies from among the righteous shias. Four of them succeeded each other and continued to fulfill the duty of intermediaries. These four personalities conveyed the questions and problems to Imam (aj) and brought back the Imam's (aj) answers for the people. The first of these deputies was Janab Abu Amroo Usman Bin Saeed Amri. Before this he was a representative of Imam Hasan al Askari (as)14

Shaykh Tusi writes: “On the fortieth day the shias were sitting in the company of Imam Hasan al-Askari (as), when Imam Askari (as) wished that they recognise his Hujyat after him..... Suddenly a handsome child was brought before them. He resembled Abu Muhammad (as).

Then Imam al-Askari (as) said: "He is your Imam after me. And my successor upon you. Obey him, and do not go astray after me (after my death), otherwise your religion shall be destroyed and you will be annihilated. Know that, after today you shall not see him, even if you spend your whole life for it. Hence, accept what Usman tells you, obey his commands and listen to what he says. Because he is the representative of your Imam and holds the responsibility.15

After the death of Usman bin Saeed, his pious son, Muhammad bin Usman succeeded his father upon the post of the deputyship of Imam az-Zaman (aj).16

Shaikh Tusi has recorded the letters sent by Imam Hasan al Askari (as) and Imam Mahdi (aj) to Usman bin Saeed and his son Abu Jafar Muhammad ibne Usman for the shias. These letters consists of commands, prohibitions and replies to the questions of the shias.17

Muhammad ibne Usman passed away from this world at the end of Jamadi-ul-Awwal in the year 304 or 305 A.H.18

During the time of his illness, as he laid on the sick-bed, the shias and their children came and surrounded him. They asked: "If something happens, whom should we consult instead of you?" He answered, "This Abul Qasim Husayn ibn Ruh ibne Bahr Nawbakhti is successor. And he is the intermediary between you and the Master affair (Imam Mahdi- aj), and his agent. He is trustworthy and reliable. Consult him, and in case of important matters, rely upon him. I have been ordered to announce this, and I have announced it"19

Husain Ibn Ruh Nawbakhti was. one of the agents of Muhammad ibn Usman in Baghdad. He had been working closely with him for a long time. These agents used to be in contact with the people and when ordered they handed over the goods to them20. Husayn ibn Ruh died in Shaban 326 A.H21

The last safir was Abul Hasan Ali Ibn Muhammad Seymoori. He became the deputy of Imam Mahdi (aj) according to the will of Husain ibn Ruh. He died after three years on the 15th of Shaban 329 A.H.22

The graves (tombs) of these four respected deputies (Nawwab al -Arba, as they are commonly known) are situated in Baghdad.23

The most sensitive and crucial period of ghaibat al-sugra was when Ali Ibn Mohammad died. Because till his death the people were is contact with Imam az-Zaman (aj) through him. After his death, it was the commencement of Ghaibat al-Kubra.

Six days before his death, Ali ibn Muhammad Seymoori received a communication from Imam az-Zaman (aj):

"...so be prepared, but appoint no one in your place, because from the day of your death, the period of my major occupation (Gaibatui Kubra) will begin. Henceforth, no one will see me, unless and until Allah makes me appear. My reappearance will take place after a very long time, when the world will be full of injustice and violence".24

Ultimately, the shining sun of the divine proof went behind the curtain of Ghaibat, completely. And the period of communication with Hazrat (through Nawab al-Arba) came to an end. In spite of this (his Ghaibat) Hazrat Mahdi (aj) is the Imam of the time and Imam of the world. He is the Divine Proof. Even though his person may be hidden from our eyes but his commands are clear.

Amirul Momineen Ali (as) announced from his pulpit at Kufa: "Even if the person of the Divine Proof is hidden while he guides the people, his knowledge and manners will be clear for them to follow"25

It is clear that the knowledge and practice of Imam Asr (as) is impeccable like the Quran. As was the sunnat of the Holy Prophet (S). It is obligatory for the people of faith (muslims) to act upon the Quran and sunnat, and to refrain from what they prohibit. The Holy Prophet (S) said:

"I leave behind two weighty things among you: The Book of Allah and my Progeny, my Ahlul Bayt If you adhere to those two you shall not go astray. And know that these two shall not separate till they meet me at Hauz (Kauthar)"26

During the period of Ghaibat al-Kubra, when it is not possible to establish communication with Imam az-Zaman (as) at will, the people have been ordered to follow the true teachings of the Quran and Ahlul Bayt (as) through the pious and religious scholars and the just jurists. The people must follow them to know what obligations they are supposed to fulfill.

Imam as-Sadiq (as):

"And among jurists (Fuqaha) are those who protect their selves (from sins) guard their religion, defy their carnal desires and are obedient to their master. It is incumbent upon the people to follow them. Such characteristics are found only in a few of them (Shias) and not all"27.

The jurists issue decrees for the people and explain to them truth about faith. They endeavour to fulfill the exalted duty of preparing the grounds for the reappearance of their master, Hazrat Mahdi (aj). So that by the coming of Hazrat (as) the Islamic faith may strengthen and that he may fill the earth with justice and equity.

Meri wife Aur mere parents ki banti nahi hai. Dono ki soch alag alag hai. Dono apni apni jagah par sahi hai. Wife alag hone ko bol rahi hai. Mujhe kya Karna chahiye. Husband ke huqooq bataye.

Islam main Bete (son) ke Huqooq main se eh hai ke woh apne waledain ki ita’at kare har us kam main jo shariat ke against na ho. Aur unke kharj ko bardasht kare agar woh is layeq nahin hain ke apna kharj utha saken.
Ab agar aapke alag rahne se unki dilaazari hoti hai aur unko takleef hoti hai to aisa kaam Mat kijia jisse unko takleef ho.
Jahan tak wife aur husband ke rights ki baat hai to Husband ka pahle haqq eh hai ke woh apni wife ke tamam kharj ko poora kare aur use na zahni takleef de aur na jismani. Iske baad agar Shuhar aisa karta hai to wife per wajib hai ke woh apne shauhar ki ita’at kare aur uska har amal main sath de.
Lehaza aapke issue main aap jahan tak ho sake apne Parents ko aur apni wife dono ko convince Karen aur ek mutual understanding maintain karen.
Kuch akhlaqi bate sirf aapse related hai ke apni aur apni wife ki sari baten apne Parents se share na karen aur isi tarah apne Parents ki baten apni wife se. Bahot si baton ko nazar andaz karen aur dono ke beech connecting link ki tarah rahen.

This morning I burnt incense while fasting – I thought it would be ok. The incense was 2 meters away. I realized that it may not be okay to burn incense so I quickly put it off as I felt the sense of smell. I did not see smoke except when I lit it. Now I am concerned whether my fast is in order or not.

Your fast is in order. Any fragrance smelling directly to it while fasting is makrooh and do not invalidate the fast.

Agar hum Imam ki zamanat mein de k hath mein dhaga bane toh koi problem hai ??

Shariat ke according har woh kam jo shariat ke naam kiya jaye agar usse woh kaam na Sunnat e Rasool hai na Sunnat Aimmah magar usse Din ki shakl main koi tabdeeli nahi aati to use anjam dene main koi mushkil nahin hai.

1) How do i explain to my shia classmates that its good to fast in Muharram?

2) And how is tahajjud prayer prayed? The one at 12am. I want to know how many raka's and what surah to recite?

1) Fasting on 1st day of Muharram (Al-Muraqibat – Mirza Tabrisi) is like spending the entire year in good actions; there is protection until following year and if one dies within the year, he/she secures a place in Janna. In Nafasul Mahamoon (Shaykh Abbas Qummi) quotes: Imam Ridha (pbuh) asks his companion, Ar Rayyan ibn Shabeeb – “Are you fasting?” He answers no. Imam then says: “Yabna Shabeeb! This is the day when Zakariyya at 75 years prayed to his Rabb (3:38) for a child. Allah accepts his dua and commands angel to go to his mihraab and announce the good news of a son Yahya (3:39). One who fasts and invokes Allah He will accept as the dua of Zakariyya”
It is mustahab to fast on the first nine days of the month.

2) The time for praying Salatul-Layl is from midnight (midnight is reckoned as the time which is exactly half the time between sunset and the actual dawn) to the time of Adhan for Fajr prayers. However, it can be prayed at anytime after Isha prayers but it is better to pray during the last part of the night near to the time of Fajr prayers. If it is not possible to pray after midnight or before Fajr, then it can be recited in the morning or any part of the day with the niyyah (intention) of Qadha. It is better to recite with the niyyah of Qadha during the day time than to pray in the early part of the night. 

Salatul-Layl is made up of Eleven Rak’ats.


Why do we whisper during dhur and asr salah?

Does it matter if one recite surah ikhlas in 1st or 2nd rakat, for example the 2nd surah of 1st rakat is surah tawheed and second surah of second rakat is surah qadr or vice versa?

Why do we have to recite salah in arabic?

Why do we raise our hands when we say “allahu akbar”?

Why does the muazzin cover his ear with his hand when reciting adhan?

Why do people point “finger” when reciting a ziyarah after salah while others put their palm on their chest?

Is it true you are not supposed to have sleeves longer then your wrists and pants longer then your ankles? Or is that only for salafies?

Is blowing on hot food makrooh? And why?

Why do you sheiks do sujood on two thurbahs like one on top of another?

Turbans of sheik color does it matter, i know black is for sayyeds and white for regular sheiks but can a sheik wear a pink blue or red or green or any other color turban?

How does one choose his merja?

Why do we whisper during dhur and asr salah?
Amswer: According to one of the tradition from the Imam Redha (a.s) he says that all prayers which we pray at night we should recite loudly inorder to those who dont know that the time of prayer has set in can join but during day time its very clear for every one. also according to one of the hadis where Holy Prophet (saww) says that when he went on Meraj he saw that in few prayers Angels were also following him and Allah (swt) because of importance of those has instructed to diffenciate those one by reciting few of them loudly and few silently. Also if all the reasons are not enought to understand one thing is very clear that we as a slave of Allah should follow His command whiout knowing the real reason of that particular act.

Does it matter if one recite surah ikhlas in 1st or 2nd rakat, for example the 2nd surah of 1st rakat is surah tawheed and second surah of second rakat is surah qadr or vice versa?
Answer: There is no matter if we recite either Sura Ikhlas in fisrt Rakat after Sura Hamd. According to reawayat it is mustahab to recite one sura Ikhlas at least once in each rakat and it is makrooh to leave reciting sura Ikhlas in our namaz.

Why do we have to recite salah in arabic?
Why do we raise our hands when we say “allahu akbar”?
Answer: We know well that any language if you translate it into another lanuguage we can not express the same maening and context what has said in original language. for eg in the zikr Ruku we say "Subhana Rabbi al Adhim e wa behamdehi" and in Zikr of Sajda we say "Subhana Rabbi al A'ala wa behamdehi" now what is the difference between "Adhim" and "A'ala" as in english we say Great and High but it is not exactly what it is meant in Arabic. also Itself Sura Hamd what context it has in Arabic no one can translate it into other language as it has said in Arabic. Therefore it is wajib to recite Namaz in Arabic.
Also Islam wants to maintain Unity amongst all Muslims and if every person comes and start reciting Namaz in his own language they will most surely do something less or more but if they recite it in Arabic they will maintain what Holy Prophet (sawt) has said and recited it exactly.

Why does the muazzin cover his ear with his hand when reciting adhan?
Answer: Its just to raise hos voice up to loud and nothing. also he can listten his own voice and can check as it is good or not. Also raising ones hand up is a sign that he is calling people and aslo showing that what he is saying is having a graet meaning.

Why do people point “finger” when reciting a ziyarah after salah while others put their palm on their chest?
Answer: According to reawayat of 6 th Imam if a person can not go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain to his grave he can go on top of his house or in a open area under the sky and pointing his index finger towards the Karbala and recites the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s).

However, according to Ihtiyat Wajib, a man is not allowed to look at those parts of the body that are normally covered.

A dog had sort of climbed on me while I was sitting and licked my face. What is the proper method for cleaning myself to pray again?

It is sufficient to wash it once. However, if the water is little, it is necessary to rid it of the water by wringing.

I have been struggling with a sin for quite some time now, but have had little success in quitting. It leaves me wondering why Allah SWT has not granted me a way out of it. I've struggled for years and have tried so many different things, but nothing has worked. Am I doing something wrong on my part that may block me from receiving Allah's help? I'm confused as to why He has not granted me the ability to stop sinning?

لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ

For his sake there are angels following one another, before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's commandment; surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition; and when Allah intends evil to a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector.(13:11)
There is a famous saying:
“God helps those who help themselves.”
Allah (swt) has given us an intellect which differentiate us from other animals. If I ask anyone to jump from a high building will he be able to do so?? While he knows how to jump. But he will never do such silly mistakes why because it’s Cristal clear for him that he would either die or get severe injuries. Same way we Human do Gunah frequently because we don’t know the consequences of that Gunah. That is why Quran is warning us in every step of our life. That what is wrong and what is right.
Make sure a Human remains Human as long as he listens his inner voice (zameer) and when his desires get dominant over his intellect he becomes a wild animal.
That is why Allah has given us an intellect to follow His path in the light of Quran.
Strengthen your will power inshallah you will be able to get victory over your desires.

I am currently in search of a wife who is religious, mature, compatible with me, and hijab wearing. I have been strict on searching for only hijab wearing spouses, is this ok? Should I not be so strict on hijab as long as she is religious and modest otherwise?

The criteria for marriage in Islam is that the boy or girl but be religious.Now it must be cleared that what does it mean by Religious?A religious person is the one who follows the religion with his/her own free will and restrict to the rituals set by religion. Therefore anyone to whom we can call a religious person must be practicing Muslim. Now if a person is called a practicing Muslim it means he/she follows all obligations (wajib) and restraint from impermissible act( Haram) this includes Hijab also ( for women) and Modesty for both ( men &women). One of the major impacts of the modesty is that women must follow the hijab and men should lower his gaze while having contact with non mahram women.
If your criteria for marriage is that woman must follow the Hojab it means she must have modesty and it’s a good thing.
But in general normally people they say if you are a modest person then it’s enough and no need to have a traditional hijab i mean wearing veil (for women) that is totally a wrong concept because we have to follow the practice which has been set by Shariya (Islamic laws) also just wearing hijab is not enough for any women if she is unfortunately not having modesty.
Therefore for any women and men modesty is the most required thing with practical conditions ie women must follow Hijab while men should lower their gaze .

If one fears that they may sin by looking at pornography what precautions can they take to prevent it especially in situations when they are alone or when they are going to sleep?

It’s true that loneliness is the best possible time for Shiatan to misguide ourselves. The best way to refrain from any sin we shouldn’t create or go in way where there is any possibility to be trapped by Shaitan.Also as much possible do not open any link or site which might have an offensive and vulgar scene or photo.
Do not go to sleep just after having your dinner I mean full stomach and before sleeping empty your bladder. Do not go to your bed unless you fall asleep. Avoid to be alone at your home. If your family members are going out and they aren’t call you then you also go somewhere else. Avoid such friends who is involved in watching porn films.
Remember Allah as much as possible and chant and Zikr when you feel that are going towards such evil activity.

The one thing i dont get is in Islam circumsission HAS to happen, so does that mean allah made a male penis imperfect’

Regarding this question I would like to tell you that the Human body in comparison to many animals seems very weak for example Dogs have 6 times more smelling power than any Human. It doesn’t mean that Humans are created incomplete. So many things we need according to our lifestyle or nature if humans get same smelling power what dogs have it would be very difficult to live because same time God has given us intellect also so we can’t bear some bad smell in our surroundings. Now if a human circumcision their additional skin in order to keep themselves more clean and free from many bacterial infections then it doesn’t mean that this is the only way and if they don’t do that then they will not live in comfort. Like if we don’t cut our nails and don’t be careful about them then make sure it will automatically broken but not in a way how nicely and properly we cut it. Then it will create a problem in our daily life. If you see Islamic Shariya you will find circumcision is only wajib for those when they do Hajj while rest it is not written that doing circumcision is wajib like offering Salah. That is why you don’t find that it is must for those who accepts Islam in their adult age they must do circumcision also.
Rest Allah knows better.

This is a frequently referred to surah in An-nisa:
“…..the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half”

If allah is completely just, why does a female get less inherience

According to Islamic Shariya girl inherits from her father property and boys too. When this girl marries and becomes a wife then in case of her husband’s death she inherits from her Husband too but what about a boy who can inherit from his father but the property his wife has from her father in that he has no share unless his wife gives him from her own wish.
Now please refer this verdict no 2740 and 2742 from the Islamic laws of Ayatullah Sistani.
So it’s not unfair if you calculate properly the shares of a girls.But because the society where do we live normally girls are ignored from their share but it is not an Islamic Shariya.

1) If Allah (swt) is all-knowing and knows everything, including future, why does he test us? Isn’t testing only when you don’t know something?

2) God is omnipotent and omniscient, so it is said he created human in a perfect form. Than why is it thatEVERY single male has to undergo circumsission that changes anatomy, as if God didn’t know how to finish the job.

Yes no doubt that Allah(swt) has knowledge over everything.
But we can say that Allah’s knowledge is two types.
First of all He knows all about his creations regarding their future happenings also about their nature that how will they deal the affairs fall in their life. Now one thing should be noted here that this knowledge of Allah about His creations doesn’t create any change in the Nature of His creations.
Quran says in Chapter At Rom verses 30
So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah . That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
Therefore we can say that Allah knowledge doesn’t alter the nature (Fitrat) of His creations.
Secondly His He has two types of determination
One is that when He wishes anything it would be. Secondly He has given a choice to His creations that the way they will live and do Deeds in this world their destiny will be settled.
Now about Allah Test
Yes He knows everything but then why He tests us because He wants to prove that He has given us an intellect. Also any test proves our ability this is very Human Nature that after test he improves his affairs and thirdly after test we can’t blame that we could do this or that but we had no choice so on the Day of Judgement Allah will tell us I have given you many ways to strengthen your will power but we gave up and had no patience.
Quran say after every grief there is an easy.
About circumcision it is also refers that we can change our life according to the need of nature. There are many examples can be set in this regard like why do we use pace maker when our heart doesn’t work properly. Why do we do Kidney transplant. Why do we cut our Nails why do we cut our Hairs? Why do we take bath after sweating.etc....
Hope I have given you clear answer
Allah knows better.

Can a wife help her husband in mastarbution till the time of the ejaculation.
Is it allowed?

Yes if she is agreed that man can ejaculate outside but man should not be involved himself in masturbation.

So you mean if a man himself does it and his wife helps him in arousing him,It is not permissable??

Man himself can not do anything which lead to ejaculation outside the woman’s private part but it can be done by a woman for her husband even if he ejaculates outside.

What should we do,When we have to be clean shaved because of the rule of the company where we are working.It is compulsary to be clean shaved on job.Should we not join such company or what can we do.Will it be a sin to be clean shaved because of the rules of the company?

Shaving the beard —whose prohibition is based on obligatory precaution— would not become permissible just by the desire to get a job with these companies.

My son has enrolled in club for swimming..but there are ladies also in the pool at times…wht shld he do?

He has to select other days when women are not allowed to come. Swimming is not wajib because of that anyone can fall in a haram act. It’s a good exercise but it doesn’t mean that we have to do it anyway as securing our modesty is wajib and looking to non mahram is haram.

Jab me kisi nameharam se chat ya bat karta hu to muje doubt hota he ke mere par gusl vajib hua ya nahi to me kya karu ??

Pahli bat to Kisi an Mahram Se bat karne main is bat Ka poora Khayal rakhna chahiye me hamari Babar Islamic shariat me daire main ho aur koi na jayez guftugu na ho kioke eh haram hai.

In 2016 I came back home from Arbaeen ziyarat of Iraq and I found a ladies black chaador in my luggage during unpacking at home. I tried finding out if it belonged to someone in my group but couldn't find the owner. I used the chador on farsh e aza for majalis few times to cover the room floor. Meanwhile I asked again after a few months to whom it belongs. Can you please tell me if I should continue using it for farsh e aza or should I give it in charity as I am not sure if I will find the owner now.

As you have tried to find to real owner of Thad Chaddar so now when it is not possible it for to return it the its owner You may please give Sadaqah equal to that Chaddar’s cost to poor the use it. Or you may give the same chaddar to the poor on the behalf of its real owner.

Kindly please educate me on this reptile which was said in fiqhihi (zubdatul Ahkaam) of Ayatullah Imam khumaini(r.a) that ghusul janabah is compulsory upon you when you kill it and it’s tail was cut off?

Ghusl e Janabat can’t be taken after killing any animal particularly a reptile.
It is fact that whenever any Marja e Taqlid wants to give any fatwa as a wajib then he must have seen an authentic Rewayat (tradition from Holy Prophet or Aimmah a.s) otherwise just for Mustahab act they follow any rewayat. As for as Killing reptile ( Marmoolak in Farsi or Soosmar) the rewayat has come are weak in their chain of narrations and if Ghusl has been recommended after killing them is just because of cleanliness that you may consider as a simple bath but there is no Ghusl e janabat has been recommended after killing a reptile.
There are some traditions has come regarding reptile that they are the animals who got “Muskh” therefore after killing them you may do Ghusl but these rewayat are not much authentic and we have tradition from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that without any genuine reason none can kill any animal or insect.

what is the meaning of (Muskh)

Muskh means “ changing Human in the shape of an animal as punishment from Allah (s.w.t) due their severe Gunah.

I am a worker and I was told by my boss to report myself early in the morning which suppose to be 45 minutes before fajr prayers. Please can I perform fajr before the real time of fajr prayers

No you cannot offer any prayer before the actual time has not yet been set up.

How do we preform ruku and sajda properly?

The Holy Prophet (S) also said,

“The prayer of one who performs Rukū’ and as-Sajda properly goes up in a condition of illumination and splendour. The doors of heaven open wide to accept it and the Prayer says, ‘You have protected me, may Allah (S.w.T.) protect you. The angels say, ‘Mercy and Grace of Allah be on the one who has performed this prayer. But if the prayer is not performed properly it rises up in a state of darkness and the door of heaven slams on it and the prayer says, ‘You have wasted me, may Allah waste you.’ And the Prayer is thrown at his face.

The correct way to perform Ruku is a person should keep his both palms on his both knees and press it towards outside and bend his back up 90 degree.
For sajdah he should keep seven body parts properly on the ground ( forehead, 2 palms, 2 knees and 2 toes. All should touch the ground clearly. Mustahab is the ones tip of nose should also touches the ground. For Sajdah the place must be Dry and Pak it should not be uphill from the ground where a persons toes touched the ground more than the height of four fingers. Sajda place should not be as much as soft that when a person put his forehead it goes inside.

My son asked me a question that accept prophet Muhhamed (s.a) is Allah was sending farista to other prophets and imams as well? as we knows about Allah has reveled Quran through jannabe Jibriel. I gave him example of prophet Yusuf that he was also getting help from Allah through farista as he had seen that movie. Is there anything else I can explain him to give satisfactory answer, please.

Definition of wahy
To be more precise in understanding the Islamic perspective on divine revelation or word of God, it is necessary to become acquainted with the term “wahy”. In Arabic, the term “wahy” literally means giving a message quickly and secretly, whether by gesture, in a written form, or by inspiration.

In the Qur’an, the term “wahy” or one of its cognates occurs seventy-eight times and is used in a broad sense. Except for five, all of these cases pertain to God as giver of the message.

Therefore, the first thing that comes to mind is that the concept is used primarily for divine revelation in the Qur’an, though there is also a more general sense of conveying any message. Reflecting on the verses in which the term or one of its cognates is used to refer to the divine act of giving messages, we can classify them according to who the recipients are into the following categories:

a. The Prophet Muhammad: He is the paradigmatic recipient of wahy as mentioned in the Qur’an and nearly half of the cases in which the term wahy or its cognates are used in the Qur’an relate to him.

b. The Prophets, of whom Moses is more frequently mentioned.

c. The disciples of Jesus or mother of Moses

d. Angels

e. The bee

f. The heavens.

As we see, wahy is not restricted to the Prophets. Rather it is used in a more general sense to refer to different sorts of guidance given by God to His creatures, and since divine guidance is all- inclusive, His wahy reaches out to all forms of creation. The Qur’an teaches that God, the Wise, has provided His creation with guidance so that they may achieve their proportionate perfection.

The first form of Divine guidance is an inner and instinctive instruction, which is innate in all beings. It is from Him that each created thing derived its form and nature, including such free will and power as that of man. God has granted everything all the means and opportunities of development. The Qur’an says:

‘(Pharaoh) said: "Who then, O Moses, is the Lord of you two?" He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature and further gave (it) guidance.’ (20:49 & 50)

‘Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High Who hath created and further given order and proportion; Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance.’ (87:1-3)

The second form of Divine guidance is where God sends the Prophets and divine books for man to learn the purpose of his creation and how he can realise his true potentials. The Prophets inform man of what is outside the realms of his knowledge and experience, explain the consequences of his actions to him, confirm and support what man can understand by his reason and serve as a role model for him to follow.

Thus, human beings enjoy two sorts of guidance: the general guidance (al-hidāyat al- ‘āmmah), which is shared by all creatures and the special guidance (al-hidāyat al-khāssah), which is exclusive to those beings that have reason and free will. This is where God communicates to human beings through the Prophets and is called “wahy” by Muslim theologians.

Having understood this, the occurrences of divine wahy in the Qur’an can now be classified according to the nature of the messages, into the following categories:

Natural Instinct: We always admire the wonderful achievements of small insects, such as the bees, the ants, the spiders and so forth.The same is true about the laws of nature, such as gravity, the movement of atoms, planets, etc. This is all due to a general guidance, provided by God.

Inspiration: Sometimes God suggests certain ideas or courses of action to some people who are not necessarily prophets.For example, we read in the Qur’an that in order to protect Moses God inspired (awhaynā) his mother to put the baby in the river. This inspiration was not convened through an angel and the mother of Moses was not a prophet. Therefore, there is also a kind of general inspiration for all people. For example, the Qur'an tells us that God has inspired mankind with discernment between virtues and vices.

Prophetic revelation: This is exclusive to the Prophets and this has been referred to in the Qur’an more than seventy times. For example:

‘Thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an so that you may warn the Mother of Cities (Mecca) and all around her and warn (them) of the Day of Assembly of which there is no doubt: (when) some will be in the Paradise and some in the Blazing Fire.’ (42:7)

‘We relate unto you, the most beautiful stories, in that We revealed to you this Qur'an: before this you too were among those who knew it not.’ (12:3)

This is the highest and the most sophisticated form of divine communication. Since the advent of Islam, the Qur’an introduced itself, and Muslims have considered the Qur’an, as an instance of this phenomenon.

I am a muslim woman and I wish to start my own clothing business as well as youtube.

I wish to start youtube to display my opinion and raise subjects affecting the society.

I wear a hijab and I wish to open a desigber clothing business which would only consist of modest clothing.

Is there something wrong in this?

There is no problem as long as it doesn’t lead to immodesty.

It would not be considered as a Gheebat
Isko gheebat ki category main nahin rakh sakte magar kisi ke bare main negative thinking ko Sooy-e-zann kahte hai jo ke Akhlaqi aitbar se sahi nahin hai. Aur eh aage chalkar Insan ke liye dosri mushkilat kharhi kar sakta hai.

Can we Apply Alcohol on navel as in medical purpose
is it Allowed ?and do the body of the person will get najis?

According to the Ayatullah Sistani (h.a) All Alcoholic liquors and beverages which intoxicate a person, are najis and on the basis of recommended precaution everything which is originally liquid and intoxicates a person is Najis.
But all kinds of industrial alcohol used for painting doors, windows, tables, chairs etc. are Pak. ( Mas’ala no 112 & 113)
As long as its medical purpose you may apply but if its non industrial alcohol then it would make the area najis where it has been applied.

I want to know that, is it allowed to do sehri in najis condition?

Yes you can do but if the najasat is for example a person had wet dream then it is makrooh to eat or drink in that state and for that it has recommended that person has to do wudhu at least before eating or drinking if he/she can’t manage Ghusl.
But make sure in the Holy month of Ramadan one can’t remain in the state of (janabat) till adhan e subh. He/she must do Ghusl before adhan otherwise his/her fast will not be valid and he/she has to pay both Qadha and Kaffara for that day fast.

this rule apply for every najasat? For e.g. My paint got najis from drainage (gutters and all) so it is permissable to take ghusl in the morning?

There are only 4 wajib Ghusls for men
1- Ghusl e Janabat
2- Ghusl e Maiyyet
3-Ghusl Mass e Maiyyet
4- Ghusl due to Nazr/Qasam/Ahad
Other than that others najasat or najis things do not required Ghusl.

Aaj kal broiler chicken ko jo khana khilatey hai us me bohot si cheezey mix hoti hai shayad najis aur haraam cheezey bhi… Agar un chickens ko teen din paak khana khilaya jaye to kya woh khaney laayak hogi?

jaisa ke aapne khud kaha shayad usmain najis cheezen milate hain. agar yaqeen nahin hai to sirf guman ki bina per hurmat ka qayel nahin hua ja sakta.

Aur agar yaqeen ho to?

As for as Istebra ( cleaning an animal and bird by giving them Halal food) concern, it is restricted to human refuse only. In other case as you mentioned if you are sure then it’s better to avoid such meat. Therefore if broiler chicken has been fed with food which was mixed with haram food ingredient then it’s better to avoid to use it otherwise it’s just like many halal meat birds they eat insects which is haram but their meat is not considered as haram as long as they should not start feeding Human refuse.

Someone in my family has got a habit of reading or watching something on mobile during eating. He just cannot eat without doing that but if i can show him that Islam abhors it he will change. So please let me know any hadees etc to show it is not good to do things while eating

We should give respect to the rizq which Allah has provided us therefore doing something else at the food table while eating shows our negligence to the food also showing disrespect to whom who has prepared the food. Because it is good Akhlaq that we should praise to whom who has spent hours and prepared food for us.
There is certain etiquette to be observed at the dining table. Starting with the name of Allah; eating with the right hand; making small morsels; sitting longer at the table; chewing the food well; thanking Allah after the food; washing the fruits and vegetables before eating; not eating after satisfying the appetite; not over eating; not looking at the faces of others while eating; not taking away the food from others who are sitting at the table; and tasting the salt at the beginning and the end of the dinner.

Allah has given us nobility I meant Human are the best creation of Allah amongst all his creatures. But how human became the best creation of Allah ?? The answer is just because of our intellect which Allah has given us. But same time what is the role of this intellect many people have this intellect but they are worsts that animals so we have to find the exact role of this intellect then we can say we are the best creation of Allah. The very role of this intellect is to differentiate between wrong and right. And this ability will not need to become a doctor or engineer. Every Human has this ability inside him or her only he/she has to listen his/her inner voice that is our instinct. So my dear don’t worry if you have not achieved your educational goal anyhow this doesn’t mean that the world has come to an end. There are many ways to achieve the goal of life. Education is not only restricted to find a good job and finish. Education can inbuilt our ability.By education we can realise the reality of world. In this world whatever we have not only the contribution of engineers only but there are many people who served this world so don’t think that you have failed in your life. Your life has just begun so please use this life to serve your family first and then humanity.

Is red wine allowed in Islam . and what about non alcoholic beer is that allowed kindly give reference to this please

The drink that is made from barley and called "Fuqa' in Arabic is definitely forbidden and ritually impure as an obligatory precaution. This drink is not intoxicant normally but it makes one feel tipsy; that is a state of slight drunkenness caused apparently by low percentage of alcohol in the liquid. Therefore, if a drink is produced alcohol free in the first place and it is not called "Fuqa" (beer), there is no problem, or else, it is forbidden even if alcohol is separated from it. God knows best!
Beer - Question & Answer - The Official Website of the Office of His Eminence Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Husseini Al-Sistani

I am studying psychology. Which requires clinical practice in close rooms. Is it allowed to practice clinical psychology where a patient is na-mahram and also in a room where sometimes the discussion does range to sex life of the patient?

If it’s possible to treat your female non mahram patient without touching then you are not allowed to touch but if its really necessary then you may use gloves and if it comes the condition that you have examine private parts then you have to use mirror also if your discussion requires sexual advices then then there must not be any indication or intention of lust then it’s ok. Mostly if possible you may call any attendant with your patient to avoid any unwanted situation. Jazakallah

Is it within our rules of modesty for a girl age 12 or more to play ice hockey? If she joins a girls team but coach is male. Im asking bc they are wearing all the hockey gear and helmet.

As long as 12 years girl concern as she has already reached to her age of bulugh (puberty) according to Islamic Shariya therefore all rules of hijab and modesty will be applied for her too.

Namaz tamam ebadaton mein buland maqam rakhti hai.aur eh tanha ebadat hai jismain insan ko kisi khas mashaqqat darkar nahin hai. Misal ke taur per Roza woh ebadi amal hai jismain insan ko kam se kam bhookh aur pyas bardasht karna hi hai.Lehaza Namaz ki pabandi ahem hai aur hamare tamam aamal ki qabooliyat Namaz per mauqoof hai. Ek example de raha hoon shayad aapko Namaz ko qayem karne main madadgar sabit ho. Farm kijia agar koi hamara aziz ya dost hamen koi nayaab tohfa gift kare aur ham us tohfe ko le kar koi radde Amal yaani reaction zahir na karen for example apni khushi zahir na karen aur na hi usse kuch kahen ke aapka bahot shukria aapne zahmat kiya waghairah....aisi soorat main ek saqil Insan hamre bare main kiya rai qayem karega?? Shayad yahi ke main bahot dry nature ka insan hoon ya bahot ghamandi hoon ya hamko Tameez aur Tahzeeb nahin aati waghairah... isliye ke Duniya ka dastoor yahi hai ke Jab koi hamen kuch gift kare to kam se kam hamen uska Shukriya to adaa karna hi chahiye.
Namaz kuch nahin hai bas Allah ki bargah main uski nematon ka shukriya hai jise ham 5 bar kam Azhar kam Anjam dete hain. Allah me sehat di Salamati di aur ham raat bhar aaram karne ke baad Subah zinda aur salamat uth gaye jabke har Rox na jane kitne log raat ko sote hain aur hamesha ke liye so jate hain. To kia ab itni bari Nemat milne ke baad hamara itna bhi farz nahin banta ke ham apni zindagi ka 2 minutes Allah ki bargah main kharj karen aur 2 Rakat Namaz adaa karen???? Isi tarah Din ka schedule salamati ke sath poora karne ke baad hamara farz nahin ke 3-4 minutes ke liye Us Mabood ko yaad karen jisne din ki Raushni main hamen beshumar nematain ata ki aur hamare gunah ko logon per posheeda rakha.
Bas jab bhi aapko Namaz ki adaiyegi main kotahi Mahsoos ho ek minute ke liye apne aapko mirror main dekhiye aur fir apne aap se sawal kijia eh badan eh shaklo soorat hamen Allah be aata kiya aur woh bhi beghair mange to kiya hamara farz nahin ke ham uska shukriya ada karen.

agar kisi ko ye pata na ho ki uska koi roza qaza hai to kya wo mustahab roze rakh sakta hai??

Pahle use apne wajib Qaza roze rakhne chahiye aur woh mustahab roze nahin rakh sakta. Magar ek misconception hai use door kar doon farz kijia kisi ka wajib Roza bacha hai aur 18 Zilhijja (roze ghadeer) agar woh chahta hai Roza rakhe to use dono sawab milega wajib ka bhi aur Mustahab ka bhi magar woh ab is roze ko beech main tor nahin sakta.

Agree…agar use pata nahi hai ki uska koi roza kaza baki hai…is surat me kya masle hai???

Agar use ilm hai ke uska koi Qaza Roza baqi nahin hai to woh mustahab roze rakh sakta hai.

aksar log sote waqt sar par hair oil lagate hai… to kya subah (fajr) ki Namaz ke liye wuzu kar sakte hai ya sar ko dhona zaruri hai?

Agar subah tak oil sir ki skin per baqi hai to utna hissa jitna Masah ke liye zaroori hai us per se oil ko remove karna zaroori hai magar dhona zaroori nahin hai iske liye kapda ya tissue paper bhi use kiya ja sakta hai.

Mujhe aapse ye puchna hai ki kia mola ali ka ye kawl hai ki shaid,zaafran or saad e kufi ko ham wazan karke milake khane se zehan tez hota hai


Is this tradition that is mentioned in Bihar al-anwar in which Imam Ali (a.s) said: “if one mixtures saffron and So’d Kufi and honey together and have it each day, the one will get a memory that all people think he/she is a magician” authentic? Can you please tell me the quantity of that combination?

However, such a tradition (hadith) which is distributed to Imam Ali (a.s) has been mentioned in Bihar al-Anwar and Misbah Kaf’ami, but since the tradition has not any Sanad[i] and it is not mentioned in other traditional book we cannot certainly give our opinion about it. In this regard, it is deserved to inquire the traditional medicine expertise' point of view.

[i] . Sanad, the chain of narration that is the primary elements of a hadith. The sanad is the information provided regarding the route by which the matn has been reached.
Detailed Answer
To answer this question it should be said that this tradition is mentioned in Bihar al-Anwar.[1] In which it is quoted from the book of Misbah Kaf’ami.[2] But, according to our investigations, this Hadith has not any appropriate authentication throughout the other traditional resources. This Hadith is also distributed to Imam Ali (a.s) in the same book, but it is completely mursal (“hurried”) and hasn’t any reliable references too.
Therefore, however we ought not to reject it completely but it has not much value to be relied on according to the principle of Shia narrative theory.
This tradition is as follows:
"عَنْ عَلِیٍّ ع مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الزَّعْفَرَانِ الْخَالِصِ جُزْءاً وَ مِنَ السُّعْدِ جُزْءاً وَ یُضَافُ إِلَیْهِمَا عَسَلًا وَ یُشْرَبُ مِنْهُ مِثْقَالَیْنِ فِی کُلِّ یَوْمٍ فَإِنَّهُ یُتَخَوَّفُ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحِفْظِ أَنْ یَکُونَ سَاحِرا"
If one prepares a mixture in which the half of it is provided by the pure saffron, and added some honey to it, and then drinks two Mesghal (unit of weight equal to five grams) of it per day, the one will get a strong memory that all people may think he/she is a magician"
In this tradition, the word "So'd" has been mentioned generally. However, there has been mentioned another mixtures which contains "So'd Kufi", "currants", "fennel", "ginger" and etc. in other part of the book Misbah Kaf’ami, but seemingly it is not a Hadith and the author experientially mentioned it.[3]
Thus, since the tradition is mursal (meaning "hurried". i.e. if some narrators or all of them are omitted from a given isnād. By this definition the hadith includes all categories of discontinuity.) it can neither be proven nor be rejected completely. As a result, we certainly ought not to distribute such a property of this mixture to Imam Ali (a.s). However, the traditional medicine expertises are able to give their opinion regarding the effect of that mixture on memory.

I want to ask that how can we prevent those people who speek guluh

Ghulu is haram and a person who is doing is najis. We all know Allah is the supreme power and all His attributes are originally for Him only but other than Allah all Prophets and Aimmah (a.s) what qualities they have is given by Allah so they are the creations of Allah and creation is always lower than its creator.

That’s why I am asking that how can we protect yourself from those people

We should not have any relationship with a per who does Ghulu for Aimmah a.s but unfortunately people not only they don’t cut their relationship with such quality people they praise them too. Specially Shoara Who say ashaar in praise of Ahlul Bait (a.s) if they do Ghulu people praise them a lot and 90% Ghulu starts from Shoara (poet) Hazrat. So the best thing we should we condemn such poetry and we should have such courage to stop as soon as possible in the same mahfil or majlis if anyone is doing Ghulu.

I will be shifting to a hostel in coming days .I live in a hindu majority country (INDIA) . The hostel is providing us food but that food is cooked by a hindu .I will be taking my coaching classes and I do not know how to cook and I won't even get time to cook food.
what should I do now ??

If you are sure that the cook who prepare food is Hindu and touch all food items with bare hands then you can not use the food.

If someone wrongs you and you tell about it to ur parents and friends
is it backbiting???

For your safety and security it’s allowed to make aware of your parents if someone has done something wrong with you.But if he/she has asked you for forgiveness then you have to close the issue with yourself.

Recently I made a promise with Allah to not commit this sin nor go back to it, but after a few days due to the weakness of my faith I broke the promise that I made to Allah. Can you please tell me how to make God pleased with me and the right thing to do if you break a promise with Allah.

Rules Regarding Oath (Qasam)
2679. If a person takes an oath that he will perform an act (e.g. that he will fast) or will refrain from doing an act (e.g. that he will not smoke), but does not intentionally act according to his oath, he should give Kaffarah for it, which means he should set a slave free, or should fully feed ten indigent persons, or should provide them with clothes. And if he is not able to perform these acts, he should fast for three consecutive days.
Condition:
The oath must be sworn by one of those names of the Almighty Allah which are exclusively used for Him, (e.g. 'Allah'). And even if he swears by a name which is used for other beings also, but is used so extensively for Him, that when any person utters that name one is reminded of Him Alone, for example, if he swears by the name Khaliq (the Creator) and Raziq (the Bestower), the oath will be in order. In fact, if he uses other names or attributes of Allah, which do not remind of Him, but give that connotation when used during an oath, like Samee' (All Hearing) or Baseer (All Seeing), even then the oath will be valid

As for as Forgiveness concern yes it true that Almighty Allah is Most Merciful and we should have hope in His Mercy but same time we should realise our faults and be ashamed that you are already said and it’s best thing if a person feels guilty after committing any Sin it means his Instinct alive and this is one of the blessings of Allah otherwise if nauzobillah a day comes in once life that he/she after commuting gunah doesn’t feel bad it means he/she has Wrath of Allah and his/her Zameer (instinct) had died.
So just do Isteghfar and leave it on Allah don’t get stress otherwise it will destroy your life. Just ask for forgiveness and cry then leave it upon Allah.

I started having the symptoms of Panic attack and Depersonalization.
I wanted to request you to please inform me about any Surah's aur Duas that I can recite so that my problem is cured.

Please recite Sura Yasin

What happens if i accidently forget to recite ziyarat e ashura one day or for a couple of days. does this mean i have to start all over again or just keep on reciting till i reach the 40 th day.

Actually the number 40 itself has its importance so we should complete this number without any gap as in any amal continue and presence of mind is a major factor it shows how much the one who’s doing that is devoted to it. So if possible you continue once you have started it till end.

salam i have the following questions to recite this ziyarat for 40 days to help get rid of a problem.1)is the sajda at end of ziyarat obligatory?or can we recite that part without sajda.
2)what happens if i read the ziyarat for 40 days ,but then a girl gets her periods.Should she recite in her menses or wait till its over to recite. because i want to do the 40 day amaal.

Yes you can recite without doing sajda. And a woman can recite this ziyarat in her menses also.
One thing I wish to add that the part we recite during Sajdah that is the greatest part of this ziyarat that requires we put our forehead on the ground and say:
O’my Allah! (All) praise is for You (alone); praise of the "Ever-thankful to You", who glorify You whatever come to pass. (All) praise is for Allah for my deep-felt intense grief. O my Allah make available for me the recommendations of Husayn on the day I present myself before You, let me stand firm in safety before You on account of my sincere attachment with Husayn, along with him and his comrades, who sacrificed everything they had (heart, mind, soul and life) for Husayn, peace be on him.

I would like to know if we can eat the food prepared or touched by Christians or Jews (whether they drink alcohol and eat pork or not)
And under what situations can we consume their food? and after consuming, how can we purify ourselves?
is it true that our hajat are not accepted for 40 days after consuming such food?

The Ahlul Kitab (that is, the Jews, the Christians and the Zoroastrians) are ritually pure (tahir) as long as you do not know that they have become ritually impure (najis) by coming into contact with an impure object. You can follow this ruling when dealing with them.
As long as it is not known that the hands of the cook were najis, the food is to be considered tahir.
A Muslim is allowed to eat the food prepared by a non-Muslim who is not from Ahlul Kitãb [for example, a Hindu or a Buddhist], provided that he does not know or is not sure that the non-Muslim touched the food with wetness; and provided that he does not know or is not sure that the food consists of what is forbidden to him like intoxicating drinks. As for meat, fat and their extracts, the food cooked by non-Muslims should not contain any of these. If the food contains meat and animal fat, he should be sure that they are halal .

I have loans on my head which I wish to pay ASAP, however my Rozi is not increasing since last 1 year. my loan is increasing month on month. kindly suggest me some prayers or Aamal which can help me to remove my depths soon. I had done HAJJ in past and even was blessed with Ziarats multiple times however my current situation is not allowing me to do either. kindly suggest something.

Please go through below mentioned link you will find nice ways and A’maal for increasing one’s sustenance.

tradition states that a person came to Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.) and asked for a prayer which will increase his income or daily bread. He was asked by the Imam (a.s.) to cut his moustache and nails on a Friday.


آغا صاحب، کیا قوالی سننا جائز ہے یا حرام ہے۔ مثلا ایسی قوالیاں جن میں لغو شاعری نہ ہو جیسے کہ نصرت فتح علی خان یا صابری برادرز کی قوالیاں۔

Songs (al-ghinã’) are harãm absolutely. However, singing praise [of the Prophet or the Ahlul Bayt] that is sung with a good tune but is not in ghinã’ form is without problem.
As for the music, it would be allowed, if it is not suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings.
Agar jo Qawwali aap bata rahe hain Ghina ki category main aati hai aur mahafil main mauj Nasrin ka sahab hai to uska sunna jayez nahin hai

تقریبا 14 سال پہلے ایک NGO نے ایک گائوں میں یتیموں کے لئے مجھے کچھ پیسے دیئے. ان میں سے 3 یا 4 یتیم اپنے گھر نہیں تھے اور ان کے پیسے میں نے استعمال کر لئے. اور NGO سے کہا کے سب بچوں میں پیسے تقسیم کر دیئے ہیں. وہ رقم مجھے یاد ہے 5000 روپے تھی. مگر اس NGO کا ابھی معلوم نہیں کہ کہاں ہے؟ کوئ رابطہ نمبر بھی معلوم نہیں. میں وہ رقم اب لوٹانا چاہتا ہوں. تاکہ قبر میں اس رقم کی وجہ سے مشکل میں نہ پھنس جائوں. مجھے کیا کرنا چاہئے؟ کسی مدرسے میں وہ رقم دے سکتا ہوں؟

اگر مذکورا رقم کسی خاص شخص یتیم کے لیۓ نہیں تھی تو آپ اس رقم کو کسی دوسرے یتیم پر خرج کر سکتے ہیں ورنہ قید کی صورت میں اسی یتیم تک یہ رقم پہنچانہ آپکی شرعی ذمہ داری ہے۔ اگر چہ آپکو موجودہ صورت حال میں NGO کے بارے میں کوئی خبر نہیں ہے۔

If we do dua for something and it keeps getting delayed whereas all your other duas get accepted, so does that mean we should keep asking Allah dua that is not being accepted or leave it?

The actual meaning of Dua is to call. Dua is an act by which we get close to Allah (swt) we should always keep in our mind that we are nothing and the one who has all power is Allah therefore we are always in need to Him now our duty is to call our Lord but we can’t calculate which one of our Duas are accepted and which one has not accepted just like a child Who totally rely on his/her parents without any doubt and asks what he/she wants but it is his/her parents has to decide what is better and suitable for their child and what is not good and yet it is not a appropriate time to make his/her wishes true. So we should always remember our Lord by our Duas and this will make a strong bond between Creation and Creator.

I usually perform ghusl after taking a shower, meaning all my body and head is wet before the ghusl. While performing ghusl I can't be 100% sure if the part I'm washing got wet with the water of ghusl or because it was wet before. What should I do in this case if i can't be completely sure whether any part of my body or head remained unwashed during ghusl?

There is no harm making wet your body before having the Niyyat of Ghusl. Normally when you wash head and Neck and then right side of the body and then left side. Your Ghusl is in order no need to having doubts unnecessarily.

When i dream about ahl al bayt, are they real? So are they visiting me? Or is it just a dream?

We can’t deny the reality of this fact that there are many people they see Aimmah (a.s) in Mukashefa it depends on the purity and devotion towards Alhlul Bayt (a.s ) when they are asked by any of their followers with complete Ikhlas and sincerity they come and guide and help their followers.

kya qibla ki taraf pauwn ka rukh karke sauna haraam hai

Nahin aisa bilkul nahin hai.

My question is fox and other animals of dogs species are also impure(najis) to touch or only dogs are impure.

Only two animals dog and pig are completely najis I mean najis al ayn otherwise none other animals are not najis.

I had a query on Namaaz Washat. Is it recommended for Wali of deceased only or can anyone recite it. If anyone can recite it, what would the Niyat for it be? If Namaaz Washat is not a sunnat Namaaz for all and only for Walli, then can Namaaz Hadiya Mayyit be offered instead?

For Namaaz Mayyit, from what little I know, it is to be recited by one person. Most of us follow the imam and don’t say anything or try to recite with him. What is recommended? And if it is recommended to be recited alongside the imam can one read from the phone?

Namaz e Wahshat is a recommended namaz for all there is no restriction that only Wali has to recite this namaz. Anyone can recite this namaz for any Muslim and Niyyat would be that particular deceased person.
As for as Namaz e Mayyet concern it is a Wajib Kefayee for all Muslims to recite namaz for a Muslim. We should not keep silent while everyone has to recite if he knows what has to recited otherwise he/she has to repeat while Imam is reciting. If anyone does not know he may recite either from phone or paper etc.

A male and a female engaged with katb al kitab. But the parents of the girl made a شرط that there will be no “love making” till marriage. But even though her parents made that شرط they still made love. Is it considered zina?

In Islam without Nikah in any condition it is not permissible that a non mahram men and woman have such relation which leads to touch each other while it is not considered as a Zina but it is Haraam and even a non mahram men and women are not allowed to flirt so in case if parents are allowing you do not have sex and just make love with each other only if they have done Nikah ( either temporary ie. Mut’a or permanent) otherwise in any case without Nikah it is Haram to have any relationship with ones who is non mahram.

Kya shawer se Gusal ho sakta hai?

Ji bilkul shower se ghusl ho sakta hai ehtiyat eh hai ke see aur gardan dhone ke bad shower band karden fir Dahina hissa dhone ke baad shower band kar den aur left portion dhoyen. Take Ghusl ka paani tamam body ke liye ek shumar na kiya jaye.

i am from india..in my hostel majority are hindus..cook is also hindu..should i join mess or not ??

If you are sure that the cook who prepare food is Hindu and touch all food items with bare hands then you can not use the food.

what about packed items that we get from markets..and tea

All factory packed food items are allowed except meat products (for meat products it must be cleared that it is of halal animal and if its from halal animal then it was it slaughtered according to Islamic Shariya or not).Tea bags or loose tea can be used.

what about packed pickles in non muslim country?

If you are sure about that it has been touched by non Muslims directly with their bare hands then don’t use it otherwise if it packed you can use it.

how to remove jealousy ,hatred towards bad people , and other spiritual diseases from heart ? .how to purify our heart and remove love of world from it ?

Jealousy is the result of Pride and pride caused by a lack of belief in Allah. Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: Pride enters the heart like a black ant crawling over a black rock at night”
Therefore we should be very careful that if after achieving any single and simple achievement if it come in our mind that it all happened due to my own efforts then make sure that we are trapped by Shaitan to soon we have to accept that all is done due the Grace of Almighty Allah. A Jealous person has less believe in Allah because rather than relying on Allah he thinks why he/she has a good and happy life. While near Allah there is nothing less He can give to him as He has given to others.
So as much as we strengthen our belief in Allah (Teal meaning of Tawheed) we will be free from all sorts of evil and also we will not have too much attachment with this materialistic world.
Imam Husain a.s says: “ O Allah what did he find who lost you and what he lose who found you.”

I wanted know if its okay to keep mimber in one’s bedroom

By mimber i mean a cupboard/cabinet which contains a miniature of Imam Ali a.s. Roza Mubarak
And Alam e Mubarak and other miniatures of Roza of Imams


Whether it is permissable to have that cupboard in a bedroom where a couple stay and indulge into sexual acts, and females having their mentrual cycle stay in that room.

There is no harm keeping that in ones bedroom. Even if woman is staying there in the state of monthly cycle.

I would like to know the rulings regarding to hairs of men. Are they supposed to be shaven, grown or kept trimmed??


Also, pleade provide me with hadith, reference from Imam or Quranic Verse in favour of the same.


I’m in the Taqlid of Ayatolla Seestani….

Is clean shaving one’s head considered as Wahabism?

There is no harm in cutting or shaving one’s hairs.
Etiquette and advantages of shaving one's head:
Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.) said that one should shave off the hair from one's head from the roots that the head may be clean and free of lice. Besides, it strengthens one's neck and gives more light to the eyes and the body relaxes and also said that he shaved his head every Friday.

According to a tradition from Hazrat Moosa Kazim (a.s.), when the hair on the head get long, the eyes get weak and eyesight gets dim and when the hair are cut, the brightness of the eyes is increased. (This applies to men).

It is haram (not permissible) for women to cut their hair without any reason.

Another reliable tradition states that a person who will not part his hair when he has kept them long, his head will be opened on the day of judgement by God with a cutter of fire.

A tradition states that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has prohibited a woman who has physically matured to gather her hair in front or at the sides and knot them and hang them in front like men.

Two other traditions state that there is no harm in making an addition (something to tie a plait) from the hair of one's own hair or that of an animal but the hair of other women should not be mixed with one's own. One should be careful to take off the addition of animal's hair from one's hair before starting one's prayers, as namaz is not allowed with it. But if it is of the hair of permissible animals, then its usage even during prayers is not prohibited.

what is gunah e kabira

What do we call Gunah Kabira (greater sins) is different from daily routine mistakes and Gunah. It caused severe affect in ones life and has severe punishment on the Day of Judgement. Allah say in Sura Nisa verse 31:
إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا

If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small sins and cause you to enter an honorable place of entering.(4:31)
But we should not consider any Gunah as it is small because it’s long term effect is that a person who considers any Gunah small becomes habitual of doing them. Whilst Gunah e Kabira is its a very serious and dangerous action according to Islam.

me university student hun aur meri university me co-education system hai. Meri friends girls hi hain par prhai k silsily me boys say bhi baat hoti hai aur jab class trips hon tou tab prhai say hat k bhi baat cheet hojati hai. Me shia hun tou aksar sunni boys say discussions hoti rehti hain aur 1 boy atheist hai us say bhi bhut discussions hoti hain. Boys mery sath facebook pay bhe add hain aur un kay sath social media k through contacts bhi hain. Mera sawal yeh hai k kia islam is tarha kay contacts allow karta hai ya islam mai sirf yai hai k boys say kisi bhi soorat contact na rakha jaye


قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ….
“(O’ Prophet!) Say to the believing men that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts - that is purer for them; surely Allah is aware of what they do. And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks…”
Is ayat ki raushni main agar modesty ko maintain rakhte hue sirf formal relationships ho to koi problem nahin hai.magar ek non mahram woman jab kisi non mahram man se baat kare to use apne awaz soft nahin karna hai aur na hi bahot ziyada hans kar baat karni chahiye ( jise aaj ki zaban main flirt kahte hain ) precaution eh hai ke jitna ziyada se ziyada ho sake na mahram man aur woman ka interaction kam hona chahiye.Ho sakta hai aapki niyyat saf ho magar samne wale ka kia intention hai no body knows. Is liye jitna mumkin ho sake aise relationship se bhi lathes kiya jaye ji se Gunah ka khatra ho sakta hai.

me ne pouchna tha k quran o hadith aur shariat me kaha pe btaya gya hai k aik na mehram larky ka 1 na mehram larki se contact rakhna haram hai? aur kia ye bat aaima e masomeen a.s k talimaat ya farameen me hai k 1 larka aur larki apas me contact nahi rakh sakty?

Quran ya Hadis main zahir hai aisa to nahin likha hai ke ek na mahram Aurat dosre Na mahram mard se baat nahin kar sakti ya contact nahin rakh sakti. magar ab sawal eh hai ke eh contact kis hadd tak hai agar koi aurata ya larki kisi na mahram mard se flirt kare ya unse aise baat kare ke samne wale ke dil main Shaitan waswsa paida kare to eh kayez nahin hai.
يَا نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا

O wives of the Prophet! you are not like any other of the women; If you will be on your guard, then be not soft in (your) speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease yearn; and speak a good word.(33:32)
maine pahle bhi likha tha ke agar kisi aurat aur mard ka jo ek dosre ke liye na mahrah hain apas main rabeta sirf Islamic dayere main aur iffat aur modesty ko maintan rakhte hue hi possible aur allowed hai. iske alawa beghair kisi legal need ke apas main rabeta rakhna sahi nahin hai.

Religion is of no use. Religion has attempted to tell us two things,
1- How was the world created.
2- How to live in this world(morality).
For the first query, I take the help of Science
For the second morality question, I take the assistance of Philosophy and Social science?

How was the world created?
First of all science we don’t see any contradiction between science and religion as long as any issue has been proved by scientific research because we know many scientific researches are still in the process of theories and have not yet been proven. But what Religion (specially Quran) has said about the universe is pointing out towards a reality now it that reality has not yet approved by scientists due to the lack of knowledge ( none can accept that all mysteries of the universe has been solved) then how we can say we can get all answers from the scientific researches.
2- How to live in this world (morality)
I would like to ask one question if this Morality is found in social science or in philosophy then why don’t we have it in all creations while animals they don’t have it in what manners we Human being have. What does it mean? When all organisms are having same atmosphere and same fashion of their creation then how comes Humans are distinct from other animals?? It means what Humans have is not only been taken from this very nature but some other power has given them. Our intellect is not the creation of our practices which we do in our daily life but it has already been settled according to our need by our creator. So for Morality also we need Religion too.

I want to clarify one thing that if i am elogible for making the anus paak with tissue or cloth or such material, then I have to wipe the anus it till the poop no more remains on my anus and ,there would be no problem if the smell and color remains right? And what while wiping it, it gets little spread around anus on skin? If i wipe that poop also with tissue, then that skin will also become paak or , this cloth or tissue can be used only for poop on anus ?

as long as poop is covering only anus one can clean it with tissue paper or piece of cloth or dry clay but if it has spread out then it must be washed with water only.

Can I start a Namaz in a room where there is non mehram person? does the namaz become invalid if i pray in the room while non mahram is there? Please give me reference also as that will be more helpful when i tell the answer to others..thanks alot.

Yes you can offer your namaz where there are non mahram but you should not recite loudly and the strongest proof in this concern is Hajj season and Holy Shrine of our Aimmah (a.s) where woman offer their prayer while there are thousands of non mahram are present.

one day while passing urine, the urine got mixed with sticky premature ejaculated fluid. Now to make urine pak, i washed it but the wash was not good enough to remove the stickiness. So, just because the stickiness was not washed away which was mixed with urine, it is najis and transfers najasat? The urine was made paak correctly. If the answer is that its najis and transfers najast then, That day when was in that situation I had touched many things with the wet hands which may also have become najis. How to know the things which i made najis?

Issue 126: * If a Clean (tahir/pak) thing touches a najis thing and if either or both of them are so wet that the wetness of one reaches the other, the Clean (tahir/pak) thing will become najis. Similarly, if the wetness of the thing which has become najis, touches a third thing, that t hird thing will also become najis. It is commonly held by the scholars, that a thing which has become najis transmits its najasat, but indefinite number of transmissions is improbable. In fact, after certain stage it is Clean (tahir/pak). For example, if the right hand of a person becomes najis with urine, and then, while still wet, it touches his left hand, the left hand will also become najis. Now, if the left hand after having dried up, touches a wet cloth, that cloth will also become najis, but, if that cloth touc hes another wet thing, it cannot be said to be najis. In any case, if the wetness is so little, that it does not affect the other thing, then the Clean (tahir/pak) thing will not become najis, even if it had contacted the Najisul Ayn.
