"This world is like unto a garment torn thoroughly, hanging on an almost parting string."

-Prophet Muhammad [s], Nahj al Fasahah; Tradition No. 2270

[teenageascetic]

“And the same chain of narrators that he Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah the Great and Almighty has a pillar of ruby, the top of which is under the Throne, and the bottom of which is on the back of the fish which swims in the Seventh lowest Earth. When a servant of Allah says `there is no god but Allah’, the Throne trembles, and both the pillar and fish move. So Allah, the Blessed and the Most High says: `O Throne of Mine! Remain calm!’ Then it replies, `How shall I remain calm, when you have not forgiven the one who uttered those words?’ Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, announces: `Bear witness, O inhabitants of My Heavens, that indeed I have pardoned the one who has uttered these words!’"

-Al-Tawhīd book 2 chapter 1 verse 20.

[aleehaaaa]

"Then the Lord, Almighty Allah said, ' O My angels! O residents of My heavens! Verily, I have not erected the sky, the stretched earth, the illuminated moon, the bright sun, the rotating planets, the flowing seas, and the sailing ships, but for the love of these five under the cloak.'

Gabriel the trusted angel asked, 'Who are under the cloak?'

The Almighty answered, 'They are the household of the Prophet and the assets of prophethood. They are Fatimah, her father, her husband, and her two sons.(Peace and blessings be upon them)'"

— Hadith e Kisa/Ahl ul Kisa (The Hadith of the people of the cloak

[ibn-agim]

Al Imām Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal said,

"Whoever does not affirm the Khilāfah for 'Ali (رضي الله عنه),

then he is more misguided than the donkey of his family.

Understanding the Wisdom: Prioritizing the Hereafter Over Worldly Gains

حكمة اليوم: روي عن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) أنه قال: “يا علي: شر الناس من باع آخرته بدنياه. وشر من ذلك من باع آخرته بدنيا غيره.” هذه الحكمة تعكس أهمية التمسك بالقيم الروحية والأخلاقية وعدم التضحية بها من أجل المكاسب المادية أو الدنيوية. كما تؤكد على أن من أسوأ أنواع الناس هم الذين يضحون بآخرتهم ليس فقط من أجل دنياهم، بل من أجل دنيا الآخرين، مما يعكس ضياع القيم الأخلاقية والروحية بشكل…

Are there TV shows in Classical Arabic with English subtitles? TV shows in Classical Arabic (Fusha) with English subtitles are rare. Omar about the famous Caliph and the Imam about Ahmad bin Hanbal are two good examples. https://arabic-for-nerds.com/history/tv-shows-classical-arabic-english-subtitles/?feed_id=5441&utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=geralddrissner&utm_campaign=FS%20Poster

Why do I not see shias invite people to Islam??

Imam as-Sadiq (as) said: "Tell people about your religion (through good actions) without the use of your tongue."

There is an entire chapter in al-Kafi (one of our principle collection of hadiths) specifically titled "Not to Invite People to Belief.", which discourages Shi'a Muslims from proselytising.

But in short, Shi'as are dedicated to preserving & defending the religion rather than to mission.

So I saw this on TikTok live and decided to request to debate, since I saw it was all men and one pick me woman ganging up on and bullying a soft spoken Muslim woman.

Debating on TikTok live for the first time was a fucking struggle lmao, they kicked out the girl for being a Shia, so I had to try to argue while not revealing myself to be an ex Muslim 😅

They sniffed me out right away! Too much empathy and intellect! Something Muslims are not allowed to have. When the pick me Host (she hates women more than any other woman I’ve ever met lmao) brought up a pro slavery Hadith, I asked them, “Genuinely, you’re telling me you’re pro slavery? With your own logic and morality, you are ok with literal slavery??” And they all loudly declared “YES!! Are you questioning the Hadith? What Muslim questions the Hadith?!”

They kicked me out with the swiftness lmao, Islam is not compatible with modern, civilized society 💀 The pro rape, pro wife beating, pro slavery Hadiths they were bringing up to defend their arguments.. it was hard to not out myself as an ex muzzie and just shout “YES, THATS WHY ISLAM IS EVIL BRUH, why do YOU approve of these things 😭” I’m glad I at least wasted their time and ruined their moods lmao, they got really offended by my explicit avatar pfp … they only noticed towards the end and started yelling “What the hell is that ?!” 😂

That’s my husband’s beautiful blue ass, what do you mean 😔

Anyway gonna finish setting up that ex Muslim discord and post it tonight! I wanna think of a way to troll these debates that keep growing in numbers. They don’t have many viewers but there’s so many of them and I wanna keep them down and ruin their evangelizing attempts at brainwashing more people… maybe a funny, slow speaking character to bore and annoy? Stoner muslimah that keeps interrupting to ask what’s the Islamic ruling on smoking weed lmao. She keeps coughing into the mic whenever someone tries to speak 💀

Any other ideas lol?

[questionsonislam]

What Quranic basis do Shia Muslims have for believing in 12 Imams who follow Muhammad (pbuh)? Where can we find solid Quranic proof that the Imams were decreed by God as successors to Muhammad? Shi’as often point to Muhammad's last sermon, the famous Ghadir Khom speech, and claim that he said "I leave you with the Quran and the ahl-al bayt." How much historical evidence do we have of Muhammad making such a statement? In short, is Shi'a Islam even valid?

Although the Shi’as are divided into some classes such as Ghaliya, Zaydiya and Imamiya, when it is said Shi’a, Imamiya is generally understood in our time.

After the passing away of the Prophet (pbuh) to the Eternal Realm, the Shi’as accept Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his two sons in order and his grandsons as the legal imam (caliph) by the determination and the will of the Prophet and they regard believing in the twelve imams as a foundation of the faith. Therefore, that group is called as “Ithna Ashariyya” since they accept only the twelve imams as the imams; it is called as “Imamiya” since they accept believing in the imams as a condition of the faith; and it is called as “Ja’fariyya” since they rely on the opinions of Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq both in faith and worship and acts.

The Shi’as are of the opinion that the imamate, namely, the caliphate is not from the “minor” acts which can be left to the desire and election of the Muslims as the Sunnis accept. According to them, imamate is a pillar existing in the basis of the religion and takes place among the fundamentals of the faith. Therefore, the Shi’as have to believe in the existence of the imam in the same way as they believe in Allah, the prophets and the Day of Judgment. According to that faith, the imams are innocent just like the prophets; they never commit a minor or a major sin, they do not behave unjustly; a person who does not know them becomes an unbeliever. Moreover, “Their commands are the commands of Allah, their prohibitions are His prohibitions. Obeying them is obeying Allah; disobedience to them is disobedience to Allah.”

Iran, which accepts Imamiya as a formal madhhab (school of law) today, has given the duty of imamate including the religious authority to “Ayatullah al-Uzma” (Great Sign of Allah). Therefore, absolute obedience to that “imam” is obligatory. Opposing him is like opposing Allah and the Prophet. In the Iranian constitution, where the article “The formal religion of Iran is Islam and its school of law is Ithna Ashari Ja’afari. And that article can never be changed” takes place, believing in the “Twelve Imams” is accepted as an important principle.

The issue of imamate, considered as above, does not take place among the fundamentals of the religion in any way according to the Sunnis. The imam, namely the caliph, comes to the mission by the conferring and the election of the Muslims. Any person possessing the determined attributes in the matters of the world and the hereafter can undertake the management of the Muslims. He cannot be innocent and sinless in any way.

In regard to the opinion of the Sunnis about the Twelve Imams; the eleven imams (their number is twelve with Hazrat Ali) are exalted saints and authorities in point of merit, godliness and spiritual ranks.

Badiuzzaman mentions the twelve imams while listing the persons who are the objects of mystery of the hadith “The scholars of my community are like the prophets of the Children of Israel.” He introduces the twelve imams as the great people of the Sunnis by stating “The people of fact, first of all, the Sunnis as the Four Imams (the imams of the four schools of law) and the Ithna Ashara Imams (the Twelve Imams) of the Family of the Prophet..” in another statement of him.

The Twelve Imams are the following persons: Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Hasan, Hazrat Hussain, Ali bin Hussain, Muhammad Baqir, Ja’far as-Sadiq, Musa Kazim, Ali Riza, Muhammad Taqi, Ali Naqi, Hasan Asghari and Muhammad Mahdi (may Allah be pleased with them.)

"(True) thanksgiving for every bounty lies in restraining oneself from the things that Allah has prohibited."

-Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib [a], Mishkat al-Anwar, p. 35;Mizan ul Hikmah, page No. 933)

[teenageascetic]

“Sahl b. Sa'd reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

In Paradise, there is a tree under the shadow of which a rider can travel for a hundred years without covering (the distance) completely. This hadith has also been transmitted on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) is reported to have said: In Paradise, there is a tree under the shadow of which a rider of a fine and swift-footed horse would travel for a hundred years without covering the distance completely. There would be the pleasure of Allah for the inmates of Paradise and He would never be annoyed with them.”

-Sahih Muslim 2827, 2828.

Hazrat Imam Hussein Ibn Ali: A Beacon of Courage and Sacrifice

Hazrat Imam Hussein Ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), stands as a monumental figure in Islamic history, known for his unwavering commitment to justice and his ultimate sacrifice in the Battle of Karbala. His legacy transcends religious boundaries, inspiring millions across the globe with his courage, piety, and devotion to truth.

Early Life and Lineage

Born on January 10, 626 AD in Medina, Imam Hussein was the second son of Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Fatima Zara, the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His lineage is one of nobility and virtue, with his parents being revered figures in Islam. From a young age, Hussein was known for his wisdom, kindness, and deep understanding of the Quran and Hadith. His upbringing in the Prophet's household imbued him with a profound sense of faith and duty.

The Political Landscape

The political landscape during Imam Hussein's time was marked by significant turmoil and corruption. Following the death of his brother, Imam Hassan, Hussein became the head of the Ahl Al-Bayt (the family of the Prophet) and a prominent leader among the Muslim community. The Omayyad dynasty, led by Yazid, sought to consolidate power through coercion and oppression, demanding allegiance from all. Imam Hussein's refusal to pledge allegiance to Yazid was a stance against tyranny and a declaration of his commitment to uphold Islamic principles.

The Journey to Karbala

Imam Hussein's journey to Karbala is a pivotal chapter in Islamic history. In 680 AD, he received numerous appeals from the people of Kufa, who sought his leadership to overthrow the oppressive Omayyad rule. Despite knowing the dangers that lay ahead, Hussein set out with his family and a small group of loyal companions. Their journey was not just a physical one but a spiritual and moral odyssey that would culminate in a momentous stand against injustice.

The Battle of Karbala

The Battle of Karbala took place on the 10th of Muharram, 680 AD. Imam Hussein and his 72 companions faced the vastly larger and heavily armed forces of Yazid. Despite being outnumbered and deprived of water for days, Hussein and his followers exhibited unparalleled bravery. The battle was not merely a military confrontation but a clash of ideals. Imam Hussein’s refusal to submit to Yazid's demands highlighted his unwavering faith and commitment to righteousness. His martyrdom, along with the massacre of his companions, became a powerful symbol of resistance against oppression.

Legacy and Lessons

The legacy of Imam Hussein transcends time and geography. His sacrifice at Karbala serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of standing up for justice, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. His story is commemorated annually during the Islamic month of Muharram, particularly on the day of Ashura. For Shia Muslims, Ashura is a day of mourning and reflection, but the values Hussein stood for resonate with all Muslims and indeed all people who champion human rights and dignity.

Conclusion

Hazrat Imam Hussein Ibn Ali's life and martyrdom offer profound lessons in courage, integrity, and steadfastness. His legacy is not just a historical narrative but a beacon of hope and inspiration. In a world where injustice and tyranny still exist, the story of Karbala serves as a reminder that the fight for truth and righteousness is eternal. Imam Hussein’s sacrifice teaches us that true victory lies not in the physical battle but in the moral and spiritual stand against oppression.

Which Eye of the Dajjal is blind?

The concept of the Dajjal (the Antichrist) is an important part of Islamic eschatology. Among the various signs associated with the appearance of the Dajjal, his eye is particularly significant. This blog will explore the characteristics of the Dajjal’s eye as described in Islamic texts, what different Islamic schools of thought (madhabs) say about it, and some of the less relevant ideas surrounding this topic.

The Eye of Dajjal in Islamic Texts:

In several hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described the Dajjal as having a distinctive eye. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim both contain descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye. One hadith states, “The Dajjal is blind in one eye, and his eye looks like a bulging out grape” (Bukhari, Book 88, Hadith 241).

Descriptions of the Dajjal’s Eye:

Blind in One Eye:

The Dajjal is described as being blind in one eye, which is a prominent feature that will help believers recognize him.

Bulging Eye:

His eye is described as bulging like a grape, adding to his terrifying appearance.

Defective Eye:

In some narrations, the Dajjal’s eye is described as defective or deformed.

Different Madhabs’ Perspectives:

Hanafi:

The Hanafi school, like other Sunni schools, accepts the descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye as narrated in the hadith. They emphasize the importance of recognizing these signs to avoid being deceived by the Dajjal.

Maliki:

The Maliki school also adheres to the hadith descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye. They focus on the spiritual preparedness and strong faith needed to resist the Dajjal’s temptations.

Shafi’i:

The Shafi’i madhab acknowledges the physical descriptions of the Dajjal, including his eye, and stresses the importance of understanding the broader context of the Dajjal’s trials.

Hanbali:

The Hanbali school, in line with other Sunni traditions, accepts the hadith descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye and highlights the necessity of following the Prophet’s guidance to recognize and avoid the Dajjal.

Shia:

Shia scholars also accept the descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye found in hadith literature. They emphasize the role of the Mahdi, the guided one, who will emerge to combat the Dajjal.

Less Relevant Ideas and Misconceptions:

Symbolic Interpretations:

Some modern interpretations suggest that the Dajjal’s eye might symbolize technological or societal advancements, such as surveillance systems or media control. These interpretations, while interesting, are not widely accepted by traditional Islamic scholars.

Western Media and Popular Culture:

The concept of the Dajjal’s eye has sometimes been conflated with ideas from Western media, such as the “all-seeing eye” or other conspiracy theories. These ideas are not rooted in Islamic tradition and should be viewed with caution.

Non-Canonical Sources:

There are various non-canonical sources and folk stories that provide additional, often exaggerated details about the Dajjal’s eye. These should be approached skeptically and not be confused with authentic Islamic teachings.

Conclusion:

The eye of the Dajjal is a significant sign mentioned in Islamic eschatology. Different Islamic madhabs, including Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali, and Shia, all recognize the descriptions provided in hadith literature. While there are some less relevant ideas and symbolic interpretations about the Dajjal’s eye, it is important to rely on authentic sources and scholarly interpretations to understand this crucial aspect of Islamic belief. Recognizing the signs of the Dajjal, including his eye, helps Muslims remain vigilant and steadfast in their faith.
