#imam Sadiq AS

[rose1water]

Certainly, when a believer commits a sin, their sin's record is kept on hold until the next morning, for perhaps they may repent and ask forgiveness for it, and perhaps they may perform a good deed that will erase it. Indeed, God is Most Merciful towards His creation, and will always find excuses to forgive them.

— Imām al-Sādiq (ع)

"Whoever, when suffering from an ailment, patiently endures it and considers it a means of proximity to Allah, Allah writes down for him the same reward as that of a thousand martyrs."

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.

[afinidade082323]

Imam al-Sadiq (as), mentioning the status and qualities of the Imams said,

“Allah has made them the (source of) life for mankind, the lamps in the darkness, the keys to expression and the pillars of Islam.”

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered a speech, September 19th, 2024, following the zionist massacres of the last two days in Lebanon: Telegram Original Video in Arabic (Speech starts at: 15:04)

English Translation Below (Long post)

I congratulate Muslims on the occasion of the birth of the Greatest Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, and his grandson, Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq. I extend my highest congratulations to the families of the martyrs, both in the homeland and on the southern front, for receiving the honor of martyrdom, and I wish the wounded a speedy recovery.

I thank the government, the medical sector in Lebanon for their serious efforts, and all those who donated blood in various Lebanese regions. I express gratitude to everyone who transported a wounded person and those who declared their readiness to donate organs to the injured. I thank our kind people and our dear citizens from all regions, as well as political and labor leaders who stood in solidarity with us. One of the blessings of what happened is the unprecedented humanitarian and moral epic we witnessed on both the national and humanitarian levels. Thanks to the countries that rushed to send medical aid and transport the injured, particularly Iraq and Iran, and to the Syrian government for opening its hospitals. The enemy used a civilian device employed by large segments of society, and repeated this on Wednesday by detonating wireless communication devices, regardless of who was carrying them. As a result of this aggression, dozens of martyrs were killed, including children, women, and civilians. Some explosions occurred in hospitals, markets, public roads, homes, and locations primarily populated by civilians. When the enemy detonated the pagers, it deliberately aimed to kill 4,000 people in a single minute. Over the course of two days, on Tuesday and Wednesday, in just one minute, the enemy intended to kill no fewer than 5,000 people in two minutes. The human efforts and the eagerness shown by the people contributed to reducing serious injuries.

Through Allah's grace and with sincere and devoted human efforts, zeal, passion, and the massive presence of different segments of our people, a large part of the enemy's goal was thwarted. We have formed technical and security investigation committees and are studying all possibilities. We have reached an almost complete conclusion, but the case is still under investigation and careful follow-up—from production to distribution and procedures in Lebanon. We will reach definitive results regarding the explosions in a short time, and appropriate measures will be taken accordingly. There is no doubt that we were subjected to a major blow, both in terms of security and humanity, unprecedented in the history of the resistance in Lebanon, and also unprecedented in Lebanon, the conflict with the zionist enemy, and on a global scale. What happened was a major terrorist operation, and we will define the events of Tuesday and Wednesday as massacres. This significant and powerful blow did not and will not bring us down. This is the nature of war and conflict. We know that our enemy has technological superiority because the West stands behind it. When we engage in this conflict, we rely on effort, sacrifices, attrition, and the accumulation of gains to win. War is a cycle—one day for us from our enemy, and one day for our enemy from us. Tuesday and Wednesday were a major test for us, and, Allah willing, we will overcome this test with pride. I say that this major blow will not bring us down. Through this experience and its lessons, we will become stronger, more steadfast, and more capable of confronting all possibilities and dangers. A former "israeli" deputy chief of staff described what is happening in the north as a historic defeat for "israel."

The Lebanese front is a heavily pressuring front and one of the most significant bargaining chips that the Palestinian resistance holds today to achieve its goals and stop the aggression.

The enemy attempted to separate the Lebanese front from the Gaza front and threatened war. All of this is aimed at pressuring the Lebanese state, the Lebanese people, and the resistance in Lebanon to stop this front. The massacres of Tuesday and Wednesday were part of the pressure to stop the front.

All the enemy's attempts failed, and the resistance remained steadfast in its position, so the enemy resorted to this method, which is the highest level of criminality.

After Tuesday's massacre, we received messages that the goal of this strike was for us to stop fighting on the Lebanese front, and if we do not stop, they have more to unleash.

Another goal of the enemy is to undermine the support base, wear it down, exhaust it, and make it cry out for the resistance to stop.

Our response, on behalf of the martyrs and the wounded, on behalf of those who lost their eyes and hands, and on behalf of all who took on this religious and moral duty to support Gaza, which is suffering from hunger, is this: to Netanyahu and Gallant, the Lebanese front will not stop until the aggression on Gaza stops.

Whatever the sacrifices, consequences, possibilities, and the future of the region, the resistance in Lebanon will not stop supporting and standing by the people of Gaza—this is the first response.

The statements from the wounded themselves reflect their morale, great patience, and determination to return to the battlefield—this is another response to the enemy.

The enemy aimed to weaken the resistance’s environment through this widespread bombing, trying to exhaust it and make it cry out, telling the resistance leadership, "Enough." This goal was also thwarted on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The enemy also aimed, through the Tuesday and Wednesday massacres, to undermine the structure and the command-and-control system, and to spread confusion and weakness within Hezbollah's leadership. This did not happen at any point.

The structure of the resistance has not been shaken or disrupted.

The enemy must understand that what happened did not affect our structure, will, command and control system, or our presence on the front lines; rather, it will make us stronger and more present.

We accepted this challenge on October 8, and today we accept it again. I say to Netanyahu and the zionist entity: You will not be able to bring the northern settlers back to the north, do whatever you want. If you want to bring the settlers back, the only way is to stop the aggression on Gaza.

In recent weeks, there has been talk in the zionist entity about shifting focus to the north, with the aim of bringing "northern residents back to the north safely."

I say to Netanyahu: You will not be able to bring the "northern residents back to the north." Do whatever you want. This is a great challenge between us and you, and the only way to achieve your goal is to stop the war on Gaza. No military escalation, no killing, no assassinations, and not even a full-scale war can return the settlers to the borders, at all, Allah willing.

The northern region commander proposed creating a security belt within Lebanese lands. I say to him, we welcome that because your soldiers are heavily fortified and are taking many precautions. We are searching for zionist soldiers and tanks to target them with lamp and fuse, day and night, but if they decide to come themselves, we say to them, "Welcome."

The security belt will turn into hell for your army if you decide to come to our land. You will face hundreds of those who were wounded on Tuesday and Wednesday, as they have become even more determined. What you are about to do will further displace those fleeing from the north and will push away any chance of their return. What the enemy considers a threat, we consider a historic opportunity, and we welcome it.

There is no doubt that the aggression that occurred is massive and unprecedented, and it will be met with severe retribution and just punishment, from where they expect ot do not expect it.

As for the severe retribution, the news is in what you will see, not in what you will hear, and we keep this within the tightest circle.

The enemy's foolish, narcissistic, reckless leadership will lead this entity into the abyss.

We hope that Allah will help our people in Gaza and the West Bank who are being subjected to genocide before the eyes of the world.

The Spring of the Soul

On Friday evening, i got ready to go to the ladies milad at my mom's friend's house, followed by the masjid. I had no idea what to wear, so i ended up going with a simple, elegant outfit i bought in Pakistan this year. It initially caught my eye because of the color: a beautiful mix of sage green and pale turquoise. It reminded me of a piece of seaglass you might find along the shore of a sandy beach, and i automatically love anything that reminds me of being in nature :)

Mawlid has been such a spiritually rich, fulfilling breath of time... i wish i could experience it over and over. I attended some beautiful seerah lectures with my Sunni friend last Sunday; the speeches were spiritual, deep, and passionate, like a warm cup of tea for my soul. I also attended some fascinating lectures at our masjid for the past two nights- i loved them both and felt like i learned something new, which is one of my favorite feelings in the world :) I think the biggest surprise was learning about the concept of tafa'ul bil khayr- i've been doing that my entire life and had always secretly felt a little guilty about it; learning that the Prophet (pbuh) did something similar blew my mind. Why didn't anyone tell me?? I might write more on this later, but i'm extremely curious to explore it further.

Though my heart tends to gravitate toward content that leans spiritual and metaphysical, getting to experience the contrast between different styles of lectures this week has really made me appreciate how incredible it is that humankind is made up of so many different kinds of thinkers... there are so many different ways of looking at things, so many unique perspectives and dimensions i wouldn't think to consider if i didn't get a chance to step outside my perceptional box and see through the eyes of people whose minds work so differently from mine. We have so much to teach each other, and so much to learn.

As i write this, i'm thinking about the multi-faceted genius of our Holy Prophet (pbuh)- it almost defies reason that someone so intelligent, wise, insightful, and analytical could also be so kind, gentle, compassionate, and thoughtful, but he was; these qualities are only antithetical in limited beings devoid of depth and balance... Our Prophet was the perfect amalgamation of every conceivable virtue. I know it's strange to say this about someone i've never met, but i miss him so much lately. Every time i think about what my heart is longing for the most, i realize the answer is him and his Ahlulbayt (as); every moment of every day, i crave nothing more than proximity to that kind of pure, unerring goodness. All my heart wants, more than anything, is to remain near those who are spiritually alive and in love with God.

I'm going to try my best to make it to the seerah conference today- it's going to be a trek bc i also need to recite at a milad on the other side of town, but i'm determined to figure it out iA :)

If you're reading this, Mawlid Mubarak & Wiladat-e Imam Sadiq (as) Mubarak; may the blessings of this day yield the miracles you seek ❤️
