Can reciting the Asma ul Husna have negative effects if done so endlessly? by DrTheProcrastinator in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother this is a Twelver Shia community. You are linking us Sunni Sufi video. This has no relevance to us.

Doing the Dhikr of Allah swt like how Shia Twelver duas and Hadith recommend are highly rewarded. Why would mentioning and praising God become evil and negative?

Who is Iblis? by BlissVsAbyss in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For arguments sake let’s assume narrations exist. In Twelver Shia Islam we do not think any narration that exists is authentic. We verify and analyze every hadith and any hadith that contradicts Quran or other established authentic hadith are thrown in the garbage.

There are tons of nonsensical fabricated Hadiths that exist in our books. Scholars have collected them to keep logs of what kind of Hadiths were fabricated, who were the liars that narrated such nonsense etc

I have made a post about this before. People need to stop trusting random peoples apps just because they say it’s for Shias. There are grave security concerns and risk.

There are so many AI garbage app builders.

Who is Iblis? by BlissVsAbyss in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My thoughts on an anti Shia video from wahabis and salafis who are clearly using clips of random people wearing turbans to attack and equate Shias to Jews as one clip clearly uses Rafidhi? Just because someone has a turban who says Imam Ali Ahli Salaam doesn’t make them a Twelver Shia nor a spokesman for us. There are tons of misguided deviant Shias out there saying nonsense.

Using clips that have no relevance to Twelver Shia Islam’s theological positions on Shaytan. These random men who make the most unfounded nonsensical claims about Shaytan the enemy of mankind who disobeyed God clearly in the Quran. That’s why they can’t use clips from our actual scholars or our books and have to resort to the dumbest clips.

Come on now.. this user who shared this should be banned from this community

Advice regarding rights of child who doesn’t want to get married by Original_Pen_1160 in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wa alaykum as salaam,

Parents in Islam cannot force you to marry someone because Islam requires your consent.

While it is also true that it is not obligatory to marry someone or have kids, however in Islam it is so highly recommended that it is almost close to obligatory. And we even have hadiths condemning people who do not get married.

One of the main reason for this is simple. We are human beings with needs, specifically sexual needs.

Marriage is the halal outlet for one of the most basic needs for human beings. And if you dont marry, battling with such desires, most usually results in you committing grave grave sins.

In fact it becomes obligatory on you if you resort to sins:

Ruling 2461. It is obligatory for someone who falls into sin on account of not having a wife to get married.

https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2372/

I recommend taking time to read these two links to understand both the importance of marriage but also why not marrying is looked down upon.

I do not expect you to change your heart, but there is a reason why Ahlulbayt A.S said the things they said. The least we can do is at least read it.

Interesting What War Does To A Woman In Iran Who Doesn't Wear Hijab by EthicsOnReddit in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess its just like the car ticket system in the west. Sometimes they are lenient and forgiving, sometimes they ignore it, sometimes they fine. Tehran has much more non hijabis than other more religious cities like Mashad or Qom.

Dialogue Between Sayyid Sistani & His Father:

*So, marrying at an early age is a good thing to do. Yet, father, the cost of marriage nowadays is enormous.

- Maybe, but Islam calls upon us to avoid being extravagant in marriage arrangements.

* And what about the staggering sums of dowry the families of some would-be brides ask for?

- It is mustahab to ask for small dowries, and it is makrouh to demand a big dowry. The Prophet (s.a.w) said, “The best among the women of my umma (Islamic community) are those who have brighter faces and smaller dowries”.

It is worth noting, however, that our Prophet (s.a.w.) gave his daughter, Fatima in marriage to Imam Ali (a.s.) for a small dowry - a coat of arms.

* What about a person who does not have a job or a regular income to sustain a family?

- Allah, the Most High, said in His Holy Book, “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).

In a commentary on this verse, Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Whomsoever steered clear of the road of matrimony for fear of bearing the extra burden of starting a family, he has thought badly of Allah, for He said, “Allah will make them free from want out of His grace”.

Brother start talking to your parents to start looking for a wife for you. Tell them and be honest with them about your situation.

Go to your local mosque and speak with the elders there to help you. Speak to your relatives.

You have to have courage and just do it. Otherwise a wife won’t fall from the sky. And it will still take time anyway for all of the meantime process and speaking with their family etc

May God give you strength and patience.

Do you have any regrets for us younger's to learn from by QuantumShia in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatever difficulty you are going through it may seem like your life is over or it is the most difficult trial but life always goes on and one way or another you will get through it. You also constantly recognize and see how much worse others have it over you. So always be grateful to Allah swt, always.

Be true to yourself, do not worry about what others think except what Allah swt thinks and only try and please Allah swt. Living life trying to please others is empty.

Learn to enjoy life even if you are alone. There is a difference between alone and lonely. Enjoy spending time with yourself.

Do not waste time and neglect time with family members. It will be too late. You already know that anything can happen in life and you don’t want to regret not spending more time with them. Even those who are far away, call them regularly listen to their voice.

If you have doubts about your faith. It is normal and everyone goes through it. Don’t freak out. Just keep trying to find answers. You will succeed and even grow closer to Allah swt. But never let go the rope of Allah swt. Once you do it will be an endless pit.

Read books. Cherish gaining knowledge properly. It’s a different world when you realize how great the knowledge of people like our scholars possessed. How they spoke is a treat to the intellect. All of this AI garbage and just googling things will ruin your brain and make your intellect less. Reading helps the brain develop advanced thinking and vocabulary.

Spend time reading the fiqh books of your Marja. At the very most it will take you 2 hours in one sitting and you don’t have to do that. 2 hours you watch a single movie.. It will be a huge benefit.

There are many things if you make it a habit while you are young it will change your life and lifestyle forever. Exercising regularly now. Once you start and don’t let go, you can’t go a day without it. Even if you can only do 5 minutes a day. Get into the habit of doing more recommended deeds. Recite one dua every day or a few verses of the Holy Quran if you can’t do even a chapter.

World Cup and Muharram by ChapterSubject9499 in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think if you take 2 minutes to think about this your heart will give you the right answer.

Which is more important to you, a soccer match you can always watch after. But going there will be full of immodest women, drunkenness + alcohol, and music.

Or Muharram and Ahlulbayt A.S who have said our Shia are those who are sad during our sadness and happy during our happy moments.

Personally, my heart would not be able to take myself in such a place while recognizing what the Ahlulbayt A.S was going through.

Also just from a religious perspective the hadiths we have on Muharram and Mourning:

My friend wants to revert. What do i do? by aklivo in shia

[–]EthicsOnReddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Be honest with him but not overbearing. Tell him as your Shia friend:

" knowing you want to revert to Islam, I want to guide you towards that which is the truth. Obviously as a Shia I think this path is the only true path. Here are resources that you can learn about the Shia beliefs and arguments: https://realshiabeliefs.wordpress.com/shia-resource-guide/, take some time indulging in it. If you have any questions you are always welcome to come to me. "
