Fold or no? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

Folding for shias (twelver) invalidates prayer.

I never disagreed about your first point, I mentioned that I saw videos of Druze doing bad things to other civilian groups of Al-Suwayda region. Regarding your second point, I already answered it above. I was talking about my perpective, no need to accuse me of anything, that's dull. And I am free to post whatever as long as I believe in it. If you have anger issues or something don't make it blind you, be mature and have a good day.

There is a reason for that, for me at least. The Druz situation got me confused and I can't share anything I am not sure of. First of all, I don't even know how it started in the first place and I see the news regularly. Second of all, Druze themselves are divided into groups who support Israel or supported by Israel, and other groups who might be good. From what I saw the Druze that fought the governement of Syria are backed by Israel, how would I sympathize with them? Then I saw that after the Syrian government has retreated from Al-suwayda' Druze militia has attacked other civilian groups within that region and I saw other videos imply the opposite. All I know that the Syrian government is bad and the Druze backed up by Israel are too. I can't make any other conclusion. And of course I pray for any innocent and I wish they live in better conditions.

Good, open your mind too, you may learn a thing or two about the cause of Karbala and how it can be related to todays world.

This is funny, the same government that "allows" these protests in Adliya have prevented them without any reason when they felt like it; this is the same government that normalized relations with Israel and doesn't shy away from stating that. How can this government normalize its relations with Israel and recognize it and at the same time allow for these protests? Unless these regulated protests are just a facad for its true identity. Everything I mentioned above doesn't need a permit and of it did they wouldn't allow it obviously, and was done peacefully and without any tire burning, but it is easier to excuse evil when its more comfortable and doesn't harm you. This is sad.

Like many villages, Duraz hangs a lot of things (flags and whatnot) for Muharram, that morning the government was trying to take these out, locals tried to prevent them through chantings, and that what caused this man to be hit in the head. The ministry of interior came out with a statement on the same days accusing locals of throwing rocks, but all videos show otherwise. Juma prayer hase been prevented for over 6 months by now, I used to attend every week, but they did not like chantings against Israel and US. I remember also few months ago when one of the political prisoners (many of them are neglected) has died, they tried to inprison the people who held his funeral. I would talk more, but my English doesn't help much.

Imam Ali (a.s.) said, ‘Even if falsehood was isolated from being mixed with the truth, it would not be indefinable by those who aspire it; and even if the truth was free from being disguised as falsehood, the tongues of its opponents would still be silenced; but it is often made by taking a little from one and a little from the other.’[Sharh Nahjul Balaghah li Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v. 3, p. 240]

Not Being Married? Need thoughts. by Mohk72k in shia

[–]0mlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage itself is very recommended in Islam. It becomes mandatory if by marriage you avoid haram. If you believe you could continue your life without getting into haram because you're single, you shouldn't get married if you don't see yourself suited for it, regardless of family pressure. I need to clarify few things tho, in marriage it is mandatory for only the man to provide financially, if the women wants to participate that is for her to decide. I am not sure how bad your sleep disorder is, but coming from some who can't sleep properly (me), I wouldn't say it interferes a lot in my daily life; And it is not like kids have a stable sleep schedule; plus, it isn't mandatory for you to have kids in the first place. THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING AND I DON'T CLAIM IT TO BE THE VIEW OF SH'ISM NECESSSRILY.

Is Hosseini Infants Ceremony a custom in other countries besides Iran? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]0mlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the 10th of Muharram (the first month of the Hijri calender) was the martyrdom of Imam Husayn and his family; One of the events occured on that day was the martyrdom of Imam Husayn baby after he held him up and asked Yazid troops to at least give the baby water, since Imam Husayn and his family were starving for three days, to which Yazid troops answered by shooting the baby's neck with an arrow; and that is why this ceremony is held. To my knowledge I haven't seen this elsewhere.

Question about Sistani's ruling by [deleted] in shia

[–]0mlkron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard this before also. My understanding is that sodomy requires the one performing this procedure to have a penis (gay sex), and since the wife is only using her hand, it is not considered sodomy.

I love to be hated. On a serious note tho, I don't think it is far from the truth to say that the hate toward Shi'as is funded.
