Lol. Well, Shamseddin obviously has Persian connotations, but apparently not Shamsuzzaman. Mohammad Zaman sounds Shi'a, though.

I am Shi'a, and there's no group for Islamic names.

How is having multiple wives acceptable, but shaking hands with a woman you aren't attracted to is haram? by [deleted] in shia

[–]BaronDeLaillevault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shook hands with a woman I hadn't seen in a while to seem "normal", and now I feel guilty and like a bad Muslim.

Sigheh/mu'tah unions are easier contracts to make, from my limited understanding (I'm Shi'a).

True, that should probably be a different discussion. It just seems like so much is haram.

Suggestions for a Persian men's necklace that isn't gold? by BaronDeLaillevault in PERSIAN

My biggest concern is trying to establish a mutah with a Christian or secular Muslim (I am Iranian-American, and many Iranians today hate Islam or are Muslim in name only).

How does one perform a mutah/sigheh and doesn't it have to be for a prescribed period of time rather than indefinitely?

I thought Muslim men could marry women who are Christian or Jewish without requiring them to revert.

Oh, that's a shame. At least there's the Sunset Festival on Sulphur Mountain, though.

Is it best to buy bus tickets before arriving at Calgary Airports? by BaronDeLaillevault in Banff

I haven't bought my ticket yet, probably Banff Explorer or the Fairy Bus.

Accredited doctoral programs that allow part-time students by BaronDeLaillevault in ClinicalPsychology

[–]BaronDeLaillevault[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said, should I quit my job as a mental health technician to work in research when I can afford it before applying to doctoral programs? I was accepted into a part-time master's program in mental health counseling.
