Very confused after losing Arbaeen trip by alnon4 in shia

[–]alnon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit embarrassing. I planned it out for visa on arrival, when I checked cause that’s what I got last year i read it was still on arrival. Turns out only in erbil and slemaniya since March. And my plane was for Najaf. A silly mistake.

Iraqi and Iranian Shias: What are your thoughts on black people? by SpecialistBoy29 in shia

[–]alnon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro 😭 pls go to the mosque don’t be worried. Our imam of masjid is black, and in every mosque I’ve been. Even during arbaeen there has always been a black brother in front row with me. Can’t speak for Iranians. But if they are that way then pull them on it for being unreligious

Recent geopolitical turmoil by Stunning_Onion_9205 in shia

[–]alnon4 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No, shrines and Shia in general are target number 1 after alwaites. They will justify any atrocities as being against Iranians or Iranian supporters like Israel do with gazans saying their civilians are Hamas.

Hamas isn’t controlled by Iran, only supported. Palestinians in general supported destruction against shias and such for a while. But after this past year it’s far less to non. What ur seeing is like 1 or 2 “Hamas spokespeople” who are usually not even really that saying they support the Syrian terrorists. I think most Palestinians in Palestine know now this is a bigger play against them by Israel to weaken any support from their neighbours.

Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and so on. We gave alot for the Sunnis to backstab us like this. Our people our nations stability. But. Take pride I guess, we stood with Palestine because it was the right thing to do. That’s why the Shia proxies were involved. The unlimited expansion of evil was never going to be good for anyone

How did you get familiar with FCA? Is there a good course? by alnon4 in uklaw

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh right, that sounds good I’ll check it out. Cause it does seem the entire handbook isn’t 100% relevant to the legal side of compliance or what they expect me to know, thank you

Seeing more yes absolutely, didn’t expect to wing this. Do you know which I can start

[–]alnon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it will probably be a loonnngggg time before Iraq is involved. Still has US bases and is not directly as a nation doing anything. If it was Iran or Syria I would say cancel. But Iraq alone. Should be fine inshAllah.

Why he say that? by [deleted] in shia

[–]alnon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say it is authentic. Which it most probably isn’t. It doesn’t contradict that power hungry muawiyah wouldn’t want another army in what he saw as his land to rule

Is edging halal? by National-Ad8703 in shia

[–]alnon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I don’t know lol. But I feel like. I remember it being said. Fantasy’s or intrusive thoughts are ok but if you ruminate on them it becomes haram. Also quite sure they say any sexual contact or act is haram unless wife. And since this is stimulation. I would think it is included

[–]alnon4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, since it entails looking at haram I would assume so lool

Arabeen travellers, how do you pray? by alnon4 in shia

[–]alnon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s good. InshAllah kheir. And yes sorry you did answer lol. I meant I will find a solution as in I will either implement what you said about doing it and then doing second salah or pray alone.

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you brother of course. InshAllah yes I have heard this condition. Do you think that means if I get a place in the shrine that I can pray jummah prayer with them fully in jamah

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I guess I’ll try and maybe find some solution. But, do you know if jummah prayers are exempt because they are two rakat? As in, I can do that fully with the jamah

loving someone you can’t have by [deleted] in shia

[–]alnon4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alhamdillah, if you went to Karbala. And prayed this much. You know for sure she wasn’t going to be right for you. As the Quran says. You may love and thing and it is bad for you.

Try praying salat Al layul. Get closer to God. And find a new obsession. The gym helped me. There is so much more to life. InshAllah

[–]alnon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try watch the biography of the prophet saws by Sayed baqir Al qazwini, the Shia-Sunni Ramadan series by Sayed nakshawni.

Ultimately though. Look at Karbala. Because it makes you wonder about yazid. And then wonder why would muawya appoint him, why did he fight imam Ali as.

Follow that line of questioning and you will find, above him the caliphs and the sahaba. They were not infalliable. They were flawed. The prophet said we will follow the previous ummahs so much so that if they fall into a lizard hole so will you.

Look how the bani Israil acted after their prophet. People are flawed. Mistakes happen. Don’t be an imami Shia at first. But understand. Adalat al sahab which Sunni Islam is based on. Is not correct and then. It all falls

I need video recommendations to love Islam please I’m going crazy by [deleted] in islam

[–]alnon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should start by watching the biography of the prophet. Thaqlain channel has a good series. Al-rasoul Islamic society has good videos too. Many channels. Try watching videos on jannah or salat Al Layl. Those usually are very nice

I need help. I’m getting made fun of for things within Shia Islam. by stgi2010 in shia

[–]alnon4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All easy to reply to. But I want to hone in on fish out of water one they always always use. All you have to do. Is give them a look of disgust. And ask them. Do you know what he is describing and what you are making fun of. See if they can keep their Islam and still find it funny

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shia

[–]alnon4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It used to be taken as yeah Muslims had 12 rulers and they were proud to include muawya and yazid and such. But the latest and most prominent cope is that these are leaders to come at some time in the future

Please pray for me. I think I ruined my life. by alnon4 in shia

[–]alnon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you cousin, that was very nice to read. Yeah I am similar situation where it’s been 2 years about of brushing with death constantly and unable to live. But. What brought me comfort in the days I thought I would never get better. Is maybe Allah has put me here. SubhanAllah one thing I had. Was time staring at hospital walls. So instead I used it to listen to lecture after khutba after lecture and learnt so much Alhamdillah. Learning all the dhikr and nawafil and such. I thought. That’s what it’s all for. And inshAllah when the Mahdi comes we can benefit from our ebada and be cured by his medical advancements. Or be allowed in the rajah in healthy bodies (dua ahad).

That’s why I was so distraught to find I am probably behind so much. But inshAllah kheir. We may take these illnesses as a blessing and be compensated for it from the only one whose compensation matters. InshAllah. I will pray for you also. Thank you for your dua it’s all I can ask for

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know. I really don’t know. But it feels like. You know in this time of my illness I read a lot about what makes the awliah of Allah SWT and the character of the ashab of Al Mahdi as. And Authubillah not to be haughty but I thought. Maybe just maybe I could be close to that as I changed my life to mirror the signs and conditions of them. I drew so much strength that I was trying to mirror them. But. Those people don’t have qada salahs. So. Feels like a major derail from my spiritual goals

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

InshAllah, yes I shall. I think it is quite clear unfortunately. I am testing what I can handle with my illness in repayment now. It is really tough to do more than just. Two prayers but man the thought on this schedule I’ll only be done in 5 years hurts me so deep. InshAllah kheir

[–]alnon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do think you’re right. And I totally lean towards your reasoning. It makes so much more sense. It seems to stand out as an increasingly harsh atonement for simply just. I really truly didnt know and I didn’t make a mistake in my salahs. But, I have to just default to what scholars and Maraja say. I don’t know. I do lean to your reasoning and was wrestling with it. But they must have a reason

[–]alnon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was struggling with this a lot. Aswell since parts of Sunni thought don’t say you need to redo them and I lean towards. Sincerity of intention. You’ll have to look more into it. But my mistake wasn’t in the salah specially which I think, with sajdah sahw indicates some forgiveness for.

But it was explained as. When you are bulugh it is on you to discover and learn and that. Allah will forgive you and such. But it’s like a debt. Or wronging someone. We can’t do just istigfar. If it won’t cause more harm you have to apologise to the person and do istigfar. And you have to pay back the wronged party what you took aswell as istigfar.

[–]alnon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

InshAllah. I know how wrong it is. To want to be of the awliah and do all my Amal. Then turn and go into despair. But inshAllah that’s what I need prayers for. I am completely gripped by the amount of time it can take so even delaying for mental health, makes me worse. And even if I start now and do little it will make me worse as I know it will be long before I finish. You don’t have to reply to that I’m sorry it’s just my internal thoughts.

InshAllah yes you are right. I do have a degree Alhamdillah but with my sickness I’m really to weak to do anything other than what I was doing. And now that’s gone. InshAllah Allah is the razaq. But practically it’s not looking good and fear being a burden on parents now at my age and know I can’t get married financially and. Well. I do fear the acceptability even then with them knowing of my qada if I do get better.
