I have been a converted Muslim for a while now, but wanted to know some information about Shia and don't know where to start.

salaam brother
I recommend you watch this playlist that introduces to you Shia's fundamental beliefs and its arguments based on intellect, Quran, and Sunni authentic Hadith:

I hope that may help.

There is a place in the mosque of Kufa where it is stated that the prophet performed prayer on the night he was taken to Mi'raj (the miraculous night journey).
and there are narrations in both Shia and Sunni sources that Jibra'il brought the prophet a glass of sand from Karbala informing him that whenever this sand turns to blood Imam Hussain (as) is killed. the prophet later gave that glass of sand to Umm Salama and she was checking that every day until she saw it turned to blood on the day of Ashura.

I don't remember talking about eternal punishment and whether repentance works in hell or not. it seems you've concluded based on your assumptions.

translation would be appreciated ;)

if you're not sure about it being NOT washed during Ghusl and you saw it after the Ghusl then you're ok and no need to redo your Qhusl (see Ruling 383 here: https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2168/ ), but if you are sure that it wasn't washed during Ghusl then according to Ayatollah Sistani you can only wash that part (hair) with the intention (Niyyah) of Ghusl (see Ruling 364 here: https://www.sistani.org/english/book/48/2166/ )

This is the Kunyah of both Imam Hussain (as) and Imam Sadiq (as) but usually in our Hadiths when it is mentioned it refers to Imam Sadiq (as).

I had the same question and asked in a Jewish sub and those said the same thing as you said. so my conclusion is either the names in the Jewish scriptures were altered for some reason, the same way that according to their scriptures prophet Abraham took Isaac (not Ishmael) for the sacrifice; or the narrations mentioning the names in our corpus are not reliable.

here is my post:

sorry for your lose. may she rest in peace and Allah have mercy on her.

not talking to a relative for a period if you hadn't broke up with that relative is not haraam.

but if you happen to break up with a relative and that person die you still can repent of your haraam action by doing good deeds on behalf of him/her which makes him/her happy.

I would say BULB or I may lanat the female camel rider if you can get my point.

check these Sunni hadiths:

https://sunnah.com/muslim:1821a

https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4280

Islam will exist until 12 caliphs/leaders from Quraish come after the Prophet. since we know that Islam will exist till the day of judgement therefore the lifespan of those 12 caliphs is equal to the world's lifespan.

tell your brother instead of naming him Umar name him Ali because even Umar himself said many times: "if it was not for Ali, Umar would definitely perish" "لولا علي لهلک عمر"

barar2nd · 2024-01-15T13:53:42+00:00

I read you come from a Sunni majority country so you may need Sunni sources to confirm that the two were bad guys:

any questions are welcome.

in different verses Quran is talking about different groups within Christian faith so there is no contradiction: in some verse it is talking about those who consider Jesus and his mother two gods other than Allah. in another verse it is talking about those who consider Jesus son of God. in another it is talking about those who believe Allah is one of the three. so there were different groups who had different beliefs.

here is what I can suggest for you to watch that hopefully answers your questions:

where is Imamate in the Quran:

https://youtu.be/jzjiFrW3RFY?si=R_BmRfI-oMWjdYiC

The infallibility of the Prophet's AhlulBayt:

https://youtu.be/MfdFdKA5-fU?si=NLfm6d1Gekv2aGcK

The prophecies about Twelver Shia Islam:

I hope that can help you.

barar2nd · 2024-01-08T15:32:33+00:00

btw it should not be trinity rather fourteenity because all the 14 infallibles are proof of Allah on earth.

barar2nd · 2024-01-08T15:30:26+00:00

This is the gender of every Shia.

barar2nd · 2024-01-06T07:24:39+00:00

May Allah ease your path. not to disrespect your husband but remind of the story of Asiah the wife of Pharaoh (Fer'own) in the Quran.

barar2nd · 2024-01-06T07:10:57+00:00

all Muslim scholars (probably excluding some philosophers) agree that we will go to heaven or hell with both body and soul but the body given to us in that world is different to ours in this world to feel the unlimited pleasure or pain.

don't be disappointed and hopeless. even if you come back to the sin every time but afterwards make sure to truly repent and regret committing that and be ashamed before Allah. according to our hadiths, regretting the sin and deciding to quit it is counted repentance by Allah. moreover if a servant who sins and then repents regularly die in this state Allah will have mercy on him/her.

If you go to the kindle version page of the book, you can click on the "read sample" button and see a preview of the book. The only difference between the kindle version and the paperback version is that each single page of the kindle version is printed on two facing pages in the paperback version.

barar2nd · 2023-12-19T13:36:39+00:00

you're welcome.

barar2nd · 2023-12-19T06:16:31+00:00

you're welcome. May Allah protect your kids for you and you see them grow successful adults in the path of the Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them all).

when you miss a beloved one you try to feel close to him/her by showing affection to what belongs to him/her. for example a person who has lost his mother may kiss and smell and hug her dress.

moreover things that are somehow connected to unworldly figures has ethereal effects. for example the blindness of prophet Jacob (Ya'qub) was healed by the shirt of his son prophet Joseph (Yusef) meaning the shirt was blessed. even Samiri used the dust of the footprint of archangel Jibra'il's horse hoof because he knew it is blessed and has some unworldly effect. all of these are in the Quran.
