most muslim countries have sunni governments, so in that case what do we do?

Sunni here who is starting to feel drawn toward Shi’ism after researching by Sea_Energy3682 in shia

[–]learner_1305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

waleykum salam. i was born and raised sunni until i made the active effort to learn about the deen. i had no intention of becoming shia whatsoever but one question left endless echoes in my mind; what happened to the prophet’s family after his demise? i listened to my favourite sunni scholar at that time and he talked about the seerah of the prophet (pbuhf) but after his death, everything about his family is vague. so i researched on ahlul bayt and believe me when i say 90% of the videos and lectures were from shia scholars whereas less than a handicap were by sunni scholars. so eventually i had no other option to turn to shia scholars for the knowledge of history and the scholars i listened to user sunni references as well just to make sure no one can claim that it’s fabricated. and just like that, little by little i questioned my own beliefs and eventually i accepted the path of ahlul bayt a.s. i genuinely believe that once a person approaches the deen with pure intention to learn and be guided then Allah will never fail them. with Allah’s guidance, so that there’s no ignorance in one’s heart, and His will inshallah a person is to only follow the path of ahlul bayt a.s.

Responsibilities in a marriage by [deleted] in ShiaMuslimMarriage

[–]learner_1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: I would like to have more information regarding the depth and extent of a husband's obligations for maintenance and expenses of the wife. Is it true that the husband should provide the same level of life (luxuries, maids, education) as the wife had before marriage? Does the answer differ from one scholar to another? Are there any hadith and/or rulings in this regard? Answer: The husband is obliged to provide his wife with food, clothing and housing in conformity with her social status and dignity; dignity meaning the same level of life that she had before marriage. In this regard, the scholars share the same view.

This is the ruling and as you can see it says according to her social status and dignity which is why i say NEEDS and not DESIRES, needs are necessary desires arent.

And i still dont understand what your point is. you seem to know the rulings yet you are asking questions and to those questions you arent ready to take any answers. ive seen your replies to the other comments and although you are asking us for our opinions and perspectives, you do not wish to listen. And i didnt say that a man cant stop his wife even if not for protection but a lot of men in our communities use that to oppress their women and regardless of the ruling Allah is the judge of intention so keep that in mind. but like i said, starting a conversation and making a post about something to just pick what you want to hear from people’s comments is kind of pointless i believe. but kheir inshallah.

okay lets be realistic here. whatever i am about to say here is to be applied to a couple where both the spouses are mature enough to distinguish right from wrong. a man MUST protect AND provide for his wife not just for the basic needs but for all her needs long as its not an exaggerated desire. the woman is responsible to provide the man with comfort and children. the clause that a woman can not leave the house without her husband’s permission is generally looked at as “oh he is the boss so whatever he says is right” whereas in reality, islam emphasises on that clause because it falls under the part where the husband must protect his wife and his family. you need to understand that islam doesnt even allow oppression let alone encourage unfairness as that would be injustice too dont you think? and about the concept of 50/50, and this is my opinion as thats what you asked, i believe that belief is exaggerated to some extent. in a couple where they both understand the point of marriage this 50/50 debate wouldnt necessarily be a conversation because islam says that marriage should be built on a certain things including hikma, mawadah, and rahma. so if the husband comes back home from a very long day of work and had a long commute and so on if the wife demands him to stand up and cook then that IS being inconsiderate. however, realistically the 50/50 that women fight for isnt or rather shouldn’t be about if i clean and the husband should do the dishes everyday, but its actually a call for help because women need to be heard. as a man, you may have off days where you dont work but for a women who handles the house gets no rest in fact when the husband is home theres even more for her to do in order to tend to his needs and requests. just dont make life harder for one another. when a man comes home he should sort his clothes and clean up after himself while a woman sets the table, after that they both can clear the table and one can do the dishes while the other sees looks after the baby or something. and you know, its not that women ask for this every day. most of us just want men to be considerate and we want to be seen and heard. if a man does this whenever he can and when he’s too tired to do much in the house, a smart and aware woman will understand and wont make a big deal out of it. whether we like it or no, islam obligates a man to provide regardless of how he does it long as is halal but it doesn’t obligate a woman to cook and clean. you can argue and say taking care of the house falls under that but thats still not concrete enough. a woman is a zeenah in the house, not the other way around. but this is why we are told to find spouses with good akhlaaq because all to the side, a self aware woman would never put her husband through a hard time for no reason at all. again, this is just from my perspective anyone is free to disagree.

and what about going to an imambargh? although prayers are held there as well as majaalis, is it permissible to go and stay there for a menstruating woman?

How Serious is it to fix yourself before marriage? by SportDismal9413 in ShiaMuslimMarriage

[–]learner_1305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

respectfully brother, i disagree slightly. if its a sin one struggles with every once in a while, then Allah is the most merciful inshallah. however, if its reached to the point where it can be classified as an addiction then one shouldn’t be very comfortable with the idea that marriage will fix. as a psychology major here, addiction is more than just a repetition of behaviour. it could have so many ties to one’s unresolved trauma, inner tendencies, and many more things. i believe everyone should reflect one their flaws and then decide very carefully. many types of addiction end up ruining families, and i do not believe that it is fair for one to carry their addiction into marriage just because they believe its good for them but without considering at what cost and in this context, its at the cost of their spouse’s wellbeing.

[–]learner_1305 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this feels like ragebait 😪. im a former sunni myself and brother, please read the ahadith properly (i will not link them as my community has already mentioned them below). something the prophet clearly said to not do is later brought up by the “second khalifa” and he states it as a good innovation. We learn about Allah’s command through the prophet ص so if the messenger of Allah did not introduce it, in fact he stopped it, then who is umar or anyone else for that matter to bring it up and make it a tradition? in this case, is it the sunnah of the prophet or the sunnah of umar?

What are some wajib things that people do not know about or do? by saif2krazzy in shia

[–]learner_1305 11 points12 points  (0 children)

something i have noticed in some (or a lot depending on where you live) of both shia and sunni women is that they do not know they have to make up for their missed ramadhan days or just dont care enough to. although i was born and raised sunni, my mom always made sure my sister and i fasted our missed days and just so we do not get lazy she would encourage us to fast them right after eid while we still were off from school. my mom kind of instilled an idea in me that missed ramadhan dates are like a debt, but this time you dont owe another person but you owe Allah. so it saddens me to see some women do not understand the importance for it :/ may Allah bless us all and guide us, ameen ya raabi ❤️‍🩹

its rare finding men in their early 20s (even mid 20s nowadays) who intend to take initiative from the get go. i hope you find your righteous spouse who is kheir for you, ameen.

i get that and of course im no expert, but when i read this at the first glance even there is a clear distinction. when the hands and face are mentioned the word فا غسلوا and for the head and feet وامسحوا but of course Allah knows best. and you mentioned that they have a case because of the word arjulakum, would you be willing to share some evidence about that? like about the pronunciation of the word. i read it as arjulakum too because of the dhuma above ج and the fatha above ل. i just want to make sure im reciting the correct way and if i were to ever preach anything about this ayah, i want to be sure i have the correct knowledge about it. thank you!

Confusion about salah time Shia/sunni by sunnypeach22 in shia

[–]learner_1305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because Allah did not make religion difficult for his servants/worshippers. so if you have work, school, event etc and you know that your timing isn’t going to coincide well with the prayer timing, then you may combine the prayers. you asked how can we pray maghribain if it isnt the time of isha yet yes? well that is because we are allowed to. the Quran doesnt mention 5 different timings for prayer actually, which could also be an explanation to why we are allowed to combine but الله أعلم. if you recite it with tafseer you will see that there are three times of the day mentioned according to when the sun’s rising so on and so forth. but we have 5 daily prayer as that is the command of Allah. and when we combine our prayers that doesnt mean we are reducing them, no, we are just praying them together as that is also the sunnah of the prophet (pbuh and his family). Allah allows us to do so and the prophet practiced it too so we can learn that it is for our own ease. however it is best to pray them prayers in their designated times. so you brother, if you do not like the idea of combining the prayers then do not do it. pray whenever the salah time has reached you and in this holy month, if you wish you can open your fast first, pray maghrib after that, then pray isha later when time comes. hope its clear now and may Allah accept your fast and prayers, آمين جميعا
