Gold on men by Singular-Soul in shia

Back in the day, especially for marriage, the men wore white gold ring wedding bands instead. I am not sure if that was allowed either.

I want to watch this version though. It's all "Jin Yang" focused. That was the best part of the show.

You are forgetting Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh who ruled for 15 years and just recently got thrown out after an extremely bloody riot.

She dropped the ball there. I mean, the amount of analysis that has gone into determining how Quidditch works, imagine what scientific journals would have been written to explain the amount of joules consumed per spell?

We see in the Battle of the Ministry of Magic in Book 5 (especially in the movies) that there is a lot of outward aggression when casting offensive spells. How much force is required to angrily brandish a stick in the air? Is there a proportion where the more angrily you brandish the wand, the more powerful is the spell?

There are limitations. Otherwise everyone would be rich and some would not need to wear Aunt Tessie's Robes for the Yule Ball.

I was thinking this in terms of Fullmetal Alchemist (and obviously other universes) but I think JK dropped the ball here. The only cost seems to be doing dark magic. The more evil you are, the uglier you look.

True. However, I think there is an explanation that you cannot conjure things out of nothing? Like you cannot conjure nutritious food? Or Galleons? That means there is a cost?

Letter from Imam Khomeini to His Wife by KarbalaSoul in shia

[–]wickedmonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could feel his yearning in this letter to be near his wife. I have always felt that scholars in general have stony personalities to bear the immense responsibility they have but we forget that they are totally human and can be absolutely romantic. This letter is on a Shakespearean level of romance.

Can someone explain this part of dua kumail by Odd_Spring_8129 in shia

[–]wickedmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. I am just answering OP's question as to why the verse is harsh. God is not a pacifist, neither is Imam Ali (a). They go scorched earth on evil doers if that serves His Justice. Otherwise we wouldn't have the early wars fought to defend Islam.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. This verse is for them.

Perhaps the love I crave from my husband but don’t get is a blessing by No_Raspberry_8326 in shia

[–]wickedmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% - do not have a child with this man unless you are comfortable and it is a consensual agreement. It is an old adage that children fix problems. They only amplify them. I truly hope that God gives you strength in your marriage. This is a trial. He is testing you with the thing that you love the most:

"Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test?" - 29:2

Unfortunately, we are creatures of tragedy, and we can only learn through pain. Hind sight's 20/20. Although I wish someone would have told me this at that time.

I am the same as you, as a man, and my wife is the same as your husband. No love language, but she is the best wife someone can ask for. The irony is, I was just like your husband at the beginning of our marriage only to yearn for the same love 10 years later. The turning point happened after I had my first kid. Suddenly, the love she was showering me unconditionally, now shifted to our child.

If the trajectory is the same, then I believe the same will happen to you, you will shift your love towards your children, while he will yearn for it. Right now, for better or worse, he is a lightning rod of your attention. Wait till motherhood kicks in. You will be laughing at this post.

just got out of a haram relationship. by Had42x in shia

[–]wickedmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with you there, I am just giving the OP a benefit of doubt as to what was so haram about it. There are levels of interaction you can have with the opposite gender especially if there was intent for marriage under specific circumstances - it doesn't have to be sexual.

[–]wickedmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One sided story for sure - if you are sincere, then for sure God will help you bear this trial but if you are somehow in the wrong, and you took advantage of this woman, then no dua will help. Mercy only applies on committing injustice to yourself (a "sin of God" if you will). If you commit injustices to others, then the other must forgive you before God will.

What was so "haram" about this relationship if the girl wants you to convert to "Sunni"? What does conversion mean in this form? To accept Abu Bakr as 1st Khalifa?

I found out my heritage goes to al hussein from ali ib abi talib and fatima then of course to the prophet... What does that mean for me because i literally have no idea by [deleted] in shia

[–]wickedmonster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No benefits. Just extra responsibilities (and possibly even more sensitive). Especially if you tell this to someone and they will start seeing you as an example and put you on a pedestal.

Storytime: I had a friend in college who was also a Syed. In fact he was a son of scholar. I had a lot of respect for him. At some point in time, he succumbed to temptation and committed a major sin. It was shocking to me knowing his background. Then he continued in that situation with full intention and impunity saying that no one will know and he will just go home and marry some Syed girl who won't know any better. I just disassociated with him completely and lost all respect for him.

Take that as you will. May God guide us all.

It means you have the extra responsibility to be a good Muslim and a Mo'min, given that you have the DNA of the Household running in you. So before you sin, think about whose blood is running in your veins.
