aa, I think you fail to understand a simple fact which SFU is trying to explain that calling Ya-ali madad is niyaa based. It is the intention of the caller who calls ya-ali madad . In this regard even if you call Ya-allah madad and your niyaa or intention about Allah is not the as the glorious God i...

His Ziyarah! Peace be on you, O son of the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds! Peace be on you, O son of the Commander of the Believers! Peace be on you, O son of Fatema, the luminous lady! Peace be on you, O beloved of Allah! Peace be on you, O choice of Allah! Peace be on you, O trustee of Allah...

His Admonition You should know that Allah has not created you vainly and will not let you pass to nothing. He limited your terms of death and arranged your livings so that every intelligent will realize his actual position and realize that whatever Allah has disposed for him will unavoidably befall...

His Outstanding Merits Imam Hassan(a.s.) is the Lord of the youth of Heaven. He was one of the two persons in whom the progeny of the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, was limited. He was one of the four persons through whom the Prophet(pbuh&hf) made the contest of prayer wi...

His Ethics Imam Hassan (a.s.)'s ethics were excellent examples for people. So everyone respected him. Everyone loved him when he associated with him. When his friend or his enemy heard him talking or delivering a speech, he was sorry that he (Imam Hassan(a.s.)) would end his talking or his speech. ...

His Worship Imam Hassan(a.s.) performed the hajj on foot twenty-five times. When he mentioned death, he wept. When he mentioned the grave, he wept. When he mentioned the resurrection, he wept. When he mentioned crossing the sirat (a kind of bridge which only the righteous can cross on the road to P...

Scholars are doing real dawah work unlike these fatemi duat who just are khane peene ka daee.

Is this the way you do dawah.

g wasila of dead people\martyrs

Do you think the martyrs dead ? Quran has to say something else.

We know him and address him as Imam Ali, Khalifa rashidun. We accord all honors and consider him first among equals. We do nor worship him.

Neither do we worship him.

Why Prophet did not proclame Ali as Imam in Mecca in front of whole Umma but at Gadhir in front of Muslims returning to vicinity of Madina? A stupid question. Rather than thinking on what happened, you are breaking your brains on something which didn't happen. Event of ghadeer is one of the most do...

As per Imam Jaffar 9/10 of his Islam is taqiya and I translate it as deception.

You sound arrogant. It is your hatred towards shias which clearly reflects here. Imam jaffer sadiq(as) is a highly revered personality in Shia and sunni school of thought and to insult him is not humane.

Yes you are right according to Bohras, the roza of Janabe Zainab(as) is in Cairo, whereas as per shia 12vers it is in syria. Regarding the return of head of Imam husain(as), it is believed by shias and sunnis to be in Karbala with the body, which is different from the beliefs of fatimids. http://en....

I guess this is the reason he is no longer allowed entry into KSA. Your statement is false. I remember Sayedna visiting Mecca for umra a couple of years back and thousands of bohras flock every year for haj and umra. I understand non-muslims are not allowed in Mecca, but presence of bohras in the h...

extremist Wahhabi clerics in Saudi Arabia have called for the destruction of holy shrine of Lady Zaynab.

What type of Islam are these clerics following. What will they achieve in destroying holy shrines. It is sad...

Definition of Innovation is "something new or different introduced". Definition of revival is "restoration to use, acceptance, or currency: the revival of old customs." To common sense Both words do not look same. However if you want to interpret Innovation as revival and continu...

The same sahih also quotes Umar calling it a innovation. So both the hadith cannot be sahih.

In our jamaat, the cake cutting for the b'day of Muffaddal bhaisaheb on the night of qadr had already started last year.

There is a new Farmaan in which all bohras have to wear Pheran and ring (angoothi) on the night of Qadr.

What about "Vashek" and 2 rakat namaz for the dai which is now clubbed with Mansoos ? Is it in line or a Bidah ? None of these are prayed in a congregation. They are prayed independently by people. There might be no problem with Tarawih as long as it is prayed by individuals separately. I...

Tarawih Offered in congregation (Jama'at) during Ramadhan. Usually starts after Isha prayers. Tarawih is a bidah in the following sense Rasool Allah(saww) never offered any such (20 or 8 rakah) prayers after Isha prayer. What he offered (and people joined behind him for 3 nights) was night prayer (i...

Umar said: “What a good innovation this is. But the prayer that they forget about and sleep is better than the one they are offering.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1906.

Innovation itself means Biddah.

May this holy month help us in our spiritual journey towards Allah(swt) awakening us before the death awakens us. Month of Ramadhan Mubarak to all.

Hz Umar talking directly to a stone , which is not dead but non-living. By AA's logic this could also be called shirk.

May ALLAH swt fill the graves of Ulemas with noor who leveled the dargahs of baqeee ameen.

We strongly condemn the action of those who desecrated the mausoleums at Jannat-al-Baqee. We pray to Almighty Allah(swt) to help us in re-building the mausoleums at baqee.

For some beautiful readings on the month of ramzaan- http://www.duas.org/ramexcel.htm

The Prophet's sermon Shaikh Sadooq relates from an authentic source that Imam Raza (A.S.) related from his ancestors, who related it from Ameerul Momineen Ali bin Abi Talib (A.S.) that latter said that one day, the Prophet of Allah delivered the following sermon to them 'O' People! the Month of Alla...

Why dont you understand that even the graves of haz ayesha were leveled not with an intention of grudge but to implement the command of the prophet pbuh. Which command are you talking about. Salafism is a pure form of Islam, it is free from all kinds of innovations and impurities, and therefore it’...

Is this a "authentic saying of prophet(pbuh)".
