#Arafah is decisively one of the most important pilgrimages to the shrine of Imam Hussein. Wherever you are, send your salutations to him

Instead of scrolling photos & videos uselessly before sleeping, take 15 minutes to pray Salat al-Layl.
ومن الليل فتهجد به نافلة لك عسى أن يبعثك ربك مقاما محمودا
And rise at part of the night, offering recommended prayers, so your Lord may raise you to a station of high praise.

Even though, without Imam Al-Sadeq, none of the four Sunni sects would exist - as all of their founders directly or indirectly learnt from him - you don’t see his name anywhere in their scholarly discourse.
It is intellectual dishonesty & treason of the highest order.

Imam Sadiq (A.S.)
اِقْنَعْ بِمَا قَسَمَ اَللَّهُ لَكَ وَ لاَ تَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ وَ لاَ تَتَمَنَّ مَا لَسْتَ نَائِلَهُ.
Be content with what God has allotted for you, do not look at what others have, and do not wish for what you cannot acquire.

A man in Norway is sparking backlash after being sympathetically profiled on television for his "trans-disability."
Jørund Viktoria Alme is able-bodied, but uses a wheelchair "almost all the time" because he identifies as a woman who is paralyzed.

Imam Ali (A.S.)
الْمُؤْمِنُ مَأْلُوفٌ وَ لَا خَيْرَ فِيمَنْ لَا يَأْلَفُ وَ لَا يُؤْلَفْ.
The believer is sociable, likes others and is well-liked by them, and there is no good to be found in one who does not get along with others and whom people do not get along with.

THREAD: Allamah Al-Majlisi’s position is unimaginably lofty. Not just based on his monumental work in compiling the Prophetic legacy (ex. Bihār al-Anwār, 110 v’s), or his refreshingly deep grasp of the nuances of Quran/Hadith (ex. Mir’āt al-‘Uqūl, 26 v’s), or his 100 other books

So we took the advice of @SayedModarresi and involved our kids in the celebration of our Imam (AS). The eldest daughter had a lemonade stall serving kids and workers of our neighbourhood outside our home. It was an absolute joy to witness. Thank you syed!

In case you doubt the sectarian and hate-based nature of some of these executions in Saudi Arabia over the weekend, as @Reuters reports, some of the charges included having "deviant beliefs"!
