"Amr Bil-Ma'aroof begins at home...": 5 short maxims of Imam Al-Jawwad (as).

O God, if the best for me with Thee lies in delaying the taking to task for my sake of him who has wronged me and in refraining from vengeance toward him until the Day of Decision and the Gathering of Disputants, then bless Muhammad and his Household, strengthen me from Thee with true intention and lasting patience, give me refuge from evil desire and the impatience of the greedy, and form in my heart the image of Thy reward which Thou hast stored away for me and the repayment and punishment which Thou has prepared for my disputant! Make this a cause of my contentment with what Thou hast decreed and my trust in what Thou hast chosen! Amen, Lord of the worlds! Thou art of bounty abounding and Thou art powerful over everything. Imam Sajjad (as) Sahifa-e-Sajjadiyah

5 short maxims of Imam Al-Jawwad (as).

Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) said:

God revealed to one of His prophets: Your asceticism will give you comfort. Your devotion to Me will endear you to Me. But, did you antagonize My enemies and cherish My disciples?

2. It was related that highway robbers stole the large amounts of cloth that belonged to Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him). The head of the caravan sent the Imam a message in which he informed him of that news. The Imam (peace be upon him) answered him:
Our souls and riches are within the pleasant gifts and the deposited loans of God Who makes us enjoy some of them pleasantly and delightedly and seizes whatever He wills with rewards and merits. He whosoever intolerance overcomes his steadfastness will waste his rewards. God protect us against so.

3. Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) said:
He who detested a matter that he witnessed is as same as those who were absent from it, and he who was absent from a matter that he loved is as same as those who witnessed it.

4. Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) said:

He whoever listens to a caller is serving him. If the caller was God’s representative, he is then serving God

the caller was the Shaitan’s representative, he is then serving the Shaitan.

Dawud bin Al-Qasim related: I asked Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) about the meaning of ‘samad’. He said:

Everything that lacks navel is ‘samad’.
I said that people claim that ‘samad’ is everything that lacks interior. Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) commented:
Everything that lacks interior lacks navel.

I'm not an Alim, but a Muslim, aspiring to be a better one, I wake up in the morning, with the intention of hurting no one, I sleep in the night with intention of dreaming sweetness, such sweetness, not only favorable for me, but for every lover out there of the AhlulBayt. See... I'm just a Muslim, not an Alim...

I am willingly happy to allow my dear viewers to present the names of their murhumeen, their issues or questions, and will try my level best to answer them. Any suggestion or question, please contact at raees.mustafa@gmail.com AhlulBayt is the proximity to the length of every out-cast of knowledge, it defines the irregularity with beauty and realm, therefore it's making sense for me to follow them not for any personal desires regarding the want of something, but entirely due to the fact that they inspire me to be followed...

A person once came to Umer IbnKhattab, and informed him of the Fajr's Adhaan. The person saw Umer was sleeping, and went forward to say: Salah is better than sleep. Umer on behalf of that woke up, and ordered the person to add this phrase into the Adhaan. From there on, Shian-e-Umer and Ahl-e-Sunnah, have not stopped from reciting this phrase in the Adhaan, though this article, with much more research, as the time passed on from there, have proven that this phrase is Bid'at.

Mu'awiah and Imam Ali (as)'s issue has always been a dramatic station in the history of Islam and mankind in fact. No one really dares to get into the history of this notion, but with knowledge, it's easy to define, who's on the right side and whom on the wrong. Is it really that matter, I thought Mu'awiah and Ali were friends, great companions whom served the Prophet (saws)! No, it was in fact only one who did, and did it with the best style too! Imam Ali (as) was highly disrespected by Mu'awiah, and this particular article focuses on What religion Mu'awiah died upon, and what him and Saa'ad bin Abi Waqqas discussed when Ali's name was mentioned...

In this article, we briefly examine the ideology behind prostrating upon Soil, or most famously known by the term of Turbah. Turbah is the small piece of mud/clay, which is placed upon the prayer mat (by Shias) on such an angle and position, high up, so that every time they prostrate, go into a sajdah, the forehead rests upon that. However, this act performed by Shias within their act of worship has lead to a huge misconception and many even now believe it's Kufr and Bid'at. But is it... Read to find how it's the Sunnah of the Prophet!

Previous article established the grounds upon which we are going to discuss within the coming articles as well as some lectures too. It's quite staggering to see, how the enemy of Islam is worshiped like an idol, and then is remarked as a companion. History tells us his character and his magnificent way of boasting, getting rude and killing brutally, but even then, some don't realize the truth, be warned dear readers, this article does contain some very sensitive information, and some Sunni Alims from 2-7 centuries back have called him the enemy of Islam openly!

Who killed Fatima, one of the biggest issues of both sects, my view, as mentioned, is not harm any person's faith or religion's ethics, in fact, through there own research and sources, we see that the reality of Umer's killing of Fatima, is mentioned clearly. In this article, we look at some of the great Sunni Alims, and even one of the teachers of Imam Bukhari, and examine, what he wrote in his book. As well as that, a refutation to the idiots, working on and off the internet, with media around them, dropping every energy of attention upon them to convey a rubbish message across the youth and mislead Ummah! [Must read]

Prophet Muhammed (saws) is a blessing from Allah for not the whole mankind, but for all of Allah's creation. And what he says is the direct word of Allah! We read in the authentic Sunni sources, Prophet having to curse Banu Ummayah, their generation coming, and a very highly respected individual by Sunnis - Marwaan Ibn Hakam! Yes, Prophet (saws) even cursed him, and cursed him so brutally that the history of Sunnis is blank with this important Sunnah left untouched! Shias, are the true Ahl-e-Sunnah!

It is a highly well known of the verse, that killing a person innocently is like killing the entire mankind. Imam Hussain (as) was the victim sincere brutality and hatred, awarded by the terrible Yazid and Umer Ibn Sa'ad. In this Article, we examine how Imam Hussain (as) and his meeting of the tragedy of Karbala was described by Prophet (saws) himself!

Salaam, as the title dearly suggests, we are looking into one of history's biggest events and mysteries, though this mystery is only for the illumine hibernated truth, and an event to shocking for the truthful, every time he hears it. To day, I hope to discuss some incredible ahadith, which identify whom mourned for Imam Hussain (as) other than Shias

Backbiting is a common factor in our lives, which helps us to become great sinners, lest that be our last wish to stand by the Lord of sins - Shaytaan. In this article, we site how Allah has attributed this sin to be of the greatest worships of the Devil. And Insh'allah, no Shi'ah will be performing it - especially the the one of Ali...
