Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas is behaving in a theatrical manner these days. It is very much like "now you see it, now you don't,"The talk about his mythical "letter" or "ultimatum" to Israel reminds us of the notorious illusions of the past few years such as the "September entitlement," the Annapolis conference and the numerous other lies and events orchestrated in coordination with the U.S. and meant to deceive and mislead ...
The Worldly Benefits of Kindness to Relatives
Numerous reports (Rawayaat) testify that Sileh Rahmi (kindness to one's relatives) also has worldly benefits. Like, increase in the life-span, postponement of death, increase in the number of descendants etc., Hazrat Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) related three traditions from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) in the court of Mansur Dawaniqi (l.a.).

The Prophet of Islam (Peace be upon him and his family) has said:
"The Salat is the most important act of worship in the religion. If Allah (SWT) accepts one's Salat, then all other acts of worship will be accepted, and if the Salat is not accepted, then all other acts of worship will not be accepted either."
He (Peace be upon him and his family) has also said:

More ludicrous than this is that when we want to make a study regarding the human rights of women we refer the matter to young boys and girls print questionnaires and try to find out by the way which they are filled in what human rights and whether the human rights of women and men are the same or different.
Anyhow we are seeking to make a study in a scientific and philosophic manner about the human rights of women on the basis of intrinsic ...
The Salat in Islam is the greatest stimulus to faith and the high point in the life of a human being. A person who gives up reciting Salat has no faith in Islam and is far from humanity. While reciting Salat, we stand facing the Qiblah, ie. ka'bah which is the House of Allah in Makkah, and enter into discourse with our loving Creator. The Prophet (SA) has recommended that we should recite Salat in a mosque in Jarnah (congregation) with our ...
desires and sexual feeling, Islam has also enunciated the easiest ways of satisfying sexual desires and fulfilling sensual feelings. It has ordered its followers to marry at the beginning of puberty. It is the most recommended way.
The book also describes the punishment prescribed in Islam for adultery. It also discusses the way of life recommended by Islam which; if followed strictly; would minimise or even eradicate the practice of illicit ...
Amirul Momineen Ali (a.s.) says in Nahjul Balagha:
"One who claims (verbally) and says that I am hopeful of the Mercy of Allah, is a liar. By Allah if his claim is genuine then why is his sincerity not reflected in his actions."
It is true that hope and fear are inner feelings, but they are manifested in one's actions. Hence, Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says, "The Proof of fear is flight and the proof of hope is the effort to come ...

Beyond doubt, kinship with the Messenger of Allah is both a unique privilege and superiority over others. Hence, God considers the honor of kinship with the Holy Prophet (s.a) as part of the honor of nearest relations when we read in the Holy Qur’an: “and warn your nearest relations” (26:214).
Elsewhere, God says: “and most surely it is a reminder for you and your people” (43:44). It is for this reason that God Almighty has ...
The above hadith makes it amply clear that not fulfilling someone's right or delaying the repayment of debt is equal to Khayanat. Consequently, all the traditions that are recorded in the chapter on Khayanat are equally applicable here and the Prophetic traditions have described Khayanat as a kind of oppression.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has announced:"A Muslim who inspite of being capable delays the repayment of debt has committed ...
The fact that the doors of the companions’ house open to the Masjid were closed except that of `Ali proves `Ali’s unique position.
Ahmad ibn Hanbal in Musnad has quoted Zayd ibn Arqam as saying: The doors of houses belonging to some of the Holy Prophet’s companions opened to Masjid which they frequented at will.
One of the days, the Messenger of Allah ordered all the doors to be closed, saying: You have to close the doors opening to ...
It is probably true that many within the American political establishment would like to have good relations with Islamist movements in the Arab world. The reason for this unlikely propensity has nothing to do with any sudden, infatuation or love affair with political Islam on Washington's part. The U.S. consistently viewed Islamist groups in the Middle East and beyond with sullen hostility and convulsive animosity, especially after the ...

There are several questions related to Karbala or the movement of Imam Al-Hussein (a.s.), as well as other questions concerning the method adopted by the "weepers" and the "bereaved" for studying Ashura tragedy, which was far from the scientific methodology in reading history, mainly when it comes to the contradicting historic texts and traditions that some might take a certain approach and others take a wholly different one.Did Imam Al-Hussein ...
