The heart of Islam is connection —but today’s communities echo with silence, smiles without souls, rituals without spirit, and charity without sincerity. We were told what would happen to our communities. That Islam would become a name without meaning. A body without soul. A shell without heart. And today, we see it. We gather in mosques, but our hearts are strangers. We scroll through posts, but truth is met with silence. There is no pulse, no reciprocity, no real humanity. Only performance. Images. Phrases. Platitudes. We are surrounded by a form of community. But what good is form without function? Smiles without sincerity? Rituals without repentance? Our faith taught us that community is not attendance. It is response . It is heart . It is care that moves, truth that reaches, and souls that meet. But today we see what Imam Ali (as) warned of: that the body of Islam would remain, while the spirit would be lifted. You put out knowledge—silence. You call for sincerity—silence. ...

A stranger in a land that invited him, abandoned truth, echoes of Karbala, silence,   A shadowed street of ancient Kufa lit only by flickering olive oil lamps, evoking the silence of betrayal. In the distance, the faint silhouette of a lone figure—firm, still, unseen. Civilization sleeps. Truth walks alone. 🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊 THE FACTS: Muslim bin Aqil (AS) was from the family of the Prophet (ﷺ). He answered the call. He came as a stranger to a land that had invited him. He carried the banner of truth. But no one listened. He was betrayed. He was left alone. And still… he stood. 🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈 They chose silence. They chose fear. They chose blindness. But truth does not vanish. It waits for those with basira (inner sight). Muslim bin Aqil (AS) was not just a messenger. He was Karbala before Karbala. And every time we turn away from truth today, we repeat their crime.

Divine inheritance transcends politics and borders; true heirs embody faith, justice, and the Qur’an’s guidance in Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond. The principle of divine inheritance is universal and transcends national or ethnic divisions. Just as with Palestine, the true inheritance of Lebanon—and indeed all sacred lands—lies not in political control or lineage but in spiritual readiness and moral character. "Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes it to be inherited by whom He wills of His servants." — Surah Al-A‘raf (7:128) The True Inheritors Are: Those who embody the Qur’an not only in words but in actions and essence. Those who reflect the divine Names: justice, patience, mercy, truth, and reliance on God. Those who rise above ego, division, and inherited conflicts to seek sincerity and righteousness. This spiritual framework applies equally to Lebanon, Palestine, and any land infused with faith and history. Divine inheritance is granted based o...

Divine inheritance belongs to those who embody truth, patience, and the Qur’an — the true inheritors of Palestine’s sacred trust. A Qur'anic and Spiritual Perspective "Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes it to be inherited by whom He wills of His servants. And the end belongs to the righteous." — Surah Al-A‘raf (7:128) Palestine is not just a geopolitical cause — it reflects the spiritual state of the Ummah. Divine inheritance is granted by Allah to those who meet His conditions, not by bloodline or force. Allah reminds us in the Qur’an that He can replace a people with another when they fail to uphold His guidance: “Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” — Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:11) The True Inheritors: Those who carry the Qur'an in their words, actions, and being. Those who embody the Names of Allah in character: justice, mercy, truth, patience (sabr), and reliance on God (tawakkul). Thos...

📚 1. Prayer Timings in Shia Primary Sources The main Shia sources affirm five daily prayers, but the timing and combination (e.g. combining Dhuhr + Asr, Maghrib + Isha) differ slightly in practice from Sunni schools. The core prayer timings are derived from: ✦ Qur’anic Basis (as understood in Shia tafsir) Surah Hud (11:114): "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night..." According to Tafsir al-Qummi and Tafsir al-Mizan (Allama Tabataba'i) , this refers to: Fajr = beginning of the day Dhuhr/Asr = midday (first end) Maghrib/Isha = night (second end) Surah Al-Isra (17:78): “Establish prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and the Qur’an of dawn…” This ayah is often cited in Shia jurisprudence to support combining prayers without a pressing reason , based on Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadiq’s teachings. 🌟 2. Hadiths from the Ahl al-Bayt (Peace be upon them) Shia hadiths provide deeper spiri...

  🌊✨ The Water Remembers: Qur’an, Breath, and the Healing Science We Forgot In 2004, Dr. Masaru Emoto revealed that water is deeply responsive to our: Words Emotions Intentions When exposed to love or prayer, water crystallizes beautifully. When exposed to negativity, it turns chaotic. 💧 In short : Water responds to vibration. Water remembers. And water heals. 📿 This isn’t new. Muslims have always known: We recite Jawshan Kabir over water, we breathe the Names of Allah into it, and we drink — seeking healing through intention . Our duʿās are vibrational acts . Our breath carries Divine Names . Water becomes a living mirror of our words . So why are we surprised when modern science confirms what the Ahlul Bayt (ʿa) already taught? 🩹 Centuries earlier, Imam Jaʿfar al‑Ṣādiq (ʿa) said: “If that man had been massaged, he would still be alive.” Not metaphor. Literal healing through touch , breath , oils , frequency — all intrinsic to Islamic ...

"When Scholars Become the Trial — and Silence Holds the Truth" There is a silence that speaks louder than any noise — the silence of missing truth in places where it should have reigned. Imam Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq (ʿa) warned us that a time would come when the Qur’an would remain only in name — and the scholars who were once meant to be its carriers would become its biggest obstacle. “The scholars (fuqahā’) will be the worst among people — through them tribulation will spread.” (Al-Kāfī, al-Ṣadūq, al-Hassanain collections) Today, we are in that time. The voices are louder than ever — and yet, guidance is harder to find . 🕳 When Form Replaces Essence We were told: Mosques will be full — but guidance will be absent. Religious leaders will recite beautifully — but live hypocritically. Scholars will lead — but not toward Allah. Imam al-Ṣādiq (ʿa) described them clearly: “They follow the errors and corrupt learning of scholars… They do not enjoin good or forbid...

Real light comes not from voices — but from reflection. We were warned — now it's time to ask: have we reflected, or just repeated? 📖 Reflections on Scholar Integrity and Divine Return We live in an age where religious presence is loud , but the home of truth in the heart is hollow. Platforms, slogans, rituals — all visible. But what about the unseen? The unseen is what the Imams (ʿa) warned us about. ⚠️ 1. Corrupted Scholars & Empty Ritual “In the End‑Times, people will follow scholars of misguidance… The scholars (fuqahā’) will be the worst among people… through them tribulation will spread.” — Imam Jaʿfar al‑Ṣādiq (ʿa), Bihar al‑Anwār We see this unfolding: scholars who preach but do not live, whose presence brings more confusion than clarity. 🌫️ 2. Ritual Without Guidance Traditional signs of piety — busy mosques, recitations, sermons — become hollow when essence departs . This is no longer a sign of revival, but a warning of decay. 🔱 3. Corruption of Aut...

"Not all messengers are sent to speak. Some are sent to see who listens." Reflecting on the silent mission of Muslim ibn ʿAqīl They say every era has its signs. But what if the first sign is sent in silence ? Muslim ibn ʿAqīl wasn’t sent to rule. He was sent to witness . To walk the streets. To knock quietly. To see if hearts were ready. He came not with armies, but with a letter . Not with force, but with trust . So the questions must be asked: Who carries this role in our time? What kind of person is sent ahead of a greater arrival? Would we recognize them — or would we explain them away? Would we hear them — or would their voice be too subtle, too unfamiliar? What happens to a city when its chance to host truth quietly passes through — and is missed ? And finally: If Muslim ibn ʿAqīl were to walk into our gathering today, would we open our door — or wait to see if anyone else does first?

  “You alone we worship...” — إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ — is not just a phrase to recite. It is a spiritual test. This truth comes alive when we look beyond the words to the hearts behind them. 🔍 The Qur’an’s Mirror: Who Truly Lives “Iyyāka”? The Abjad value of إِيَّاكَ (You alone) is 32 , pointing us to two illuminating verses: Āl ‘Imrān (3:2): “Allah — there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting.” This is the Divine Reality we pledge to alone worship — the source of all life and presence. Al-Baqarah (2:3): “Those who believe in the unseen and establish prayer...” These are the ones who truly embody iyyāka — they live by what cannot be seen yet are real. 🌫️ The Invisible Divide: Intellectual Belief vs. Functional Trust Too often, people say they believe in the unseen — the hereafter, the spiritual realities — yet their daily actions tell another story. They acknowledge the unseen with their minds but do not live it with their hearts. “It’s ...

  ✦ Reflection: Who Do We Truly Worship? “You alone we worship, and You alone we seek help from.” إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ Surah al-Fātiḥah (1:5) This reflection began with a deep study of the Abjad — the numerical value of each Arabic letter. When we calculated the total Abjad value of this verse, it came to 836 . That number led us to a series of Qur’anic verses and Divine Names that appeared aligned — not by human design, but by the Qur’an’s own hidden architecture. It’s as if the number 836 served as a doorway, pulling together other verses that echo, confirm, or invert the spiritual declaration made here. This verse is often recited without pause — yet it contains one of the heaviest declarations in existence. It separates light from shadow, sincerity from performance, true tawḥīd from hidden shirk . It is a mirror verse : whatever is false cannot stand long in its reflection. 🧭 Where Do We Actually Turn for Help? In today’s world — even in...

Speaking the World’s Language with the Light of Revelation Khamenei calls on seminaries to engage globally—mastering science, politics, and language to share Islam’s voice with clarity and confidence. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei insists that today’s seminary students must go beyond traditional texts and immerse themselves in the realities of the modern world. A sincere commitment to Islamic scholarship demands understanding the intellectual, political, scientific, and cultural forces shaping our time. “Knowledge rooted in faith, expressed with global fluency.” The Modern World is Not a Threat—It’s a Terrain for Guidance Khamenei challenges the idea that the modern world should be feared or avoided. Instead, he calls for critical and constructive engagement . This means: Studying modern scientific and technological advancements not only for awareness but for the ethical and spiritual insights they demand. Understanding political systems and international power dynamics , so schol...

Seminaries in Action: Serving Communities, Guiding Society Seminaries called to serve beyond study halls, providing counseling, dispute resolution, and moral guidance to build stronger, faith-rooted communities. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei emphasizes that true religious scholarship cannot be confined within the walls of the seminary. The role of seminarians extends deeply into the community, where their knowledge and spiritual insight become tools for meaningful social transformation. “Scholarship in service of society: Beyond the classroom, into the heart of the community.” The Seminary’s Role in Social Welfare and Moral Guidance Khamenei calls on seminarians to be active agents of change and support within their communities . This includes: Social welfare efforts such as assisting the needy, organizing charitable work, and supporting vulnerable groups. Offering counseling and guidance to individuals and families facing personal, spiritual, or social challenges. Playing a ke...
