This world is a prison for the believer

Question 25: What is the meaning of the narration from the Messenger of Allah pbuhap and from the Imams pbut, “This world is a prison for the believer” [1]?

Answer: It has also been narrated from them pbut, “Prayer is an ascension for the believer.” [Kanz al-‘Ummal, vol. 7, p. 279.] So this believer is the same as that believer [from the above narration], and the believer here is not one who just believes in Islam and the allegiance (Wilaya).

The best of works is Wilayah

It has been narrated from Ahlul Bayt (a.s): (Verily, the best of works are Wilayah ([accepting the authority of and following Ahlul Bayt a.s.]) and Innocence ([declaring oneself innocent from the enemies of Ahlul Bayt a.s]). Meaning, taking the Supporters/Devotees of Allah as an authority over him, and they are the Prophets and Vicegerents, and being enemies with the enemies of Allah, and they are the enemies of the Prophets and Vicegerents and the enemies of their Shia (followers). So which work is put forth before the other, Wilayah or declaring oneself innocent [from the enemies of Allah]?

The Martyrdom of Lady Fatimah

Unfortunately, after the martyrdom of the Messenger of God, Abu Bakr, and Umar broke into Fatima’s house to force Ali bin Abi Talib to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr. This incident resulted in the injury of Fatima pbuh, the miscarriage of her son al-Muhsin, and her death shortly afterwards. This was just as the Messenger of God, Muhammad pbuhap, promised her: that she would be the first one to follow him. Thus, she was the first martyr mentioned in the Sacred Will of the Prophet.

In Memory of Zainab

In memory of Zainab, daughter of Fatima daughter of Muhammad pbuhap entering Syria as a prisoner, we remember that Yazid bin Muawiya Ibn Abu Sufyan, may God curse them all, slayed al-Hussain and imprisoned the daughters of Muhammad (pbuhap) in the name of Islam and in the name of Muhammad. And Satan’s purpose for this is to bring back the worship of Hubal that Muawiya and Abu Sufyan, may God curse them, fought for before, but to bring it back in another form.

Rights of Women in Islam

It is written in the book of jurisprudence in the chapter of marriage that it is not permissible to have intercourse with a woman before she is 9 years old. I understood from this that it is permissible to have intercourse with a girl starting 9 years old.
Through my work, I encountered many cases where girls would be subjected to extreme bodily harm because her body is not yet developed to handle sexual intercourse with the husband. Also in our societies and in our era today a girl in this age is still considered a child and does not yet have the mental and physical maturity to bear the responsibilities and duties of a contract with such importance. So why did God make permissible the marriage of a girl at such a young age? And is it true that a girl can be married off as soon as she is born?

Tatbeer – Ban on bloodletting on Ashura

So who wants to do Tatbeer, he can do it in his house away from the eyes of people; thus, this is better as his work will be devoted for Allah if he really asked for the face of Allah by his work.
Whereas who does it in an arranged and grouped form and in front of simple people especially the dissenting people and non-muslims , then they are causing people to alienate from Islam and thus their work is HARAM
