L-hassan and l-hussayn

I dreamt of the leaders of the children of paradise: L-Hassan and l-hussayn.  L-hussayn looked taller and thinner than L-Hassan. And both were beautifuly handsome

Gardening

Abu Zahra said that
umm fahtima said:
I saw rasoolullah saas (in a dream). He was in a the garden standing in front of plants and flowers, tending to them. He said

"you cannot displease your Lord
to please your mother"

Consequences

The following hadith recorded in Bukhari contains proof that Islamically we must consider the consequences of our actions before deciding whether to do something :

"One of the greatest sins that a man may commit is cursing his parents. The people asked O God's Messenger ! How may a man curse his parents? The prophet SAAS replied: the man abuses the father of another man and the latter answers by abusing the father and mother of the former"

Sincerity humility

Sincerity comes from not doing the act for other people (only doing it for God)

Humility comes from not thinking good of yourself (thinking good of only God)

Quran Warsh Sale

in surah Yusuf
Yusuf as has a dream
of a Sun, moon and planets
the Sun represents the father / masculine
the moon the mother / feminine
the planets the brothers

this is an interesting analogy
since the prophet saas is symbolised by the moon
perhaps, for mankind, the feminine qualities are preferred over the masculine ?

Goal setting

A vision without action is a daydream
Action without a vision is a nightmare

Human bodies are 3d but are our spiritual souls and Jinn 4d?

Stop. Do NOT read further. It's better no one knows.

They're watching us. Yes, them.

They're breathing down our neck. NO. Don't look back. It’s futile, because we beings of 3 Dimensions cannot perceive their higher dimensional presence.

Ever felt a chill up your spine, or a goosebump, or as if someone's under your bed at night?

You’re not wrong. They watch you change clothes, have sex, and read this answer. And you can't do anything about it.

Imagine looking at individual cards (with no height) on a table.These cards can move left, right, or anywhere on a table. One card can say Hi to another card by touching it sideways. But, living in a 2D world would mean that the cards would never be able to even comprehend that someone is even looking at them.

Let's say you place a bowl on the table. A bowl is a three dimensional object, but the card only sees just the bottom cross section that has appeared from absolutely nowhere in its 2D world.

We can interact with 1D and 2D beings, but they cannot until we allow them. Similarly, by the same analogy, we can say 4D beings can be watching us right now, embedded in an imperceptible reality.

This is the Embedded Universe Theory.

Psst. It is also believed that they do not like 3 dimensional beings talking about them. And when someone on Quora tries writing an answer about them, they kill him/her before he/she completes the answ

be careful how you translate

Narrated: Uqba bin Amir
that the Prophet (SAW) had given him sheep to distribute among his companions and a male kid was left (after the distribution). When he informed the Prophet (SAW) of it, he said (to him), "Offer it as a sacrifice on your behalf."



Someone who wanted to take this hadith out of context and purposely imply a different meaning may show it like this:

"...a male kid was left. When he informed the Prophet (SAW) of it, he said (to him), "Offer it as a sacrifice on your behalf."

implying that a "kid" (young boy) was ordered to be sacrificed, as opposed to the correct meaning that a "kid" (young sheep) was ordered to be sacrificed.

Satan's tricks

If he doesn’t persuade you to do a bad deed,

then he’ll dissuade you from doing a good one.

if he doesn’t dissuade you doing a good deed,

then he’ll dissuade you from doing it well.

If he doesn’t persuade you to do your good deed badly

then he’ll persuade you to do your good deed so well, that you won’t be able to live up to it again, and it will be easier to dissuade you from doing it next time.

Thus Moderation is key; Walk the middle path - don’t stand still and don’t run.

Unrepentable sin

Do you know why polytheism [shirk] is the only sin you can't repent from?

All other sins can be forgiven if you repent to God (swt) and ask Him alone to forgive you for doing that sin.

But someone commiting the sin of polytheism [shirk] would be asking for forgiveness from other than God (swt)

Ahlu l-bayt

The family of the prophetic-household (ahlu l-bayt) is not only the descendents and wives of the prophet SAAS...but it is actually the family of prophet Abraham a.s. ...and most other prophets a.s. are part of his ahlu l-bayt through his younger son ishaq a.s. or eldest son Ismail a.s. (i.e. Muhammad s.a.a.s. and his family and even quraysh)

Prison dajjal

A tsunami had hit this place a year ago all of a sudden out of the blue
Maher and many others went out that day and just didn't come back
Rouhy and I were by the coast and rouhy wanted to take a small paddle boat to search for Maher at the closest island ...Greece
I said ok then
But a couple by the coast overheard what we were trying to do
I asked is it close ?
They said no.
I asked how long do you think it will take by boat
They said a few days
I said what! Thinking it would be less than a day
We didn't even have any food packed for the journey
How could we go I asked rouhy
We'd starve on the way
But she wasn't thinking rationally
She only cared about finding Maher
She walked off somewhere looking
I followed her
Then the place turned into a large prison or metallic colony cell
Everyone from that seaside village that was hit by the tsunami was in it and prisoners there or servants
Including us

Someone was standing in the centre
Then the door to the prison arena opened and a man stood in the doorway
A military general
He looked stern and strict
Scar faced with a pointy cheek bone
And angular features
Square jaw
And thick eyebrows
Very serious
He had soldiers near him or prison guards
Everyone was scared of him
(I think he was dajjal)
No one dared question him

But someone from the other side of the prison arena could be heard laughing at him and taunting him
The voice wasn't from a prisoner within the colony but from a supporter outside of it
There was light coming from that direction of the voice
The person in the middle looked worried but then gained confidence from the voice to also stand up to the general

The general just listened carefully and didn't change his facial expressions
He waited for them to stop talking and then simply said
"Fine. Challenge accepted"
And turned slowly and walked back out the doorway

I thought he would kill them for what they said but he didn't
I was surprised he didn't do anything at that moment
Not even get angry
Although it felt like he would plan something much worse for us all

And he was
He ordered a giant fire to be built
And then ordered it to be covered or disguised by pouring water over it but the fire didn't extinguish
Then the fire boiled the water but he ordered it doesn't let it boil with many bubbles so that people don't know there is a fire there
Then someone suggested to him to add poison to the water too to make them die quicker
He approved
Then he ordered a big ribbon to be tied around the poisoned boiling water tank with an inferno inside
And next he was ordering everyonebin in the colony to take bowls to drink from it
No one knew of his plan
Except those whom Allah SWT willed

And then a servant woman from the colony
She began getting revelation from Allah SWT
And her nose bled
And her eyes closed and face looked in pain
And then a voice said to me aren't you pleased or isn't it good enough that rouhy and fahtima are like her.

flaws of logic

Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ja'far (ra) asked Abu Hanifa (ra)
“ Which is a greater and more severe crime and sin: murder or adultery?”
“Murder,” answered Abū Ḥanīfah.
Abū ʿAbd Allāh Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad asked him,
“Then why did God require four witnesses for cases of adultery,
so that an adulterer can only be punished through their testimony,
but He required only two witnesses for murder,
so that when they testify that a man committed murder he should be killed?”
Abū Ḥanīfah fell silent.

quran and sunnah

striving with our freewill doesnt mean we deny fate

Satan knows logic - the flaw of logic

Satan is reported in the Qur'an as saying
«‘ I am better than he! You created me from fire, but you created him from clay.’»

Satan compared fire to clay,
saw that fire was better than clay,
and concluded that someone who is created from a better substance
is superior to someone who is created from an inferior substance.”

From this we learn:
1) Satan is intelligent enough to use logic and trick us with it. 
2) Logic can and often does lead us to conclude the wrong answer.

Poem

I cried in the darkness of my mother's womb
And i cry in the darkness of my rotten tomb
Forgotten

Just as I forgot that I entered the world naked
Yet accumulated wealth as I waited
Only to leave once again ...naked

Why did i think so highly of myself?
Was it my wealth that i left behind?
Was i so strong? Was it my mind?
Always right - never wrong?
Or did i live so long
in warmth and health?

But my life was but a breath
A dream that ended at death.

3 Tough questions for a shia

1) God swt honours Abu Bakr (Ra) and 'Umar (Ra) with a burial place right next to the prophet (SAAS)
2) 'Ali (Ra) and his son l-Hussayn (Ra) and his son 'Ali Zaynu l-'Abideen (Ra) honour Abu bakr (Ra) and 'Umar (Ra) by naming their children after them
3) one of the earliest branches of Shi'ism; the Zaydis, honour Abu Bakr (Ra) and 'Umar (Ra).

Upon

السلام عليكم
I was just reflecting on something and I realised the difference between saying
و ما انزل الى ابرهيم ...

And what was revealed TO Abraham a.s....

و ما انزل على ابرهيم ...
And what was revealed UPON Abraham a.s.....

They both are almost identical in meaning but the subtle difference is that الى implies something Abraham a.s. was aware of receiving whereas على implies something Abraham a.s. was unaware of receiving.

So if I say السلام إليكم peace be to you ...I am asking for the peace to be given to you while you are aware of it...

But if I say السلام عليكم peace be upon you... I am asking for peace to be given to you even while you are unaware of it
