I think this is Shia stuff and I don't hate Shia (except maybe the ones that hate the Mother of the Believers) but I think this should specify that it's Shia if it is indeed Shia
It is a stuff of Eman. I dont think you know anything about Eman.
Sahih Muslim, Hadeeth # 240 (international numbering)
Ali (radi Allahu unh) narrated "By Him (Allah) Who split up the seed and created something living, Prophet (may peace & blessings be upon him) gave me a promise that no one but a believer will love me and none but a hypocrite would nurse grudge against me"
IMHO, that is the biggest Fazilat of Ameer ul Momeneen R.A. His love is the litmus test of Eman.
Mind your language.It has nothing to do with Shia or Sunni... All Muslim love Hussain and Ali (radi-allahu unhum) regardless of the sect
Whatever you're using.. the internet is work since you able to post the crap here.
Oh I seeMind your language.
It is easy for you to B'S
What goes around comes around ...so kindly stop spreading your ignorance from Sweden. ..try living here then you would know when not to spread BSOh I see
You're posting on PDF so it proves two things that there is electricity and internet... oh the irony..What goes around comes around ...so kindly stop spreading your ignorance from Sweden. ..try living here then you would know when not to spread BS
And it is beyond and above sectarian affiliation. I have seen many Salafi scholars who are not on the pay rolls of any govt, subscribe to the same, rather they go beyond and even seem like shia but without abuses towards the companions of the Holy prophet (peace be upon him) and without the exaggerations.
What is the BS ... saying the truth is BS for you?What goes around comes around ...so kindly stop spreading your ignorance from Sweden. ..try living here then you would know when not to spread BS
Nobody talked about electricity. ..communication cuts and fluctuating Internet. ..fluctuating means it is available but not as it should be...are you really an engineer?You're posting on PDF so it proves two things that there is electricity and internet... oh the irony..
Irrelevant to this thread. Move to some other thread or open a new... do not derail it.Mind your language.
It is easy for you to B'S since you are not facing the difficulties of the everyday citizen sitting in Sweden!
Network was fluctuating since 8th here in the capital city called Islamabad. ..
We couldn't get careem
We couldn't contact family friends who wanted to come over but were stuck in traffic
We couldn't contact relatives who were sick. ..
I am not sure if Allah ever dictated that your own neighbour be bothered let alone whole cities!
I say the same for those who do parade on any given day....closing a city is not a religious duty nor achievement that pleases the almighty!
