Who are Shiite?

Mahdi Movahed-Abtahi

How do you differentiate between the real Shi`a and seeming Shi`a Muslims?

May you apply any criteria to exclude false seeming cases?

Are current Shi`a (as they claim) eligible to be among Imam Mahdi`s 313 followers?

"You will find our Shi`a around the world, as those who;

1. Does not bark as a dog [he does not persecute any one because a dog barks; either it attacks or is afraid or even if let it goes]
2. Does not descend as craw [toward a litter morsel].
3. Does not beg from people even starves to death.

This is a statement from one of the prophet Muhammad`s offspring. Please guess which Imam he was.

Siekh Muhammad No`mani narrated this tradition in his book; Al-Qeibah, Page; 238-239

شیعه کیست؟

شما چگومه بین شیعه واقعی و شیعه نما فرق می گذارید؟

آیا برای کنار گذاشتن مواردی که شیعه نیستند اما شیعه نما هستند، هیچ معیاری دارید؟

آیا این شیعه مصطلح صلاحیت این را دارند که از جمله 313 نفر یاران امام زمان (خدا بر ظهورش شتاب کند) باشند؟

"شما شیعیان ما در اطراف جهان می یابید، کسی که مانند سگ پارس نکند (زیرا سگ چه بترسد چه نترسد، چه پیش آید، چه پس رود، باز هم پارس می کند)، کسی که مانند کلاغ فرو نیافتد (زیرا کلاغ به طمع هر آشغالی که به خیالش طعمه باشد، فرو می آید)، کسی که دست نیاز به پیش مردم دراز نکند اگرچه از گرسنگی بمیرد"

این جمله ای است که یکی از اهل بیت پیامبر اسلام (درود و سلام خدا بر او و خاندانش باد) فرموده است. اصل روایت مطالب بیشتری دارد: شگفت انگیز و سخت، شیرین و دوست داشتنی!

Feminism or Realism?

Guess who did predict the following statement:

"It will come a day in which women are bare and undressed, passions, exhibiting those matters that the religion has rejected, entrancing in sedition, hurrying for pleasures, permitting what are forbidden, and are eternal in hell!"

You will find this tradition in Rawzat al-Mottaqin, page; 106

Mahdi Movahed-Abtahi

Many people suppose that the Quran does not include any verse related to Hijab! Others may think that the Quranic verses are not explicitly order Hijab! We should know that how do we approach to the Quran. Correctly, we will find a lots of the verses and in another approach we will conclude no any verse.

The concept of Hijab refers to two key concepts: "to protect Muslim". So, not only women but also men are eligible to protect themselves, its shape is not limited to an objective such as Chador, Manto, Ruband, or Rusari. Hijab -as a function of Muslim- guaranties many aims that are considered in Islam. This function prepares Muslim to do its real religious role; representing his/her God`s descriptions. Then, the following questions are important:

Who will protect? Whom or what will be protected? What will occur via such protection?

• The subject of protection may be any one: man or woman, child or adult, blind or seeing, ….
• The object may be a Muslim or a part of him/her.
• The protection changes the subject`s behavior and aim (function).

Hijab is a function that ensure to protect Muslim and Muslim society.

The Future of World Civilization

Mahdi Movahed-Abtahi

Here is a tradition (Hadith) narrated by Shi`a Imam about the future of the world named as "The Promise"s Government" of the world

I would like analysis it as a sign of the future civilization. The tradition says: "….When he governs, he will pick up all down-spouts in cities….."

One: Down-spout guides rain from the ceilings houses, buildings, apartments and so one. It avoids these places to be damaged by rain via guiding rain outward not inward them. When it is raining, flowing water of lanes, avenues, and streets seeks a lower level of the earth -such as sewer or surplus- ending to wells, rivers, seas, and valleys. Of course, we should avoid flood-water or torrent, too 

Two: What a down-spout does is "out-warding a natural phenomena or its side effects form mankind life". This function cause outcomes of rain increasing the risk of walking and cycling in these places  

Three: A) The God cause to rain on the ground not. B) The owner of houses, apartments and so one have increased the flowing water on cities increasing accident risk for others 

Four: Down-spout makes rain`s outcomes more risky for others while other has not participated in the building, and houses. Down-spout protects the owner from harms but increases the risk for other people in that city. 

Five: They should pay cost increased risk of what they have not induced by themselves 

Six: Here, popular benefits encounter individual benefits. Then, the individual freedom will be limited to free popular benefits. This is one of the worldwide laws of the future civilization that the promised will govern the world while Jesus Christ will accompany him.

Do you wish to visit that time? Are you awaiting such government? What are you think that we must do?
