🔰#Shiism is nothing other than #Islam ‑ not that which they tell us: `Islam in addition, to other things'. #No! Shi'ism means #pure_Islam, Islam minus the Caliphate, pseudo Arabness and those who live in luxury. Shi'ism does not take the two principles of #justice and #imamate (religious leadership) and add them to Islam ‑ Islam without justice and Imamate is the same as the religion of #Islam_minus_Islam. The same is true for Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Vedantism, Buddhism and Taoism.
#Ali a.s has not been added to #Muhammad(‘s). We have taken Ali in order not to lose Muhammad.
The descendants of the historical Caesars, Kings, Pharaohs all spoke from Muhammad, yet there is a difference in what they stood for.
We do not replace the Traditions (#sunnah) of the Prophet with the #family_of_Ali, nor do we add to them. Very simply and straight forwardly, this is his family. We seek to know, through the Traditions, what he said, what he did and what he wanted but with the help and guidance of his
family.
✨Contrary to what both enemies and lovers today think, #Shiism is the most traditional sect of Islam.
The major difference stems principally from whether or not Ali and the #real_Shiites tried consciously and correctly, from the beginning, in opposition to innovations and heresy, to remain traditional and retain the traditions.

And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims." (46:15)

✅ Why didn't Lady Masuma get married?
🌸We know that #marriage is a highly desirable and recommended act in Islam and in regards to marriage, some of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad are quoted below:
ِ
1-There is no institution more honorable and beloved to Allah, than marriage.
2-Marriage is part of my practice (Sunnah) and whoever disregards my #Sunnah is not from me.
🌸Therefore, we can be sure that there must have been a good reason for Lady Masuma not marrying.
🔎📝Two possible reasons are cited below:
1⃣ The first reason may be due to the fact that lady Masuma, was a woman of great distinction and to find a husband who would be compatible to her was not easy.
✨The fact that there were no suitable spouses present for the daughters of the Ahl al-Bayt (A), does not seem so far-fetched when we consider the tradition from Imam al-Sādiq (A) in reference to Lady Fatima Zahra (A):
“If #God had not created #Ali for #Fatima, then there would not have been a suitable husband for her in the whole world 🌍 from the time of Adam to the end of mankind.”
2⃣ The second reason is that the fear and anxiety caused by Hārūn’s government at that time was such that no-one dared to get close to the #family of the Ahl al-Bayt (A).
To marry one of the daughters of Imam al-Kāđim, and become his son in-law was considered too dangerous.
🌷This was one of the many sad difficulties that Imam’s family faced, due to the tyranny of the rulers of their time.
We cannot determine with certainty why Lady Fatima Masuma (A) did not marry, however, we can be sure it was not due to the abandonment of marriage as a personal choice.

✳️ Resurrection = Qiyaamat✳️
✅Source: Fundamentals of Islam According to Quran,Hussain Ansariyan
🔰In the #Intermediary stage, the Individual cannot do #anything to redeem the wrong done by him in the past nor can he improve his position by any further action of his; #but the good deeds of the living members of the family or Group to which he belongs may be of avail to him in reducing his pain or multiplying his pleasures.
Moreover , the Holy and Exalted souls leading the Group to which he belongs , have the power to redeem his sins and increase his pleasures.
Inspite of the severance of
physical ties, the spiritual tie of Love between the departed soul with the righteous souls left behind or with those righteous souls who had departed before him, is not severed : this Love transcends all material barriers . Therefore , there is a way possible of salvation for the individual soul in the Intermediary stage - not by his own action but by the blessings and good deeds of the righteous members of his #family or the group to which he(that individual soul) belongs.
The Quranic verses assert the utility of the prayers and blessings of the righteous ones such as prophets,for their departed ancestors,their followers , disciples and for their offspring and posterity.
The prayers of those who are the
Carriers of the Throne of #God (Bearers of the Divine Knowledge) and of those #Believers whose status is closer to them are the best evidence of the stability of the spiritual tie of Love of the Higher Exalted souls of a group with the lower souls belonging to the same group.

🌟 A Journey to Islam: Chris Mortimer's Story
Source: http://rahyafteha.ir/40040/
Chris Mortimer: “The most peaceful place in the world is Mashhad al-Reza.”
In the second part of "Global Citizens," Chris Mortimer, a British convert to Islam, shares his inspiring journey. Having lived in Syria for a year, Chris often visited the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (SA). "Her shrine has a special feeling. She is the Mother of Calamities and has an extraordinary personality. Being there is like being near your own mother—someone who has endured great hardship and has always protected the survivors of Karbala. You feel you are in the presence of a great and powerful personality."
From London to Islam
Born and raised in south London, Chris grew up in a devout Catholic family. However, as a teenager, religion played a minimal role in his life. It wasn't until his friendship with Ali, an Iraqi Muslim, that he began to explore Islam deeply. Their bond wasn’t built on preaching but on genuine care and shared values. "What I truly felt about Ali was that he was my close friend and cared for me. He had a strong attachment to his faith—like when you have something good and want to share it with everyone."
Embracing Islam
After years of reflection, Chris converted at age 19. His family initially struggled with his decision, influenced by negative media portrayals of Islam. But over time, they witnessed positive changes in his behavior—more respect, helpfulness, and kindness. His mother even began buying halal meat for him.
Life-Changing Journeys
Chris’s first trip to Iran—visiting Isfahan, Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad—transformed his life. "When I went to the shrine of Imam Reza (AS), I said this is the most peaceful place in the world. Thousands, even hundreds of thousands, were there. It was crowded, yet it felt like the calmest place on earth." He also described his Hajj experience: "When I saw the Kaaba for the first time, an overwhelming force took over me. I fell into prostration and cried uncontrollably—a completely different experience for someone like me."
Marriage and Family
Chris met his wife, Safiya, while working on a religious TV program. Despite initial hesitations—her father was the director of an Islamic center—her family welcomed him warmly. They now hope to raise their children with multiple languages and a deep connection to their faith.
Media and Modern Challenges
Chris highlights the double standards in Western media: "You can’t criticize someone for being Jewish, or for their race, sexual orientation, or gender—but one group you can easily criticize is Muslims!" This pressure may eventually lead his family to consider moving to a Muslim-majority country for a more supportive environment.
A Message of Peace and Resilience
Chris’s story is a testament to the power of sincere friendship, personal research, and spiritual discovery. His journey reflects how the Islamic Revolution influenced Muslims worldwide, inspiring many to embrace their faith more deeply.

🌱 The foundation of faith is built in childhood—not repaired in adulthood.
Parents often invest everything in their children's education, but lasting success requires more than academic achievement. A balanced upbringing nurtures both knowledge and faith, combining outward excellence with inner character.
🤲 Never lose hope. Sincere du'a, wise guidance, and meaningful spiritual experiences can leave a lasting impact at any stage of life.
