Heart . Du'a (Supplication) . God (Allah)

I have struggled for two years to choose between two degrees. Despite my prayers, I feel directionless. I have heard negative things about one option, could that indicate something? How can I discern what Allah wants for me in this situation?

You need to seek advise from trusted experienced persons first. If after consulting them, you could not reach to a decision, you can go for Istekhara.

Jews . Qur'an . God (Allah) . Palestinian

What is the response to those who assert that the Quran indicates God granted Israel to the Jews, suggesting we should not oppose the Zionist claim?

God never granted Palestine to the Jews. Such claim is a false Zionist claim. Zionists are committing crimes against humanity by killing innocent children, men and women which makes it a human responsibility on every human being to oppose such crimes.

Tears . Eyes . Imamah . God (Allah) . Intention (Niyah)

It brings tears to my eyes when I read that all our Imams were mazlooms. Why did they suffer so much? Was Allah not intending them to win?

Allah is always Intending everything done by everyone. The Prophets like Yahya was killed, and all our Imams had suffered a lot. They are the real winners despite all their sufferings, torture and martyrdom. Our life is not limited to this world but it goes on for our long future after this life, where we will see the results of our deeds. Allah Has Said in Quran : We Will definitely support our messengers and the believers in this worldly life and on the day of resurrection. (Sura Ghaafir, verse 51).

God (Allah) . Kaffara

Is it necessary to make Kafarah for mindless statements like "wallah he's crazy" when referring to a sane person, used merely to emphasize someone's dramatic behavior? I'm trying to control my mindless expressions, but sometimes they slip out.

Allah Says in Quran : He (human being) never alter an word with out two angles write it. Sura Qaaf, verse 18.

We must avoid mentioning others in any mindless statement. We need then to seek forgiveness from them otherwise we might loose or good deeds to them or carry their bad deeds. We need to repeat Estighfaar and be careful before any word we alter.

God (Allah) . Du'a (Supplication)

What advice can you offer to someone facing challenges in their relationship with Allah when their supplications feel ineffective or insufficient?

1, Beware from the worst enemy Shaitan (Satan) who always tries to distance you from Allah and seek Allah's protection from the evil of Shaitan by repeating أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

2. Keep on seeking from Allah and never lose hope in His Mercy and Grace.

3. Repeat Estighfaar especially at night when you are alone.

4. Repeat Salawaat as it opens the gates and treasures of every bounty in this world and hereafter.

5. Night Prayer (Salat Al-Layl or Namaz e Shab) is very important recommended prayer every night which makes you near to Allah and purifies our hearts.

6. Long Sojood (Prostration) makes you more near to Allah and more far from Shaitan.

7. Seeking the Waseela (intercession) and Du'a if Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) is the best way to gain nearness to Allah (SWT).

Wassalam.

Signs of Zuhur . God (Allah) . Takabbur (Arrogance) . Waswasa . Satan

I have come across many videos about signs of Allah on YouTube. I worry that not watching them might indicate arrogance towards His signs. Do I need to watch all of them, or is this just a Waswasa from Shaytan?

We don't need nor require to watch all the materials of the signs of Allah on You Tube or Internet. We watch whatever we can or need. Wassalam.

Power . Sunni-Shi'a . God (Allah)

I have heard two views on Allah SWT, one saying He has the power to become a man but it is not in His nature, citing a Hadith about Allah's limitless power. The other view is that He cannot have power over impossibilities. Which one is correct?

Allah (SWT) Have All Powers on every thing but He does not Do any wrong . He never resembles any of His creatures as we read in Du'a Al-Sabah : O Who pure and higher than resembling or similarity with His creatures. وتَنَزَّهَ عن مجانسة مخلوقاته.

Allah does not become a man because it is wrong.

Wassalam.

Zina . God (Allah) . Sin

Does Allah SWT ever stop individuals from engaging in specific sins such as Zina, drug use, or Haram business practices?

Allah (SWT) Helps His sincere servants to avoid damaging themselves when they are sincerely seeking His help. Nevertheless, it does not mean that He stops every sinner or criminal. Human beings were granted intellect which guides them to the right as well as the messengers who guided people to the right path and warned them from the wrong ways. Every human being is responsible of his own deeds. Allah (SWT) Helps those who want to do good, and even protect sincere servants from falling in sinful acts under certain circumstances, but Allah Has granted human beings the option to decide their their own deeds with out any pressure from Him and Promised to reward the good deeds and punish the criminals in their own evil deeds.

Sometimes, either for that person's sake, for the sake of someone else (such as a victim), or for reasons that we do not know about. However, not always. The line between free will and fate can be blurry.

Future . Astrology . Shirk . God (Allah) . Ahl al-Bayt

Is studying astrology for future predictions considered Shirk, and if so, why did Allah create this knowledge? Did our Imams (a) have an understanding of astrology?

The are a number of narrations indicating that the Imams (A) had comprehensive knowledge of astrology, and you can find them in books such as volume 55 of Bihar al-Anwar. (Whether one accepts them is a personal decision, but there are no narrations to the contrary.) One narration (the "Myrobalan Fruit") implies that astrology exists as a way to prove the existence of God and the prophets' knowledge from God.

Whether or not astrology is considered shirk has tended to depend on worldview. If someone is an atheist and believes that there is no God but that the stars and planets control their destiny, then this is shirk. If someone believes that their fate is wholly fixed by astrology, and that God cannot change it, this is also theologically inappropriate.

If someone believes that God is in command of the entire universe, and astrology is part of the divine plan, and that our ultimate fate is in the hands of God, this is not shirk.

Some Muslims today are too eager to throw around the word "shirk" without thinking about what they are actually saying.
