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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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).

Wassalam.
