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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.
Who is the Nafs al-Zakiyah, as indicated in the narrations from the Imams (a), and could it potentially have been Sayed Hassan Nasrallah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Nafs Al-Zakiyyah is mentioned in our books as Muhammad Ibn Al Hasan. His martyrdom is one of the definite signs of the appearance of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) as he will carry a massage from the Imam (AS) and Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) will reappear after 15 days from his martyrdom.

'Wassalam.
How can we collectively, as Shia Muslims, help hasten the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (afj) as soon as possible?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

To abide to the orders of Allah (SWT), the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) in every matter with out exception or excuses.

Wassalam.
Is the correct understanding regarding the Dajjal that it is a metaphorical system rather than an actual person, as claimed by some Shia scholars? Please clarify the reasons supporting this view.
Amina Inloes

Either a literal or a metaphorical interpretation is acceptable. 

The narrations could be speaking literally about a person.

Possibly, also, the Prophet (S) and Imams (A) were attempting to explain something to people who, because they lived in a different time with different technologies, could not have understood them at all if they had tried to give a literal explanation. Therefore, they spoke metaphorically in a way that people would understand. 

Allah knows best, and we will find out.
