Shia Muslims

In Nahj al-Balagha, Imam Ali ibn Talib (a.s.) said:

"He who knows humanity seeks/prefers solitude."

Sayyed Imam Ali Khamenei said:

"I may die, but I will never bow down."

"Kill me, the war will not end. You are not fighting a man, but a nation defending its dignity."

"If the whole world turns against you but your connection with Allah remains, then Allah alone is sufficient for you."

And do not say about those killed in the way of Allah,
'They are dead'. Rather, they are alive,
but you do not perceive.

• -Surat al-Baqarah, 2:154

Do not suppose those slain in the way of Allah
to be dead; no, they are alive
with their Lord, receiving provision.

• -Surat al-Imran, 3:169

Any Shia girl looking for someone to marry

Salaam everyone,

I’m a 37-year-old Shia brother from the Houston area. It’s been almost a year since my Islamic divorce after a 14-year marriage. Alhamdulillah, I have two children whom I love dearly. They primarily live with their mother.

Since my divorce, I’ve been trying my best to stay close to Allah, avoid haram, and continue improving myself. Alhamdulillah, I was blessed to perform Umrah and Ziyarat within the past year. My long-term goal is still permanent marriage, inshaAllah. However, I also value companionship, kindness, and emotional support while remaining within halal boundaries.

I’m wondering if there are any sisters who are genuinely open to Mut’ah for companionship and mutual respect. I’m not looking for anything casual or dishonest. I’m looking for someone who values deen, honesty, and treating one another with dignity.

May Allah make it easy for all of us who are searching and guide us to what is best. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

On his deathbed, Imam al-Sadiq (p) said:

O Community of our Shia followers,
be an adornment for us, and do not be a blemish for us.
Speak goodness to the people,
guard your tongues,
and abstain from unnecessary and ugly speech.

• -Al-Majlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, v. 68, p. 151

Imam Ali (p) said:

Patience in the face of desire is chastity,
in the face of anger, it is rescue, and
in the face of sin, it is God-fearing.

• -Al-Nuri, Mustadarak al-Wasa'il, v. 11, p. 463

In his narrations, Imam al-Sadiq (p) mentions Shaytan's traps and how to avoid succumbing to them.

Shaytan said, Five actions keep those who perform them beyond my reach, while everyone else is within my grasp:

1. -Seeking refuge in Allah (swt) with sincere intention; Relying on Allah in all matters
2. -Filling one's nights and days with abundant glorification of Allah
3. -Wanting for one's brother and sister in faith what one wants for himself
4. -Not faltering into despair in the face of a calamity
5. -Remaining contented with what Allah has apportioned, untroubled and without grief over one's sustenance.

• -Al-Nuri, Mustadarak al-Wasa'il, v. 11, p. 213

The Ahl al-Bayt (pbut) teach us the wisdom that hardship carries benefits: O Allah, grant me complete understanding, clear wisdom, a purified heart, abundant actions, excellent manners, and make all of this for me and not against me, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

• -Al-Nuri, Mustadarak al-Wasa'il, v. 10, p. 222
