Shia Muslims

Assalamu Alaykum, everyone

New to the app, new to the board.

I was born and raised Shia - so I was well aware of all the biases our community faced. I remember not disclosing that I was Shia, unless I knew the other person was too.

Fast-forward, and I’ve returned to the religion and I’m so proud of our faith. I have no doubts. I’m on the right path. 

My question is, despite the fact that Iran is showing to the world that it is the only country willing to fight against the Cabal of Satan, a.k.a. Israel, and the Epstein Class, do you see that most Muslims still hold onto their prejudice and ignorance about Shias?

Do you see people softening up and putting down some of their bigotry?

I’m trying to take it all in as I navigate this next chapter of my life and what I do here on the app

Thank you to anyone who’s taking time to read this and extra things to anyone who actually responds. 

Sayyed Ali Khamenei (R.A.) said:

A book is the mother of and essence of civilizations.

We should add books to the family basket, just like bread and food.

Imam Ali ibn Talib (a.s.) said:

Knowledge is better than wealth. Knowledge guards you, while you guard wealth.
Wealth decreases as you spend it, but knowledge increases the more you use it.

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.

Is there a serious one here

Trust Allah's timing your soulmate is written by Him, and what is meant for you will never miss you.🤲

I am from Sudan and you

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.
