An exchange on Surah 80 of the Holy Quran
A few days ago I was having a discussion with a friend of mine on Surah 80 of the Holy Quran. This friend was a Sunni, and, as anyone familiar with Sunni and Shia debates over the years rightly knows, his interpretation of that verse vastly differs from that of the Shia madhab. But…
Defending the Imam of our time (revised)
If one is to take a look at the many sites which critique the Jafarri School of Thought, one sees a common article plastered somewhere on the site. The article usually has the same title, always the same content, and many times no credit is given to the original writer of the article. The article’s…

This is in response to the flier challenge made by the Nasibis (Kharijites) to Shia Muslims. You have the nerve to run your mouth about Shia’s when your terrorist sect is so full of holes and dirty teachings. I suggest you pick up a book and read.
Is Mut’aa- temporary marriage forbidden?
With popular demand on the explanation of Mut’aa, I present to you: “Is Mut’aa forbidden”? Quran: Surah: Nisa(4) Verse:24– And all married women are forbidden save those whom your right hand possess. (This is) Allah’s written ordinance for you. Except for these, allowed to you are all women; that you seek them in exchange for…
