[016:125] Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.

The definition of Islam
In his Peak of Eloquence Imam Ali (as) give a most wonderful definition of the word Islam. Though already produced on this site, amongst many other immaculate sayings, I believe this one in particular deserves another look at.
Imam Hussein(as) Master of all Martyrs
Imam Hussein(as) “Death with dignity is better than life with Humiliation” Salaamu alaykum wa rhmatallahu wa barkatu. Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) the grandson of the prophet, Imam Hussein(as) has been honored for his great tragedy in Karbala.

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…
Umm Kulthum(as)
so many times I hear Sunni’s come forth and say that Umm Kulthum(as), daughter of Imam Ali(as) was married to Omar(la). Wrong!!!

The Creation of the Bat by: Imam Ali(as)

Justification of Latmia in Mourning of Imam Hussein(as)
The month of Muharram is the month of mourning for Ashoura. A event that was so horrific that nothing in history before or after can compare!! The massacre of Imam Hussein(as) and his 72 companions resulted in victory for Islam. Because of these brave men the religion of the Holy Prophet(saw) was maintained. So every…
Is there Intercession in Islam?
Whenever we bring forth the discussion of intercession we are called Kafars by our Sunni brothers and sisters. They say that intercession is a form of shirk (giving God a equal) and that no one can intercede for anyone when we are being judged by Allah(swt) on the day of judgement. We humbly disagree. Like…
