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

Posted on August 23, 2008August 23, 2008 by MoMahdi

Praise be to Allah who is such that it is not possible to describe the reality of knowledge about Him, since His greatness has restrained the intellects, and therefore they cannot find the way to approach the extremity of His realm.

Imam Ali(as) gives Caution about the World (Sermon 110)

Posted on August 22, 2008August 22, 2008 by MoMahdi

Is there Intercession in Islam?

Posted on July 29, 2008September 18, 2009 by MoMahdi

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…
