@TahaNaqvi114 This is so dumb -- like where are the statements from Sistani's own office about it? Of course the West will say he cooperated fully, that would help whatever botched plan they had in mind because he is so influential.
It was the night before Husayn (ra)’s martyrdom.
He spent the night in prayer, and comforting his family. But he knew the moment of martyrdom foretold to his grandfather ﷺ had arrived.
Husayn (ra) made this powerful du’a. It reminds us that the believer, in every situation, turns to Allah for strength and hope.

Sorry, what? This can't be real, can it? Israeli rightwing media wants their government to target Ayatullah Sistani, the spiritual leader of the majority of the world's Shia Muslims, based in Iraq? How is this not 1) illegal, & 2) a declaration of religious war on all Shias? Wow.
@AliVelshi@reason @amelscript Thanks for posting this important article, Ali. It’s like the post-9/11 gov’t hysteria once again, except this time concentrated on the Shi’a Muslim community. We can’t stand for it
As someone who has run for office as a Democratic candidate in a once Republican stronghold, I understand why some argue that New Jersey’s ballot line is good because it prevents infighting. I used to feel the same way. My time in state politics changed my mind. Here’s why (1/13)
@AsadFromNYC@AnonymousLeftie But again missing a chance to make it an intrafaith initiative when the Ummah is united for Palestine. No brainer! Might as well just call it the American Sunni Task Force 🤦🏻♂️
.@instagram’s reported removal and suppression of Palestine-related content raises serious questions. I've got a bill to require more transparency from Big Tech platforms and protect against algorithmic discrimination. https://t.co/eJGxHPqdWo
@RadioGenoa This is just ma’tam, a Shi’i Muslim ritual done during the month of Muharram to mourn the tragic murder of Imam Husayn (pbuh) by a tyrannical ruler centuries ago. More here: https://t.co/wZPYs80CnI
When I visited Palestine - my first thought going through the concrete , barbed wire , guns and steel - the checkpoints stories-high into the sky - was its was harder to get into - and felt far more imposing and dangerous than when I crossed through Checkpoint Charlie and got into East Berlin many years ago . It’s was actually a bit anti climactic - it was weird - my car was searched - the soldiers stole my cassette tapes - but I was in pretty quickly -
A very different experience getting into the occupied territories. The power balance so immensely one sided - the walls so high, so many guns trained down - it’s hard to describe it any other way then an open air prison… and all the menace that implies .
Anyone who’s been would not deny it - To think of the place I visited - and the Palestinians I met - having 6000 bombs dropped on them in 6 days - is inconceivable . There’s literally no where to go -
@POTUS You falsely said they were beheading babies in a live press conference in front of the whole country. What did you think was going to happen? It’s insane how irresponsible you are. American Muslims won’t forget this. We will not be voting for you #OneTermJoe
@SEltantawi Death is not the worst thing. The most honorable in our collective memories are often those that died at the hands of oppressors. The struggle is what is paramount
