This blog will heavily focus on the early developments of early Khawarij, Musawi-Waqifiyyah, and Ithna'Ashariyyah with a specific focus on the early post-ghaybah trends. It will also focus on Biblical analysis in relation to the development of New Testemant biographies of Isa (a) and Old Testemant biography of Musa (a) and its relation to early Qati attempts at writing the biographies of Ali ar-Ridha (a) and Muhammad ibn Hassan (a). There will also be the casual and occasional posts of praise and criticism of the trends in Twelver communities.

I am hearing alot of bad things about ISIS. Recently people tell me they're forcing Christians to come to islam or leave the controlled area(s) also that they're blowing up mosques? Is this true? I do not believe the news, but what is your take on it? Have you witnessed such things? Thank you.

I haven’t witnessed such things for sole reason that I’m not in Iraq. But I will advise you this. If you are looking for the truth then seek it from Allah who will certainly guide you to it. Abandon the fake one sided media and give husn ad-dhan (benefit of the doubt) in situations like this. Never assume and always verify your news as Allah tells us to do in surah Hujuraat. If you wanna know my opinion then come off of anon and I will gladly share it with you.

I’m curious. Given that the Satanic State advertise their mass executions, demolitions of masajid, and expulsion of Christians in their own media outlets (official twitter account, their various official magazines, etc.)—apparently these things are some kind of twisted badge of honor—why would you answer this person’s question in such a patently evasive way? The simple answer is yes, ISIS has done all of this and more, and they brag about it. After that, either you agree with their vile, filthy, wicked actions, or you don’t.

If anyone has a copy of al-Mizan in Persian, you should get it ready because I found a really interesting paper that deals with the topic of Sabians and Buddhists in Tabatabai's thought. I don't have access to it but people who do might want to check it out when I find the specific verses.

When a true believer dies the angels and places of earth, where he worshipped Allah, weep because of his death. Also, the doors of the heaven through which his good deeds had been taken up weep and it (his death) causes and irreparable damage in the Islamic system, because the true believing Fuqaha (people of proper understanding in religion and its laws) are the strongholds of the Islamic system just as the fortress around a city is a stronghold for it.

The Holy Prophet (S) said,

“Certainly what I fear for you most is the lesser Shirk.”

Someone enquired, “O Prophet (S), what is meant by lesser Shirk?” He replied,

“It is Riyah when Allah would reward His creatures for their deeds on the Day of Judgement He would address those who committed...

I once inquired of Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra) why the Messenger of God (saww) gave Hazrat Ali (as) the title Abu Turab (Father of Soil). He said, “because he is the caliph of the earth, and after the Prophet, he is the Proof of God for all inhabitants of the Earth. From him is the earth’s survival, and from him it remains intact. Furthermore, I have heard the Prophet say, ‘when the Day of Judgment arrives and the infidel sees what goods of relief, munificence, and reward God has provided for the Shia of Abu Turab, he will say, ‘if only I too was soil and from the Shia of Ali.’ Related to this is God’s narrating (in the Qur’an), ‘oh, I wish that I were soil! (78:40)’”

I wonder.

Do the Christians on Tumblr actually care about the religious oppression carried out by ISIS, or do they only care about the fact Christians were being oppressed?

I.e. if ISIS had called for the extermination, conversion, taxation, or emmigration of only Jews and other Muslims and basically all religions non-Shia-Muslim except Christianity (for some reason), would that be okay?

Think long and hard about that question. And think long and hard about how you’ve been going about this.

No offense to Christians - but I would highly doubt it. I've watched a bit of the Evangelical "news" stations on TV before when they've touched upon the persecution of Christians in Pakistan and Iran. Despite the fact that many other religious minorities are facing much worse persecution, there was never any mention of them. With that being said, it's not a trend that is by any means exclusive to Christian communities. There are just as many Sunni Muslim and non-Muslim people who consider themselves highly religious that don't care about events and atrocities that do not influence their group directly. Also, it seems as if a lot of Arab Christian organizations in the West have put a lot of effort towards creating Christian-Muslim dialogue on the topics of Syria and Iraq. I've noticed that they've been more successful in getting more support and cooperation from non-Christian organizations (i.e. Shi'a Arab, Shi'a Pakistani, Desi Sunni) than non-Arab Christian groups. Despite the severity of the situation, it's good to see that there has been at least SOME degree of dialogue and cooperation.
