Question:How can we strengthen faith in Allah, the Almighty, in our hearts?
Answer:In the name of Allah, through piety and self-accountability at least once a day. Imam Musa al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) said: “He is not one of us who does not hold himself accountable every day; if he does good, he asks Allah for increase, and if he does evil, he seeks forgiveness from Allah and repents.” Self-accountability is the first step on the path of self-reformation. Allah is the Guide.
Question:What is the cure for obsession (waswas) and anxiety?
Answer:In the name of Allah, trust in Allah, apply the Sharia to your actions, words, and thoughts. If you experience such feelings while not in prayer, say, my daughter ,"La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). If you are in prayer, you should avoid uttering it aloud and suffice with the intention only. Allah is the Grantor of success.
Question:Is it possible for us to live our entire lives in peace and happiness?
Answer:In the name of Allah, happiness is not found solely in this world; rather, it is a means to attain happiness in the Hereafter. Hence, it is mentioned that "the world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever." Yes, happiness can be interpreted through faith and piety, which come through correct belief and righteous deeds. We hope for this life to be under the control of the Almighty, who extends His dominion over all creation. Allah guides to the right path and grants success.
Question:What is your advice for newly married couples to stay on the path of Ahlulbait (PBUT)?
Answer:In the name of Allah, the wife should obey her husband in all permissible acts, and she must avoid haram (forbidden) acts, including leaving the house without his permission, even for a single step, as it is considered a major sin. If she does this, even if it involves hardship, she will be among those who strive in the way of Allah on the Day of Judgment. She must surround the children with affection and care, and teach them the religion both in words and actions. When it is time for prayer, she should prepare her children, especially the daughters, for purification and prayer. As for the husband, he must, to the best of his ability, provide food, drink, and clothing for his wife and children and maintain good manners. The husband should understand that he can achieve what he desires from his wife through good behavior, and the same applies to the wife. The wife should also pay attention to avoid anything in her appearance and attire that might repel her husband. Allah knows best.
Question:Would you kindly advise the new generation of boys and girls?
Answer:In the name of Allah, my sons and daughters should focus on their studies, adhere to their religion, and refrain from divine prohibitions. We have written a booklet titled "To the Youth," which is printed and published in the media. Both young men and women should benefit from it. May Allah grant them success.
Question:What is the importance of Islam in our daily lives?
Answer:In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that Islam is a system through which one understands what actions should be taken to connect with the Creator, the Benevolent Bestower of existence and all blessings. Moreover, religion determines the ways of social relations with your relatives, whether they are close or distant. It also clarifies how to interact with other Muslims and non-Muslims. Thus, do not underestimate the significance of religion in any aspect of life. Similarly, the trials a person faces beyond this life will be determined by their faith. Allah is the Guide.
Question:I met with a woman who wears hijab and wanted to marry her. She has many traits of perfection which made me love her. However, her dress does not fully comply with the Islamic rules in terms of being loose and unattractive; this caused problems to the extent that we almost ended the relationship. What do you advise? Should I return to her in the hope that she will fix her situation in the future, or leave her? It is to be noted that I am a religion student sciences and she is from another community and another country?
Answer:In the name of Allah, follow the advice of Imam Sadiq (PBUH) in choosing the wife which is that you have to accept her in terms of looking, gait and other things that you desire in wife. Allah is the Guide.
Question:Are the decisions of the blaming self (alnafs allawama) always right?
Answer:In the name of Allah, the decisions are not always right unless they are in agreement with the sacred sharia. Allah is the Guide.
Question:Are there other diseases for the soul in addition to hypocrisy?
Answer:In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that hypocrisy is hiding infidelity and showing Islam. It is a major sin and there might not be a bigger sin than this. That is why Allah Almighty says "Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of Hell." Misfortunes have not befallen any prophet or his followers like the misfortunes that the righteous servants of Allah are afflicted with from the hypocrites. It is because of that some narrations have been mentioned Abalfazl Al-Abbas (PBUH) described those who wanted to kill his master (PBUH) as hypocrites. There is no power, but from Allah. The rest of the doctrinal and other sins, apart from hypocrisy, are less bad and ugly, such as clear infidelity, clear polytheism, and crimes committed by the sinner with his organs, provided that he is not a hypocrite. Allah knows best.
Question:How can I be a righteous Muslim?
Answer:In the name of Allah, if you become a Shiite twelver according to the right way, fear Allah, reach to the rank of piety as mentioned by Imam Ali (PBUH) in Nahjul Balagha in describing the pious, you will be a righteous Muslim inshallah. Allah is the all Guide.
