Salam dear Syed it’s really important for any faithful person to remember that it is He who knows the value of each human being maybe that’s why imam Husaain ( as) isn’t arrogant and he knows that Allah knows best . A believer cannot despair or disbelieve in any attribute of Allah . Al Mujeeb Al Wadood

What an amazing series. Truly intellectually and spiritually stimulating

Wonderful! I think the fundamental problem for most Muslims is that they have excluded the institution of mediation from their way of belief, which has, in sociological and psychological terms, left serious negative consequences... After this brief lecture, it is clearer to me why the Muslim world today lags behind the Western (Christian) world in political, technological, and scientific achievements. Thank you, Sayed Mohammed Baqer Al-Qazwini. God bless you.

[@Al-Musawi110]

You do know that „most Muslims” are not even Muslims in the Batin right? And that in reality there’s no Muslim world but we just refer to it as that because of the majority of people there testifying that there’s no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger

He can respond in so many ways Al Lateef. . For example imagine you are with someone who doesn’t believe and they laugh at believers because Allah is All seeing All knowing All Capable He does something to remind the disbeliever and to empower the believer and reassure them 😊

Desire to sin as different from sin is an important point. The Baptists and Charismatics have largely divinized their own feelings and emotions. People's own experience and instinct is not the most effective way to reach some -for more reason than most would probably gain pride by it. Whether God can is not the issue, but what God orders.

At 10:30 We don’t have the capacity, but when we communicate back with Allah through Dua directly. Allah has the capacity to do all. So is it then still a necessity to communicate through a prophet or an imam, especially at this time when there isn’t one physically available. And surely in the time of the prophets and the imams, the prophets and imam taught us to worship directly to Allah, how to worship him, and to how to pray to, e.g through duas such as in sahifa sajadiya dua kumayl and so on. What’s the proof to assume that the prophet or an imam, is currently listening to our duas that we do not speak with our tongue. These powers are associated with Allah and Allah only, all hearing and all listening, in the hearts, everything turning on his command. So is it not sufficient to communicate directly towards Allah? Where is there proof to back your suggestion that we need to follow this protocol ? And not make Dua to Allah directly ? The imams made dua to Allah directly as an example for us. Wouldn’t it be shirk, for example to make dua. Oh Prophet Muhammad pbuh make my path easy and guide me on sirat ul mustaqeem? Or do you mean, Oh Allah make my path east and guide me to sirat ul mustaqeem for the sake of your beloved prophet ? But what you’re suggesting is closer to the first dua?

[@shahidshamsi4440]

Or do you mean we should follow the examples of the prophets and imams and how they prayed and lived their lives and only then our duas would be worthy of being heard? For example some people don’t have the time to study the sunnah of the prophet or the life of our imams, but only to do basic. Isn’t sufficient that then they communicate to Allah the almighty directly ?

[@Thaqlain]

InshaAllah we will be exploring the idea and beliefs regarding Tawassul in detail as we move ahead in this series.

Ahhsantom🤍🤍

[@angelamaanaki6769]

We have to be careful with one’s piety and belief to not let others despair of Allahs attributes or we could become the devils advocates Unknowingly

[@nuhr367]

can hardly hear your students, best that they just keep quiet

[@Thaqlain]

Sometimes, we can guess the question by hearing the answer :)

Prophet Musa ( pbuh ) murdered a man and still Allah used him as His instrument
