SHAFAQNA – “When you witness that it is almost a year and a half now that Yemen has been under bombardment, is this a minor event? They are constantly bombarding a country. And they are not bombarding its military centers, rather they are bombarding its markets, hospitals, public squares and schools and the people’s houses and gatherings. This is not a minor event, rather it is a very grave crime. They do not understand what the month of Ramadan and a month of haraam are and they do not differentiate between children and adults. They have murdered so many children! Well, this is a grave crime as well which has unfortunately been committed by the Saudi govement. However, they have done so wit...

SHAFAQNA –The British referendum on membership in the European Union on 23 June has exposed deep layers of racism and xenophobia in the United Kingdom and raises serious conces about the welfare of minorities and immigrants in the country. Verbal violence and the murder of a politician who devoted her life to justice and peace – including in Palestine – are the terrifying manifestations of the ugly face of the referendum.

There are three reasons why those deeply in...

SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: The one who has good behaviour, God will grant him the position of the one who is fasting and stays up all night (to worship God) [1].

It is also narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) who said: Luqman said to his child: My child, if you do not have anything to help your relatives and brother, at least do not lose your good behaviour, because the one who has good behaviour, good people like him and bad people stay away from him [3].

SHAFAQNA-It was not politically feasible for al-Mamoon to reach Baghdad accompanied by Imam al-Ridha (AS), for that would stir the winds of dissension against him and he might not be strong enough to withstand them. From this standpoint, our belief that al-Mamoon was the one who plotted to end the life of the Imam (AS) by giving him poisoned grapes is strengthened, and the historical environment at the time helps us confirm this belief even when Ibn al-Athir, in his Tarikh, thinks that that was not possible. Prominent scholars and historians such as Shaikh al-Mufid and others have also doubted it, while others such as Sayyid ibn Tawoos, Sibt ibn al-Jawzi, and al-Arbili in Kashf al-Ghumma, ha...

O’ the servants of God, listen to us and do not forget us, this wealth that you have in your hands, once was with us, we did not spend it in the way of God, so they became sins and troubles for us and benefits for others. Be kind to us, even for one Der...
