Imam Javad (A.S) answering Abdolazim Hassani narrated from his ancestors and fathers, saying: If the faults of any of you were revealed to each one of you, you would not bury each other [1]. The saying of Imam Javad (A.S) has two great lessons. First; we should never become proud of some material or spiritual success and boast to others. We must always remember that apart from the infallibles and saints, other people may have deficiencies in their actions and moralities. The only being who is aware of this, is the Almighty and due to God’s kindness, these deficiencies are hidden in order to preserve one’s dignity in the society.

It is also necessary to realise that all success in life are God’s gifts to human being as we read in Dua Arafah: O’ my Master, You have hidden my sins, my father and mother’s sins so that I cannot be bothered and blamed by others because if they knew about my faults, they would have cut their relation with me. On the Day of Judgment Allah (SWT) will say to human being: I have preserved your dignity by covering your faults and not shamed you in front of others when you were living on the earth, how can I shame you today in front of others whilst you are standing in front me with tears in your eyes?

? The world without Hussein 

? Priest Nadeem Naser, says about Karbala uprising and the universal love for lmam Hussein: 

“In my opinion, Karbala represents a battle and a symbolism , a collision between Hussein and Yazid , whose thirst for power and political ambitions blinded him from recognizing Imam Hussein’s position and role.

God’s position in any society is focal and not marginal. So, ‌‌as Imam Hussain, with a heart-felt belief in God, did not surrender to ambitions and tyranny, we too, surrounded by threats of secularism and violent globalization, should emphasize the role Imam Hussein and Jesus Christ play in our faith.

? We, too, should place God in the heart of our societyt

In talking with Hujjatul Islam Wal Muslimin Kazem Sediqi
We need the light of infallible Imams (A.S.)

To you is the Ziarah (visit) of the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) only limited to going to the shrine of these great people, touching their Shrine, reciting the Ziarah pray and saying prayer or there is something beyond these deeds?
Ziarah is both what you explained and beyond this. I.e. all these deeds are an introduction to Ziarah. In dictionary meaning Ziarah means to visit. For example, in the convention this word is used in this meaning. So, Ziarah is mostly used in this meaning. According to these definitions, Ziarah means to visit and benefit from the affection.
Regarding the infallible Imams (A.S.), visiting them during their life is considered as Ziarah. As regards Imam Al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) at the present moment, it is certain that Ayatullah Bahjat visitedImam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance). Yes, if a prson goes to Imam (AS.), s/he has visited him (Ziarah). The holy Prophet (S.A.W.A), Hazrat Zahra (S.A.), Imam Ali (A.S.) and the rest of infallible Imams are present no matter they are alive or dead; They have knowledge and are aware of this world.

Introduction
Interpreting the Holy Qur’an has been among the first scientific activities of Muslims to deepen the understanding of religious beliefs. Undoubtedly, the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H. & H.F.) was the first commentator of Qur’anic verses. In this regard, the Glorious Qur’an says, “We have sent down the reminder to you so that you may clarify for the people that which has been sent down to them.” Interpreting the Qur’an continued after the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H. & H.F.) and was developed in different frameworks. However, Imam Sadeq’s narrations about commentary on the Qur’anic verses are specifically significant. Theses narrations are available in a large number and can be found in all the 30 chapters of the Holy Qur’an. What is taken into consideration in this paper is reviewing the points and issues that are mentioned as the principles and requirements of commentary on the Holy Qur’an in Imam Sadeq’s interpretive narrations

Distruction of churches by ISIS

All true God-fearing Muslims will defend any place where God is worshiped.

Truly ISIS followers are not Muslims

 ….. رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

Our Lord is Allah. And had Allah not ordained repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been destruction of monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques in which Allah’s name is much remembered; and surely Allah will help him who helps His cause; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. 

(Quran 22:40)
