The inheritance games ✨

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why--or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch--and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.

A thriller about four strangers, a blizzard, a kidnapped child, and a determined young woman desperate to unmask and outwit a vicious psychopath

A kidnapped little girl locked in a stranger’s van. No help for miles. What would you do?

On her way to Utah to see her dying mother, college student Darby Thorne gets caught in a fierce blizzard in the mountains of Colorado. With the roads impassable, she’s forced to wait out the storm at a remote highway rest stop. Inside are some vending machines, a coffee maker, and four complete strangers.

Desperate to find a signal to call home, Darby goes back out into the storm . . . and makes a horrifying discovery. In the back of the van parked next to her car, a little girl is locked in an animal crate.

Who is the child? Why has she been taken? And how can Darby save her?

There is no cell phone reception, no telephone, and no way out. One of her fellow travelers is a kidnapper. But which one?

A Request for advise/support/ participation

As a part of a screenplay that we are trying to write, we are looking for a brief but EMOTIONAL narrative of what happened in Karbala and its related events for non-Muslim audiance. Ideally, it could be around 30 minutes of a play. It is preferred that the story is told from Hazarat Zeinab’s point of view.

In a nutshell, the screenplay is about a Christian 19-year old girl who is harshly challenged by the events of her life and at some point she hears the story of Karbala (what we are seeking) and it deeply affects the way she looks at her world.

All the EMOTIONAL narratives of this exceptional and extraordinary event that we have seen target Shi’a Muslims and uses their knowledge and love for Ahlol-Bayt and basically they trigger and awaken emotions that are already there. We are looking for a narrative that tells the emotional story of Karbala without relying on the audience’s knowledge and background.

We would appreciate if we could be directed toward an existing audio/video/written document that serve this purpose. We would also welcome if anyone is willing to collaborate with us in creating such document.

Ayatollah Muhammad Hossein Fadlullah on the (cultural) rituals of Ashura:
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
"If we try to analyze these habits (rituals) in their elements of thought away from Shari’ah considerations, we find that those who carry them out say:

'we are offering our support to Imam-e Hussein (a.s.) when we strike our heads with swords because he was stricken on his head with a sword, and we are offering our support to Zainab (a.s.) when we lash our backs with chains because she was beaten with lashes'.

However, this is not a valid argument, since Imam-e Hussein (a.s.) was wounded when he was fighting for justice and truth and did not strike his head with the sword; so supporting him would mean that the person is to be wounded in a similar struggle of jihad. Zainab (a.s.) equally was beaten with lashes in the core of the cause: she did not do this to herself of her own free will.

These practices are backward habits in the expression of sadness, for sadness has other civilized, humane ways of expression. Sadness is not an act of self torture, but rather an act that expresses the humanity of the self".

Directives from the grand Ayatollah Shaykh Ishaq Fayyadh may God prolong his life, Relayed by his son, during his visit, to the Unites States of America in April 2012

6-- There has been much clamor and fallacies regarding the view of Islam and those practicing it toward women, the way a woman is treated, what rights she has and looking into what she can do with the differing situations in life, and taking on work and (other) duties.
The first evidence to support the truth of the view held by our faith regarding the reality of a woman is that it did not forbid her from any position or rank in society, or any right in which she would be able to be just as qualified as a man. There is no default principle which sets a man ahead of a woman in the cases where the religious legal text does not clearly state that a man is to be chosen, or that the situation is specific to a man. Granted, these instances (in which the situation is specific to a man) are few and the aim in them being specific to a man is known. All of them go back to aspects dealing with religious issues in which the religious law took into account the nature of a woman which would have her incline toward safeguarding her chastity and purity, and being considerate toward her.

In all other issues dealing with the fields of knowledge, learning, gaining virtues, elevated intellectual thought, positions of production and work, a woman is on the same footing as a man. Society, including men and women, do not hesitate to refer to a woman if she excels at an aspect of some industry or science. But a woman should know the limits of her faith, her sanctity and her modest dress before entering into public positions. For, indeed, the corruption resulting from the mixing between a man and women without the religious guidelines is no secret to a rational individual. It is an obligation to observe (these limits) according to the judgment of the Exalted God, who knows the best interest of the servants.

In conclusion, we would like to note to the dear believers that our Imams and leaders (may God’s blessings be upon them), even though they were kept from their positions and ranks, they were still the pioneers in offering service and help to society. They did not hold back, may God’s blessings be upon them, from giving help (to others), or even offering advice to the oppressive government which treated them with the most severe levels of exclusion and sidelining. Hence, believers living abroad should actively participate in reforming society, offering services, and participating in choosing that which is best – that which will take everyone by the hand to the coast of safety, even if they live under the reign of a non-Islamic authority.

We ask God, the Blessed and Exalted, to grant you success and aid. May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you and upon all the faithful men and women.

The Significance of Sincere Deeds
(God doesn't accept deeds mixed with title, name, and logo stamped across it)

Ayatollah Musawi Ardabili's Barzakh Experience, narrated by his close friend (Asghar Fardi):

Some time later, I heard that Hajj Aghaye (Ardabili) had a brain stroke and was sent to the hospital. I heard that at that time, Agha Ardabili had a heart attack, but he recovered. Then again, after a while, he had another heart attack but lived it, surprising the doctors. It was most likely that his remaining energy would collapse him again. I spoke to Dr. Ghulamreza Shāfi'i, who was the head of the operation, made an appointment with him and so we visited Ayatollah Ardabili (at his home when recovered). Hajj Aghaye (Ardabili) was present in his home in Tehran resting. When we arrived, Agha Muhammadi Gūlpāykāni was also present, having arrived before us. After some time sitting with Hajj Aghaye (Ardabili), we decided to leave because visiting the sick shouldn't be too long. We stood up and Hajj Agha bid farewell to all of us, including Aghaye Shafi'i. As we were all leaving, Hajj Agha told me to stay. So I sat on the pillow mat and Hajj Agha then relayed to me that he wanted to share with me his unique experience.

"When I had the brain stroke, I left the world for a short time but I still remembered what happened in that short time."

Agha then requested at this moment not to disclose his experience to others (now that he has passed away, I will share it, for it was a grand experience and a lesson for all).

He then said: "when I realized I had left this (material) world, I called out my eldest son's name to be (more) certain that I was not in the material world. They (Angels) said he is in the other world. I then called out my second son's name, and they (Angels) replied again that I was in a different realm and he is located in the material realm.

At that time, they asked me what I had brought with me. So I then pondered for a moment, concentrating and wondering, because I had to bring to mind my actions from the (material) world.

I then said, 'I wrote for the first time in Shi'i history, a compilation and analyzation in depth about "Penalty (in islam)". The Angels said, 'you did that in order to brag that you are the first one to write (about that topic) in Shi'a history'. My desperation got intense.

I then said, 'I established the largest university in regards to Islamic Sciences'. They replied, 'you also established that deed because you couldn't attain other (social) ranks'.

I then said that I was the founder of Ameeril Mo'mineen center, and they yet again rejected.

I thought to myself, maybe my life-long years spent guiding the people at Ameeril Mo'mineen mosque would have been my salvation today, but did they?

At that instance, I remembered that one night, as I exited the masjid after Maghrib and Isha prayers, an old lady approached me and pleaded that her daughter had a suitor, and if she wasn't to be married then she and the rest of them would be grounded at home (by their financial situation), and surely she would have no energy to undergo such circumstances. I took the chance right away and invited her to my home where I relayed the situation to my wife, then introduced her. I told my wife to help this old lady from our savings and not from the religious funds (khums), in order that she may arrange her daughters wedding.

As I finished telling the Angels this account, they exclaimed: 'Yes! This is accepted. Because of this (pristinely sincere) deed, we'll forgive all the other (deeds)'.

As Aghaye Ardabili was narrating this experience segment by segment, he was shaking and crying like an orphan. Finally, he said, 'someone after one lifetime of struggle (with the soul and people), preaching, research, quoting of Imams (peace be with them all), did not come to hand (and help me succeed). Instead, one small (sincere) deed was what came to my aid'".

Her sermons created a movement in Kufa and Damascus which shook the bases and roots of Yazid's kingdom and even Yazid's son refused to replace his father as the king, and after a while, quitted the government while disgracing the oppressing dynasty of Umayyads.

In her lifetime, Hadhrat Zainab (as) had endured immense pain from witnessing her loved ones martyred before her eyes, but she never objected to the destiny decreed upon her by Allah. The completeness of her submission is monumental. The grief she expressed was an outpouring of her incredible humanity.

Hadhrat Zainab’s role was exemplary. It showed how bold Muslim women were and how they played a key role in consolidating Islamic teachings with their faith and deed.

....The leadership of the family fell to Hadhrat Zainab after Karbala, and she proved to be more than what was expected of her.

... Hadrat Zainab bint Ali (as) the role model for the righteous will forever teach us all that when we undergo countless trials in our lives, we should see nothing but beauty in them.

THE STRANGER

Tired and exhausted with the waterskin on her back, she was gasping and going towards her house where innocent children, their eyes fixed at the door, were eagerly waiting for the arrival of their mother. On her way, an unknown man approached her. He took the waterskin from her and placed it on his back. The door opened and the children saw their mother entering the house with a stranger. He placed the waterskin on the ground and said:

"Well, it seems you don't have anyone to fetch water for you; how come you are so forlorn?"

"My husband was a soldier; Ali sent him to the frontier where he was killed. Now I am alone with these little children."

The stranger said no more. Bowing down his head he went away. But the thought of the helpless widow and orphans remained in his mind. He could hardly sleep in the night.

Early in the morning he picked up a basket; put some meat, flour and dates in it; went straight to her house and knocked at the door.

"Who are you?" "I am the man who brought your water yesterday. Now I have brought some food for the children"

"May God bless you and judge between us and Ali"

She opened the door. Entering the house he said:"I wish to do some good acts. Either let me knead the flour and bake the bread or allow me to look after the children."

"Very well, but I can do the job of kneading and cooking better than you. You take care of the children till I finish cooking"

She went to knead the flour Immediately, he grilled some meat which he had brought and fed the children saying to each child while putting morsel in his mouth:

"My son, forgive Ali if he has failed in his duty towards you"

When the flour got ready; she called: "sir! put fire in the oven:" He went and put fire in the oven. When flames rose up, he brought his face near the fire and said, "Taste the heat of fire. It is the punishment for those who fail in their duty towards orphans and widows."

By chance, a woman from the neighbouring house came in. Recognizing the stranger, she cried: "Woe, don't you recognize the man who is helping you? He is Amirul-Muumineen (commander of the faithfuls) Ali bin Abi-Talib."

The widow came forward and shamefacedly cried: "Curse and shame to me. I beg your pardon:"

The humble stranger who turned out to be Imam Ali (peace be with him) replied, "No, I beg your pardon for I failed in my duty towards you."

Part 2/2

With regard to the women of our age, it can't be denied that they have had real battles to fight: the fight to be seen as having the intelligence to participate in politics; the fight to be able to go to university and to exercise our talents to the best of our ability. Many people these days hark back to a supposedly golden age in the 1950s, but that was also an age where women who were seen as morally deviant were put away in asylums.

There can be no doubt that women have had to fight against different kinds of oppression; but with the throwing off of certain shackles and narrow, shallow interpretations of the prophetic path, and a with the intoxication that has come with that, women have moved out into the open wastelands of existence, an existence whose sacred dimensions have all but disappeared. Women have become economic beings in their scramble to excel in the workplace, and sexual beings in the primeval scramble to find a mate. In a capitalist, individualistic society, they are encouraged to compete with each other in everything.

Women have become ruthless with each other in their battle to find the truth of their existence within the limits of this existence. Interestingly, with my generation, there is now a turnaround. Women are exhausted. The intoxication of breaking free of boundaries has passed, and they find themselves faced with the rather mundane challenge of providing for the family, as men used to do. Just last week I read an article by a woman who goes out and works long hours to support the family, while her husband stays at home and looks after their baby girl. She says, 'I am caught in the age-old male trap of seeing every penny I earn factored away into future nursery fees, roof repairs and supermarket bills and wondering why I bother.' She expresses regret at having to 'rebuild the bond that gets strained by the end of a long week' away from her daughter and she says 'Perhaps this is how working fathers felt all along. But there is one inescapable conclusion: it is what we feminists fought for; the right to do as men do. Be careful what you wish for (“Are Dads the New Mums? London Evening Standard, October 20th, 2011).’

I'm not saying that a woman's place is in the kitchen; but rather' what I learned about my culture as I grew up, and was able to reflect back upon it, is that, as people in European countries have become supposedly more sophisticated and advanced, they have at the same time moved further and further away from their primordial, even cosmic, way of being. We have become obsessed with the world, and with our place in it — that is, with our place in it as individuals, and we have utterly forgotten that there is a deeper and more comprehensive aspect to our being, and a deeper and more beautiful purpose to our being here.

Western women look pityingly at supposedly unsophisticated Muslim women, who have not gone through the whole process of deconstruction. Muslim women appear to be still stuck in an age that Western women have proudly put behind them, even if these very same Western women now find themselves out on a limb, stuck in a state of existential anxiety.
