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'".

Imam Sadiq (peace be with him) and government in Islam.
Imam Jafar Sadiq asked Mufadhal: "why you are sad and disturbed"?
Mufadhal replied:
"When I see the caliphate of the Abbasids with all their wealth, holdings and power, I say to myself: what if all this wealth was in your hands? (Perhaps) we too could share some of this wealth amongst ourselves.
Imam replied to Mufadhal: "O Mufadhal, If government was in our hands, other than working and making plans at nights, following up in days, eating simple food, and dressing up with simple clothes, (then there is really) nothing that we would share from it. Acting in a way other than the way of Master of Believers Imam Ali (peace be with him) would result in hellfire".

خلاصه حکومت اسلامی
✅امام صادق علیه السلام از مفضل پرسیدند: چرا اینگونه اندوهگین و برافروختهای؟
مفضل پاسخ داد: وقتی حکومت بنیعباس را با این مال و تسلط و قدرت می بینم، با خود میگویم اگر این همه قدرت، در دست شما بود، ما هم در آن سهیم بودیم.
امام صادق علیه السلام فرمودند: ای مفضل
اگر حکومت در دست ما بود، به جز برنامه ریزی شبانه، و سرکشی روزانه، و خوردن خوراک خشک، و پوشیدن جامههای ساده، چیزی در کار نبود.
اگر به روشی جز روش امیرالمؤمنین عمل شود، نتیجه آن، دوزخ است.

🏮Packaged Opinions in Modern Day
"Perhaps we know more about the world than we used to, and insofar as knowledge is prerequisite to understanding, that is all to the good. But knowledge (specific facts) is not as much a prerequisite to understanding as is commonly supposed. We do not have to know everything about something in order to understand it; too many facts are often as much of an obstacle to understanding as too few. There is a sense in which we moderns are inundated with facts to the detriment of understanding.
One of the reasons for this situation is that the very media we have mentioned are so designed as to make thinking seem unnecessary (though this is only an appearance). The packaging of intellectual positions and views is one of the most active enterprises of some of the best minds of our day.
The viewer of television, the listener to radio, the reader of magazines, is presented with a whole complex of elements -- all the way from ingenious rhetoric to carefully selected data and statistics -- make it easy for him to 'make up his own mind' with the minimum of difficulty and effort.
But the packaging is often done so effectively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a cassette into a cassette
player. He then pushes a button and 'plays back' the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so. He has performed acceptably without having had to think".

Why we cry for Imam Husain (peace be with him)?
Part Two
http://3rdimam.com/showdata.aspx?dataid=912529&siteid=3
Furthermore, crying for Imam al-Hussain (AS) is considered seeking nearness to Allah (SWT) for the tragedy of Karbala is bound to the great sacrifice which Imam al-Hussain (AS) endured for the sake of Allah (SWT) and for Islam. It is only when your heart is soft and absorbable that you feel the sense of closeness to Allah (SWT). The Holy Qur’an praises crying and those who cry for a legitimate cause. The Holy Qur’an describes many of the Prophets and their followers when they cried, "When the verses of the Most Gracious were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping" [4]
Furthermore we cry over the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (AS) for the Holy Prophet (SAW) wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS) as recorded in many traditions (ahadith):
Ahmed and Ibn al-Dhahhak narrated from Ali (AS): “I entered on the prophet (SAW) and his eyes were flooded, I said: Oh! Prophet of Allah, anyone made you angry? Why are your eyes flooded? He said: Gabriel just left me telling me that al-Hussain will be killed by the river Euphrates. He (the Prophet) said: So he (Gabriel) said: Do you want me to let you smell his dirt (from his burial pot)? I said: Yes! He reached with his hand and grabbed and handful of dirt and gave it to me. So I could not help it and my eyes were flooded.” [5]
Ummul Fadhl the daughter of al-Harith said that she entered on the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and she said: “Oh! Messenger of Allah, I saw a strange dream last night. He said: And what is it? She said: It was difficult. He said: And what is it? She said: I saw, as if, a piece of your body was severed and was put in my lap! The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: You saw well - Fatima will give birth, God willing, a boy so he will be in your lap. Then Fatima gave birth to al-Hussain and he was in my lap - just as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said. So I entered one day on the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and put him in his lap, but I noticed that the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) pouring tears! So I said: Oh! Prophet of Allah, my parents are your ransom, what is with you? He said: Gabriel (AS) came to me and informed me that my nation (ummah) will kill this son of mine.” [6]
Umm Salamah has said: "al-Hussain entered on the Prophet (SAW), while I was sitting at the door, so I saw in the hand of the Prophet (SAW) something he turned over while (Hussain) sleeping on his stomach. I said: Oh messenger of Allah, I looked and saw you turning something over in your hand when the kid was sleeping on your stomach and your tears were pouring? He said: Gabriel came to me with the sand upon which he (Hussain) will be killed. And he informed me that my nation (umma) will kill him." [7]
Ibn Saad, Ali bin Muhammad, Yahya bin Zakariya, a man heard it from 'Amir al-Sha'bi say: "When Ali (as) passed by Karbalaa in his march to Siffien and lined up with Nainawa - a village on the Euphrates - he stopped and called one of them men: Tell aba 'Abdullah (al-Hussain ) what this land is called? He said: Karbala. Then he cried until the earth was wet from his tears. He then said: I entered on the messenger of Allah (s) and he was crying. So I said: What makes you cry? He said: Gabriel was with me, just now, and informed me: that my son al-Hussain will be killed at the banks of Furat in a location called Karbala. Then Gabriel grabbed a handful of dirt and let me smell it. So I could not help it, my eyes overflowed." [8] From this tradition (hadith) we can see that Imam al-Ali (AS) also wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS). There are more traditions showing that the Holy Prophet (SAW) wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS). [9] Umm Salamah, the wife of the Holy Prophet (SAW) also wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS).[10] Even the Jinns mourned Imam al-Hussain (AS)'s death, it has been reported that after Imam al-Hussain (AS)'s martyrdom, Umm Salamah said: "I heard the Jinns mourning for al-Hussain.” [11]

A letter from a Christian to Muslim women
By Joanna Francis
Writer, Journalist - USA
http://www.thinkatheist.com/m/blogpost?id=1982180%3ABlogPost%3A1534215
Between the Israeli assault on Lebanon and the Zionist "war on terror," the Muslim world is now center stage in every American home. I see the carnage, death and destruction that have befallen Lebanon, but I also see something else: I see you. I can't help but notice that almost every woman I see is carrying a baby or has children around her.
I see that though they are dressed modestly, their beauty still shines
through. But it's not just outer beauty that I notice. I also notice that I feel something strange inside me: I feel envy. I feel terrible for the horrible experiences and war crimes that the Lebanese people have suffered, being targeted by our common enemy. But I can't help but admire your strength, your beauty, your modesty, and most of all, your happiness.
Yes, it's strange, but it occurred to me that even under constant bombardment, you still seemed happier than we are, because you were still living the natural lives of women. The way women have always lived since the beginning of time. It used to be that way in the West until the 1960s, when we were bombarded by the same enemy.
Only we were not bombarded with actual munitions, but with subtle trickery and moral corruption.
Through Temptation
They bombarded us Americans from Hollywood, instead of from fighter
jets or with our own American-made tanks. They would like to bomb you
in this way too, after they've finished bombing the infrastructure of your countries. I do not want this to happen to you. You will feel degraded, just like we do. You can avoid this kind of bombing if you will kindly listen to those of us who have already suffered serious
casualties from their evil influence.
Because everything you see
coming out of Hollywood is a pack of lies, a distortion of reality, smoke and mirrors. They present casual sex as harmless recreation because they aim to destroy the moral fabric of the societies into which they beam their poisonous programming. I beg you not to drink their poison. There is no antidote for it once you have consumed it.
You may recover partially, but you will never be the same. Better to avoid the poison altogether than to try to heal from the damage it causes.
They will try to tempt you with their titillating movies and music videos, falsely portraying us American women as happy and satisfied, proud of dressing like prostitutes, and content without families.
Most of us are not happy, trust me. Millions of us are on anti-depressant
medication, hate our jobs, and cry at night over the men who told us they loved us, then greedily used us and walked away.
They would like to destroy your families and convince you to have fewer children. They do this by presenting marriage as a form of slavery, motherhood as a curse, and being modest and pure as old-fashioned. They want you to cheapen yourself and lose your faith. They are like the Serpent tempting Eve with the apple. Don't bite.
Self-Value
I see you as precious gems, pure gold, or the "pearl of great value" spoken of in the Bible (Matthew 13: 45). All women are pearls of great value, but some of us have been deceived into doubting the value of our purity.
Jesus said: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you" (Matthew 7: 6).
Our pearls are priceless, but they convince us that they're cheap. But trust me; there is no substitute for being able to look in the mirror and seeing purity, innocence and self-respect staring back at you.

The Holy Qur’an describes many of the Prophets and their followers when they cried, "When the verses of the Most Gracious were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping" [4]
Furthermore we cry over the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (AS) for the Holy Prophet (SAW) wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS) as recorded in many traditions (ahadith):
Ahmed and Ibn al-Dhahhak narrated from Ali (AS): “I entered on the prophet (SAW) and his eyes were flooded, I said: Oh! Prophet of Allah, anyone made you angry? Why are your eyes flooded? He said: Gabriel just left me telling me that al-Hussain will be killed by the river Euphrates. He (the Prophet) said: So he (Gabriel) said: Do you want me to let you smell his dirt (from his burial pot)? I said: Yes! He reached with his hand and grabbed and handful of dirt and gave it to me. So I could not help it and my eyes were flooded.” [5]
Ummul Fadhl the daughter of al-Harith said that she entered on the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and she said: “Oh! Messenger of Allah, I saw a strange dream last night. He said: And what is it? She said: It was difficult. He said: And what is it? She said: I saw, as if, a piece of your body was severed and was put in my lap! The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: You saw well - Fatima will give birth, God willing, a boy so he will be in your lap. Then Fatima gave birth to al-Hussain and he was in my lap - just as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said. So I entered one day on the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and put him in his lap, but I noticed that the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) pouring tears! So I said: Oh! Prophet of Allah, my parents are your ransom, what is with you? He said: Gabriel (AS) came to me and informed me that my nation (ummah) will kill this son of mine.” [6]
Umm Salamah has said: "al-Hussain entered on the Prophet (SAW), while I was sitting at the door, so I saw in the hand of the Prophet (SAW) something he turned over while (Hussain) sleeping on his stomach. I said: Oh messenger of Allah, I looked and saw you turning something over in your hand when the kid was sleeping on your stomach and your tears were pouring? He said: Gabriel came to me with the sand upon which he (Hussain) will be killed. And he informed me that my nation (umma) will kill him." [7]
Ibn Saad, Ali bin Muhammad, Yahya bin Zakariya, a man heard it from 'Amir al-Sha'bi say: "When Ali (as) passed by Karbalaa in his march to Siffien and lined up with Nainawa - a village on the Euphrates - he stopped and called one of them men: Tell aba 'Abdullah (al-Hussain ) what this land is called? He said: Karbala. Then he cried until the earth was wet from his tears. He then said: I entered on the messenger of Allah (s) and he was crying. So I said: What makes you cry? He said: Gabriel was with me, just now, and informed me: that my son al-Hussain will be killed at the banks of Furat in a location called Karbala. Then Gabriel grabbed a handful of dirt and let me smell it. So I could not help it, my eyes overflowed." [8] From this tradition (hadith) we can see that Imam al-Ali (AS) also wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS). There are more traditions showing that the Holy Prophet (SAW) wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS). [9] Umm Salamah, the wife of the Holy Prophet (SAW) also wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS).[10] Even the Jinns mourned Imam al-Hussain (AS)'s death, it has been reported that after Imam al-Hussain (AS)'s martyrdom, Umm Salamah said: "I heard the Jinns mourning for al-Hussain.” [11]

🏮Packaged Opinions in Modern Day
"Perhaps we know more about the world than we used to, and insofar as knowledge is prerequisite to understanding, that is all to the good. But knowledge (specific facts) is not as much a prerequisite to understanding as is commonly supposed. We do not have to know everything about something in order to understand it; too many facts are often as much of an obstacle to understanding as too few. There is a sense in which we moderns are inundated with facts to the detriment of understanding.
One of the reasons for this situation is that the very media we have mentioned are so designed as to make thinking seem unnecessary (though this is only an appearance). The packaging of intellectual positions and views is one of the most active enterprises of some of the best minds of our day.
The viewer of television, the listener to radio, the reader of magazines, is presented with a whole complex of elements -- all the way from ingenious rhetoric to carefully selected data and statistics -- make it easy for him to 'make up his own mind' with the minimum of difficulty and effort.
But the packaging is often done so effectively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a cassette into a cassette
player. He then pushes a button and 'plays back' the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so. He has performed acceptably without having had to think".

Ayyaurai and the interviewer state that there is a medical coding conspiracy in order to increase income by claiming that there are deaths caused by COVID. This is false. We code and bill based on levels, depending on the complexity of the case. It has no difference whether it was COVID, chest pain, pneumonia, or anything, since the level is not usually based on the specific diagnosis. Additionally, the coding system takes YEARS to get updated, so I'm not sure where he made this information up saying that we are trying to code things as COVID. Once again, he probably made it up.
Ayyadurai states "Critically ill patients are immediately put on ventilators." They are not. Unlike him, people who practice medicine know that ventilators are a very difficult choice that we try to avoid unless necessary. We know that for many people, including those with COVID, if we were to put them on a ventilator, they may never be weaned. Once again, he is showing his weakness in the practice of medicine.
Ayyadurai states that flattening the curve is a "nonsensical science". If we do not try to reduce the number of hospitalizations, hospitals will run out of resources, resulting in many preventable deaths that would have otherwise been saved. Let's say that a hospital has 100 beds. If you do not try to reduce transmision of COVID, then perhaps after a month, you'll have 80 COVID patients, 20 non-COVID patients. At that point, you will run out of resources such as ventilators, so patients who have otherwise preventable illnesses, may not be able to get a ventilator and may die. If hospitals run out of resources and are overflowing, what if something as simple as IV fluids for dehydrated patients runs out? More deaths that would have been prevented otherwise. I don't understand his claims on this being "nonsensical". Once again, probably made it up.
He emphasises "building up people's immune system" as some sort of defense. He probably did not study, or is intentionally not mentioning, the science behind the immune system. In a properly functional immune system, if there is a foreign invader within the body, the body will recognize the invader, and spend a few days trying to build up defenses and eventually getting rid of it. In the meantime, the body will remember that invader so that the next time it tries to infect you, the body can get rid of it immediately. This is the EXACT science of vaccines. You are given a very small amount of the invasive organism so the body can identify it, then create immunity against it. This is the most natural way to fight an infection, so why are people irrationally against it? Many of these people have their own financial motives, and I suspect the same with this guy.
The role of vitamins in the body are certainly important, but they are not the solutions to everything that he professes them to be. There are toxic levels of vitamins that can result in medical problems. The role of vitamins strengthening the immune system is only semi-valid too. Just because you have a functioning immune system, there is no evidence that increasing vitamin intake will speed up the process to defeat an infection.
He is VERY deceptive with the way he describes things. He claims that scurvy was first thought to be due to germs. The strange thing is, the germ theory that we have today, was barely developed until the late 1800's. Scurvy (lack of vitamin C) was a major issue in the 1600-1700s, and the solution (eating fruits) was discovered in the 1700s. So once again, he provides selective information to make uninformed conclusions. Once again, he likely made it up.
Scurvy and Pellagra are two well-known, although rarely seen, diseases in medicine. I don't understand why he selectively states that they were thought to be due to germs. Even if that's the case, that does not discount the current practice of medicine and the fact that the treatment for them is vitamin supplementation.
Apologies for the long write-up. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/01/top-five-regrets-of-the-dying
Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
"This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
"Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
“Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."

Salam,
I’m working on attitudes scale analysis and my question is how can i interpret my scale’s mean score?? Do I have to compare my mean score on the scale with values reported in the pervious literature?!
I’m looking for some articles have specified the range of mean scores (e.g. low scores is between range 1.0-2.4 meduim between range 2.5-3.4 and high is between range 3.5-5.0).so I’d be appreciated if anyone can assist me with having the references for this range of mean score, if there’s any?!!
اعتذر عن عدم ارسال الاستفسار باللغة العربيه 🙏🏻
