  • Question:There is a sentence mentioned in the ziara text of Al-Zahraa (PBUH) which is (Oh, you who was tested by your Creator before He had created you). How did Allah test her (PBUH) before this world, where this world is the world of testing?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, the test has been performed in the world of spirits and Althar world before the spirit attaches to the body. This is what the narrations and verses refer to, like the Quranic verse ((Am I not you God, they said yes You are)). So, this test has been performed after creating the spirit and before it attaches to the physical body. Regarding the test to be performed in this world, it is different from that of the world of spirit. You must not confuse between them.
  • Question:There is a narration saying ((whoever prays on me once will have all of his sins removed.)) Does this mean all the sins without any limitation, and does it mean even the grand sins (alkaba’ir)?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, it should be understood that we should contemplate on such traditions and know their implications. The most important of its implications is that the sins should be those which are between the person and his Lord only, whereas the rights of the people remain unless the person himself forgives the one who oppressed him. The other implication is that such traditions are concerned with the actions which are accepted like the prayers on the Messenger (PBUH&HF) as Allah (SWT) says ((Allah only accept from the pious “Almuttaqeen”)). Allah knows best.
  • Question:It is narrated that Fatima Al-Zahraa (PBUH) said ((my father (PBUH&HF) came to me and told me: Oh, Fatima, if you prayed on me and the previous prophets, then we will become intercessors for you on the Day of Judgment.)) The Question is: How do we pray on the prophets (PBUH) and what is the text of salam?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, the text of the prayer to the Messenger (PBUH&HF) and the other prophets (PBUH) is as mentioned in the narrated worshipping texts. It is: ((Allahuma Salli ala Muhammad wa aali Muhammad wa irham Muhammad wa aali Muhammad wa barik ala Muhammad wa aali Muhammad kama sallaita wa tarahamt wa barakta ala Ibrahim wa aali Ibrahim, innaka hameedun majeed, wa salli ala jamee’ alanbia’ wal mursaleen.)) Allah knows best.
  • Question:It is narrated that among the pieces of advice delivered by Imam Al-Askari (PBUH) to his Shia is ((we advised you to wear the ring in you right hand as we are here among you and now we advise you to wear it in the left as we disappear from you until Allah orders us to appear to you again and this is a proof of your following to Ahlulbait (PBUH)). In addition, he (PBUH) said ((tell the Shia of this speech)). How do we compensate between these and the tradition, which says that one of the believer’s characteristics is wearing the ring in his right hand?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, what you have said about Imam Al-Askari (PBUH) is not authentic in addition to the implication which it contains which is (Taqyia) which is very clear. That is, it says the ruling is based on Taqyia, if the narration is true. Allah is the All-Guide and He knows best.
  • Question:Does the Shiite tradition contain Israeli and buried narrations, especially in the important books?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, the Shiite tradition (heritage) is free of what you have mentioned, praise be to Allah Lord of the Worlds, and whoever accuses this tradition of what you have said should seek forgiveness and return to his senses and no power except in Allah Almighty.
  • Question:In our authentic books, it is mentioned that the Messenger (PBUH&HF) has authorized Imam Ali (PBUH) to divorce all of the prophet’s wives. Is it correct that this is mentioned?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, yes that is mentioned in our authentic books. Allah knows best.
  • Question:There is a narration saying ((any person who raises a flag (revolt) before the appearance of the Imam is a tyrant who is worshipped rather than Allah (SWT)). Does this tradition imply that one should not raise the flag until the appearance of the Imam (AJ)?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, this speech refers to whomever claims the authority of Imamate which does not belong to the Imam (AJ) because the “flag” here means the principle. Allah is the All-Guide and He knows best.
  • Question:What is the meaning of the saying of Imam Ridha (PBUH) ((and I am one of its conditions))?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, it is meant that believing in Allah and being monotheist couldn’t be accepted unless you follow Ahlulbait (PBUH) and the infallible imams (PBUH). Therefore, It is a condition for accepting the actions. Since Imam Ridha is one of the Imams (PBUH), so he is one of the conditions. Allah is the All Guide and He knows best.
  • Question:What is the source of the golden chain tradition (hadith Al-Silsila Al-Thahabiya)?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, this narration is proved authentic and it is found in authentic books. Allah knows best.
  • Question:There is a narration saying: (Oh Ahmed, I haven’t created the universe but for you, haven’t created you but for Ali and haven’t created both of you, but for Fatima) what is its meaning? And is it authentic or not?

    Answer:In the name of Allah, this is a holy narration found in several authentic books. The shar’i ruling cannot be proved as it lacks the authentic documentation. Allah knows best.
