Re: Eid E Milad celebrations
At Diwali time, the whole of India burns up so many crores of rupees without even thinking that the poor sweepers who clean up the mess the next day and the child labourers who actually make the crackers don't even have enough to eat, let alone waste, on that day. Ghulam, I dont want argue but at d...

Re: Breaking The Idols In Makkah & Thereafter.
Abraham's reason for breaking all idols (except the biggest one) in the house of worship was to prove to the Idol worshippers that the Idols can neither profit nor harm them hence they are not worthy of worship (refer 021:063-067)
What was Muhammad's reason for breaking Idols, if he ever did it ?

Actually, I believe that to be pretty ludicrous. The Imam is in hiding from danger. But he has left a 103 year old man in his place. Who do you think is actually stronger to withstand the enemy? The Imam or the Dai? If the Dai can survive the danger, why can't the Imam? Infact, the Dai has made his...

It is possible that the Prophet [saww] and/or Imams [as] said these ahadith but, it is unlikely that these ahadith (like that of the 12 imams and naming of the 12) were ever well known in the early Shia community. There were a few points of ikhtilaf on successorship, like the one mentioned in this ...

I think what it means is that he knew that Imam Musa (as) had the nass from Imam As-Sadiq [as] but also he claimed it for himself and so it would mean a supposed 2nd nass. so the first nass to Musa Kadhim and supposed second nass to Abdullah Aftah.
