This world is a deep ocean in which many knowledgeable people have drowned.
In this ocean, Taqwa should be your ship;
Your cargo should be Iman (true faith);
Your sail on this ship should be Tawakkul (complete reliance on Allah);
The captain should be reason (Aql);
Your guide should be Knowledge (Ilm) and
Your anchor should be patience (Sabr).
” —Imam Musa ibn Ja’far al-Kazim (as) (via trusimplicity)
What a beautiful hadith! We are so blessed to be the followers of such great Imams(as).
"Peace be upon those holy women who were left alone in the desert" -
Imam Mahdi(as) on the women of the household of the Prophet Muhammad(sawa) after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain(as) and his companions.

Muslims can be very funny...
I visited an Islamic school today.The principal gave me a tour of the school. It was all very nice. It’s a big school with really nice facilities for the students. There were huge namaz rooms and ofcourse strict segregation of the sexes. All the cute little girls in their huge uniform scarves were greeting me with salaams and I didn’t know how to reply to them all.
As I said it was all very nice until I saw the teachers staff room. The staffroom didn’t have any tables or chairs- the teachers were sitting on the floor! The Principal very proudly told me that they don’t follow the “western” “unIslamic” table and chair system! Another strange thing was that they didn’t allow students to wear shoes inside the classroom because “you cannot recite Quranic verses with your shoes on!”
The reason I was visiting the school was because I am considering taking up a job there (I am getting a bit bored with my hospital job). They want to hire a psychologist. While it would be very nice to work with kids from the community, I don’t know if I will be able to stand all the silly things the management is doing in the name of Islam!
