🤔 Why was I Born in the Western World? 🤔 🤩 One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is to what extent many Iranians are mesmerised by the West. Even many of the religious ones. 📺 The incredible thing is that none of them have actually seen the west. All they know about the West is what they have seen in dramas, movies, serials or on the internet. Yet so many Iranians speak about the West with such decisive authority, as if they be the president of a Western nation. 😳 When I tell Iranians that I was born and raised in the UK their first reaction is disbelief. 🗣 'But you're originally Iranian,' they tell me! 👳🏻‍♂To which I reply, 'no, I'm not. Actually I don't have any Iranian roots. And I'm the only one in my family who speaks Persian' 🤯 Their shock increases. I think if they were about to die the shock of hearing that a non Iranian from a Western country came to study in Hawza and learned Persian, would be enough to bring them to life! 🗣'So in what language do you speak to your parents?' 👳🏻‍♂ 'English' 🗣 'But why did you leave? What made you come?' ✅ This is the question I always await. Because at that moment the heart of the person asking is ready to actually hear the truth from someone who is actually from the Western world. 🙈 Since I was a kid I always dreamed of living in the Islamic world. I sometimes wonder what wisdom there could be in Allah having placed me in the Western world. Maybe this is one of them. Maybe I can play a role in awakening my brothers and sisters in the Islamic world about the blessings of Islam and the ugly realities of Western society. 🙏🏼 In any case, Alhamdulillah. 🔹الحمد لله علی کل نعمة 🔸والحمد لله على كل حال #انگلیسی @talabekhariji

🌐 The Blessing of Travelling... and its Challenges 🌐 🌍 One of the natural results of travelling the world is becoming acquainted with different ways of thinking, living, and being. Different lifestyles, perspectives, and behaviours. This is extremely healthy as it opens one's mind. It challenges the ideas that you believe to be absolutely true. It makes you rethink the prejudices you unknowingly carry within. It provides a golden opportunity for self reflection and internal introspection. Maybe this is one of the reasons that travelling the world is encouraged in the Quran and the Narrations. ✈️ Alhamdulillah, I've been graced with opportunities to travel and see different countries. Having relatives in different parts of the world assists in this process! I've also been graced to know more than one language and learn languages to which I had no connection in the past; this has opened new worlds to me, worlds that I could never have known without learning the languages that preside over them. 🍁 However, while these are certainly huge blessings... they have also posed a very interesting challenge. And that is being able to relate to individuals whose world is extremely small and narrow. Individuals whose horizon stretches only to the extent of their mundane daily routines... yet have subconsciously come to believe that there is nothing that lies behind that horizon. 🤬They live with the thoughts, beliefs, perspectives and prejudices with which their society has filled them, believing those to be unchallengeable rules that govern existence. And anyone who breaks them, who doesn't fit in to their narrow vision of what the world is, is considered weird, strange, an outcast. 🙄 How do you relate to such individuals? Do you ignore the bright horizons and visions that you have been shown, pretending to be blind, only in order to fit in? Or do you speak about them, while risking being considered insane? 💁🏽‍♂ But one thing is for sure: while travelling the world physically certainly assists in opening one's mind, it is definitely not a prerequisite. I have been astounded to meet people who, while they may never have left their locality physically, carry within them immensely elevated ideas, free from unfounded assumptions and prejudices. 🚫 They reject many of the social norms and trends of thought which they are expected to follow, and dare to think for themselves. Being with such people is water to my soul, a soul that is thisty to find someone to whom it can converse freely and share ideas boldly. ☑️ It goes to show that what matters most is the internal journey, not the external one. These people stand as living proof that the inability to travel is not an impediment to having an open mind... and thus no human being can blame their social conditions for never making the journey to enlightenment. #انگلیسی @talabekhariji

🌺 For the Martyrs of Peshawar and Qatif 🌺 🔹Between Peshawar and Qatif Grant me a few days of relief Enough to bury the bodies For hearts to burn in disbelief 🔹The martyrs now rested in ease Flying free like the morning breeze A shattered flacon's pure pieces Returned to their sweet families 🔹Between the saviour and Hussain Twelve nights to burn with love and pain Oh he too sacred to be named! Return once more to us again #انگلیسی @talabekhariji

🌆 A Blessed Evening in Najaf🌆 ▪️17 Sha'bān 1443 H ▪️21 March 2022 👳🏽‍♂This evening Shaykh AliRidha came to meet me. He gifted me a most precious gift: a copy of the book Kāmilul Ziyārāt. We went together to visit the blessed shrine of Maitham at-Tammār رض, after which we visited Masjid al-Kūfah. He invited me to return with him to the city of Najaf and have dinner with him at the Madrassah, and I gladly accepted. 🚕We got down from the taxi somewhere close to the shrine of Sāfi Safā and he led me into an old alleyway. It was so narrow that there was only space for two people to walk side by side. About fifty meters in, he took out his keys. We had arrived at the Madrassah. 🚪I looked at the door. It looked as if it had gone through many battles and sustained a lot of injuries. It was old and creaky. He opened it and we entered a corridor. This was an incredibly old and dingy building and did not seem suitable for human residence. And it was here that many students of the Hawzah resided. 🔹He took me into a small room, which was where he slept alongside one other Hawzah student. At first I didn't feel very comfortable. 🗣After dinner, he began speaking to me about the issues that students faced. He wasn't complaining. He was speaking to a friend about matters that pained the heart. And after that, he mentioned the stories of some great 'Ulamā', and the patience they had in the face of great hardship. 😢My heart was moved. I had heard stories like these before but hearing them from someone who took inspiration from them to remain strong in the face of very similar hardships, had a very different effect on my heart. During this conversation my heart felt at ease, and that small dingy room became the most beloved place for me on planet earth. I didn't want to leave. 🧔🏻My heart began aching as I thought of the purity of young Hawzah students who decided to leave behind prospects of wealth and material gain, for the sake of a promise they had never witnessed, and for the sake of a beloved they had never seen. 🔸Why should such a pure soul have to go through all this? Why...? And the why's were too many to count... 😔I thought to myself: would that I could set aside everything in life and just serve the students of this religion. I thought of my friends in Qum, and the hardships they faced. Now I knew it was a similar story in Najaf... 💠My heart was moved. We went to visit the blessed shrine of the Commander of the Faithful ع. As we entered through the door, we came upon the grave of Shaykh Al-Ansārī ره. I remembered the story of when he and his family had nothing to eat, yet he refused to touch the Khums money that was present in his home. And he and his family slept hungry. This was while he was the supreme religious authority of his time. 🙏🏼This Ziyārah was special. I asked the Commander of the Faithful ع to make me a means of assistance to the sincere students of this religion, and to let be a means of help and support for them. And I'm certain that this request shall be granted; I look forward to seeing how. ☑️This was a truly blessed evening. 🔺The picture above is the resting place of Shaykh al-Ansāri ره at one of the entrances to the blessed courtyard of the shrine of Imam 'Ali ع🔺 #انگلیسی @talabekhariji
