Directives from the religious authority, grand Ayatollah Shaykh Ishaq Fayyadh may God prolong his life, Relayed by his son, Hujjatul Islam wal Muslimeen, Shaykh Mahmood Fayyadh during his visit, to the Unites States of America in April 2012/Jamadi al-Thania 1433 AH
All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds. May peace and blessings shower the greatest of God’s creation, the Seal of His Messengers, Muhammad, and his purified progeny…
For as long as the Shia – may God aid them with victory – have been known (to history), they have been the repository for safekeeping knowledge of guidance. They took it upon themselves to be sincerely devoted to that knowledge. Whenever their Imams raised a banner of firm knowledge and lofty morals they would follow its lead and trod its path, even if that was at the cost of being exiled, getting excluded and losing worldly gains. Nonetheless, they remained jubilant and pleased. They considered it a gain for themselves, while they considered what came of the miserable opposition and its abundant collections to be a loss. As a result, the Exalted God increased their certainty, giving it a sweet taste in their hearts. He mixed their faith with love, affection and allegiance. In every good soul among them, for any slipup they may have, God has taken them off the hook through the righteous deeds they perform to make up for it, or through a manifestation of their allegiance to the rightful guardians of truth – those whom God has chosen to place the truth with until the Hour of Reckoning. The subsequent teachings of the Imams (peace be upon them) as well as their guidance reiterate the importance of honing the souls (of the Shia) and building up the strength of their confidence regarding the Promise of their Lord. (Confidence which is) unmoved by the (winds of) storms because it includes pearls of wisdom regarding peaceful coexistence with other schools of thought; (pearls of wisdom) which draw people toward them and have them turn to their call – that is for those amongst them who lend an ear and have an open mind. Hence, the Imams were like lamps in the midst of darkness. Take, for instance, the words of Imam Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) when he says,
“You should have God-wariness, vigilance, and diligence; (you should) speak the truth, return trusts (to their rightful owners), (have) good character, and (be a) good neighbor. Be callers toward yourselves through (things) other than your tongues. Be an adornment and do not be a disgrace. You should also prolong (the duration of) your bowing and prostration.” In another narration, he says,
“Be callers (who call out) to the people with (things) other than your tongues, such that they may see vigilance, diligence, prayer, and goodness from you. For indeed, that is a caller.” In another narration, he says,
“One whose vigilance is not discussed by veiled women in their veiled quarters is not amongst our followers (Shia). And if one is in a village with ten thousand men and there is someone amongst God’s creation who is more vigilant than him, then such a person is not amongst our close friends (Awliya).”

@AbodeofWisdom
The narrations encouraging believers to hold fast to the faith and not be fooled by the worldly (life) are many. However, after this introduction, we will now focus on the following points:
1-- It has become clear from what we hinted at that the Shia individual, the believer, is a caller (to the way of God) and is someone who has been entrusted in every place which he/she may reside. If this individual is vigilant in staying away from sin, and diligent in the faith which he/she practices, then (know that) lofty character and vigilance for God are not gained together except in one who has been intensely sincere to God. At that point, souls will be inclined toward him/her naturally and his/her words will be accepted. That is because his/her actions are proof of his/her words. Lost and confused souls are comforted with tranquil souls and they turn to them, even if they do not act as they act. This model of a person in humanity is prized by every society because the individual integrates within (the society) which feels safe (regarding him/her), not fearing his/her actions. Some western civilized societies, today, are vibrant with certain virtuous qualities which have become an aspect of the social norms. Such qualities are considered in selecting potential citizens. If that be the case, then the entrenchment of such qualities in the souls of believers can play a role in preferring them for citizenship. That would allow the believers to become a reason for the (various) nations (of the world) to enjoy this faith. It would lead them to things beyond what they aimed for by it. They would become aware of the true blessing of Islam, of faithful devotion to the Exalted God, the One, the All-paramount. It would become (a source of) glory for them. Granted, a believer would only do so for the motive of (seeking) awareness and worshipping God – the Exalted – because (the believer) knows that God loves these qualities; not out of duplicity, doing so for other (than God) or for other motives.

2-- Because believers in some distant, western countries must necessarily coexist and deal with the peoples of those countries – with their various religions, the predominance of weak religious values, and being busy trying to develop material gains – they must take their precautions for themselves and pay attention to specify times and places to meet one another and revive the tenets of their faith. They should nominate individuals to teach the ignorant amongst them, to guide the misguided amongst them, and to convince those who depart (from the correct faith) through the use of clear evidence and the honorable religious legal rulings. (All of that should be done) in order to bring down (the hurdles of) hardship, such that the faith becomes their friend in their (environment which is) foreign (to the faith). If they do not do this, there is a fear that they may dissolve in the midst of such societies. Their religious spirit may be lost. Following one’s whims, as well as ignorance, may dominate. Consequently, this will lead to the birth of generations amongst them who are distant from religious values. They will lose themselves, and their families and relatives along with them.

3-- In order to avoid such ills, one can found centers for intellectual thought and hold religious sermons. The language of the modern times should be taken into account. Hence, the positives and negatives of western social contract should be pointed out. These should be distinguished from the nature of the religious concepts. The consequences of the negatives and cons of such societies, as well as the fraud of their short-term benefits, should be explained. For it is certain that the more a human being depends on civil society and personal abilities, without connecting to God through worship or remembrance which manifests in action, the more aspects of error become apparent due to this overindulgence. This is sure to reflect upon those societies. If this were to be analyzed and its consequences were to be presented properly, on the one hand, and if the instincts regarding the need for the Absolute Creator – the One toward whom all souls direct themselves – were to be awakened, on the other hand; and if this all were to be coupled with clear-cut proof that the Islamic faith is the truth, this would yield a secure perimeter for the Muslim youth. For others, it would also be a deep signifier indicating the correctness and authenticity of our beliefs.
It is also no secret that reviving the commemoration rituals of Imam Husain (pbuh) has a role in the conscience and depth of the Islamic cause, generally, in the hearts of people and specifically in the school of Ahl-ul-Bayt (peace be upon them) as well. Indeed, generally, societies empathize with the ideals and values which are embodied in the struggle of individuals. In the moments of a human’s interaction with the lofty values manifested in certain stands and actions, the darkness of concepts gained unwillingly or unconsciously due to indulging in a particular way of life is removed from one’s self. This shaking within the souls is a result of the ring (sounded) by the tragedy of the Master of Martyrs, with all of its authentic factors (at play). From the side of Imam Husain and his family (peace be upon them) to what they faced from his enemies who claimed to follow his faith. This will remove those souls from the cloak of plunging to obey evil, such as hoarding, greed, and love of debasing desires, and drag them compellingly to stand in line with the call of humanity’s innate nature. (The call will have them) join up with the caravan of virtue, honor, and lofty meanings with Imam Husain (peace be upon him) and his companions. After which, a human being would not accept for him/herself a surface-level faith which is polluted with sins and faults.
It should be noted that reviving the commemoration rituals of Imam Husain (peace be upon him) is the best guarantee for raising the young generation with religious values and virtues. That is because these (rituals) include practices beloved to their souls. Indeed, the actions of the limbs solidify the gains of their hearts for them.

4-- It has been noticed that some believers departed their home countries to foreign countries, without having a clear goal or being confident of their status in those societies. Thus, they became a burden of weaklings (on the believers), to say the least. Neither did they gain from what they traveled toward, nor did they satisfy an aspect of the need in that society. Rather, they returned with broken souls, no longer finding some of the beliefs and righteous considerations which had once rested in their souls.
In light of this, believers in such societies should strive to attain excellent academic scores and understand the responsibility on their shoulders. For, indeed, power lies in action, or in knowledge which an individual there knows well – as power for the principles and values which he/she serves. If the people of a single faith and school of thought, over there, connect to the connection of religious education then that will be a (source of) power for them and a guarantee (to protect) their interests. We also anticipate that the increase in the number of believers in those countries will give hope to reduce the extremeness in misunderstanding Islam, faith, and the attributes of believers. (This is the extremeness) as marketed by those with a prejudice and others beneficiaries who paint an evil image of Islamic countries.
5-- The formation of Shia thought, ever since its beginnings in the first generation after the advent of Islam, was not limited to a region or group. Rather, it is the conscience of Islam and its call – a call which was answered by people of every kind. The worked diligently with seeking knowledge and teaching until they casted the summary of their knowledge in their verdicts. That is why you see the Shia refer back to the Grand Jurists, based on the principle which is confirmed by all intellectuals – the ignorant one refers to the knowledgeable one. For they are unable to reach the basis for the verdict, which represents God’s judgment in the matter in question, and they do not find it okay – rationally speaking – to refer to anyone but the most learned one, in order to fulfill the legal responsibility laid down by the system of law which they believe in. Hence, if the most learned scholar is proven to them, or if his most learned nature is at the level to allow them to emulate him, they do not hesitate to refer to him, no matter what his nationality or ethnicity may be. There is nothing strange about that, for the intellectuals of the entire world agree that if they are assured regarding the qualifications or knowledge of a given person in an area which they need him, they turn to him with their need, follow him, and obey his commands to attain their objective. Emulating a Grand Jurist is not different from this (intellectual) practice. It should not be seen as strange, then, if an American citizen, for instance, emulates a Grand Jurist in Najaf or Qum because the Grand Jurist is directing him/her within (the framework of) what his/her faith dictates, and that does not at all contradict the conditions for his/her citizenship, with all that it entails in terms of (observing) agreements and (avoiding) violations.
Yes, when it comes to matters dealing with governance in that country and the established laws which organize the rights of citizens regardless of their religion, and in order to have harmonious coexistence, the Grand Jurists find it necessary to abide by these (laws) and comply with their content.

Molecular Geneticist Attempts to Prove All Humans Descended From 'Original Human Couple' Adam and Eve in New Documentary
By Vincent Funaro Jul 29, 2015 | 12:17 PM
A well-respected molecular geneticist who works for Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis is featured in a new documentary where she attempts to confirm, through recent scientific discoveries, that all humans descended from the biblical Adam and Eve.
This documentary, titled "The Genetics of Adam and Eve," displays the validity of the creation story by examining the genetics of all people. Its creator, Dr. Georgia Purdom, a geneticist who has published papers in various scientific journals including the Journal of Neuroscience, recently spoke to Christian News Network about the project.
"A historical Adam and Eve and original sin are the foundation of the Gospel," said Purdom. "The bad news, sin and death, begins in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve sinned."
"One of the most compelling genetic evidences for an original human couple created by God is mitochondrial DNA research done by creation geneticist, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson," added Purdom. "He clearly shows that the common human female ancestor of us all (biblical Eve) lived within the biblical timeframe of several thousand years ago."
Purdom said Jeanson's work debunks claims made by evolutionists that devolved creatures that eventually became humans were alive 100,000 years ago. She also discusses the notion of humans and chimpanzees sharing a common ancestor.
"In addition, genetics clearly show that humans and chimps do not share a common ancestor. There are many, many differences in their DNA that completely undermine the possibility of shared ancestry only a few million years ago," said Purdom, who believes the documentary will help Christians to better defend the Bible.
Purdom works with Answers in Genesis, an organization that holds to a Young Earth (6,000 years old) Creationist theory, and interprets the seven-day biblical account found in the book of Genesis literally.
The group's President and CEO Ken Ham has debated scientists such a Bill Nye over the origins of the Earth and mankind. He also helped to launch the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, which highlights the group's core beliefs, including proving that humans and dinosaurs walked the Earth together and debunking the theory of evolution.
Ham's group even takes aim at Christians who disagree with their views and most recently criticized the NBC originals series "A.D. The Bible Continues," a show based on the New Testament book of Acts, for not being true enough to its source material.
"Theologically and historically, the writers of this show have been sloppy at best and calculating agenda-driven at the expense of Scripture at worst. Indeed 'A.D.' for this 12th (and final for now) installment stands for 'Absolutely Dismal,'" wrote Answers in Genesis in a review of the series.
"There are several plot lines deliberately left unresolved and some are even 'cliffhangers.' We hope this does not mean that the series will be revived after a brief hiatus. Unfortunately, with this bad of a TV episode, there can be little to look forward to in subsequent shows if there are any."
Aside from criticizing opposing views from other groups, Answers in Genesis also stands for religious freedom in the U.S.
In December of 2014, the organization sponsored a sign that was posted in New York City's Times Square that featured a cross with the words "Thank God for Freedom" underneath. Ham discussed the placement of the sign at the time.
"I am thrilled that the Cross of Christ will be seen in the most-watched place in the world on this day," said Ham in a statement issued by Answers in Genesis.
The documentary won't be broadcast on television or online, but is available for purchse on the Answers in Genesis website.

“A lady from my children whose name will be Fatima, daughter of Musa, will die in Qum. On the Day of Judgement this lady will intercede for all my Shia to enter Heaven."
- Imam as Saddiq (a.s.)
Lady Fatima al Masooma was born in Madina in the beginning of the month of Dhul Qadah in the year 173 A.H. She is the daughter Imam Musa al-Kadhim (a), and the sister of the 8th Imam, Imam al-Rida (a). This noble lady dedicated her life to Islam and Allah swt . She arrived at the city of Qum, and after a brief illness, she died and was buried there. Her sacred grave became a pilgrimage site for the Shia, and the city of Qum was thereafter popularly called “Qum al Muqaddasa” (the Holy Qum). Shia scholars began to gather around her shrine and Qum gained a reputation as a centre of higher religious learning.
Today, July 25th (Dhul Qa'dah 1st,1438 AH) We celebrate The precious occasion of Anniversary of the birthday of Kareemat Ahlulbayt Lady Fatima bint Musa al Khadim [Masooma al Qum] (s.a). We congratulate the 12th Imam (ajtfs), and the followers of Ahlul Bait (a.s) on this auspicious day.
May Allah (s.w.t) hasten the return of Imam Al mahdi (the awaited)AJTFS.
