MOURNING & UNWISE MOURNING

Imam Hossein , third Imam of Shia Muslims , grandson of Mohammad (Islam's prophet) And his family beside seventy two of the best people of that age were martyred in Karbala (in Iraq).
We as shia Muslims mourn every year, the first ten days of Moharram (first month of new year of Hijri Qamari). This is not something as a tradition but a spiritual lamentation.
Unfortunately some extremists that their deeds are not wise according to every rational Shia ,do mourning in irrational ways such as , cutting themeselves, wearing dog's collar or reading poems that despise the dignity of human being, etc.
Shia enemies misuse of these irrational mournings that are done by some minorities, to spoil Shias. So dear Shias careful about your holy mournings.There is a picture of mourning , an irrational one,somewhere in Afghanistan, unfortunately…

THE STORY OF THIS WORLD

Once upon a time a man was passing through a desert, suddenly he saw a lion, a hungry one, he started to run and the lion ran after him,
From distance he saw a well, he became extremely glad, but as soon as he reached the well, an angry dragon appeared at the bottom of the well.
He was in a "great divide" a hungry lion behind and an angry dragon in front of him.
At this time some thing made him happy, it was a thistle, on the inner side of the well.
There was no time, danger was near, so at once he grabbed the thistle and became hanged into the well.
Now he felt relax and safe, beside it some thing desirable happened, he saw that there were some delicious fruits on that bush, he started to eat those fruits, but this happiness wasn’t long lasting too, the worst thing happened two mice, one white and the other black appeared and started to chew the stem of the bush …
It’s the story of our world; now look into the list of cast:
Lion: the Angel of death
Dragon: grave
Thistle: our property in this world
Mice:
white: day
black: night
may be you say it is a pessimistic view, but I think it shows the triviality of this world in comparison with the life after death, because that is our permanent place.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN & WOMEN 3

SHOAIB says go and bring him here.
You see, if he wanted to behave according to compulsion, he shouldn’t send his young daughter for Moses.
And if the girl wanted to behave according to commixture, she should go and simply tell Moses, my father has sent me for you, but she goes alone with extreme dignity and stays beside the way, Moses finds out that the girl want to have a word with him, so he goes toward her, and she briefly says, my father says come to me to compensate your kindness.
Then Moses doesn't say come to go shoulder to shoulder, he says it is not in our custom to walk behind women (you shouldn’t look at a woman even from behind).
Later, SHOAIB's daughter tells her father, Moses is strong and trustee, hire him.
The relation ship between men and women is mentioned in Quran and the ideas of compulsion and commixture are clearly rejected.
There is a nice sentence, Quran says:"behave them according to common law".
Common law means some thing that is right according to canonicals, wisdom and nature.
Common law is different, in different places, i.e. in the mosque there must be curtain between men an women, but it must not be so in a class in universities.
So we should find out, what is the common law in each place.
Quran says relate with each other, talk to each other, but according to common law.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN & WOMEN 2

Islam completely is against detention of women, Islam doesn’t agree to house women, according to Islam, ideas of compulsion and commixture are not perfect.
Behavior of Mohammad (pbuh) doesn’t match with the idea of commixture, since he had been advising that,
In alleys men should pass through the middle and women through the edge. Also about the entrance of mosques there should be separate doors for men and women.
The right relationship between the opposite sexes is elaborated in the story of SHOAIB's daughter in Quran.
By thinking in this story we will find out that Quran rejects both ideas of compulsion and commixture.
Moses is a stranger bachelor, in his way he sees two girls that are keeping their sheeps away from the pool,
Moses asks them why don’t you water your sheeps?
They reply with dignity, we won't water until the male shepherds leave here.
So in this part both ideas are rejected, there was no necessity to cause Moses to go and ask them, and if commixture were true Moses should say "come on, these shepherds are not bugbears".
Moses waters their sheeps.
Next part; SHOAIB asks his daughters, "why did you come back soon?" they answer, a chivalrous watered the sheeps.
SHOAIB says go and bring him here.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEN & WOMEN 1

Human beings have been created in the form of two sexes and God has put the tendency toward the opposite sex in their nature, human's character, convention of society and of course Islam knows this desire as the most natural axiom of the instinct.
The question is, how should be the relationship between opposite sexes before marriage?
There are two ideas about this matter:
1- idea of Compulsion: it says that the relationship between opposite sexes must be according to necessity i.e. so long as there is no urgency, we should avoid the relationship.
2-idea of commixture: according to this opinion, men and women could relate to each other with regard to canonical standards, as two human beings not as opposite sexes they can participate in scientific conversations with each other and so on, with regard to canonicals.
Now lets see what's the basis of these ideas,
Followers of idea of Compulsion ratiocinate that man and woman are like fire and cotton so their proximity is dangerous, also they exemplify Joseph, the prophet, who couldn't resist against the woman,with that much of chastity(as a prophet) and prayed for the help of God.
So the first group concludes that the approximation is completely dangerous and we must avoid the unnecessary relationships.
What does Commixture idea say?
It says human being is greedy to what ever is forbidden, so if we want to have a safe
society we must reduce the sensitivity.
And Islam's opinion:

FEAR

According to dictionaries fear means; an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific danger.
As human beings all of us have hade, and being rational, will have such an emotion.
We live in a world in which you can find nothing completely positive or negative, every thing that is related to mankind has both sides. i.e. fear has good as well as bad aspects too, but here I'm trying to take a look at bad aspects.
Fear is an obstacle to our achievements, you know better than me, we all have plenty of instances in this case, remember the first riding of bicycle of yours, could you?
The fear of falling, this fear causes stumbling, etc.
I believe that it is fear that stands in front of us as an obstacle and causes our failure or postpones our success.
Also there is another thing that some how has effects like fear, its called diffidence.
Here I have a question, how much do fear and diffidence overlap each other?
