I guess most on the forum are either not affected by the crisis or are busy trying to mitigate their losses. The deep and prolonged recession that has already started will however affect us all.

Let’s not confuse ourselves, it’s the second hajj or third hajj we are talking about and not the first.

Could you elaborate on these boundaries then? Perhaps we are all not aware of them?

I always recommend Nahjul Balagha, the sermons and sayings in it give a very good insight into Islam and Shiaism.

You are as entitled to your views as the poet is in his when he writes those nauhas. As for the nauhas meaning, you are giving them a plain and very literal translation and interpretation.

I totally agree one’s spiritually gets a boost with such trips but should these experiences be limited for the wealthy only. Surely isn’t there more thawab that after performing one Hajj and that person gives another person an opportunity to experience the same feeling?

Here is another example of what I think is asraaf. Hajj is prescribed as wajib once in a lifetime but yet we have people who have performed Hajj in the double figures. Isn’t that money used to go to hajj better served in charity? Similar thing could be said about ziyarat.

Ok this is what I have found from the Red Bull website itself: Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid which is naturally occurring in the human body. “Conditionally essential” means that in some situations or under certain conditions, as for example in situations of high stress or physical ...

So would you agree that the Alams we find today are a little excessive? I find it strange that it is only the Khojas, Pakistanis, and Indians are the only ones (that I know of) that use the fancy Alams. Once you remove Khojas, Pakistanis, and Indians Shias you are only left with Shias from the Midd...

Its Red Bull and Vodka as far as I know (Red Bull is what keeps you alert and vodka provides the intoxication), haven’t tried it though. Going by your analogy, water, juices and other soft drinks are also sold where alcohol is so should we stop drinking these too? We make life unnecessarily complica...

All that you have mentioned above is correct (Note I am not verifying your quoted hadiths). The problem in our khoja society is that we are still dearly clinging to our Indian past hence the women seldom proposes. But that could be an unfair statement because I am not aware that this practice is eve...
