Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
When a person intends to send a proposal for marriage, he must pray two rakat prayers, praise Allah and recite the following invocation:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم اَللّهُمَّ اِنِّى اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَدِّرْ لِىْ مِنَ النِّسَّآءِ اَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجًا وَّ اَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِىْ فِىْ نَفْسِهَا وَ مَا لِىْ وَ اَوْسَعَهُنَّ لِىْ رِزْقًا وَ اَعْظَمَهُنَّ لِىْ بَرَكَةً فِىْ نَفْسِهَا وَ...

remorsecode:
How strange a world we live in when the one whom the Quran testifies as a scheming deviant is loved and praised more than the one who was described as a part of the prophet (s), the master of the woman of the worlds, spending the last part of her life using a walking stick before dying at 18 years old and not even receiving a burial beside her own father. Your grandson will avenge...

on the issue of "infallibility"
realfakescientist:
I saw this on my dash a lot this past week, and I don’t think it was addressed in a short yet descriptive manner.
when a person aligning him/herself with the Shia school of thought says he/she believes someone is “infallible,” it does not mean that the person being referenced as infallible (for example, the Prophet saw, or Ahlul Bayt as) is perfect and can do no wrong, but...

brightenmysoul:
Shirk is of two types. Open shirk is where one openly believes there is another entity other than Allah (ex: trinity, polytheists). The second type of shirk is hidden. That too can be divided into two categories: external which is riyah (showing off) and internal where you only worship Allah to get to heaven, ect.. by using Him as a means to an end instead of an end. The scholar...

What is Knowledge?
14noor:
“Knowledge is not acquired by learning. It is only a light which Allah (Blessed and High is He) penetrates in the heart of one whom He intends to guide. So, if you desire knowledge, then first seek in yourself the reality of servitude. Then seek knowledge for its application. Ask Allah for its understanding, He will make you understand it.” The narrator says I enquired, ‘What is the...
Imam Mahdi's dua for concentration in prayer
14noor:
Before uttering the Takbirat ul Ihram (Allahu Akbar), it is worthy that he recites the invocation of attention (doa-e-tawajjoh) which, in the narration of Abdullah Ibn Jafar Himyari (received in the tawqee’ of Imam of the Time (May God hasten his re-appearence) is as follows:
وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمواتِ وَ الأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً مُسْلِماً عَلى مِلَّةِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ دِينِ...
