7	417	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life There is a significant disagreement among Shias and other Muslims regarding how Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her) passed away. Shias claim that she was martyred, and the cause of her martyrdom was that Umar ibn al-Khattab, when he forcefully entered her house to obtain the pledge of allegiance, struck her, resulting in her death and the miscarriage of her unborn child, Muhsin. However, others reject this claim and say that Umar only threatened to set the house on fire and did nothing more. Please clarify whose view is correct.	2020-03-23
6	261	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life Does Sayyid status also come through the mother? That is, if someone’s mother is a Sayyidah, is that person also considered a Sayyid and a descendant of the Prophet of Islam ?	2017-09-24
5	108	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life Does Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani verify the narration that states Zainab, daughter of Ali (peace be upon him) struck her forehead on the edge of a carrier until blood came out from under her veil when she saw the head of her brother? Shias quote this narration as evidence to justify injuring and hitting themselves during the mourning for Imam Husain (peace be upon him).	2016-03-11
4	94	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life Why did his Excellency Ali not try Uthman’s killers?	2016-01-29
3	91	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life The Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt did not take even a small amount of gold for themselves as long as they were alive. How is it that their graves are filled with gold?! Why did Ali not build an ornate shrine for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) like what Shias built for the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt, even though he was a Caliph and had control of the public treasury?!	2016-01-25
2	45	Attributes of the Ahl al-Bayt of the last Prophet, and their way of life There are many men among scholars and politicians whom their followers refer to as “imams”. For example, they say: Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi‘i, Imam Ahmad, Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and Imam Khomeini, while the Prophet said: “The Imams after me are twelve.” Is it permissible to use the term “Imam” to refer to those other than the Prophet and his twelve Caliphs?	2015-11-03
1	27	Characteristics of the last Prophet Shias believe the Prophet and the Imams from his Ahl al-Bayt knew the unseen. Is this belief correct? When I know that Allah’s Caliph on the earth knows the unseen, how can I do righteous deeds and leave evil deeds by my free will? In this case, there would be no room for self-development. Thank you for the explanation.	2015-09-14
