✍ Prayer for Rain in Islam
🌧 In Islamic culture, one of the things that a Muslim should do in his daily routine is prayer and supplication.
🌧 A person should not be satisfied with short prayers and consider himself without the need for prayer. God knows that these prayers that are in Mafatih al-Jinan or in Sahifa al-Sajjadiyah and other prayer books are all for the purification of the human soul.
🌧 What is clear is that our society today has become a little indifferent to prayer and supplication and does not know that the key to solving many difficulties and problems and achieving individual and social openings is related to establishing a sincere relationship with God.
🌧 For this reason, there are many prayers in Islam to ask for rain. If we go to the court of God with sincerity of intention, God Almighty will still bless us.

💢The Illusion of Freedom💢
👤 Edward Bernays, Freud's nephew known as the "father of public relations and propaganda," was born in 1891 and died in 1995.
✔️ For years, he designed propaganda and psychological operations for the CIA, and at the beginning of his tenure at the U.S. Department of War, he proposed the idea of changing its name to the "Department of Defense."
💠 Bernays is a well-known figure in history, but perhaps his most famous publicly revealed project is "Torches of Freedom."
🔸 Between 1920 and 1935, the execution of this project caused the profits of American tobacco companies to multiply several times over, and the percentage of female smokers increased dramatically.
🔹 Tobacco companies realized that if the taboo of "women smoking" was broken, it would be like "finding a gold mine in their own backyard." Therefore, they hired Bernays to remove this obstacle.
💠 Bernays linked women smoking to the feminist movement—at the peak of the first wave of radical feminism's expansion.
🔸 He promoted the idea that women also had the right to smoke and that this taboo was a form of gender inequality against them.
🔹 In this way, he called on women to light "Torches of Freedom"—a clever metaphor for cigarettes—to put an end to these "Stone Age prejudices."
💠 In propaganda, the majority of people, under the illusion of "seeking rights, fighting for freedom, and resisting oppression," precisely play the role assigned to them by the designers behind the scenes.
🔸 Perhaps the most sinister manifestation of propaganda is exactly this: increasing the profits of companies selling death and raising the statistics of lung cancer and premature death among women worldwide.

Imam Reza, (peace be upon him), said:
The Imam is the rain-bearing cloud, the pouring rain, the shining sun, the shady sky, the flat earth, the abundant spring, the pond, and the garden.

The blood money for a woman is half that for a man. Is this ruling compatible with justice?
1⃣ Justice does not mean equality. It means putting each thing in its proper place. For this reason, God does not treat everyone the same. He rewards the good and punishes the wrongdoer. All Islamic criminal and legal rules are based on justice.
2⃣ Islam has a complete plan to bring people to true happiness. In this plan, everything has its place. The roles of men and women are defined, and their responsibilities and rights are set according to those roles.
3⃣ According to this plan sent by God, earning money for the family is the man’s duty. The woman has no duty or responsibility in this matter.
4⃣ For the same reason, the shares of men and women, and of brothers and sisters, in inheritance are different because their responsibilities are different.
5⃣ By the same rule, and because of the roles of men and women, if the victim is a man or a woman the blood money (diyah) is different. The diyah for a man is twice that for a woman. Therefore, if a man kills a woman, naturally half of the man’s diyah must be paid for him to be executed.
6⃣ It should be noted that the woman’s diyah being half of the man’s applies to murder and does not cover every kind of injury.

Morality or Religious Rulings?
📜 Answer
1️⃣ By "morality," we do not mean non-religious or subjective morality, but rather the very morality to which religion recommends, which leads to human perfection, and to which the pure innate nature (fitrah) of human beings calls. The Prophet was sent and commissioned to bring this morality to its peak, as he said: "Indeed, I was sent to perfect noble morals." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 16, p. 210)
2️⃣ One of the ways to acquire moral virtues is the correct practice of jurisprudential rulings (ahkam al-fiqhiyya). In fact, the very purpose of establishing these rulings is nothing other than this. It is not that morality and religious rulings are in opposition to each other; rather, both are for the purpose of reaching human perfection.
3️⃣ However, sometimes using certain jurisprudential rulings as a pretext to achieve non-ethical objectives distances a person from perfection and is incompatible with the morality to which religion recommends.
4️⃣ For example:
- 🏦 When a person gifts his wealth to his child to evade paying khums (one-fifth tax).
- 💔 When a man, despite having the right to divorce, coerces a wife with whom he does not intend to live into forgoing her mahr (dower).
- 💍 When a woman, despite knowing about her suitor's poverty, agrees to marry him and later demands the mahr.
In all such cases, the person has not technically committed a violation of religious law (shar) or jurisprudence (fiqh), but has performed an unethical act that distances him/her from perfection.
5️⃣ Instances of this kind, because they are contrary to morality and distance a person from perfection, cannot have the ruling of permissibility (ibahah); rather, they are at least reprehensible (makruh).

Five Key Terms Explained
📜 1. Morality (Akhlāq)
The set of noble character traits and virtuous behaviors that religion promotes, aiming for human spiritual perfection. It aligns with our pure, God-given nature.
⚖️ 2. Religious Rulings (Aḥkām al-Fiqhiyya)
Practical laws and guidelines derived from Islamic sources (Qur'an and Sunnah) that govern worship, transactions, and daily life.
💝 3. Fitrah
The original, pure human nature—the inner moral compass that naturally recognizes good and evil, and inclines toward truth and virtue.
📉 4. Makruh
An action that is disliked or discouraged in Islamic law. Performing it is not sinful, but avoiding it is rewarded.
✅ 5. Ibāḥah
A ruling indicating that an action is religiously permissible—neither rewarded nor punished. It falls between the obligatory and the forbidden.
