🧠 #psychology | Differences between Male and Female Brains

👤 Dr. #Raefipour

🔹The book "Female Brain and Male Brain" discusses the differences in the brain models of men and women. We have structural differences in our brains.

🔸The brains of both genders start off quite similar during the first one and a half months of fetal development. However, as men's brains are influenced by testosterone, they undergo changes that set them apart. This means that the basic brain structure is feminine, but men's brains have changed over time, with speech-related areas shrinking and areas associated with independence expanding.

🔹In contrast, in women's brains the speech section is expanded, and that's why they love to talk so much and have the ability to decipher multiple conversations when ten people are talking at once.

🔸No offence, but as an instance, even the research on monkeys has shown that female monkeys produce 16 distinct vocalizations in a day compared to the 6 produced by male monkeys, for example, a vocalization for food, another one for danger, and so on.

◾️This signifies a biological difference.

💠#Lesson | As long as we do not appreciate His presence, He will not come!

🔹Do people truly understand the value of Imam Mahdi? (may Allah hasten his reappearance)
How can we be sure that if He (aj) were to return and sit on the pulpit and just like Imam Ali PBUH says:

"Ask me your questions";

again someone would not inquire:

"how many hairs exist on their head?"

That's how they treated Imam Ali PBUH. Did they truly valued the worth of the infallible Imam? Until we understand the true value of Imam Mahdi (a.j) , we will not understand what a big treasure we are being deprived from.

🔸 People will face great suffering! Either they understand by themselves, or God will make them understand that they are deprived from having access to the infallible Imam.

They will either become restless through their own contemplation or adversities will befall them in life, forcing them towards desperation and restlessness.
400 year gap between the time of Prophet Joseph and Prophet Moses (peace be upon them). Prophet Moses was their Savior.

🔹They cried and lamented for 40 nights, pleading:

"O Allah, forgive us for our mistakes and send us our Savior"

They were truly desperate, why? Because they were oppressed, with their sons being slain by the Egyptians:

«يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَكُمْ»
They were slaughtering your sons and keeping your females alive 2:49

🔺 They had no hope left. What was the result of their cries and prayers? God shortened the remaining 170 years of awaiting the savior, who arrived sooner. For this

reason, Prophet Muhammad PBUH said:

أَكْثِرُوا اَلدُّعَاءَ بِتَعْجِيلِ اَلْفَرَجِ
"Pray earnestly for hastening in the reappearance of your savior, for that is your solution."

📝 #Lesson | Choosing Between Light and Darkness

🔹Inside the mother's womb, the fetus exists in complete darkness. If you were to out your hand on their eyes and ask what it is, they would say:

"I don't know."

You explain to them:

"These are eyes, meant for seeing. You are going to see the world with them, in your next life outside the womb."

They laugh at you and say,

"Leave it. No one has ever returned from there. I only need to grasp onto the umbilical cord, that's all I need. That's my everything."

Their contentment lies in holding onto the umbilical cord - their lifeline. However, that cord must eventually get cut off, so they can be fed through a new way. This example signifies the continuation of the journey towards Allah. After death, the means of sustenance will evolve. your feeding path will change.

🔸Exactly, if you have too much attachment to that umbilical cord, it will kill you as you approach your birth. Some get suffocated with the umbilical cord. Some people get strangled or ensnared by their worldly attachment in life, but they don't realize it. Existence of Light is necessary in such cases.

🔹But now imagine someone who hasn't forgotten his fetus times, and remembers the environment of the mother's womb well, and even after venturing out and seeing the light, enjoying the freedom of movement, running, hearing, yet he prefers to return into the mother's womb and chooses the darkness. Such a person's situation is horrifying. They actually love the darkness.

📝 #Lesson |The Nation of the Halal-bred

🔹In Colombia, the percentage of those born from Haram (illegitimate) under the age of twenty is 84%. Witness the disaster that has befallen that society! Across the Middle East, Turkey has the worst rate of 5%. Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan do not even reach 1%. This nation is the land of the Halal-bred people.

🔸It is true that there are political differences and certain problems, but this country is the country of the Halal-bred. Lately, there have been individuals advocating for practices that promote White Marriages or "cohabitation." This is a threat!

🔹In some forms found in some Western countries, they have added an "unknown" option for the father's name. The most hateful term in Islamic literature is "Ibn Abiha (son of his father)," for instance Ziyad ibn Abiha, signifying Ziyad the son of his father. He was called that as his father was unknown.

🔸It is narrated that the ten men from the Huwazin tribe who saddled their horses with new hoeseshoes and attacked Imam Hussein PBUH, were illegitimate and Haram-born. This is not a joke! A society stands against its Imam of the Time, that is born from Haram!

🔹How does a society become Haram-bred? Firstly that society gets fed with Haram Morsels. As Imam Hussein PBUH mentioned:

مُلِئَتْ بُطُونُکُمْ مِن الْحَرَامِ؛

"Your stomachs are filled with Haram!"

📚Al-Allama al-Majlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 45, p. 8

🔺 Do we pay attention to these warnings and refocus our awareness?

💠 #Lesson | When the Imam and the followers are ridiculed!

🔹Imam Musa al-Kadhim says about Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him):

"May my father be sacrificed for Him, the one who remains unaffected by any words of blame on his path to pleasing God."

🔸This highlights that in this era of occultation, Imam Mahdi is frequently being accused.

🔹Some claim:

"He doesn't even exist,"

🔹while others argue:

"He hasn't even been born and if he has, he was killed as an infant."

🔸Countless instances of mockery and insults. If they ridicule the Imam of you and me, should we not expect them to ridicule ourselves?

🔶 Why is it that the Quran introduces the people of the End times as such:

وَلا يَخافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ

"And they are not afraid of the blame of anyone who blames."

🔺This implies that those people are being blamed.

🔹 If one day, in this era of End Times, we find ourselves not being blamed due to our commitment to religion, then we should doubt in our dedication to religion. We must assess whether we're on the right path and have not gone astray, and check out why the disbelievers are okay with us? We should wonder:

"Why is it that our opponents' media have not been ridiculing us lately?
Why are they not insulting us anymore?
Why do they not label us for defending the truth?
I seem to be doing something wrong, I must be unknowingly playing into their hands and aiding them in achieving their goals."

🔖 Why do we sometimes try but see no results?

✍️ Allah says:

"لَیْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَیٰ 53:39

Humans only reap the outcomes of their own efforts.

❓But why is it, that we sometimes work hard yet fail to achieve our desired goals?

▫️ Allah has ordained distinct systems for this world and the hereafter.

🔹In the hereafter, the system and principle of effort & reward is absolute: the more one strives, the greater their reward. As stated in Surah Al-Isra (17:19):

وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَشْكُورًا

"Whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it as it should be striven for, while being a believer—their efforts will be rewarded."

✍️ ✍️ However, worldly endeavors do not follow the same rule. It is not that whoever wants something will attain it.
In verse 17:18, God says:

عَجَّلْنَا لَهُ فِيهَا مَا نَشَاءُ لِمَنْ نُرِيدُ

"We grant in this world whatever We will to whom We will."

Yet, not everything one desires is granted.

🔺Why?!
➖Because this world (temporary life) is not a system of guaranteed rewards, but a system of divine decree and tests.

⬅️ God explains:

"I grant in a way that sets up the next test. It is not that I give you whatever you want, however you want."

➖In this world, our efforts are not always meant to lead to the exact results we desire. Because the world is a system of evaluation,not transactional compensation.

📝 #Lesson | Neither rush ahead of the Imam nor fall behind Him.

🔹There are some people who rush ahead of the Leader of the community. For example, they address the Imam saying,

"No sir, you should do this!"

The Prophet promised that they will en going to Hajj; when they were about to go, the polytheists interrupted and a dispute arose which led to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

🔸In a particular incident, the Prophet declared:

"We will go for Hajj next year."

The second Caliph, in a state of protest, challenged him and said:

"You promised we would go for Hajj. What happened?"

The Prophet calmly replied:

"We will go next year."

Unconvinced, Omar persisted:

"No, we must go for Hajj this year! What kind of negotiation was this? What agreement did you make?"

And in the end, he said,

"I will fight against them."

He took up the sword and headed towards to make a conflict; in return, the polytheists attacked back.

🔹The Messenger of Allah (s) told Imam Ali (a):

"Go and prevent him from starting a war."

When the polytheists saw Imam Ali (PBUH), they got scared and turned back. The issue was always made by those who were over heated and those who were so chill. That is why in the Ziarat al-Jamia we are taught:

"Do not go ahead of the Imam, and do not lag behind."

📝 #Lesson | Technique for Overcoming Envy (Jealousy)

🔹There are some undesirable qualities within us that are difficult to eliminate. But each time we emerge victorious over them, the next victory becomes easier for us. We learn to confront our ego. Envy can affect both you and me. All of us possess a certain level of envy. Envy is a very frightening quality! Satan was envious; Shimr was envious; those who stood in front of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) were envious.

🔸Sometime you envy someone insignificant like me, and that doesn't matter much, ultimately a calamity may befall you. But there may be a time when you envy someone dear and loved by God,. That could have dire consequences! May God show mercy upon you! It is as if you are a negative number, manipulated into the positive number of that person. For example, if you envy someone whose rate is 10, your rate become -10. There may be a time when you envy Imam Hussain (PBUH), you become negative Imam Hussain; you become Shimr!

🔹Now we want to combat this envy. How to eliminate it? To combat envy, we must show respect to the person we envy. By doing so, we feel discomfort and burn from inside, but our Ego gets trained and fixed. After some time, that quality will be like a wet clay that is loose and can be washed away. Ultimately, you reach a point where you see that the envy in you has almost disappeared entirely.

💠#Lesson | Preparations for the Advent of Mahdi a.j

🔹The advent and coming of Imam Mahdi a.j is tied to real-world conditions. When Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) states,

'One-third of the world’s population will die from illness before the advent, but our Shias will not die.'

➖ What does this mean? This indicates that Shias have a strong healthcare system and are cautious not to blindly follow global protocols.

🔸 Alright? So, where are these preparations? If it is said,

'One-third will die in red death, in wars, but our Shias will not be killed. [1]

➖This implies that no aggressor would dare target the Shias.


🔹 This is the essence of preparing for the arrival of Imam Mahdi a.j. Being a preparer means taking action and starting now:

'In matters of health and biosecurity, we must rank among the bests in the world!"

💠#Lesson | Ceasefire with Israel

🔷 There's a key point here: Israel was utterly humiliated. Especially after those deadly strikes in the final hours before the ceasefire—when Iran pounded them nonstop from 5:30 to 7:30 AM.

🔶 Humiliation is devastating for the Zionists. Israel always boasted: "If anyone hits me, I’ll retaliate so brutally that no one will ever dare touch me again." Take the hijacking example: Palestinians seized a plane, took hostages, and landed at Entebbe. The Israelis bombed the entire airport—they blew up the passenger plane, the fighter jets, everything! And those poor people were a neutral third country, they had nothing to do with it! They just let the plane land. Israel declared: "It’s fine, you can hijack our plane, but we’ll make sure you can’t land it in any airport in the world!"

🔷 October 7th happened, but then they struck Gaza so hard that even Gazans thought: "Was October 7th worth this carnage?" They wanted to display their superiority in military. But here in this battle with Iran, the exact opposite happened. In the last two hours, they were hiding in their rat holes, unable to lift their heads, especially in Be’er Sheva where their sirens failed to work. They got slaughtered like dogs. Humiliated.

🔶 They can’t handle this humiliation because the Zionist regime’s entire premise is: "Jews of the world, rise up and come here! I’ll protect you!" But what happened? They were trapped in shelters for 12–15 hours, fighting each other, not letting one another in! The videos exposed the chaos.

🔷 They’re humiliated. Now even settlers in the occupied territories (israel) are asking: "Is this even worth it? Is staying here worth our lives?"
This ceasefire, which everyone says is temporary, means they must flee as soon as possible. As soon as their airports slightly recover and allow flights, just watch what will happen at Ben Gurion Airport! Right now, they’re escaping illegally by boat, paying smugglers to reach Cyprus. They’re also fleeing across the borders to Jordan and Egypt.

🔰#Lesson | The Wisdom of Hussain, the Leadership of Zaynab

✍️ Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), with deep foresight, made a smart decision: he chose Lady Zaynab (peace be upon her) as his "public trustee", and Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) as his "hidden trustee" so that the enemies wouldn’t catch on to who the next Imam really was.

▫️ After the tragedy of Ashura, the enemy was keeping a close eye on the captives, trying to find out who was the leader of that Caravan. To protect the blessed life of Imam Sajjad from harm, his role as Imam was kept a secret. So instead, Lady Zaynab was put forward as the visible leader and point of contact. so anyone with a question or in need of guidance would turn to her.

✍️ It was a clever move—seeing a woman in command made the enemy less suspicious. That helped protect the Imam of their time.

⬅️ The greatness of Zaynab’s leadership becomes clear when you realize that in just half a day, all the warriors of the caravan were martyred. After Imam Hussain’s martyrdom, in the heart of sorrow, in a desert with no protection, surrounded by enemies—Lady Zaynab stood tall, strong and unwavering, and led through that terrifying scene.

🔰 #Lesson | Gaza Strangled by Hunger — What Have You Done for Your Brother?

✍️🏻 The people of Gaza are enduring catastrophic conditions. 85% of them have reached level five hunger—a point at which even receiving food may not save them, as their bodies are too ravaged by starvation. If this continues over the next couple of weeks, a large portion of Gaza’s population will perish from hunger and thirst.

❗️We are Muslims!
Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him), quoting Imam Reza (peace be upon him), said:

“I am ashamed before God to pray for paradise for my brother but not offer him a single coin.”

On the Day of Judgment, I will be told:

«لَوْ كَانَتِ اَلْجَنَّةُ لَكَ لَكُنْتَ بِهَا أَبْخَلَ وَ أَبْخَلَ وَ أَبْخَلَ» [1]

“If paradise were in your hands, would your stinginess allow you to give it to your brother?” [1]

📚[1] وسائل الشیعه، ج ۱۶، ص ۳۸۷.

🔖 How can we pray for heaven for the people of Palestine, Lebanon, or even our own community, if we’ve done nothing to ease their material suffering?

✍️🏻 If you possess bread and deny it to the hungry, how can you claim to want paradise for them? What goes around comes around.

▫️Indifference today will become our own suffering tomorrow. God forbid, one day others may speak of starvation in Iran.

We must act, whether through financial aid or donating goods, both cash and in kind.
Our responsibility is to take action, while praying alongside.
