Qabil killed Habil. Habil had a son named Sheeth. Allah sent down a Hawra (woman of paradise) and her name was Na’imah. Sheeth (Seth) married her. They gave birth to a girl named Hurriyah.

i heard in a lecture that one of our twelve imam's said ,. there will be two types of scholars , ulma e su and ulma e haqqa .
can you explain please
Imam Hassan al-Askari (as) said to Abi Hashim: "O Aba Hashim, a bad time will come upon the people. Their faces would be happily laughing, and their hearts dark and gloomy, the sunnah in them (would be) bidah, and the bidah in them (would be) sunnah.
The momin (believer) between them would be worthless, and the fasiq (sinner) between them honourable, their rulers would be ignorant oppressors, and their scholars (would be present) in doors of darkness, their rich would be looting the belongings of the poor, and their young ones would be stepping ahead of their old ones, and every ignorant near (for) them would be knowledgeable, and every imposter near them would be faqir, there wouldn't be any distinction between sincere and the skeptical (bad aqidah people), they won't recognize the sheep from the wolves.
Their scholars would be the evilest creatures upon the face of Earth, for indeed they would be inclined towards philosophy and Sufism, and by Allah (swt) indeed they're from people of ilhad (crossing boundaries/limits) and tahreef (distortion), doing exaggeration in love of our opponents, and misguiding our Shias and Mawalis.
If they're placed in an official position they won't be satiated with bribes, and if taken (power taken back) they would worship Allah (swt) upon showing off, indeed they would not be but robbers of the path of believers, and callers to be limit crossers/atheists, so whoever finds/comes across them so should protect themselves and safeguard their religion and faith".
Then (Imam) said: "O Aba Hashim, this is what I heard from my father (a.s), from his forefathers Ja'far b. Muhammad (a.s), and it's from our secrets, so hide it except from its capable."

I have an anxiety disorder and alhamdullilah im feeling better. With ramzan coming up I wanted to know the rulings regarding fastimg for someone in my state. I am also on medicataion and would like to know if i could take them in the middle of my fast. or If i suddenly feel a big burst of anxiety and i break my fast will it be considered a sin.
If it is necessary for you to take medication than you're not obligated to fast. If you will be off of this medication before next Ramadhan then you will do the Qadha of those days umyou missed, but if you will be continuously in need of this medication then you need to pay fidya of feeding one poor shia per day of the missed fasts.

I am a women and i study nursing but my friend told me that i cant study that because of my religion. I wash, touch(necessary) and help the people like a nurse do in the hospital. But is it permission to do that or no? Can i touch them with gloves and without wrong intentions?
Yes being a nurse is an honorable profession. When you touch men you can use gloves. If it’s necessary to save ones life then you can touch the male patients without gloves
So i can wash and touch but only with gloves on?
This is better when dealing with the opposite gender

All Questions
I have read in forums online that the modern day Shia faith is distorted from the one espoused by classic scholars like Saduq, Mufid, etc. How can we explain the present day Shia faith and the difference from early Shia islam. Are some/most of our practices based on weak sources and fabrications and have we abandoned the Shia Islam as it was meant to be practiced for a one filled with Ghulluw and Bida?
Our Shia faith is preserved by our scholars from generation to generation.
