All Questions
I am getting bad thoughts for everyone and I am not able to control my brain of thinking what should I do. I didnt even cried on 10th Moharram because of all the bad thoughts running in my brain. This is first time I am thinking too much. What should I do now?
We should occupy ourselves with our own faults and this will keep us busy from thinking bad about others.
In majalis strive to think solely about the topic of the majlis and about the personalities of Ahl uk Bayt (as). Remove yourself from the worldly distractions for this time and dedicate that time solely to seeking the pleasure of Allah.
I tried hard but I am not able to do can you refer any dua or anything for the same
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ - 59:10
"Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful." Quran 59:10

I did some research online. Saw a lot of videos on youtube about end times. My research shows that end times are near. I want to ask your opinion on this matter. How soon do you think will Imam Mahdi will come?
No one can place a definite time on when the Imam (as) will make himself known to the public. All we can do is pray for the hastening of his reappearance and prepare ourselves by striving to be the best servants of Allah that we can be.

Does a washing machine in the USA render Najis clothing Tahir? For example, if one had a wet dream, is it sufficient to put the Najis trousers in the washing machine (mixed with other clothes, and washing detergents, etc.)? Or if I had blood on my t-shirt, can I just wash it in a washing machine to make it Tahir? Or must I place the Najis clothing under water once to get rid of the Najasah, and then once again place it under running water? What is the ruling of Ayatollah Sistani on this?
Question: In the West, there are many public laundry places in which Muslims and non-Muslims wash their clothes. Is it permissible for us to pray in the clothes washed in such facilities, especially when we have no knowledge whether or not the washing machines are connected to the kurr water2 at some stages of the washing, and whether or not it purifies the clothes in the process of washing?
Answer: There is no problem in praying in those clothes that were pure before washing them [in such facilities] as long as you are not aware that they have become impure. [In other words, what goes in the public washing machine as pure comes out as pure unless you are sure that it has become impure.]
Similarly, [you can pray in] the impure clothes [that were washed in the public laundry machines] provided that you are reassured:
- that the impure element, if any, has been washed away;
- that the pure water covered the entire impure area twice (if it had become impure by urine and even if the water was connected to kurr source as an obligatory precaution) or just once (if it had become impure by other elements);
- and that the water was removed from the clothes by wringing or other similar method [i.e., spinning of the machine] if it was qalil.
However, if you are not sure and just have conjecture that the garment has been purified as per religious requirement, the previously impure garment will still be considered impure and praying in it would not be valid.

Do I have to wash the impurity like the blood before placing it in the machine?
No you dont need to if you are certain that the najasat would be removed in the rinsing cycles of the washing machine.
Okay so if I place the bloody clothing along with other mixed clothes I do not have to wash out the impurity first because the washing machine will do it?
Correct
