Thank you for your question. What you see in dreams in somewhat intricate. You may be projecting your own mind or you may connect to the imaginal realm. Either way the meaning of a dream is connected to all the various aspects within the dream and so it is not possible to say for certain.

Thank you for your question. While the Imams (as) commented on verses of the Qur'an and conveyed a world view which is based on Qur'anic principles they did not compose works of tafsir. There are a couple of commentaries attributed to certain Imams (as) but there are not reliably composed by them (as). But there is a genre of tafsir that focuses on the narrations from the Family of the Prophet (as) known as tafsir al-riwa'i or tafwir bil ma'thur which includes many works composed by scholars and ith this style of commentary.

Thank you for your question. Encouraging people towards what is good and forbidding them from what is not is only to the extent that the person will listen to you. At the end of the day everyone has their own choice and if your advice is not heeded and unappreciated then you do not have to continue trying.

May you always be successful.

Thank you for your question. If you are unable to tell the truth and express that something is against your faith or not recommended in your faith, then you can choose your words such that the person you are speaking to understands one thing, and at the same time you are not directly lying. This is called tawriya in Arabic and is permissible.

May you always be successful.

Thank you for your question. Not performing Jummah prayers for a lengthy period of time does not take someone out of the fold of Islam according to the School of Ahl al-Bayt (as). It is possible to pray Jummah at home if a person ensures that all of the conditions of Jummah are fulfilled. For the conditions of Jummah prayer please refer to the book of Islamic laws of your Marja.

Thank you for your question. While the wisdom is not known with certainty, some have opined that it is a symbol that the female path to God is one of chastity and so the donning of full hijab during prayer to a God who sees the female in all her states is a symbol of that path.

Thank you for your question. Although such broad questions would require a series of discussions rather than an online answer, the question of knowing largely comes down to a number of presumptions about how things are known. Most people do not actually know what they have presumed or the nature of how presumptions are evaluated and that is how they can get into intellectual predicaments as our presumptions can simply arise from those that dominate the intellectual environment that we live in and digest through the arts.

For example, if we have presumed that all that can be reliably known must be known by the five senses, then with that presumption it is impossible to know that God exists. But why should someone take that presumption over the presumption that a human can know more than what their physical sense perception accounts for? If we presume that we can know through other than our physical sense, then we can know God through our other senses and trust those senses in the way that we can trust what we already know to be limited physical senses. So once the issue of presumptions is solved a person can rationally move towards establishing the existence of God and answering the other questions you have posed.

God is also known through a deep connection and feeling within the soul.

Thank you for your question. Enjoying worship stems from the feeling of God's presence and His love within. For these feelings, a person needs to be calm, not in a rush to perform another task and sincere in their pursuit. They need to comprehend how much they need worship and how it is their lifeline to a connection to the Divine and all that is truly spiritual. If worship is approached humbly, lovingly and beautifully then a person will find solace in worshipping and will deeply value their connection with God, which is a connection of love and happiness.

Thank you for your question. As long as the marriage contract was pronounced correctly with all of its conditions and the divorce was also performed correctly the marriage is valid even if this was not the most ethical path.

May you always be successful.
